    How do u edit ur own post? Its not giving me an option and have to write it out again...

    Hi Sarah, you don't edit, just hit the quote button, remove the code around the text to get rid of the quotation marks (like your post above which I've quoted) and then add to your weigh ins, and hit post, to create a new post every week :smile:

    Hi guys,
    I used to join in with monthly weight loss challenges where we'd set our own goals and support eachother, which was really motivating, haven't seen one for a while so I thought I'd start one.

    Successes / struggles this week:

    Success: Running consistently seems to be really helping, so I'll keep that up. I'm at 2 miles a day and increasing slowly. I should be up to 3 miles daily by Christmas. I'm planning to run a 5k with my daughter in early December.

    Struggles: Limiting my beer consumption to a pint or two every other day. Not eating too much at dinner and not helping my daughter finish hers (she eats like a bird). Realizing that I can "waste" food. It's either wasted in the trash or wasted in my body.

    Weight -/+ this week: -3.2 lbs
    Weight -/+ this month: -3.2 lbs

    Successes / struggles this week:

    Success: I suppose the weight loss is the biggest success! I went to a conference at my college today and did my best to avoid the more fried finger foods. I opted for a chicken salad sandwich and a side salad and a side serving of bow tie pasta, and more cheese and wine, fruits, and the grilled chicken during the evening hours.

    Struggles: Water consumption. I drank more coffee and wine than actual water, and I'm looking forwards to going back to drinking at least 50oz a day starting today. I also struggled getting to the gym this week, and I think this weeks loss was mainly because I was busy at the conference and didn't have much time to eat.

    Hope everyone is having a good week!

    Successes / struggles this week: Late to the party as usual lol. I’ve eaten KETO for over 2 years, lost 40# early on and held it off until the past couple months when I let carbs creep back in and regained 15#, ready to tighten up on it to get that 15# back off and finish out 2017 strong. Dusted off the free weights and treadmill too. Back to drinking lots of water and PTK.

    Successes / struggles this week: Whenever I go back to my hometown from college I have a tendency to be lazy and eat all the junk sitting around at my house haha. Should probably work on self-control, but also see it as a way of de-stressing from all the work in college.

    Successes / struggles this week: It really looked like I wasn't going to see any progress with yesterday's weigh in. I was stuck at 160 all week and then Saturday the scale said 161. It was kind of discouraging, but I stuck with it and just ate what I knew I should and Sunday morning I saw the number I wanted. Haha I ran 7km for the first time this week! Slowly building my distance up. I'd like to be able to do 10km by the end of the year.

    I started MFP in 2015 and lost 35 pounds. Unfortunately, I've gained almost all of it back. My struggle is snacking and activity. I retired in 2016 and am not as active as I used to be. I'm hoping to change that starting this week.
