Successes / struggles this week: I lost a significant amount of weight over the past two years, but I’ve gained a few pounds back recently. My exercise and weight lifting is still good, but I’m having a hard time getting my diet back on track.

Successes/Struggles this week: I feel pretty good about my weight loss this week. I'm really trying to do better on weekends! I'm a little nervous about tonight being Halloween. I haven't eaten any candy since the beginning of Sept., so I don't plan on eating any tonight!

I struggle with motivation big time! It took me forever to finally get over my funk and decide I gotta get my crap together. Give it a good 2-3 weeks of your 100%. That will be all the motivation you need. Once you start feeling and seeing a difference in yourself and your body you will get the motivation you need to keep going. Just think about how awesome you will feel by Christmas... I love the holidays. But hate them when I have very low self esteem. It takes a lot of my happiness away. I want to be happy!!!2 -

Successes / struggles this week: I couldn't get to the gym much this week which was frustrating. I'm pleased with the loss - I'm sure this is to do with water retention in the last week of my cycle finally going but I'm going to take this as a positive start. Grateful for all the motivation on this board

Struggles/ Successes:
Weekends are still tough. I want to snack more in the evenings, even though I've had a perfectly satisfying dinner.
On the plus side, I didn't eat any Halloween candy...yet. The leftovers are still here. I need to get them out of the house and DONATE the rest!

Well, I went on got the flu, so my eating has been terrible this week - lots of sweets in an effort to comfort myself. Up a little but I imagine this next week will be better.

Successes / struggles this week: had two birthday parties and Halloween this week. I did ok for Halloween - candy wasn’t a temptation - but the birthday parties were trickier. I wasn’t tempted to eat the junk but rather felt OBLIGATED to eat it. Like they went to a lot of trouble to get a cake and make snacks and food and I felt rude to not have any. So I went over calories one day but wis still within deficit calories for the day and for the week. But this feeling of obligation to not be rude to my hosts has me a bit concerned as I head into the holiday season.3 -

Successes / struggles this week:
Halloween was a bit of a struggle. I sort of compromised by letting myself go over on calories on the 31st, but still keeping track and staying under on the other days. So my weekly average was on target. On the total success side, I can officially run for a full hour! Next goal is to get to 10km.4 -
