    Comments: Manged to get cardio in most days and still found time for a little self care (read a book for fun, painted my nails, etc.) while working full time and having 2 sick kids. It was a rough week, but overall made good food choices. I would love more sleep though.

    Start Weight:186.4
    Challenge Goal Weight:170

    Weigh-in #2:184.2
    Weigh-In #3: 184.6

    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Vanilla Protein shake
    My most effective workout this week was: Barbell Pump....took it on Friday and my hamstrings still hurt...

    Comments: I bought a scale! Old Kelsey would have been very upset with the lack of weight loss and probably would have been kicking myself but I think I've grown a bit. Yes I want to lose weight but I wont punish myself for not having a perfect week. Plus I keep telling myself that I lost all muscle mass and my body needs to rebuild...hence no weight loss.

    Comments: So, I need some help. I have been doing everything right and am almost right back to where I started. I workout every day, I drink water, I plan every meal and stick to the plan, I log everything that goes in my mouth, and I have barely anything to show for this effort. This is when I think, "What's the point?" Why even try if it doesn't make a difference!?

    This is exactly me. My weight keeps going up and down but stays in this general area and it is so frustrating! I also log every bite accurately and workout. Its hard not to feel demoralized when you are trying so hard and the results are so slow to come, if they come at all. Keep with it. You are definitely not alone!

    Start Weight: 140.8
    Challenge Goal Weight: 133
    Weigh-in #1: 140.8
    Weigh-in #2: 139.8
    Weigh-in #3: 140.4

    A positive thought I had this week was: " That run was fun, nice and easy"
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I've been using a lot of vinegars instead of dressings or oil with my food
    My most effective workout this week was: A youtube workout from Shelly Dose, she has some great videos if anyone else works out at home. This particular one only used body weight but all the jump squats really got me feeling it the next day.

    I am a little disappointed that I couldn't stay in the 130's but I am still a tiny bit lower than my week 1 weigh-in so I'm going to try and stay positive. I will try to do better this week but my husband and I are going on a little weekend trip next weekend and I know thats when it will be hard to stick with it.

    I haven’t been consistent with calories (some days severely over, and some days severely under) but it all seems to be evening out.

    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was:
    My usual morning protein shake. My stomach has been feeling a little iffy lately, so I’ve been eating more carbs (so many crackers!) than usual instead of protein.

    My most effective workout this week was:
    Glute bridges are still kicking my butt (literally) and also nightly yoga; same answer as last week!

    @jyoung3507 I’m sorry that you are frustrated. Some of the things that people on MPF stress that might help you feel better:
    - Weight loss is not linear, so don’t feel too bummed. At least your scale is still moving downwards.
    - Weight loss takes time!
    - Take photos and tape measurements, especially if you’re exercising, so you have other metrics beside the scale on which to monitor progress.
    - Use a scale to weigh your food, so don’t log by volume or guess.

    Big hugs. You can and will succeed. Baby steps are realistic.

    WEEK 3
    Start Weight: 150ish
    Challenge Goal Weight: 145
    Weigh-in #1: 149.6
    Weigh-in #2: skipped
    Weigh-in #3: 150.2

    This month has been very hard for me emotionally, unrelated to my diet. I have felt like I'm 2 steps away from having a total breakdown. But I mostly held it together and last week I started to see a professional for some help. And I'm off work for the next few days so I'll be able to sleep and workout, so things are looking up.
    Also, Happy Birthday @gesundundmunter !
