Not quite the progress I was hoping for to end the month but I figure I have a few more days before the end of the month Looking forward to the February challenge as this was good accountability for me and helped me stay focused toward the end of the week when I knew weigh-in day was coming.

* I’m putting a disclaimer here as I feel next week will be an increase as this weigh in happened after getting sick this morning (but I forgot to weigh in yesterday).
** on some positive notes, I didn’t gain as I predicted, and I hit 50 pounds today!!!! However, I had to take my 2 1/2 year old to ER Friday night with high temp (ear infection we found out), but now I feel as though I’m coming down with FLU

Happy Sunday, everyone!
FINALLY the scale is being kind again. Steady but small losses all week and a new daily low of 205.5 today. My last daily low was 205.9 on January 5th. I have been bouncing around the same numbers since then.

Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1999: 195.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233
Goal: 180 in however long it takes.
December 25th to December 31st: 206.9
January 1st to January 7th: 207.2
January 8th to January 14th: 207.2
January 15th to January 21st: 207.4
January 22nd to January 28th: 206.5
Loss for January: 0.4 Better than a gain!
MFP Loss: 26.5
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 36.5 lbs.
Until January 31st...
Move more, eat less.

This has been a difficult month for me even though I have been eating better and regularly exersising. Next month, I plan to meal prep, in order to help me consciously eat more nutritious meals instead of just working to be under my calorie goal. I have to admit its been discouraging but I refuse to give up. 5 -
