    Week 4:
    Start Weight: 152lb
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140-144
    Weigh-in #1: 149
    Weigh-in #2: 146
    Weigh-in #3: 147 / 66.8kg
    Weigh-in #4: 145 / 65.9kg
    Total loss: 7lb.

    A positive thought: that's half a stone gone!
    A healthy meal: A sensible sized portion of haggis, neeps and tatties for Burns night! (probably not healthy, but stayed within my calories)
    Effective workout: C25K week 4 is in the bag! On to week 5!

    I've decided to start weighing in kg as well as lbs, because my scale only weighs in whole pounds but will do 0.1kg. Since I am set to lose half a pound a week, there's a better chance of a loss showing up in kgs!

    Weigh-in #1: 206.8
    Weigh-in #2: 205.6
    Weigh-in #3: 202.6
    Weigh-in #4: 201.6

    A positive thought I had this week was: Eat well, feel well!
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Salad, Greek yogurt, overnight oats
    My most effective workout this week was: Zumba

    Comments: It was a stressful week, so I'm glad I made good choices and stuck to the plan. My husband has some stress/anxiety issues and his doctor changed his medication and doses, so it was just an off week in our home. I took on more of the house and kid responsibilities because I didn't want him to get overwhelmed as his body adjusted to new medication. He seems to be feeling better now though. *fingers crossed*
    I spent the majority of Sunday cleaning the kitchen and meal prepping so hopefully the week will go smoothly for meals. Kids and husband have been sick off and on for the past few weeks so I'm just trying to keep everyone healthy.

    My most effective workout this week was: Didn't happen :(
    Comments: Having a very rough week. I am on the verge of just giving up with trying anymore. I will try harder this week. I blew the exercise last week due to hurting my back and over-doing it. I seem to continue to do this. I am going to commit to no more than 30 minutes at a time each exercise day this week. Hopefully, I can get 5 workouts in, and will NOT hurt myself in some way. Also, I am feeling super PMS'y today. I don't get periods anymore due to hysterectomy (still have ovaries) so the PMS feeling hits me like a ton of bricks because I am never expecting it. I will NOT give in to that crazy nonsense though!

    Week #4 -

    Start Weight: 110
    Challenge Goal Weight: Maintenance goal range of 108-113.

    Weigh-in #1: 110.2 (109.6 trending)
    Weigh-in #2: 110.8 (109.9 trending)
    Weigh-in #3: 110.2 (110.0 trending)
    Weigh-in #4: 110.0 (110.2 trending)
    Total: -0.2 (+0.2 trending)

    I was pretty consistent with the gym this week. Also cooked a good dinner this week, which is a win because I haven’t cooked in so long.

    But overall, emotions got the best of me this week. I didn’t stick to my calories, and so my weight is continuing to creep upward. I am still at goal right now, but I need to be watchful so that I don’t end up gaining the weight back.

    Marriage is still a wreck and counseling doesn’t seem to be helping - although it has only been a few weeks, and I know this is going to take much, much longer. Feeling very alone.

    You ARENT alone. We are all here with you. Your marriage isn’t a wreck.....you’re experiencing the “for worse” part. Changes will come in time. You have to believe that and work towards them everyday. Focus on doing YOUR part in the relationship and you will feel better about things. Counseling helps on so many levels.

    Comments: (Please share any additional information if you'd like). Don’t know if it’s my connection with all of you or what, but I’m seeing good results and feeling great. My husband started his own diet which makes my shopping easier and he’s not eating as much junk around me, although he takes a day off each week.

    HOW EXCITING :blush:

    A positive thought I had this week was: It's been a tough week...but I'm still here and checking in and somehow I'm down a pound
    A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: most dinners were some form of grilled meat and a salad
    My most effective workout this week was: I didn't work out at all this week :s

    Comments: It's been a stressful and an emotional week so I'm hoping this week will be better. I totally skipped the gym every day last week and I felt guilty about it for a while but I think I just needed a break and few extra hours of sleep. The good news is that I didn't really overeat and could limit my emotional eating to something that wasn't totally destructive. I stress baked some brownies yesterday though, so we'll see how that goes haha

    Weigh-in #1: 149.6
    Weigh-in #2: skipped
    Weigh-in #3: 150.2
    Weigh-in #4: 152.2
    No particularly inspirational thoughts this week.
    All of the work meals I pack are pretty healthy, but I eat the exact same food every time I work.
    I think I only made it to the gym once.. I don't even feel guilty because sleep is probably my #1 hobby. But, I know that working out really helps me mentally so I'm going to try to do better.
    I stayed within my calorie goal 6/7 days this week, but I'm pretty sure the 20ish cough drops a day I'm eating and not logging might be the problem, lol.
