I have been trying to increase my fiber - found a cereal that has 10g! - and I finally had a normal bm yesterday. Hoping that will continue ...
Otherwise, I have been trying to get more fruits and veggies. I finally gave up on avoiding lettuce (there was an E. coli scare in December/January) and have been having salads.5 -

A positive thought I had this week : I'm excited for the warmer weather and I'm glad we got some rain, I can't wait to see everything turn green again.
A healthy snack/meal I chose : When I went out to dinner I only had one drink and I ordered a cranberry quinoa salad topped with avocado.
My most effective workout this week was : I took by first cycle class and that day was sprint day.....very intense.
I am losing weight at a snails pace but I feel good that at least I am losing something and I hope that the loss will be more sustainable this way.3 -

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Tortellini (1 cup serving) with ham and sour cream.
My most effective workout this week was body cycle.
Comments: Awful pressure with school work makes it hard to work on this goal, too. Barely had energy to body cycle (only 2x) and moving around a lot to get things done.

Congrats! Here's to hoping I'm not far behind you there LOL! My doctor gave me a recipe that helps quite a bit if you are interested. It's all natural and doesn't taste too bad. I just started it again as it's been a problem lately.1 -

Slow and steady wins the race. I decided last week to eat back some of my exercise calories because I'm really struggling with hunger. I'm obviously not eating enough if I'm stomach growling hungry. Upping what I eat has certainly helped and honestly it hasn't stopped my weight loss it's just going to be slow going. BTW, I'm good with slow, I mean I've technically been at this for four years now!2 -

A positive thought I had this week was: *crickets chirping*
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Spring mix salad with grilled chicken and Panera Asian Vinaigrette
My most effective workout this week was: hill sprints
Comments: I'm not surprised I'm up. It's that time of the month and I ate fast food throughout the weekend. I either eat healthy, balanced meals or complete trash, depending on my stress level. Tracking this week has been very eye opening. It's been very stressful at home lately and I am sliding back in to bad habits, which is very frustrating. I didn't work so hard to see my results slip away from me. For now I'm going to focus more on consistency with good food choices and exercise and trying to find a balance for life's stresses.3 -

A positive thought I had this week was: Even though it's my TOM and I had a couple of restaurant meals, I still logged as best as possible. Some days were pretty scary, but I figure that I need to be honest with myself and acknowledge what I eat. That's how I can be mindful for life.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Popcorn with a drizzle of truffle oil and salt. Very satisfying.
My most effective workout this week was: There are still a million feet of snow on the ground in Quebec City, however, my dog and I did a couple of 30-40 min trail runs in the forest near our home. We go pretty slowly since I don't want to slip, but it was wonderful to run outdoors.2 -

So I guess I shouldn’t ask if you went to Cafe Du Monde?

Didn't weigh in yesterday because I forgot until right after I had eaten breakfast and had my coffee.
Positive thought: yay friendship! Played boardgames with friends this weekend. And I won! Sometimes!
Healthy snack: cocoa almonds!
Effective workout: I only walk. T_T need to add some strength training.
walking on college campus (where the boardgames were. The cheapest parking resulted in 20 minute walks), walking/jogging with dog (tried adding more jogging, but sometimes she is just not interested and wants to sniff).
Comments: I guess last week's gain really was just due to TOM!
2.8lbs to go until I meet my goal! 4 weeks seems like not enough time for that, especially since it took me 4 weeks to lose this pound! We'll see!2 -

You can DEFINITELY lose that in 4 weeks with ease. Remember, a lb a week is doable. Good luck. You’re right on track.2 -

I have mostly stayed under my calorie goal this week, but still not lost a lb. Fitbit tells me my deficit is between 200 and 450 calories most days, sometimes a little more. Hoping for one of those whooshes soon! I'd really like to get under 10 stone (140lbs) by Easter but it's not looking great. I need to stop eating so much.
In positive news, the Halo Top stuff I have read about so often in the forums has appeared in the UK! It's expensive though, so I don't think I will be having it that often. The cinnamon something flavour was good though.
Finally went felt that my lungs could handle a run at the weekend, so I'm now on to week five of couch to five k.2 -

Positive thought: I finally feel like I am in the groove!
Healthy snack: Not snacking at all! I add some of the small halos or an apple if craving sweet.
Comments: Making the decision to eat only between noon and 8 pm has completely changed my brain's reaction to food. I'm no longer binge eating and feel super satisfied with my food. I'm still eating whatever I want, but staying in or under my calorie goal. I feel like I am finally going to make some progress and maybe even meet my goal!3 -

A positive thought I had this week was: I put a full length mirror in my room... I haven't used one for years. But I had a few positive moments. Not there yet with body confidence.. But trying which is a good step.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was:
Turkey chilli con carne with cauliflower rice
My most effective workout this week was:
Went walking in the sunshine.. That is now long gone! :-(

Yeah, I lost 2.8lbs in the first 4 weeks, but then it took me 4 more weeks to lose 1 more pound, so who knows? I keep my diary goals at maintenance to have a more manageable calorie allotment (tried and failed miserably to do 1200 when I started. Every time I see the red, I get to kind of a "well, I've already ruined today!" feeling). Also, it just dropped from 1720 to 1660. T_T
I definitely lose slower this way, but I feel like it's more suited to me, and feels more achievable. Knowing I've made progress toward my goal and made positive lifestyle changes (writing this after taking a lunchbreak walk!) helps me feel confident I will continue losing and get to my goal eventually.3
