    Hi Friends, just wondering your opinion on whether to eat at calorie goal, under goal or eat exercise calories? I tend to stay under or at goal but I’m not sure that’s the right decision. Thanks:)

    I eat some of my exercise calories back, but it's really up to you. :)

    This week I had a big drop. For some reason, I always follow these up with terrible food days and that's exactly what I did this weekend. I try to keep only healthy foods on hand, but even healthy foods can be overdone. However I managed to lay my hands on some Valentine's cookies and ate four of those too. I still made it under my weekly calorie goal, but it wasn't for lack of trying to break it. The struggle was very real.

    GOALS: Forgive myself for the eat-all-the-things weekend. Plan the food, log the food, eat the food and no extra food. Stick to the workout schedule and get plenty of water in. Spend some time every morning playing with my puppy in the yard.

    This week's successes: I got all of my runs in this week. Even though I didn't eat very well this week, I still ended up losing a little so I'm ok with that.

    Current weight: 259lbs
    Total weight lost: 6lbs

    Well, 1.5lbs off is ok, but I felt as though I might have done better this week. As weird as it may sound, I feel physically like I lost more. But hey ho, its still a loss.

    Successes this week: Lost 1.5lbs, feeling a bit better overall, and I'm now just 1.5lbs away from losing 6stone since May 2018!

    Challenges: Keeping focused and not letting myself get sidetracked. I'm lucky enough to have a really great support network, and they keep me on track as much as they can, so I need to utilise that and just remember where I was this time last year and how far I've come since then.

    This weeks success is lossing weight in back to back weeks. This usually doesn’t happen for me. I have also been trying some new exercise classes.
    This week challenge is to keep on track while I’m in TN at my sisters. It’s usually hard doing this when I’m off schedule.

    I have 55 lbs pounds to lose for my son’s wedding in May 2020.
    I realise to be successful long term is slow & easy. I've did many quick fix diets which you never maintain but hopefully this time is different. My main goal is to remain focused on a healthy lifestyle. Snacking mainly on fruit and have 3 balanced meals per day with limited alcohol only on special occasions and not every week. Luckily i enjoy the gym & plan to go to exercise classes 4-5 days per week.

    Started this challenge on week 3.
    Starting Weight – 195lbs 01/03

    01/23/2019 – 190.4
    01/30/2019 - 187.0
    06/02/2019 – 185.0
    13/02/2019 – 185.0 Maintained this week although did stick to healthy eating & exercising. Didn’t have a very good week emotionally. Found this week really difficult.
