    I don't get it :# ...more exercising, less food and this is the result? I am very disappointed but I'll continue trying again in February


    The last ten pounds, and especially the last five or eight are almost always very difficult.

    If your ultimate goal is 135, you will probably end up going up and down between 130 and 140 or something like that, and it might serve you well to see that as success!

    January Start Weight: 141.8
    January Goal Weight: 136.8
    January End Weight: 136.8 On the money!
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 125

    Jan 1: 141.8
    Jan 8: 140.4
    Jan 15: 138.2
    Jan 22: 138.8 Went over my calories on Monday, but was under them every other day this week. I drank 64 oz minimum of water daily and even upped my exercise by 15 per day to compensate. This has to be water retention because I didn't eat that many calories to gain fat. I think I'll be able to reach my goal this month anyway.
    Jan 31: 136.8 Just made it!

    See y'all next month!

    January Beginning Weight: 190.2
    January Goal: 183
    Ultimate Goal: 145

    1/1–190.2
    1/8–188.8
    1/15–187.6
    1/22–186.6
    1/29–187.8
    1/31–186.6

    Total lost: 3.6

    I am very disappointed with my lack of control with my exercise and food intake over the past 10 days. I started the month driven to take control of my health and weight. I have allowed myself to be lackadaisical about food choices and exercise due to outside influences. I need to be more vocal about my needs in these areas.

    Ready to take control in February!

    Remember to be proud of what you've managed to do this month, as well! Slow and steady prevents the yo-yo-ing and gives skin more time to recover elasticity and limit loose skin too <3
