Hi everyone!!
Not sure where everyone is in the world but here in Ontario Canada I have had enough of winter!!! Another storm coming our way this evening… I
Thankfully I lost this week -- 1.3 pounds!!! -- so that cheered me up a bit.
I was hit (literally!) with a head cold earlier this week and I upped my calorie count a bit -- just to give my body a bit more energy to fight off the cold. Seems to have worked -- cold is almost gone and I lost my planned 1 pound!
Still reaching my 10,000 steps goal every day but feeling tired and lazy -- cold and winter weather and bored with walking on my treadmill at night! Finally, I am still trying to drink more water…. Getting there but still not a habit…
CSW for this challenge 177.8 on March 27th
1st weigh in April 3rd 178
CW (April 10th) 176.7
GW for this challenge 169
UGW 165 (for June 30 -- the first day of summer vacation for me!)
My big challenge this week will be to keep it all going while I am out of town for work.

Please remember your fitbit isn't doing any of this for you it only assists. You are the one doing this because you want change. As a matter of fact I weighed the fitbit and it is actually doing the opposite by adding 30 grams to my weigh-in
Good luck everyone!

Excellent point! Gotta take that sucker off for weight-ins. Another big offender is wet hair! It can add ounces if wet, especially if a lot of hair..some people might gain a pound of water 😉

Hi All!
So, another week of maintaining. Getting a bit frustrated but I guess it's not all bad. I would have really liked to have seen some more progress this week but never mind.
I was looking at my Fitbit app, trying to figure out what could have prevented the scales moving down this week, I've been exercising & felt like my workouts were more effective this week, but then I looked at MyFitnessPal app & that made it a bit clearer. On my exercise days my cals in v. out were fine but on almost all my rest days I was over my cal allowance, sometimes not by much but on a few days I was over by quite a bit 
.
I think those particularly bad days may have set me back, I tracked my food everyday & looking back I perhaps didn't make the healthiest choices lol! I didn't have take out or eat massively unhealthy dinners but I did demolish a tub of Ben N Jerry's & had a few beers whilst watching the golf, stuff like that which pushed my cal count over, so I think my lack of control when it came to snacking let me down.
But not to worry, onwards & upwards.
This week my Husband has been away so it's been an odd one, I've stuck to my exercise routine though & not let the fact that I'm missing him get the better of me when it comes to snacking. I've been making the conscious effort to cook more fresh food & I've had a lot of fun with that this week, made some fro-yo, some oatcakes & a few yummy dinners from my new fav cookbook that I will try again with the Husb when he's home.
For those of you who might be interested the cookbook is called 'Simplicious' & it's by Sarah Wilson. I love it!
So yeah, hoping that being more careful with what I eat & avoiding unhealthy snacks might help push me in a better direction this week. Hope you all have great weeks & weekends!

Another one bites the dust 
!!!
The goal challenges on my phone is really helping to motivate me to get more steps in. I find myself doing 1 to 2 miles each night on the TM to help keep me in the top 3 rankings. The rest of this week should be beautiful & sunny here in Ohio and I'm definitely looking forward to getting in some lunch time walks. I have the Jillian Michaels Shred dvd that I plan to start incorporating every other day....starting tonight. I am feeling FANTASTIC!!
I am so close to hitting my first 5% loss milestone. It WILL be mine next week!! 
Here are my stats:
USW - 220 (Jan 2016)
CSW - Mar 27 - EASTER - 214.6
