I went down and up too. I did end up losing weight but not quite 2kg. I have been better about exercise and eating though, although in the last week the hot weather has had me reaching for icecream more than I would like. Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Ugh, I forgot about this. I don't think I even gave a starting weigh-in actually, but I also didn't weigh this morning as yesterday was ... a write off.

Deb ... I find frozen berries helpful when fresh fruit is gone. Throw a few on breakfast, or in natural yogurt, or make a smoothie, etc.

What a fantastic little group you guys have!
I must drink more myself. I might put a bottle near my computer so i can drink while sitting down.
My daily goal is to reach 25,000 steps. But i must go to the gym twice a week, do a circut there. And swimming either at the beach or gym twice a week.
I think Valentine's day is a great day to work towards... go hard everyone!

Only got in my 5+ today with juice. So hard when it's the end of the week and we've run out of real fruit. :)

That's the point - 2kg in five weeks is not supposed to be a challenging goal. :)
Keep at it, and don't skip the gym any more! LOL

Can you attribute that to specific behaviours where you have made less than optimum decisions?

You are welcome to join in. The 2kg posted loss goal is from last Friday, so you can use whatever weigh-in was closest and aim for 4.4lbs. :)
I have had my 5 F&V today already! Yippee!

I'd like to join in here. I just have to remember that it's in kilos not pounds .. lol. Water shouldn't be a problem for me, the exercise, especially strength, is something I have to work to keep doing.

Well I'm up to 330 cardio minutes so far, in three days. :) So 600 in five weeks is going to be no problem.
Didn't get 6 glasses of water yesterday though. Will try harder today.

Half way through my water now! It's so easy! You just put a bottle beside the PC. I went to grab it for a quick drink before I head off and realised it was almost empty already! So I downed it all. Now I only need one more bottle!
:) My approach to water this week is going to be "I can have all the diet coke I want - AFTER 6 glasses of water!"
