My Fittness Pal Check In

Hi Everyone! I hope you week is going well so far. I figured today was as good of day as any to let you know how my weight loss progress is going. I want to start off by letting you know when I first started using the MyFitnessPal app, I really wasn't doing it "hard core". I would skip days or not log in snacks, and I wasn't really worried about. Also, I had my cruise I went on within the first two weeks of using it. Vacation + All you can eat = weight gain.

After my vacation I came home and stepped on the scale to a new weight of 193 pounds. Needless to say I wasn't happy with that number. So I really started taking my weight loss goal more serious, and really kept up with logging my food in the MyFitnessPal app. And I happy to report that this was the number I saw when I got on the scale today...

In the 5 weeks since coming back from my vacation, I've lost 5 pounds. Now I know I could have lost more weight at this point, but I have my app set to lose a pound a week. So I'm right on target!

Before starting this "program" I didn't pay much attention to my food and only focused on working out- which wasn't getting the results I wanted. However, now that I've seen the scale move down every week since really starting to use the MyFitnessPal app on a regular basis, it has made me a believer that it does work.

Here is a screen shot of my 2 month progress...

As you can see- there was a gain at the begin of March (cruise food binging) and then a consistent lose since. However, this week is going to be the hardest. Reason- I'm going on vacation. Tomorrow I'm heading to Seattle to visit family and go to a party for my uncle. So my goal for this week to maintain my lose, and not gain anything over this vacation. Wish me luck. However, I'm hoping because I'm not a boat with an all you eat buffet 24/7, this vacation shouldn't affect my waistline as much.

I hope you all have a great week! And I hope to check in and let you know how my trip is going!
