Pandanate, I think this is a really positive suggestion. More positive than setting a monthly weight-loss goal. Because, you know, you can be sticking to your calories and your weight may still not drop one week...or for the ladies, if it's time of the month, it might go up...or any other things could happen. However, whether we stick to our calories is something we CAN control, and if we KEEP sticking to them, then eventually the weight has to come to the level we want it - right?
No matter what happens from one week to the next. So, count me in! I've had a bit of a turbulent two weeks. I mean, it's only been turbulent food-wise - went to a course where 'lunch and morning tea' were provided, which meant delicious cakes and slices for morning tea and big lunches! At the same time some family came back to town and are staying with me, and they've wanted to have a family, communal dinner each night which has been fair enough as I only see them in the evenings and I haven't seen them in about a year! I'm back on track, calorie-wise now. I've gained back some of the weight I lost so I won't set a calorie goal for February or update my stats until I lose another kilo or two, but I AM in for this. Starting today is my first day
However, for me I'm going to make it a 28-day challenge, to take me to my first weigh-in day at the end of February. Good luck, everyone!
Pandanate and gabbiearcher, sorry to hear you're having some unpleasant things in your lives at the moment. Take care of yourselves, OK? I hope it all gets better soon and that your work resolves and also that your two-year-old is OK
HUGS!
