    1st August: 227.0

    Weight lost/gained this week: -0 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: -3.6lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Nothing crazy the last few days, so I stayed where I was, which is fine. At least I didn't gain before the final challenge check in. Its not at all where I wanted to be, and its a little frustrating to have only lost .8 lbs since the 22nd, especially when I've been working so hard. I am going to drop my calories by 100, since I've been at this for more than a month and am not losing as much as I feel I should be. On to August!

    Weight lost/gained this month: 5.1 kg

    Wow, I really knocked it out of the park, this month. I thought I did well last month when I lost 4.5 kg, but wow. And I had a lot of struggles with plateauing, being tired and not pushing myself as hard. I think it's maybe more difficult because it's not as new to me anymore. I've gotten into a routine, so I don't feel quite as motivated as I did before. I think something I'm gonna have to really work on from now on is perspective. I often get disheartened if I haven't lost very much that week, but will quickly forget that the previous week, I lost a ton. I think a key for me is gonna be constantly looking back as where I was before. Two weeks, one month, three months ago, where was I and where am I now? I think that's what I'll really have to look at to keep myself motivated.

    I have a photo project that I'm working on. I'm taking a photo of myself every month to document my weight loss. The first month I tried this, I didn't feel like I'd lost that much. But when I compared the photos side by side, I was amazed. I'm gonna be doing another one in a few days. I can definitely see and feel a lot of differences, so I'm really excited for that. Like I said, though, I think I'm gonna have to really keep reminding myself of the work I've done and the progress I've made long term, rather than just in the past week or past couple of days.

    I'm still trying to find the exercise that will grab me. Had a disastrous Boot Camp experience with a bunch of youngin's! Started Zumba and walking buddy once a week. I cut out alcohol about 2 weeks ago as a quick solution to reduce calories. Thought that would make a bigger difference on the scale. Need to keep up w tracking to strategize. Probably it will be to reduce fruit and add more fish.
    Thanks again for this thread. My goal for Sept1st: 140 lbs

Although I only have a net weight loss of 2.9lbs, I am much more happier and gained some of my confidence back. I have also lost inches! Going strong for August!
