Week 8 (9/4):
I can't believe that I just typed that number, 166.2. That's the lowest I've been since I gave birth to my son over 10 months ago. I stuck with counting calories and I ate a small dinner a few hours before bed. I also didn't do any hardcore workouts. I just walked my dogs and cleaned and stayed busy on my feet. I find that when I work out hard, I'm so hungry and I end up eating it all back and I don't see the scale move. So I think I'm going to focus mostly on my diet and start to get into the more intense exercising once I get to my goal weight or really close to it.

And just now I had the realization that the capri pants I'm wearing right now were tight on me a couple months ago when I bought them. Now they fit my hips fine and are lose in the thighs. Yay for a non-scale victory! I'm feeling much better now.
Keep going everyone! Have a great weekend!
PS @MissMeaganLyn Congrats on getting into the 160s! Well done!
Thank you! Congrats on your loss! It's so exciting to see the scale go down. It's a real motivator.

While I'm happy to be down again this week, I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I'm not getting anywhere. My weight is on a seesaw instead of on a slide. I'm overdoing late night snacking. I didn't exercise at all three days this week because my ankle has been hurting from overuse last week. I missed two training days for C25K. *Sigh* Okay. I'm going to stop complaining now and get back to reminding myself that I'm the lightest I've ever been and in general I'm doing alright. I may not hit my goal for this challenge, but if I've made progress, it's still progress.MissMeaganLyn wrote: »Starting weight (7/10): 172

Wait loss again. Really happy to report that. I think I'm going to do low intensity cardio and lift weights to keep muscle mass and safe the intense stuff for one I get to my weight loss goal. I find that when I go running I am so hungry and I tend to make unhealthy choices as far as food goes and I eat a little more than I should. I hope you guys are having a great summer and keep up the good work!!!0 -

Well I'm shocked I had any weight loss since I didn't make very good choices and there were a few days there where I ate a couple of things and never counted them.
I hope you guys have great weigh ins and are motivated to stick with it regardless of the number!0 -

Had friends in from out of town so there was a lot of eating out, plus I attended my local State Fair and indulged in a lot of fried foods. The State Fair on happens once a year so I don't feel *horrible* about indulging, but my weight paid the price.0 -

Well, I hit 159 on Friday, and that was pretty exciting.
I think my overall trend is going down, if ever so slowly. I've been weighing everyday with another app, and it calculates trends.
I hit a personal record for distance on my bike on Friday! 30 miles!!! And that was on top of a barre/stretch class and a 4 mile run/walk.
... So I think overall I'm happy with this week's progress. 
This week's goals: no snacking after dinner, roasted veggies for snacks instead of overdoing dried fruit and nuts, and more sleep!0 -

Didn't reach my goal. Basically maintained for this challenge. I always struggle in the summer. I find there is so many more temptations to indulge. Between BBQ, ice cream, fairs, and just general lack of cooking due to summer heat I am glad that I manage to maintain. I have managed to get my eating on track the last week of this challenge. Hopefully going into September I can keep my eating on track and add in more exercise as the temperatures are less obnoxious!

I weighed in today instead of Sunday because I'll be out of town (and I like today's number!). I've been meeting my goals this week (finally!!!) and it's paying off!
This weekend I want to be a little lax with my diet, but I have to keep it strict or I'll go right back up again! Thanks everyone for the accountability and encouragement!
