    What would I have done differently? waited to have a treat after dinner till I could enjoy it
    What is today's personal goals? get exercise and check in at MFP

    Sorry I have been missing on here. I started a new job (only for 2 weeks) and am not finished with my current one which is ending Monday. So I also need to look for more summer employment on top of that. I didn't put down my daily plan for exercise. I have to switch from morning exercise routine to an afternoon one since I now work mornings. Since I went to 2 aquafit classes that leaves a hole. Maybe I will run more or start weight training.

    GW at the end of the Summer 2013 check in? lose what I have gained recently

    Any suggesions? Only lost .2 in 4 days. Didn't really do anything different from when I started this 18 days ago where I lost 7.5 in 15 days. I was hoping if I continued doing the same I'd keep on the consistent pace of 2 lbs per week.




    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes! Again stayed within all categories tracked!
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Drank more but still on 8. Only about 4.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Exercised
    What would I have done differently? Special ordered my taco salad to not serve it with shell and sour cream! I could have taken off but didn't!
    What is today's personal goals? MORE WATER! Stay with nutrition goals.

    Slow and steady wins the race. You are doing great!! Don't get discouraged and whatever you do don't stop doing what you are doing. The first few pounds was probably water weight... keep going!

    I just peeked at your diary. It could be too few calories and some high sodium days slowing it down.

    Eating too few calories can put your body in starvation mode and prevent weight loss. Try staying at or above 1200.
