How did you manage to lose 7.5 lbs in a week? Any tips?
Your guess is as good as mine! It just may be that week in my (menstrual) cycle where I'm not retaining as much water as I normally do. For the first time, I really focused on drinking 1/2 my weight in water - totally had to force myself to eat some days; I guess they're really on to something when they say most times we confuse dehydration for hunger! I also hit my protein goal several days. I also followed my current walking schedule - every other day. I don't even have a time or distance goal, I just get up & do it.
I know every week won't be like this (I'm really just getting started . . . again), but I'm enjoying this week's win!
A little apprehensive about tomorrow, hubby & I are going to have a French dinner with Champagne and the works! I plan to try to get four miles in walking at the beach to try to deal with some of what I intend to consume! Wish me luck!
Yay me!!!3 -

I had a slight gain this week, but down 4 lbs for the month. 9 more days to go. I hope I can reach 183-184.2 -
I've never joined a challenge before, but I'm looking for some motivation!
My July goal is to weigh 155 or less at the end of the month.
July 1: 159
July 8: 160 over-indulgence on the holiday and insufficient exercise.
July 15: 157.8
July 22: 159.0

Back where I started, but I'm not discouraged. It's a simple thing, really: No exercise, no progress. So I gotta get up and move.

I had to temporarily halt my exercise program due to my extreme allergic reaction, but hope to be able to start again today after I get an "all clear" from the clinic. Loving our new dog and the energy he brings to the mix. He is definitely keeping us hopping.0 -

Absolutely excited about the loss this week!
Though losing 9 lbs in the next 5 weeks to reach my goal of 121 I really don't think it's going to happen, plus I'm away on holiday the first week of August (Yay!) but I'm determined! Reaching goal a month or so later is totally acceptable to me!
