    HW:148
    SW: 122.6
    June Goal weight: 115-118

    Start of Jan: 148 lbs
    Start of Feb: 139 lbs
    Start of March: 133
    Start of Apr-127.2
    Start of May: 122.6
    28 May-115.0-GOAL
    Start of July-113.4
    July 3-was away being very bad
    July 8-114.4

    Struggles: Was away with the in laws. While I did get in two runs, was otherwise terribly unhealthy. Sigh. It's what I do to cope with my dh family. Couple that with two long flight, I came back to a full 9 lbs of bloat. Totally sucked but I did manage to clamber back on the wagon
    Successes: I got back on the wagon. I was able to bring weight back into check. I also introduced a new workout plan that I am excited about.
    Upcoming week plan: staying on a 1200 cal plan until I am back around 113. Then I can bring it back up to maintenance. Do my 5 miles a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks get back into running plan. Incorporate my a** and abs challenge daily. Glad to be refocusing.

    Yay! The main number on my scales is now an 11! Haven't seen that for a few years! Very pleased with my loss given that on Saturday I went over by about 1000 cals. Good day yesterday, despite the baking I did. I basically saved 300 cals as I knew I'd taste the batter and dip my finger in to the various bits I was making. Leg day at the gym after I'd warned my PT that my wrist had flared up. It was good!

    But: Today is my partner's birthday. This will mean far too much food (Pizza Hut buffet lunch - his guilty pleasure once a year), cake and possibly booze tonight. Shan't be logging. Gotta be good the rest of the week!

    Height: 5'10"
    HW: 183lbs
    SW July: 170.6lbs (last June weigh in)

    July goal: 165lbs
    Body fat goal for July: Sub 27%

    I've been averaging down 0.5lb all this week but after having been as low as 141.8 yesterday I realised I have to work harder to maintain my weight so I ate above maintenance and hence the bounce up. My doctor's appointment has been moved to Monday, something has come up on Friday, so hopefully he'll have some answers for me. Sadly from what I can tell, all of this weight loss has come from my boobs. :lol: Pre-surgery I was 32DD-27-35.5 and now I'm 30D-26-35.

    @rianneonamission I'd just enjoy your partner's birthday for what it is, tasty, but don't overdo it. I generally find that you never eat as much as you think you would at these things anyway. At Christmas. I ate everything and put on a pound (after water weight). I felt I had clearly not tried hard enough. :lol: Congrats on your loss, too! That's great. :smile:

    @bringbackthejoy What is your July weight goal, hon? You seem to be the amazing shrinking woman these days! :smiley:

    @rianneonamission. Yes the 1 lb eventual gain was a victory, but the 9 lbs when I stepped off the plane was a a bit of a horror. I still don't trust the weight loss and am terrified that one day I will wake up and the 35 lb loss will be gone. Such a struggle to get where I am. Just mentally still on shaky ground. Congrats on your planning for the birthday and the loss. Enjoy!
    @glassofroses congrats to you too. Slow and steady wins the race. I feel you on the boob, though I had very little to work with in the beginning, I am now at negative boobage. My July goal is somewhere around 113. I have a two week vacation in Italy in August so I would like to be a little lower than the goal weight to compensate for the fact that I want to be able to try everything while I am there.

    Bless you, I'm glad my journey motivates you. That's really nice to hear :smile:

    @bringbackthejoy Don't be terrified, it sounds like you are in control if you managed drop the 9lbs so quickly! I think this is where we all mentally have to accept that sometimes we over indulge. This is a new you. Be proud of your achievements, and be kind to yourself!

    End of July Goal: 173.5 lbs

    Proud of this check in! My July goal is in sight. I think I can get pretty close. I picked back up on the workouts again this week, and tried very hard to control my portions.

    Over the course of the last 5 years, I've noticed I make the most progress when I weigh myself every morning first thing. For some people they can go once a week, or once every other week, but I like to see the daily fluctuations of my body. I like to post it to this forum twice a week, but weighing in every day has always helped me keep my goals in the back of my mind without ignoring it. :)

    Happy Friday everyone!

    HW:148
    SW: 122.6
    July Goal weight: 113-Underweight I know but I have a trip in August where I will be eating my way through italy. I need a buffer to enjoy that.

    Start of Jan: 148 lbs
    Start of Feb: 139 lbs
    Start of March: 133
    Start of Apr-127.2
    Start of May: 122.6
    28 May-115.0-GOAL
    Start of July-113.4
    July 3-was away being very bad
    July 11-114.4
    July 17-114.8
    Struggles: Still trying to figure out this maintenance thing. Really hard in the summer as I travel a lot, eat out a lot, entertain a lot. While my numbers on the scale are looking stable, I expected to see losses based on what I am attempting to do (eating at a deficit). As this is my reality, I have to figure out how maintain/ recomp while in flux as flux is my normal.
    Successes: I hit the gym 4 days, came up with a new routine, and only exceed my allowed calories 1 day and that was by 100 or so.
    Upcoming week plan: Keep on keeping on. I am at home this week so at least my work outs are "normal" even though we have a lot of plans socially. I just need to keep to the plan I have written. Trust the process.

    Weekly Strength: I had very solid workouts during the work week this week and developed workouts for Abs, Legs, Arms and Butt. Each day I got at least 20 minutes of solid sweat inducing workouts in, and managed to eat relatively healthy. My fiance and I did a TON of walking while we were at the Ren Fest this past weekend, and managed to eat relatively well by bringing our own healthy breakfast and lunches to eat.

    Weekly Struggle: I did end up drinking a little bit more that I had planned on, and I simply couldn't resist getting a hot fudge sundae from the Renaissance Fair on Sunday, even though i had promised myself to resist. I wish I was better at self control in social environments, but it really is a struggle!

    End of July Goal: 173.5 lbs

    Hello everyone, happy Monday!!

    I had a very controlled weekend. I paid lots of attention to what I was eating because I had plans to eat out with people. I didn't snack in between meals and I think ordered the right way. Unfortunately the only workout I squeezed in was climbing intensely on Saturday. Today I'm back at the office gym though! During the week my workouts are very structured. Slowly but surely I'm knocking down those pounds. Not always as quickly as I would like, but hopefully in a way that will allow me to really maintain my weight loss once I achieve my goals.

    @aeshippers thank you so much! :)

    Can you tell me how to calculate the body fat percentage?

    My gym has a body fat thing and it tells me that I have 109 lbs of lean muscle and that leaves me with 32 lbs of fat. I weigh 141 total. 32/141=my body fat

    Or you can use calipers and an online calculator

    Posted this a bit late but as I mentioned last week, I'm going through some major changes right now: Moved last Thursday from Thailand to Spain, came back to my hometown and am still in the initial festive-phase of meetups and catching up with old friends and family members. I also had a wedding over the weekend which lasted 3 days..as you can imagine the food and drinks were constant. So I'm just trying to maintain at my last weigh-in until I develop a new routine here. I did my first workout in a week today, though I've been doing some cardio (walks, bike rides) so as to not let my body forget to move!

    Bad week. Partner's birthday (honestly, three days of cake leftovers followed by a BBQ on Saturday and more cake on Sunday for charity), plus a sore throat and cold meant I did sweet nothing in terms of exercise. But, despite my cold I was back at the gym yesterday with my PT. Great strength session, actually made me feel better.

    As a result of this bad week I highly doubt I will hit my 165lb target. Mind you, I will make a real effort this week (including weekend) and see how I get on. Have started a focusing a bit more on macros, trying to get my protein intake up.
