    Biggest roadblock: Is actually eating.....I can go half the day just drinking a cup of coffee and than at night have something I cook for my kids. These past 5 days have been the most consistent I have been with eating on a regular basis through the whole day and I'vebeen drinking LOTS of water which iI never did before.

    I was on vacation this week, so a slight gain =/ I'm glad it's not higher, but I'm frustrated I let myself slide. Hopefully I can get back to losing for next week's weigh in.

    Just for fun: What is your biggest roadblock to losing weight? Well, this month it will be our 10 day vacation at the lake cabin. I'm taking that week off from my "diet". I plan, of course, to eat as well as possible, but will not be logging calories or cooking any separate meals from the rest of the group, so I'll be eating a lot of big breakfasts (pancakes, french toast, etc.), sandwiches (the bread! the coldcuts!), and hearty dinners (mmmmmm, fresh caught pan-fried walleye!)... so it'll be an interesting month. If not for that vacation, my goal weight would be lower for this month.

    I'm so happy; this has actually been my first time losing. I only walked a mile once this week and the rest has been do to eating and since it was the TOM last week I didn't think anything would happen; thank god it did.

    I'm pretty late joining this month - I couldn't find the thread and was beginning to get quite anxious LOL.

    I was worried about going on holiday. I was concerned that I might be a bit OC.
    I tracked, I ate what I wanted and had drinks with friends and was pretty chilled. The only think that upset me was tracking after midnight one day and my tracker reset - devastated.

    Starting Date 08/01/13
    Ending Date 08/31/13

    Height: 5' 5 1/2 "

    Starting Weight: 184 lbs (29-01-13)
    Current Weight: 7/27: 146.4 lbs
    Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Goal Weight for August 144 lbs

    Weigh In Days: Saturday
    8/3: I was on holiday so I don't know - looks like I gained 1.8 lbs though

    Feb: 8.5 lbs; Mar: 7.5 lbs; Apr: 8 lbs; May: 5 lbs; June: 5.6 lbs; July: 3.8 lbs
    Aug:

    My biggest Road Block: What I consider to be my 'treats'. I don't always earn them before I eat them!!! This means I'm sometimes pretty close to my intake limit some days.
