Considering I was staying in hotels and eating out for 4 days in a row I don't think this is too bad of a gain. I'm hopeful that at least some is water weight and will resolve in a week or two.2 -

CW 6/21/18 - 197.6
GW 9/21/18 - 184.6
UGW April 2019: 155ish
Total lost this challenge: 13.8 lbs
Total lost to date: 28.8 lbs as of 9/21
6/21 - 197.6
6/28 - 196.4 - I had a good week - Celebrated anniversary last weekend at a food truck - ate a lot and practiced logging it and moving on - positive growth - got right back to it for the week and seeing a slow downward trend. TOM imminent.
7/5 - 197.6 - 2 Birthdays, the holiday, and my period. (forgot to check in here last week but I track daily weights so I was able to refer back to my notes)
7/11 - 193.0 - Finally! A whoosh! I was 195.2 yesterday after not getting below 196 for almost two weeks! Back on the right track
7/19 - 194.0 - Libra app still shows a general downward trend at rate of 1 lb/week. But my data points have been above the trend line a few more times than I prefer to see so I know I need to tighten up the eating and logging
7/26 - 192.0 - 20.6 lbs lost to date - this week was a good one with consistent lossess
8/2 - 192.0 - TOM imminent so ive been hovering around this weight. Food and moving have been good, and meds taking improved!
8/9 - 190.4 - No TOM yet, hormones are so fun! Moving in the right direction still though!
8/16 - 187.0 - STILL NO TOM. UGH. No, I'm not pregnant. Closed on the house so hoping it shows up now that some stress has subsided. Big drop this morning because I didnt eat too much yesterday, too hot. Oh but I just noticed I've lost 10 lbs since starting this challenge so thats fun! Getting close to 30 lbs lost.
8/24 - 185.5 - TOM arrived! And whoosh! Doing well with lots of physical activity as we continue to move!
8/30 - 185.0 - Hovering this week. Very little routine still so its a bit of a struggle but I'll get there!
9/7 - 182.5 - Whoosh! Short term goal #2 achieved! 30 Lbs lost!!! Way ahead of schedule this point but I suspect things will start evening out a bit as the physical move is over and routine returns to more normal. At this rate I've been losing at 1.5 lbs/week since April - excpecting to slow down to 1 lb/week to keep it more sustainable.
9/14 - 183.5 - Hovering this week and feeling a little burnt out for the first time in this 6 month journey. Taking the weekend to do a little reset.
9/21 - 183.8 - WOOOHOOO! Yes. I'm Woohoo'ing a "gain" - I was up to 188 at the beginning of the week after a binge weekend. Moving on from that and moving forward in the direction of my dreams again! I still achieved my goal. I'm proud of myself for getting back on track. And I'm determined to keep going! 13.8 lbs down this challenge - 28.8 lbs down since April.3 -

End of Challenge Results: Hit my goal exactly! I lost 22.2 lbs during this challenge. Lots of hard effort and dedication to hit this, but I'm happy with the lifestyle I am living. This is sustainable for my future. When I started this journey on June 18th, my weight loss goals were in 3 phases... 1) Have a normal BMI, 2) Reach my initial goal weight of 139, 3) Maintain my ultimate goal weight 124-129. So phase 1 is complete, working on phase 2 now! Congratulation to everyone in this challenge, whether you made your goal or not, we are all a work in progress 1 -
