    Do not give up. You know, I know and this great community knows that you will push through this slump. Just remind yourself why you doing this in the first place. Don't talk/ think negative about yourself. That's how the devils win. Just keep going.
    YOU CAN DO IT.

    Track: Yes. Everything
    Calories: Under.
    Exercise: Yes! Went to the gym for the first time.
    Water: 2 liters

    Comments: Did really well today in terms of eating. I went to the gym for the first time in a while with my brother. All went well I just didn't know what to do in terms of weight-lifting after I finished cardio lol I just did what my brother was doing. So I think I need to make a routine? But I don't know how. For those of you who do go to the gym, how did you decide which machines to use? How did you make your routine?

    July is not starting off well for me...too much time at home means too much time grazing the fridge. Although I haven't gone wild I'm still losing the mojo I had in June. Need to get back on the road for work so I can be more rigid in my habits. Only away 2 days this week.

    @colinmcp I had the same problem, I work from home so the kitchen is just down the hall, all the time. I snack on things like celery sticks, pickles and homemade snow cones (ice in the blender with mio) low cal, low carb options that make me feel like I'm eating, but they're still ok in moderation.

    Day 1 of summer vacation for my kids. So. Also day 1 of no gym membership. It ended up being too expensive for myself and the kids ($75 bi weekly ouch). I’m truly bummed as I should be doing my weight lifting class today. My biggest fear is losing the definition in my muscles that I’ve gained. So. Here’s hoping my at home workouts will keep me fit-ish. Thank goodness for YouTube. Off to the park.

    Weigh in week: July Week 1
    Weigh in day: Tuesday
    Previous Week's Weight: 265.5
    Today's Weight: 268.5

    How quickly the weight bounces back up when you feel better. I have to max my calories at 1400 per the doctor, starting next week until my surgery on the 23rd. I'm having a gastric bypass at the end of the month, so I'm guessing I'll have to bow out as a competitor for a year. Hopefully I can still be a member of the team just so I can rejoin when I return to a normal type of weight loss/maintenance and root the rest of you on in the meantime.

    Monday (I do these in the morning, so my info is for yesterday)
    Track: No
    Calories: No
    Exercise: No

    track - yes
    calories - yes, under with room for an evening snack
    exercise - lifting and arctrainer - I don't normally use the cardio machines, but had to figure out something that would work with my schedule and the crazy heat index. Even in the gym it was hot and sticky!

    I love this. 100% true.

    You can definitely still make that work! There's this nurse that works with me who is 50-something years old and she has a nicer body than I do and she was talking to her coworkers about the fact that all she ever does are at home workouts from youtube! Don't let the gym membership discourage you. Just stay determined! :)

    You can do it! You were exceptional last month. I was consistently inspired by your level of discipline. That was only a few days ago! You're the same guy! Don't let a few days discourage you. :)

    Track: Yes. Everything
    Calories: Under.
    Exercise: Not yet. I'm so sore from yesterday but will still get my cardio in.
    Water: 1.5 liters so far. Will drink another liter before the end of the day.

    Comments: 194.2 on the scale this morning. I was 196 the day before! Yikes! I really want to get out of this bad cycle I've been in (of barely touching 190 and then not allowing myself to get into the 180s) so I'm really trying to stay focused this month.

    Thanks...yeah...just get out of sorts when I'm not working. I never went over 2000 calories so I'd still be losing...just not able to stick to my 1500.

    Wed and Thurs I'm living out of a suitcase and it'll be easy to stick to my plan hopefully getting me back on track.

    Well after a crazy month of June, I feel like my life is starting to get back to normal. My husband had a heart attack about two and a half weeks ago. He is doing much better and life is returning to normal! Normal July for me is being on summer vacation and heading to the pool a ton!!!

    Track yes
    Calories under
    Exercise two hours in the pool
    Water about 90 oz.
