    September start weight: 290
    Previous Week's weight: 284.6
    Today's Weight: 281.6

    Honestly not sure how this happened. I had a down week emotionally. Lots of stress, very little sleep every night and no exercise.

    I did stay in a good calorie deficit all week. I did move around the house doing misc. housework.

    I’m thrilled with the loss. It just seems unreal. I weighed myself 15 times before I finally accepted it as truth :).

    Well, I weighed myself this morning, and I am down a pound. Which is awesome, of course, but short lived, I suspect, as we are spending the weekend at my brother-in-law's with four other couples. There will be lots of food and alcohol. Fun....but, oh my!!

    It happened because you were in a deficit all week!!! Exercise is great for many reasons, but not necessary to drop a few pounds!! Take it and run, Mike. Consider it the ray of sunshine in an otherwise dreary week!

    Calories: under. I got stuck at the hospital for 5 hours waiting for my dad to finally get discharged. Let myself get too hungry and ate cheese pizza from the cafeteria. So went over on carbs, but I was under on calories so not going to complain too hard.
    Exercise: yes, more walking.

    Sept 21

    Tracked yes
    Calories yes
    Exercise yes endurance and dance

    My win: I wasn't up to exercising at all yesterday. I feel like it's been the worst week when it comes to feeling up to it, but all week I still managed to push myself and get on it. Not only did i tell myself "just a half hour" but at the end I did a whole hour. I also have been working up to doing a wall sit for 5 min straight and yesterday accomplished 3 min and 30 sec. Lol I'm getting better.

    Sunday nope
    Monday yes
    Tuesday yes
    Wednesday yes
    Thursday yes
    Friday yes

    week: September week 3
    Weigh in day: Saturday
    Last week: 135.5
    This week 133.0

    Not had much time to be online and check in. Beautiful weather here right now so on my way out to finally get some much needed yard work done while it's not 95 degrees. Not done great on food, but not horrible either - still too many sweets but less this week - gotta love hormones - lol!
    Got me a 5 mile walk in this morning and burn a few calories.
    Overall not unhappy with this weeks results.

    Welp, this stinks. Not currently happy that it went in the wrong direction. Although I managed to stay within a decent range of my calories this week, looking back I was definitely eating a much higher percentage of carbohydrates (and calories) than say my first week of Sept & not exercising as much. I think this is a good kick in the butt for me right now though. Its time to get serious and mentally prepare myself for a good week ahead. My next goal weight is 155...I am so close!
