I’m determined to lose these 10lbs!
This challenge is really working for me! But I feel like I’ve gone off track this week. I’m determined to stick to my calories no matter what. I feel super bloated right now and the food has lost its charm. Overeating is not fun. The past two weeks haven’t been good but I hope I make it to the end of the challenge! 😣

Has been a busy month and while I have lost, I have a lot to catch up to make goal by July 4th. Am going to push myself a but am preparing myself mentally that may not complete this mini challenge.
I will still have some work to do after this challenge also. Is anyone going to create a Labor Day challenge for when the July 4th challenge ends?

May 10: 161.8 - not a huge loss, but glad I was able to lose at all. I had a pretty full weekend of calories and it took some extra time to get that weight back down.
May 17: 161.4 - not much loss again, but I've been sick this whole week. Slept most of the time so wasn't as active as normal. Hoping to start next week off healthy.
May 24: 160.8 - slowly but surely... Almost to the 150s!!! That's my goal for next week 😁
May 31: 161.0 - Ok, I can explain. I started TOM this week and Memorial Day Weekend was full of giving in to cravings. I gained about 4 lbs worth of water weight but it reduced quickly. This week WILL be better!

1) I need to taper to maintenance and do not know where my "final" weight will settle.
2) I met my Easter challenge goal of 165 lbs early, went on two weeks of maintenance, and gained a pound. Ugh. (In my defense I had to attend THREE seders AND a big Easter dinner. That was a very ham-and-wine-intensive weekend.)
3) I will be traveling for three weeks in May so, realistically, may not be able to manage my weight as well as I have at home...but I will sure try.
