    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    June 30 starting weight - 148.2 (ten-day rolling average weight 145.5)
    July goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).

    June 30 - 148.2 (145.5)
    July 7 - 148.0 (147.9)
    July 14 - 146.4 (147.7) -- interpolated from July 11 and July 16 weight.
    July 21 - 145.2 (146.0)
    July 28 - 145.2 (145.1)
    July 31 - 145.4 (145.6)

    Total loss for July: From a synoptic view, my scale weight looks like it's 2.8 pounds. From an average weight, I'm up an insignificant amount. I wonder if this might be a good maintenance weight after all. It's my revised target, and I'm hitting it more easily than my older target that was such a small amount less weight. I'll just keep paying attention and revise my goals with experience. It's a work in progress -- a lifelong commitment. Ugh. And... Yes! If the data are correct, I am slowly making back up for some celebrations in late June and July.

    Down to my last 5 pounds, so hoping to lose 2-3 in August.

    Original starting weight - 199 (June 2018)
    July starting weight - 134.5
    July goal - <=132
    Ultimate goal - 128

    1st - 134
    5th - 133.5 (did OK over July 4th!)
    7th- 133.5 (holding)
    11th - 132
    14th - 132.5 (chocolate cake has been on the menu...so not bad :) )
    19th - blipped up earlier in the week, but back down!
    21st - 130.5 New low today! :):)
    26th - 132
    28th - 131.5 Out to dinner last night, so happy to be here!
    31st - 133 Although today's number is high, fairly confident in being 132 in a few days and heading lower. One of the troubles with setting up for .5 pound loss per week is the daily fluctuations can mask the loss!


    End July loss: 1.5 pound

    8/1 Woohoo! Just realized my July start weight was 134.5, so actually lost 1.5 pounds. Plus I am at 132 today...which was the July goal!

    OMG!! I can still say that I owe it to watching how much I eat, doing cardio a lot this month, increasing my water intake and sleeping a little more. Oddly, I got 6 hours of sleep on Sunday evening even after I could not sleep from 3am to 5am.

    Now, I can be totally over the moon for the month of July!!! The Korean BBQ on Sunday afternoon was delicious and I was happy that I did not eat until I was overly-full. *drool* The weight loss over the weekend was unexpected. I did attempt to watch how much I ate and we did walk outside in this heat on Sat and Sun for at least 30 mins.

    From Previous Post:
    Our local gym is having a cardio challenge so we are trying to go to the gym everyday in July.
    My cardio consists of body-weight exercises, bike and elliptical.
    We changed our workout time from 9pm to 5:30am. I'm curious as to how this will reflect on my weight. At the same time, I'm working on getting 7 hrs of sleep by going to bed at 9pm. So far, I've been able to be asleep by 10pm so it's a work in progress.
    Cardio Days Completed: 23 out of 31

    The Keto diet is like a marriage--it doesn't work if you cheat! Boy am I learning that the hard way! I haven't gained too much but every since the first week of July when I cheated/splurged for a few days, I haven't been able to get back to my lowest weight! I kind of regret it now. I was hoping to get back to my goal but my body is stuck at a plateau! So frustrating. I even completed a 7 miles hike! Oh well, onto the next month!

    7/1: 179.8
    Ups and downs....worked hard.
    7/31: 183.4
