I will be weighing daily, it keeps me accountable and motivated and shows trends
Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
July goal (since I hit 160 3 times in June) is 155
Ultimate goal 115
July 01 - 163.1 - Still up from eating ribs in June, I will have to lay off those for at least a few months
July 02 - 165.6 - !!! that is more than I was at the beginning of June. Hopefully just a blip.
July 03 - 162.0
July 04 - 160.8
July 05 - 162.5 - oh well, 25 more days to hopefully get out of the 160s
July 06 - 162.5
July 07 - 162.2
July 08 - 163.5 - Not sure why or how, but I will stay the course. I have been "good", and I don't feel heavier : - )
July 09 - 163.2 - Hoping for a woosh this week, staying determined.
July 10 - 161.0 - I actually was 162.0 at 5am, but went back to bed and lost a pound lol. Not sure which one is right, I usually weigh very early in the morning, but I will take it for now. Seeing the scale move down keeps me motivated.
July 11 - 160.9 - Flirting with that number again, hit it in May and June, expected to get into the 150s back in April. Really trying hard.
July 12 - 161.7
July 13 - 162.5 - Really feeling leaner for the most part this month, but have had quite a bit of stomach bloating over the last few weeks, with nothing but water so I am not really sure what to attribute it to. One glass of water to start the morning and I can blow up like a beach ball, and it is not soft. I have been drinking more than one glass of water starting in February, I get in 2 litres minimum a day now - although I still do not like water at all. I definitely do not like the bloating. Our bodies are made of salt and water, so it doesn't really make sense.

Hello, I'm Claire, 49, 5 foot 10 and female. Very late to the challenge but just off the scales and at my heaviest. I'm 50 in a month and my goal is to lose 50 pounds in 50 weeks. I'm just back from a fabulous holiday with lots of over eating. I hope to lose something this month to get me started.

Saturday was a mess but I tried to recover yesterday by watching what I ate and it worked!
I traded out a granola bar instead of ice cream or chips as my after dinner snack last night. I don't need an after dinner snack in the first well, but oh well. I'm going to keep aiming for my 3 lb loss this month.
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.

@Piqueaboo
Yes, you would think that we would know our levels without tracking all of the time, but tracking is key.
You have done so well, keep with the program to protect all of your hard work.2 -

Back again for another month. I have 2 months left before I turn 40 (aaaggghhh) years old. This month I have officially been on here a year and thought I would have met my goal and crushed it already, lol. I'm close, but have not hit it yet. I have also changed it and lowered it a couple of times so that may be the reason too. Good luck everyone! Let's make July a good one!

I'm down just about 7 lb since the beginning of July. Started actually around 155 lb and now down to 147.4

Today, I got the confidence to wear a polo instead of a button-down shirt at work. I finally feel like my tummy isn't super out there.
OMG! I lost 3 lbs for the month!!! I'm trying not to be too excited because the month is not over yet. I can say that I owe it to watching how much I eat, doing cardio a lot this month, increasing my water intake - yesterday, I had 8 cups (it's been years since I have done this) - and sleeping a little more. I did get 8 hours last night which always helps when I weigh in.
The tough part is going to be keeping it up this weekend especially when we are planning on having Korean BBQ tomorrow afternoon. *drool*
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.
