    @lady_bug_jd You are CRUSHING IT and well on your way to reaching your goal this month. Well Done!

    @deepwoodslady, aw, thanks for your message! I just saw it.

    I’ve been yo-yoing for a long time. I’m allowing myself higher calories (usually go down to 1200-1300) and hoping it will be more sustainable this time.

    Approaching the very end of my TOM, and I feel like my cravings have calmed down tremendously, although I've noticed my salt intake has increased, and for someone like myself who has edema issues, that it's not good! So, I'm trying to catch up on my water intake to flush out this excess salt, along with the hormonal water weight. Ultimately, I've decided to put off my next weigh-in until next week, which is plenty of time to rid of any excess "junk". My workouts have been minimal only because physically I just wasn't up for it, however, I'll be kicking it up a notch this weekend, possibly going for a 3 to 3.5 hr hike! whew! I'm ready for it!

    Next weigh-in: 8/29th

    I will be weighing daily, it keeps me accountable and motivated and shows trends
    Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
    August goal is 155 (Same as July goal)
    Ultimate goal is 115

    August 01 - 160.0
    August 02 - 160.7
    August 03 - 159.6
    August 04 - 160.1
    August 05 - 161.1 - Not sure why I am up today, just going to stay the course and hope to see it come back down.
    August 06 - 161.9 - Maybe it is just too early in the morning. I have been on track and getting in good workouts. Don't like to gain of course. I am going away soon, so had hoped to have a bit of a cushion.
    August 07 - 159.8
    August 08 - 159.3 - My last weigh-in until I get back from my short holiday. I will still be tracking, but won't have my scale.
    August 12 - 162.0 - I think that it will get higher still before I can get it back down. Festival food! I will get back on track for sure.
    August 13 - 162.2 - So hopefully that is the last of the festival food showing up on my slow metabolism. Now to salvage the month.
    August 14 - 160.4 - Burned more calories than I ate yesterday, I had 1500 calories left over according to MFP.
    August 15 - 158.0 - Yay!
    August 16 - 158.5 - Maybe I can get in more calorie burning today than I did yesterday (only managed to burn off 262 cal). It seems that I need to burn at least 500 each day to see any kind of results. I rely on Zumba-esque type workouts to get the most burn for the time. Tomorrow is the multi-cultural festival in my town, so I hope to wake up to a good number before sampling the delicious international fare.
    August 17 - 157.5 - I consumed 1700 calories yesterday! I did burn 600 calories through exercise, but I am pretty sure that I will show a gain once my slow metabolism catches up. I really need to eat 1200 calories or less and burn a minimum of 500 calories in order to lose any weight.
    August 18 - 158.7 - It was very late by the time I got a chance to eat last night. Nevertheless, I am happy to be under 160. Only 12 days left to hit that magical 155, but I have been striving for it for 2 months. It might take me 3 months to lose 5 pounds, but I am determined.
    August 19 - 157.4 - I expect this to go up, but had a beautiful calorie laden dinner with Champagne last night, and late. (35% whipping cream sauce, high calorie peanut sauce noodles etc.) The leftovers will need to be eaten in very tiny amounts.
    August 20 - 157.8
    August 21 - 159.0
    August 22 - 160.6 - Hopefully just a blip, really expected to be less today. Staying the course.
