GW (by January 31): 180

Weigh in:
1/1 193
1/8 188.6 (down 4.4)
1/15 187 (down 6 since 1/1)
1/22 185.2 (down 7.8 since 1/1)
1/31

Since I did this in 2011 and then gained it back (started drinking Mountain Dew again), I was hoping the weight would come off a bit quicker initially like it did in 2011 (water weight). Been a little slower going this time, but I took measurements on day one and a picture for comparison.

As of today I've lost 9.5 inches already with 5 of those coming off my waist and breasts. Therefore I'm happy even if I don't meet my mini-goal of 180 by the end of the month. (I set a high goal for the first month knowing it would be mostly water, after January hoping for more like 5 pounds a month. If it's slower than that, so be it. Took more time than that to gain it, will take time to lose it too.)

Totally bummed about this week. But TOM decided to show up so I know that is why I am up in addition to the sodium this week has been out of control. Plan for this week, keep tracking, keep moving and watch the sodium closely. And drink lots of water to combat the previous sodium.

Have a good one all
