    I'm glad to see the scale moved that much after this past week, because it has not been a good week for me at all, but I fear that it might have been muscle mass that I lost rather than body fat. However, I have had some pretty crazy work days this week with 5 hours in overtime. We'll see what the scale says next week after I've been good this whole week.

    Good job everyone so far!! Keep up the amazing work!

    Really hoping for 2lb this week, gonna have to dig pretty deep for that!

    Current weight 7/23 = 188

    July 30 - 186 (down 2)

    Aug 6 - 185 (down one more)

    Aug 13 - 184 (another one bites the dust!)

    Aug 20 -

    Funny thing - MFP goal is to lose 1 pound per week and calories are calculated based upon that loss. I eat all my calories everyday and usually eat many of my exercise earned calories ---- so --- not sure why I'm surprised, but I am losing exactly as calculated!! I WANT to lose 2 pounds per week but know I wont restrict my calories that much. So I have to adjust my thinking - it will be a one pound loss per week for the most part : )

    Don't know what's going on here... I weighed 170lb on Friday morning and didn't have a particularly bad weekend food wise. Not one drop of alcohol passed my lips and I even went for a run on Sat morning. OK I didn't drink a lot of water over the weekend and TOM is due on Wednesday... but hey, THIS IS JUST RIDICULUS....

    Ok rant over.... here's hoping there is some miracle for next week...

    yep sounds like bloat. drink a TON of water and electolytes (try to find low cal/low sugar alternatives like nunn or G2).

    Not a good week for me at all. Fell of the bandwagon a bit. However, not too bad considering I went out for dinner three times this week and pretty much completely indulged myself.

    Here's to a better week. Good luck on the last week everyone and amazing job to those that are making progress!!!

    August 6th -- 191.2 lbs
    August 13th -- 190.2 lbs (had two really bad food days this week, glad i still lost a pound! also rolled my ankle on tuesday so no exercise that day)

    I've been working on my couch-to-5k and can now successfully run an 8 minute interval! on my non-running days i do either a tony horton workout dvd or a kettlebell workout. don't think i'll hit the 6 lbs lost goal for the month, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. :)

    Guess I failed this challenge miserably... I'm giving myself a new challenge for Sept... To NOT weigh daily, just once on 1st and once on 30th and see how that goes!

    Today TOM started. Given that I'm showing a weight today tells me that I've probably lost but it's hidden by bloat. This ilittle challenge was just what I needed to regain my focus. Officially 4 lbs down and maybe even a bit more. So happy and super close to my overall GW of 145. Yipeeeeeeee
