    End of Month:

    Weight lost this month: 6 lbs
    Total lost overall: 11.6 lbs

    Just for fun: No events right now really. But I am going to try to walk 5 days a week for the first two weeks and then progress onto jogging for part of my daily walks for the last two weeks of May! Right now I hardly have any stamina and become winded easily. It will be challenging to do it but I'm going to try!

    Woot! Feeling good. Already hit my 5 lbs down for this month and exceeded it. Can barely wait to hit the 15 lbs down mark!

    Recording early this week because I had a loss and I know I'm going to forget to write it down Friday. Super busy in May and looking forward to the school year ending June 1st. I know the stress is part of the weight loss but I'm still eating as much as I can so I think I'm doing alright, just so tired recently....

    Weigh-in day!


    SW: (295 at my heaviest)
    CW: (250.5)
    GW: (240)

    Weigh in Dates:
    5/1 = 252.5

    5/16 = 250.5 (-½ pound)
    5/22

    End of Month (or whatever weigh in days you use)

    Not the greatest loss this week since my diet had been questionable and very little running due to a hurt knee, but a ½ a pound is a ½ pound. I'll take it!

    I am out of this.... scale not being very friendly... I am breaking up with it for now and making friends with my tape measure...

    Ha! I came here to say something like this, but you took the words out of my mouth and made them even better! I mean, I've lost over an inch in the past month, but the scale went down 2 lb then back up 2 lb. Forget it. I'm going to weigh in on Sunday then put the scales away for a month and just use my tape measure!
