    SW: 133.2 (August 2)
    CW: 133.6
    GW: 131.2 (loss of 1/2 lb per week)

    August 2: 133.2
    August 8: 132
    August 9: 133
    August 16: 133.4
    August 25: 130.8
    August 30: 133.6
    August 31:

    Ultimate goal weight: 120

    Challenges this month:
    1. Birthday Aug 7
    2. Leaving for a cruise on Sunday Aug 11---cancelled due to husband's illness so never went
    3. Orthopedist banned me from running or walking. Follow up appointment is August 19. Physical therapist recommended walking but Orthopedists nicked that too. So I am trying to get in a few bike rides.-- Got ok to start running but have to take very slowly.


    Frustrations: I see the scale jumping around for no good reason. These last 12 (now 13.6lbs) have been a bear to lose. I am back to where I was 3 months ago, even though I have been on track with diet and exercise with the exception of 3 days in the past 7 months. How does anybody lose the last 15 lbs?
