    Wow, this is the 1st month I've blown it and didn't make my goal. Stress really does a number on you. Hopefully next month will be better since my sister is home from the hospital. She still needs home care though.

    Yes, that 7.8 lb. drop from 4/5-11 is real. I weighed myself 6 times on two scales. I'm not sure how I did it because I met my calorie goal of 1600/day, which works out to 7000 deficit or 2 lbs a week.

    End of Month (4/30 Wednesday) - 156.8 lbs

    Total weight lost: 2 lbs

    Not as much as I was hoping, but a loss is a loss. It's getting harder to maintain a 1lb/wk loss as I get closer to goal weight. I will also admit that I am not being as strict as I could be, but I am averaging around a 3000 calorie deficit per week.

    Total weight lost: 2lbs and TOM so I will take my 2 pounds lost!
    Was down to 112 and started lifting more and have gained 6 solid pounds bringing me to 118. I've recently put on another 10 and would like to lose these 10 plus 3 or so more pounds.

    Being accountable and honest that I gained back my progress and had some serious binges for 7 days straight and feel like absolute **** but I will not give up, need to dust myself off and try again. it's only 10 pounds I can do this.

    Hopefully by this Saturday I will be back at 126 and hopefully by the 30th 124 at least. It's possible..

    Lost a total of 2 pounds but with TOM it may have been more but either way it's a start 8 more to go. GOOD JOB EVERYONE! is there a May challenge?? I shall search...
