    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.

    GW: 153.8 lbs

    Weigh in Dates:
    Start of month (4/01 Tuesday) - 158 lbs
    4/05 - 159 lbs
    4/12 - 157.8 lbs
    4/19 - 156.8 lbs
    4/26 - 157 lbs
    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.
