    8/2: I'm in. Been struggling all summer with not losing anything plus a sprained ankle kept me off my feet for 3 weeks.
    8/9: I'm 110% positive this is a false number. I have maintained my calorie goal and had some good workouts this week. I saw progress at the beginning of the week, then TOM came and wrecked shop on my progress. Hoping for a better showing next week, but still disappointed in this week.
    8/16: I really don't understand what is going on here. I even went up 3 lbs at some points this week. Confused but still trying.
    8/23: HAPPY! Finally! I also feel better. I think my body is not confused anymore! Won't make 5 lbs this month, but I made some progress!

    I'm with you, but keep pushing! At some point it's gotta go somewhere!
    Thinking I probably won't make the 5 pounds weight loss goal for the month but losing so I'm pretty happy with that. Ready for the last week of the month!! :)

    It's slow coming but a loss is a loss so I'll take it. :)
