    8/16 Sat: 197.8 Sooo surprised that the scale moved this week, but super happy about it!
    8/23 Sat: 196.4 Yayyyyyy! Boyfriend and I didn't have one of our pig-out weekends this week and it paid off!
    8/30 Sat: 196.2
    End of Month (8/31 Sun): 196.2 Kind of disappointed with myself to be honest. I got lazy this week, ate too much and exercised too little. I was chugging along pretty well this month and was close to hitting my goal, so I wish I could've had a little more discipline this week. Nothing I can do about it now though, so on to September!

    It would happen that my TOM would happen at the end of the month... :( I was doing really well until then. So I didn't meet my goal. Maybe next month. That elusive 155 has not happened for 3 months now though.

    I've noticed lately I seem to be eating and exercising to maintain, but not to lose. So it's time to get it back in gear on the losing end. I'm definitely not where I need to be yet so this is not time to get comfortable!
