    SW: 218lbs (since the start of my weight loss pre MFP)
    SW: 203lbs (since starting MFP)
    CW: 198.25lbs

    4th July: 204 lbs

    25th July: 199.75 lbs
    1st August: 198.25lbs
    8th August: 199.25lbs

    Gained 1lb last week, but looking back over my food diary I ate a LOT of pasta and we had takeaway curry and ice cream, so kinda makes sense. Don't think I was accurately counting calories. Not too dissapointed because this is a life change, not a quick fix and needs to be sustainable.

    The TDEE - 20% rule seems to be a lot of calories for me to eat each day and frightens me, so I lowered it to 1600 - but even still I am scared when I go above 1500. Might recalculate it and see what it comes out with.

    No loss, but considering I ate out almost every day and didn't have a lot of time (or energy) to exercise this week, I'm just glad I didn't gain!

    No movement on the scale this week, which isn't surprising. I've had a couple of dodgy, non-logged food days and menstrual-related lethargy that led to less exercising and probably some water weight as well.

    I end August with a gain of .2 lb. Starting September with motivation. This happened another week when I had high milage, maybe it's not the calorie load, but the type of exercise. I will try to add in formal exercise (intervals) 2-4 times a week again. Also having trouble with my fitbit and MFP syncing. I think it wants me to consume too much, but when I lower it not enough is added for my BMR (what was working last week and before). This time I am just going to shoot for 1900 everyday and NEVER go over. Hope to break the plateau next week! Here I come September 1st!!!!

    Things have kind of stalled for me since mid-August. We've had lots of evenings out and now we've got out-of-town guests and a small road trip this weekend. It's going to be hard to keep my food in check, but I'll try. If I don't gain anything, I'll consider it a victory.

    After Labor Day, I should be able to get back on track.

    Aunt Flo added about 4lbs last week, so while I'm up 1lb from my last official weigh-in, I'm choosing to be positive. :)

    Moved my weigh in day to the weekend. Had a loss of .4lb which does make me a bit happy. I've been working out more, but losing less and it's frustrating. I might stop working out (I know bad), but I mean it kept me losing... I'll do this next week and see what happens. Then I will readjust to something else.

    Can't keep my stuff together this week. Over all week long. Getting it together next week, for real. Had a 1.8 gain. Missed several workouts and missed challenges. Readjusted my calorie goals with MFP and Fitbit. Got my 3 workouts. Getting back on the wagon and not going over. rant done.

    My weight's been a little up and down this week, I think from monthly water retention (fun!).

    Goal: 145

    I was on track all week with my diet until I went to the Festival this weekend. Boy was it so good, but I paid the price ultimately... Not disappointed though b/c I still lost weight AND I hit my goal of working out 4 days last week. My goal this week is to loose 2 pounds to hit my 5 pound mini goal. Will focus on bringing my lunch to work each day to avoid binge eating.

    Oops, the scale went the wrong way this week. Unfortunately, my schedule this past week hasn't been conducive to meal planning and exercise. Hope to have more success in the coming week.
