Weight lost/gained this month: - 7.1 / 3.2 kg

Successes/struggles this week: lost a bit overall and that is good. Maybe I can reach my goal but even if not I got very close - happy me! I did regular exercise but I had a bit of a rough weekend when it comes to food drink and sleep (=lack of). lots of fun though but I am very tired and that makes me vulnerable in terms of wise choices today. No gym tonight as I just want to go to bed. Will try to fit some in tomorrow. Before the weekend I was really good when it comes to calorie deficit, burned calories... but did not lose much, even had a gain in between and that left me a bit frustrated. I can feel the first excitement slowing down and that's a dangerous thing. I hope to feel more energized after a good night's sleep and carry on. Really hope there will be a July follow up on this as I weigh myself daily and here the overall tendency is clearer to see.
Yesterday I was down to 83.1 and I kept my calories and went to the gym so I was hoping to reach my goal. well, didn't happen but still 3 kg gone, hopefully for good!

Trying to find my last post on here - tried the search - how can I find it without having to scroll through all the post

Copied and updated!!!
Oh I'm so excited to find this thread!! I've been heavy for years and like everyone else have tried everything and had some success but it always came right back. I've realized that it has to be a lifestyle change and choice- so with MFP Diary and adding exercise I'm going to do just that!!

I need friends to add me and encourage me and I will do the same in return-

"We can do anything we want to do, if we want to bad enough---- and if we don't want to, we just make an excuse!!" No more excuses for me--- I'm in this 100% !!!! Who is with me!!!!??????!!!!!

Successes/Struggles this week:
Successes - I didn't put on which is good but I was a little disappointed that I didn't lose in the week between 22nd and 29th either. I've been so good with my eating, recording everything and getting some exercise in. But I won't give up!
Struggles - Again, it's hard to get active on my work days. I sit in front of a computer for 12 hours which is never good for anyone but I try to get up and walk around or stand up at my desk every half hour or so.

I'm in for the July episode!
