    Still off the scale. Pants are sufficiently remaining loose.
    Been maintaining 80-100 oz of water/liquids daily.
    staying on plan. Have had a little unexpected "slide" in my numbers, but still functional. Just fighting cravings and such now. I'm disappointed in myself how treats went from being occasional to "after every meal" again. :(
    No progress pics.
    No additional mental health time, though technically already met my "2" goal...

    Having to focus on pushing through a major financial thing this week, and it's one of those I keep trying not to hope because it is so ... impossible, daring to believe, so my procrastination has kicked in hugely...and I have to do this now or I'll end up so much worse off that before.... Just distasteful tasks. Time consuming ones. Emotionally wrought ones... *sigh*

    113 degrees??? I can't even imagine!!! How long does that kind of heat last, Nancy?

    We're in our own warm spell at 80!

    Last night after posting about sliding out of the challenge, I logged my food and did my maintenance activity anyway, LOL. So even if I WANT to be a slacker, force of habit won't let me. So yes, Nancy, I totally get that not EATING after 6 p.m. has become the new normal.

    Better habits, 10 days at a time!

    Xxoo

    Karen, we just hit the 'hot' season! It was just warming up!! It will continue to climb and then in a few weeks, the humidity will probably kick in and it can be suffocating!! Mid July thru August is a killer here!!

    I too am staying off the scale Carly. I wanted to hold out til end of July! Karen, are you staying off that scale too???

    My food plan is OK. Just trying NOT to eat any bread!! That is my downfall!! So far so good!

    Yes, I'm off the scale too.

    Doing okay today, but the junk food in my house is out of control again. Tonight will be a big cleanout!!!

    Hey everyone!! Everything is going here. I packed for vacation yesterday, was supposed to see Reggie, but his mom volunteered him to help his cousin. I'm NOT dating mom, but she keeps interferring. UGH. I'm just trying to maintain and watch the bread, pasta, rice.. and I've been watching it. I can't wait for vacation to get here... feels like I'm in a free for all eating pattern...

    Hello all,

    I had quite a lovely weekend. I was able to play a lot of tennis which always makes me happy. On the 4th my group was able to sing the national anthem at a rodeo. It ended up being a lot bigger than I thought, but it was fun. I was even able to do a good job with my food choices. Today has also been off to a solid start. No fast food and I have a plan for dinner.

    Progress Pics of sort... not the ones I intended to take, but I realize the others didn't have a side view, so without further adieu ...

    The pictures on the left are from 5/6/14. Pictures on the right are from 7/6/15. From 258.2 to 244.2 (as of 6/18). So 14 months, 14 pounds...ironically. I tried to resize as best I could. Anyone else find this crazy? I was not low carb the first 9 months, but the last 5 months, I've been low carb....
