    1st August:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -1
    Weight lost/gained this month: -1.2

    Successes/struggles this week: I was worried because I was at 118 just yesterday, but I guess the water weight did well to GET OUT AND NEVER COME BACK(it probably will). I've been getting a bit lazy, and I had thought about starting to track during the weekends, but I decided not to. I love food too much, and I think I'll burn out if I do that. I'd rather lose slowly than stop all together because I started hating it.

    Took up running again. I like that :)

    Name: Bethany
    Age: 33
    Height: 5'9.5''

    Start Weight (1st July): 187 lbs
    Goal Weight (1st August): 178 lbs

    1st July: Eek! 187 lbs (Typically average 184, so I wonder about water weight....)
    8th July: 185.6
    15th July: 184.8
    22nd July: 181
    29th July:
    1st August:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -3.8 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: -6 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Success - I have been committing to drinking 80+ oz. of water daily and I FEEL a HUGE difference because of it. I also feel that it's that which helped me drop weight. I have fluctuated a bit due to TOM, but hoping for continued success with added water and diligence.

    Struggles - The weather is starting to calm down and I feel like I have the time to go for runs, but I'm opting not to....to be honest, I think I'm worried about being disappointed in my running stamina. Whatever the case, I had set a goal to run 2 times a week (aiming for mornings on the weekends) and I have not followed through with that.

    Successes/struggles this week: Not surprised I gained +0.5lb this week. I had a carefree weekend and didn't workout much. I'm just happy I didn't gain more! For the rest of the month I will be super strict and get lots of workouts in. I hope to be under 255 by August 1st!

    Weight lost/gained this month: -2.8

    Successes/Struggles this week: Really good week for me! I am seeing that I just need to be consistent with my eating and exercise and I will see results. It has not been a smooth decline – I've been up and down, but this is the most success I've ever had. My clothing is definitely fitting differently and I am looking forward to trying on a few favourites that I didn't think I'd ever get into again :)

    The goal is in sight.

    1st August:

    Weight lost/gained this week: - 1lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 4lbs
    Successes/struggles this week: I'm amazed I actually lost a pound. We were away at the weekend which involved sitting in the car for five hours each way. I ate far too much at the weekend and didn't log like I said I would. However, I have bought some size 14 trousers that now fit me which has been surprisingly motivating. I've got a meal out and a takeaway this week so I'm just going to make the best choices I can. One big success - I haven't had a binge this week! I really feel like it, but I've managed to stop myself with a good taking to.
    Well done everyone so far!

    1st August:

    Weight lost/gained this week: 1.6 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: 4.2 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Success: I know it doesn't seem like much, but as of 1 lb ago, I'm officially 10% of the way to my goal!

    Struggles: You'll notice that my weigh-in date is different. TOM hit me this morning and I'm just going to ignore that number on the scale and use one from earlier this week. We'll just not talk about it. Although, it is worth noting that the number it jumped way up to is lower than my starting weight this month :).

    Weight lost/gained this week: -2.2
    Weight lost/gained this month: -14.6

    Successes: So far, I've logged my food faithfully, haven't gone over my calories yet, followed a low carb/high protein plan and I'm excited that the weight is coming off. Been drinking my water and trying to up my exercise each week.
    Struggles: Exercise is my struggle, because I'm in S. Arizona (HOT) and I like to hike and walk outside. Can't wait until the weather cools down. In the mean time, I've been walking an indoor track = boring, but doable. :smile:

    Just a week and a half left of this challenge. Here's to a great final stretch, everyone!

I seem to not be able to put down sweets. ugh :( I need to workout out everyday because the moment I don't, I don't for the rest of the week. some days I feel completely motivated and others I feel whatever. Need to focus on my motivation and my final goal more so that I can continue to move forward instead of backwards.

    Successes/struggles this week: My weight was as high as 214 in the past week and this morning it was back at 209. I weigh every morning in the same spot though so I don't know how it fluctuates so much. It's not my TOM or anything either. This week I have been eating what I want and exercising when I want lol. Summer is such a *kitten* time to diet lol.

    Successes/struggles this week: Trying to stay away from sweets. I had a little bit of a depressing week, so of course I turned to food. I am trying to get better with that. I was hoping to lose more than a pound, but I am good with this! I am changing my goal weight from 200 to 210.
