I must say at first I didn't think I could do it. As be fore I would stop. When your health is the main reason for doing this, so you will not take any meds. It makes a world of difference as of why I can't go back.

08/07:
Weight lost/gained this week: -0.5 kg
Weight lost/gained this month: - 0.5 kg

Successes/struggles this week: No struggles this week Except maybe getting to the gym. I had such a busy week that the only time I could fit in a gym session was on Monday after work. Will try harder to make it to the gym

15/07:

Weight lost/gained this week: -0.7 kg
Weight lost/gained this month: -1.2 kg

Successes/struggles this week: Woah, I've reached my goal! Wow that was easier than expected! But I will still keep doing the challenge because with TOM approaching, I know I will pick up a bit so we'll see where we are on the 1st of August. I did manage to fit in an extra session in the gym. Did this class called Piloxing, which was amazing!!! It was really tough but it gave me exactly what I needed, a fully body workout

22/07:

Weight lost/gained this week: +0.2 kg
Weight lost/gained this month: -1.0 kg

Successes/struggles this week: Only a very slight increase considering it's that TOM... I've kept up with my gym session. I planned on having a burger today as a reward but thought , rather not. It's not like I'm craving it. This way, if I do later get cravings, I won't feel bad for giving in

29/07:

Weight lost/gained this week: +0.2 kg
Weight lost/gained this month: -0.8 kg

Successes/struggles this week: Weirdly enough I've been eating a lot more than usual... I think it may be because I'm stressed out. That's definitely it. And I'm extremely fatigued

Final weigh in in July for me ~
