    Successes/struggles this week: I enjoyed the July challenge, even though I didn't reach my goal. I figure this is a good way to track my progress and stay accountable. I took body measurements that I want to post along with my weigh in's, so I can determine progress...even if it's not on the scale.

    Weight lost/gained this week: 3 lb
    Weight lost/gained this month: 3 lb

    Successes/struggles this week:

    Aug 1st - just could not stop eating

    Aug 2nd - scale showed 2.2 loss, but meds are playing a big role in my gain/loss factors. I am using clothes as a better scale right now. But it still feels good to see a loss!!

    Aug 3 - down another 0.2 today. I will take that!!

    Aug 4 - Up the 0.2 that I lost yesterday. I am sure it is b/c I ate lots of carbs, even though it was vegetables.

    Onward and downward we go!! o:)

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I did weigh myself on the 1st. I actually ended up gaining this month already due to a variety of factors, but I'd really like to shave it off and then some.

    Successes/struggles this week: I know 7.4 pounds in a month seems like a lofty goal, but I'm quite sure I can accomplish it. I've been off track for a while now and it's time to get recommitted. I'm sure the first few pounds will be water weight and I'll be down to 190 in a week or so. Then the fat will start melting off. Boo-ya! Check back in on Saturday morning.

    Successes/struggles this week:

    Bad habbits - tea and biscuits just before bed, like its a comfort thing. Figure if I cut the tea then no need for biscuits, I will see how that goes. Also if I watch a film at night- I tend to want some nuts or popcorn to nibble on as if this somehow makes the film more enjoyable....as I said, bad habbits!
