Successes/struggles: Lifting weights, gaining a lot of muscle so I am not dropping the weight as much as in the first months when I started my journey. However, it is a down trend, so I'm okay with it. Rather lose slowly but consistently even if it takes a little longer. Oh, and my waist is 7.5" less than 6 months ago!

Weight lost/gained this week: - 3 lbs (1.3)
Weight lost/gained this month: - 12.5 lbs (5.67 kgs)

Successes/struggles this week:

Week 1: Good start to this month. On travel next week so healthy low calorie meals will be a challenge. I anticipate a weight gain but will try to keep the gain minimal.
Week 2: Back from travel today. Surprisingly, weight was static so I am pleased with that. Back to routine tomorrow so hope to see some losses next week and get into the 180's.
Week 3: Success getting into the 180's. Still walking everyday. Exercise and eating at a calorie deficit is working well for me. Finally had to buy a new pair of jeans. My old ones were a 42" waist and new ones are a 36" "slim" and fit nicely. I was really surprised by that NSV.
Week 4: Very happy with losses this month. Anticipate a slow down next week due to social events and travel.

Successes/struggles this week: went for a run on Saturday in prep for a 5k that I have coming up - and then injured myself that night. So I'm sitting here now with it all bandaged up and feeling sorry for myself. I am really happy that i ended up in the 77's. 2.4 kg total isn't anything to sneeze at, and hopefully gives me a realistic goal to go for for November's challenge!
