    Just got back from 10 day vacation with my family. I broke my Fitbit on day 2 when I went swimming. Didn't realize it wasn't waterproof! UGH! However with all the eating out and time of the month showing up early I was happy that the scale only went up a minor bit! Here's to hoping I can get my butt in gear this week & get back down & then some! At this point I'll be happy if I can just get down 3 pounds for the month. I knew it would be hard with the Holiday weekend and then vacation this month!

    My weigh in day is Tuesday.

    June 28 - 115
    July 5 - 117.2(two days of celebrating the 4th. I hope this is sodium. Back to the program!!)
    July 12 - 115.4 (almost back to maintenance weight)
    July 19 - on vacation. No scales.
    July 26 - 117.6 oops! Up 2.6 from vacation.

    I am back to 1200 cals. Probably won't get the whole 2.6 off by Sunday but will keep working on it. I really enjoyed my 10 day vacation to the Jersey Shore.

    My goal is to stay the same for July with all the festivities and vacations.

    A little bit short but things just didn't go how I thought they would. Well I am still losing and have committed myself to accept this as a change of life and not a diet. This in itself is a big NSV. Thanks for the challenge.

    Good morning everyone. Everyone is doing awesome. Congrats on the losses this week. I think I did good considering I was only able to workout twice this week and that I had visitor. I did make and pass my goal so yay!!!!! I seriously doubt I lose anything by tomorrow since I have a birthday cookout to attend but I will make the best choice. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

    I've been losing weight slowly the past few weeks, so I revisited my calories and decided to reduce them from 2200 and change to 1700 and change to see if that would get me back to losing about .5 to 1 pound a week again.

    Happy with the loss, but bummed I didn't hit my goal. I could have done better this month, struggled with summer festivities including food and alcohol. Next month I hope to stay on track.

    Great job everyone with the weight loss! Keep it up!
