    I picked up a pound this week. Gotta get a tighter grip on my carbs. Overall, I lost almost 4 lbs this month. Next month will be better. I hope to hit 180 by Aug 31.

    4 lbs is a great month. Go you!

    I'm shocked because I haven't been particularly good this week, had three days where I was over my 1,200 calories (one of those days I was almost 600 calories over!) I guess what MFPers say is true, the calorie counts are guides and it's okay to not be so true to the numbers. Makes sense, being over because of grilled salmon & broccoli is better than being over from eating two Krispy Kreme donuts, maybe.?!

    Super month. You did so good. Keep it up.

    Successes/Struggles this week: This was a month filled with frustrations. Covered in poison ivy, sleepless, and burdened at work. I lost two weeks of working out to the poison ivy, but have been able to get started again. It feels so good. I never thought I would ever say that. I did not hit my goal, which was a surprise, but I learned some new things about stasis and patience. As always I am grateful to be able to be mobile, to be able to think clearly, and to be able to laugh about my own ridiculousness.

    July 22 - no scales. On vacation! :D
    July 29 - 117.2 (up from vacation). Back to logging!
    July 31 - 116.4

    I am up 1.4 lbs for July. But I had two July 4th celebrations, a 10 day vacation and two BD parties. I know those are just excuses but I am back to logging and will get that 1.4 lbs off by my next mini vacation in 3 weeks.

    My challenge is just to stay the same for July. With all the festivities and vacation.

    I am at maintenance. I have lost 47 lbs and trying to stay at 115 lbs. These challenges keep me accountable. I am up 1.4 from vacation. Trying to stay within 3 lbs of my 115 maintenance weight.

    WTG everyone. There are several August challenges on The Challenges board. Let's all join one and keep going.

    I am on maintenance and trying to stay at my goal weight. Which is just as (or even harder) than losing.

    Good luck to all.
