    I was down about 3 pounds earlier in the week and then did some damage with food and no exercise. (I hurt my ankle and had to rest it).

    1 June 2016: 145.8 lbs (3.6 lost)
    1 July 2016: 141.6 lbs (4.2 lost)
    1 August 2016: 138.2 lbs (3.4 lost)

    Challenge Goal Weight Sept 30: 131.0 lbs
    [Ultimate goal: less than 120 lbs by end of Dec]

    Weekly Weigh In (I weigh in and tape for record on Fridays)
    Sep 2: 135.8 lbs C/W/H: 33.5"/28.25"/37.75"
    Sep 9: 135.4 lbs C/W/H: 33.5"/28.0"/37.25"

    Total LBS lost this week: 2.6 lbs
    Total LBS lost this month: 3.0 lbs
    Total LBS lost overall: 16.6 lbs; 12.8 lbs to go for ultimate goal! (over 50% there!)

    Challenges: Have been having challenges being motivated to go out to paddle (my best workout) despite the weather being great all week. Had to buckle down and figured out that my stall was self induced - my CI=CO instead of CI<CO. Worked hard for the past week to ensure that my CI<CO. Also increased my water intake which I think helped to flush my system.

    Successes: Broke through my stall!! Biggest loss in a week since I started MFP. Over 50% of the way to my ultimate goal of 120 lbs.

    I know what you mean...I have my biggest challenges on the weekends too. Between social engagements and racing events, it is near impossible for me to completely behave on weekends. So, I just planned for it, and don't beat myself up over it.

    I do my record weigh ins on Friday so I'm not discouraged on Monday (when it seems most people like to do weigh ins). I do weigh daily, so I see the damage done on Monday, but it just gives me a guide for the rest of the week. I try to build a deficit during the week to take care of the weekends, and if I don't, I just work hard the next week to make up for the weekend. I try to keep it under control, but I do plan that on Sat and Sun I'll have calorie overages (but strive to keep them at maintenance levels). I try to get all my exercise in for the week done by Friday (I know I need 1400 calories burned to stick to my daily calorie goals), so any workouts on the weekend are bonus. I don't want to deny myself of my weekend fun, but I also wanted to figure out a way to make it work while losing. For the most part, it's been working for me (though maybe I'm losing a bit slower than if I behaved on the weekend), so maybe something similar might help for you.

    We all have good days and bad days. If you work to make your good days really good, then those can help to carry you through the bad days.

    Total LBS lost this week: -.2 lbs (gain of .2 lbs)
    Total LBS lost this month: 2.8 lbs
    Total LBS lost overall: 16.4 lbs; 13.0 lbs to go for ultimate goal! (over 50% there!)

    Challenges: Spiked nearly 3 lbs on Monday after a weekend of eating out. Able to get to within .2 lbs of last week. Didn't get as much sleep last night as I'd have liked for the night before a record weigh in, had to weigh in early due to a morning commitment, and could feel the water retention/bloat as I was weighing in.

    Successes: Losses in inches this week despite a slight gain on the scale - down to the next size in pants (6 or 4) depending on the brand, either way, should be fitting into smalls now.

    Challenges: TOM bloat early in the week. Have had a hard time getting out to paddle this week. No inches lost (need to add more resistance training/weight lifting to body shape).

    Successes: One of my best weight loss months so far. Woohoo!! Happily shocked to see 131's on the scale this morning, I figured I'd be doing good to see 132's.

    ?? Is there going to be an October challenge??
