    There are just a few days left in this month. Last night, I noticed that we have had a sudden plunge in our sign-ins. @craigo3154, we may have to circle back around and gather in our lost ones.
    For everyone who is still going strong...keep the finish line in focus!!

    @pribud : Thanks for the encouragement yesterday. It means a lot!
    @craigo3154: Great progress pics!
    @trixsey1 : I am a daily "weigher". I can see my weight go up overnight by three pounds for no reason, or down three pounds. I used to really curse at my scales if I gained weight after a big workout, but then I learned that my sore muscle cells were absorbing water (plus I drank more after a workout). Similarly, I often lose weight the day after I have gone overboard. That makes noooo sense, unless perhaps I am dehydrated. This Spring I got stuck at a plateau that I just could not break. Subsequent depression led to a 20 pound gain. Every one has a different system for weighing in, but I find that daily has helped me understand (and have patience with) the odd fluctuations that we all see. If I only weighed once a week and it happened to be an "off" day, I'd probably throw my scales out the window.

    Hello Everyone! Hope you're all on track and feeling good tonight. If you're not on track, I still hope you're feeling good. ;)

    3 yeses and I'm really feeling the soreness after the weight training (though I like to think of it as "weight abusing " lol) from yesterday. It's all in the name of becoming a pinnacle of health and totally worth it. Back to the weights again tomorrow. Make it great!

    YIPES, I am doing an awful job with the thread. There is so much good stuff going on with everybody! So much to comment on and I can't keep up. I think I reported in on Sunday. If not I am good for the last three days with exercise, tracking and calories.

    Exercise: walk 25 min
    Calories: under
    Tracked: yes
    Miles: 1.5
    Lesson learned: I need to get up early in the morning to get exercise done. Things that I have to do after work take up my exercise time. I'm a long time insomniac so I have such a hard time getting up. Something to work on!!!

    Hi Everyone!
    I have been very distracted by family (last weekend) and work (yesterday and today).
    Calories: under by a bit
    Tracking: ok
    Exercise: walking just to make it so.

    July 25: yes x3
    @craigo3154 thanks for sharing your pics...a true testament to how much work you have put it. also inspires me to keep going and maybe one day I'll have my own comparison photos
    @trixsey1 I am a once a week weigh in person. I think the daily fluctuation would drive me insane. I just do my best everyday and when friday night comes the scale will say what it does...for the good and the bad...lol!

    A good day with my sister. Did some walking around Home Sense for about 30 minutes. Lots of visiting but making good healthy food choices. Still on board for incorporating daily healthy habits and exercise despite the fact that I did not make the winner's circle this month.

    @SimonsChange, Wow! 9 lbs in less than a month. That's great.
    @Trixsey1, daily changes don't mean much, I go up and down almost 3 lbs daily. I've been using "http://www.weightgrapher.com/graphs" which creates a graph and gives you the trend of weight loss. I get less crazy over the scale when I can see the trend.
    Anyway, yes x 3 for me today.

    @trixsey1 fluctuations are VERY normal .. I weigh daily because I cant stand waiting a whole week to stand on the scale at "the wrong time" ..

    this is my last weight ins
    17/07/ 202.6
    18/07/ 202.6
    19/07/ 201.2
    20/07/ 201.2
    21/07/ 200.6
    22/07/ 200.2
    23/07/ 200
    24/07/ 201.4
    25/07/ 202.2

    up n down like a yo- yo at the start of July I was 203.4 so the trend is down Muscle pain usually causes water weight (for muscle repair) or if you have had a lot of salt the night before you will retain water .. also (gross alert) waste which has yet to leave the body. Don't fret the small gains :)

    just to add because I have to tell someone :P... my weight this morning dropped to its ALL TIME LOW .. 199.6 lbs

    does the VERY happy dance!!!

    @Slimpossible007. Awesome!!!!!!! Welcome to the onesies!
