Lose 5lbs in August 2017

It's not my weigh in day...but I'm feeling brave enough to share.
The photo on the left came up in my Facebook memories from one year ago when I was on vacation visiting my family.
I don't like having my picture taken (especially head-to-toe shots)... but I was feeling brave today and donned the same shirt and had my picture taken so I could compare. I'd have worn the same pants but I literally wore them threadbare and I tossed them out a few weeks ago.
So here we are... about halfway to my goal. I'll never be slim, but I've set a realistic goal for my height and frame and WHEN I get there, there will be less of me than at any time since my early 20s. I turned 50 a few months ago.

I worked really hard last week--and no results! Very discouraging! I'm a go for broke and I'm going to weigh-in one more time on the 30th! We'll see....
