I have observed that weight loss by only through eating healthy or without exercise , the number on scale fluctuates easily.During the week I did weigh 189.5 lbs but today it is 190.5 lbs.Hopefully it will be a lower number next week.1 -

I didn't track on the 4th, first time in 72 days, I think I just needed the break. I went right back to tracking on the 5th, now I just need to work on getting my exercise done. I am hopeful I will be back on the loosing track next week.1 -

Today, July 6th was extremely hard mentally. I am in between steady jobs, have a family whom I am the primary support for plus a mortgage and all that jazz. We were supposed to move to Massachusetts, but that got put on hold. So I was in a bad mental headspace today. I wanted nothing more than to going on a binge like I normally would. I was even thinking of quitting the challenge. At the time I was thinking why am I adding the extra stress of trying to lose weight right now.
Came home from work in a very sour mood, my family could tell. I didn't want to take it out on them. Nothing was prepared for dinner and they wanted to go out for burgers at DQ. Well that was about to be my last straw for the day. I was going to give in.
We get to DQ and I'm in line reading the nutritional facts and nothing sounded good or was worth the calories and eventual guilt. They ordered and I said I'd make something at home. We came home, they had burgers and fries and I had a portion of leftover pasta salad. It was lite and refreshing which allowed me to the get on the treadmill for an hour and a half and walk my way back into a clear headspace again. Now I feel much better, accomplished, stronger, and at peace and ready to take on another day.5 -

Unable to weigh in Wednesday as away all week. First chance was Saturday morning.
Tried eating more this week while away. Little if any change. Will persist.
For anyone that is new to Gutbusters this month just a note on my weigh ins. I am not part of the teams results. I am actively trying NOT to lose weight, but maintain. As such, my weigh ins are optional. I choose to post a weigh in so that others can see I am still keeping a similar focus in maintenance as I was when losing weight.1 -
Hi team, as I thought, I've not been able to get access to a set of scales since I've been away. @craig03154 please could you record this week's weigh in for me as 190 which was my Monday weight? I'm not sure what caused the gain at the time but I imagine I'll be at least that when I get home.
Had a gorgeous trek around Powerscourt waterfall today and off for a long hike around the Wicklow mountains tomorrow, before flying back home to London in the evening, hopefully that will help some of the holiday damage!2 -

Was on track for July 8, until we decided to go to Panera for dinner. I ordered reasonably well, but then one of my dudes took half my meal and I ended up eating the kids' mac and cheese. <sigh> I'm pretty sure I won't undue all my progress before the weigh-in tomorrow, but moments of weakness are killer ...
@emmclean I had to look up where Powercourt was, and saw the waterfalls. Looks pretty amazing! Hope you had a good flight home!
@craigo3154 Is your current travel schedule your normal routine, or is it unusually busy? I hope you too have a good flight, and that maintenance phase works better on this trip! (Totally envious of inadvertent weight loss right now, but I could see how that could be annoying if you don't mean for it to happen!)

I worked so hard this past week and not going to lie, I wanted to break my scale this morning. I know why it's up today, nothing I could do about it. I know I've made lots of progress by how I feel and look. I know I just have to keep pushing and the scale will catch up. It's just frustrating as hell. Sorry team, but I will push as hard as I can for a great number next week.2 -
