It may not be coming off quickly and I may not achieve the 5 lbs loss for this challenge, BUT the overall pattern is downwards which is all I care about! I was also overjoyed to be in the 167's this morning - I had been stuck in the 168's ALL week!!6 -

My birthday is this weekend, so I know next week's weigh in probably won't be much better. I just have to remind myself that it'll even out in the long run.7 -

Is he doing this program with you?
He is doing the 100 push-ups daily with me! However, he isn't really trying to lose weight so is not as focused on a healthy diet. I always struggle to maintain my eating habits since he likes to snack, eat fast-food, and not gain any weight, haha! He was gone doing field work in the tropics for 2 months so came back 22 lbs lighter...making my 8 lb weight loss seem like nothing! I have to keep telling myself that I will be able to maintain the weight loss better if I take it slow, but I am just having a moment of discouragement. This morning I was down another 0.5 lb and liked what I saw in the mirror, so I think I am on an upward trend in my confidence again.

I feel your pain. My husband is slim, has trouble gaining weight, and he grazes constantly. It doesn't seem fair. 😀

Comments: It's been rough since January, basically gaining and losing the same 7 pounds over and over again. I think this challenge has gotten me back on track. This week's loss, .8 lbs, is close to my ideal 1 lb/week rate.10 -

I went camping this weekend and I had a huge ice cream cone yesterday. Didn’t get to weigh everything but I just kept logging my food as best I could with horrible service and tried to stay within my calorie limit and I still dropped the weight. So excited!

Happy Sunday, everyone!
A better week this week, still trying to score a net loss on the month, but I had a better week, and did better in sticking to my calorie goal or less each day. I saw 202 numbers again this week so hopefully those higher numbers are gone again, for good this time. No new daily low, but I matched it this week. That is a good sign.
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1999: 195.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233
Goal: 180 in however long it takes.
Weekly averages:
June 24th to July 1st: 203.1
July 2nd to July 8th: 203.5
July 9th to July 15th: 204.2
July 16th to July 22nd: 203.5
Loss for July: 0.4 on GAIN
MFP Loss: 29.5 bs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 39.5 lbs.
Until next week,
Move more, eat less.

I'm thrilled with a 1 lb loss this week. The first half of the week I didn't eat very well and then the second half I didn't exercise much (because it's was non-stop raining here and I mostly walk or swim outside for exercise).10 -
