    1lb per week isn't bad, but I need to do better these last few weeks of the challenge. I'm getting lots of exercise, but not doing great with my diet still.

    May 31:207.2 (-2.6) I had a feeling that the previous weight was maybe a false low.
    June 7: 207.0 (-2.8) My head wasn't in the game the last couple of weeks because of a hip injury, but hip is feeling better and I'm getting back into exercise.
    June 14: 206.3 (-3.5) PT is working great for my hip and I'm exercising more.
    June 21:207.4 (-2.4) Felt bloated this morning. It's a good thing I also weigh daily.

    I'm in!
    Ultimate Starting Weight: 175
    Ultimate Goal: 135
    Challenge Starting Weight on April 20: 165.2
    Challenge Goal: 155
    April 26: 163.0
    May 3: 162.2
    May 10: 161.8 - not a huge loss, but glad I was able to lose at all. I had a pretty full weekend of calories and it took some extra time to get that weight back down.
    May 17: 161.4 - not much loss again, but I've been sick this whole week. Slept most of the time so wasn't as active as normal. Hoping to start next week off healthy.
    May 24: 160.8 - slowly but surely... Almost to the 150s!!! That's my goal for next week 😁
    May 31: 161.0 - Ok, I can explain. I started TOM this week and Memorial Day Weekend was full of giving in to cravings. I gained about 4 lbs worth of water weight but it reduced quickly. This week WILL be better!
    June 8(forgot to weigh in yesterday): 159.6 - yay!
    June 14: 158.6 - nice! It's getting down to the wire so I know I need to stay on track! Next week I go on vacation for 5 days though, so I guess we will see what happens...
    June 21: Vacation
    June 28: 160 - ugh. I attribute this to the vacation and TOM that started this week. :(

    I need to taper to maintenance and do not know where my "final" weight will settle.

    5'10" and over 50, Male
    Ultimate Starting Weight: 202
    Challenge Starting Weight (April 29): 166
    Goal Range for July 04: 159-163
    Ultimate Goal Range: 150-157 (?)

    04/29: 166.0
    05/08: 166.2
    05/19: 165.5
    05/29: 167.2
    06/05: 162.6
    06/12: 162.6
    06/19: 162.4
    06/26: 160.4

    Finally. All that work I've been doing over the past three weeks has shown up on the scale.

    Well I am traveling again and do not have access to a scale. I may not be able to weigh myself for the final weigh-in next week so I think I will just take my last weigh-in from two days ago as my final one for the challenge. I said I would be happy anywhere in the 159-163 range and 160.4 is good enough. I'm trying hard to learn when to stop. Also, right now I feel like I need to go on a little maintenance break, even if I do come back and lose 5-10 more pounds in the future.

    Thanks for all your support!
