    Update: I definitely indulged the first few days: family bday celebrations and 4th of July food fun. So, the carbs and sugar showed up on the scale for now, but I'm getting back on track. I hope after this 5-day detox, I should make a break through.

    7/6th back in the 180s, hopefully not for long...
    7/8th--12th: Nutritional Detox
    7/13th:
    7/20th:

    Good luck with your detox! Be strong ❤️

    Thanks for the encouragement. So far so good.

    I feel your pain Stella. I was stuck in the 230s for about 6 yrs before joining MFP. It felt like a vortex to me but through the grace of God I finally broke through. What did it for me was to be a little uncomfortable and let some habits go, whether it was food or lifestyle. Hope this helps. Praying for ya.

    I will be weighing daily, it keeps me accountable and motivated and shows trends
    Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
    July goal (since I hit 160 3 times in June) is 155
    Ultimate goal 115

    July 01 - 163.1 - Still up from eating ribs in June, I will have to lay off those for at least a few months
    July 02 - 165.6 - !!! that is more than I was at the beginning of June. Hopefully just a blip.
    July 03 - 162.0
    July 04 - 160.8
    July 05 - 162.5 - oh well, 25 more days to hopefully get out of the 160s
    July 06 - 162.5
    July 07 - 162.2
    July 08 - 163.5 - Not sure why or how, but I will stay the course. I have been "good", and I don't feel heavier : - )
    July 09 - 163.2 - Hoping for a woosh this week, staying determined.
    July 10 - 161.0 - I actually was 162.0 at 5am, but went back to bed and lost a pound lol. Not sure which one is right, I usually weigh very early in the morning, but I will take it for now. Seeing the scale move down keeps me motivated.

    Running loss/gain: Loss - 1.1 or 2.1

    There’s that whoosh! Well done!

    I tried hard to stay within my calorie intake goals this past weekend. Now, our local gym is having a cardio challenge so we are trying to go to the gym everyday (from July 7 to July 31).

    We changed our workout time from 9pm to 5:30am. I'm curious as to how this will reflect on my weight. At the same time, I'm working on getting 7 hrs of sleep by going to bed at 9pm. So far, I've been able to be asleep by 10pm so it's a work in progress.

    MFP Starting Weight: 140 lbs - February 2011
    Current Starting Weight: 147 lbs - November 2017
    July Starting Weight: 136.4 lbs
    July Goal: 133.4 lbs

    Height: 5ft

    Ultimate Goal: 120 lbs

    Weigh-In Day: Friday and Monday

    July 1: 138.2 at 8am
    July 5: 135.2 at 8am
