Day/Weight/Comment
July 1 - 128.4
July 2 - 128.0
July 3 - 127.0
July 4 - 127.0 Out to eat last night, tried to eat conservatively- but hard to track. Guess I am lucky i did not gain.
July 5 - 126.0 Whoo Hoo! Not sure how that happened, though was aware of what I ate, had celery instead of chips, small amounts of dip and only 1 helping.
July 6 - 125.8 Also doing the No late night snacking challenge, I really think that is helping me
July 7 - 126.2
July 8 - 126 .0 After a hectic weekend ready to have some normal.
July 9 - 125.8 Adjusted my Macros Protein and ate probably for first time my appropriate protein level. Ate more calories still loss and felt satiated, but a lot of work and no opportunity to eat excess.
July 10 - 125.4 Eating more protein and more food, feeling less tired and still losing. Eating 1/2 my workout calories back too. Interesting
July 11 -124.8 This upping my protein seems to be working. I need to figure out my calories though, want to have a healthy life change and not a short term fix.
July 12 - 124.6
July 13 - 125.4 Did not track dinner last night, enjoyed several glasses of wine and Late Night Snacked- No surprise here.
July 15 - 126 Going backwards, proved if you are not keeping track I will lose control. Hope to get back to tracking and losing.

I am losing so slowly now that I am almost at my maintenance weight. I am really trying to get below 144 (which is "normal" BMI weight supposedly on the chart at least) this month and will be the top of my maintenance weight. I want to ultimately reach 138 so that I have that room to be able to indulge and not freak out with a fluctuation. I am doing 14 days no alcohol right now to see if it jump starts my loss, but so far it hasn't really changed anything.

SW: 178 lbs

May 30 - 145.9 a new low to end the month!
July 1 - 146.5 was lower yesterday, but I am still happy with this on a Monday. Day 7 no alcohol
July 2 - 145.9 day 8 of no alcohol. 6 more to go to see if I see any changes
July 3 - 145.9 same no change no alcohol day 9 and not seeing much of a difference at this point.
July 4 - 145.9 again! Uuugghh
July 5 - 146.7 up a bit from yesterday. More food than usual. 11 days no alcohol and no major weight changes
July 6 - 146.4 maintenance calories yesterday.Not the best food choices,but not over calories. Sodium was higher than normal though.
July 7 - 148.1 lots of alcohol last night for the fights. Will be gone by tomorrow or the next day hopefully.
July 8 - 148.9 just the rest of Saturday nights gains. All in all an amazing 4 day weekend with family and friends.
July 9 - 147.6 down a bit, hopefully I will be back at my starting weight soon (took me 1 day to gain and 2-3 to lose it)
July 10 - 147.6 was hoping it would be lower but had a drink while making dinner with my hubby. So its deserved
July 11 - 146.3 almost back to where I started the month. Maybe I will finally see a new low tomorrow or Saturday
July 12 - 144.6 A new low and I am so excited to see progress! 1.6 lbs to go and I will officially be out of the overweight category
July 13 - 144.6 same 😁😁
July 14 - 146.8 had my cheat meal last night. Was extremely high in sodium and carbs. Only about 100 calories over though
July 15 - 150.5 went to zoo and walked a lot in 100 degree weather. 1 meal all day, almost double my sodium allowance

July 5 - 79.2kg
July 6 - 78.6kg
July 7 - 79.6kg - day after my massive cheat night!
July 8 - 79.6kg - ugh, still recovering
July 9 - 79.6kg - bloat is down, but my numbers are not. I won’t lie - it’s discouraging. Oh well, going to keep going anyway.
July 10 - 78.9kg. Finally!
July 11 - 78.5kg YEAAAH!
July 12 - 79.0kg Looking leaner
July 13 - 77.8kg Now 1.8kg from my monthly goal with 2 weeks to go!
July 14 - 77.8kg Cheat day yesterday, but much more conservative than last week - and weight is stable. Yusss.
July 15 - 79.2kg Ah, the fluctuations. Clothes fitting better.
July 16 - 78.8kg Big meal last night, but still within my range. I’ve been skipping lunch (or having a snack only) to save most of my calories for dinner, but I’m going to switch it up and have a light lunch and medium dinner from here. My stomach seems to have shrunk anyway, so I have a hard time fitting in a big dinner now. Magic how little things change along the way...

July 2: 187.4 Setting new records here! Over 33lbs lost now
July 3: 188.6 Ugh! I'm hoping this is just because I weighed in at 7am, instead of the 10am I've been doing the last 5 days..
July 4: 189 Ughh!!! whats going on!
July 5: 190: Sigh.
July 6: 189.9
July 7: 190
July 8: 189.8
July 9: 190.2 Knocked myself out of Ketosis Saturday night @ a social event. I was smart and ate before I went, but there was this DIP that was Amazing...and alcohol, of course. Got back on track yesterday and ketones looking good this morning. Today I weighed myself at 7am, yesterday at 1 (after a prolonged fast)...So I'm actually probably down today.
July 10: 189 On the way back down...
July 11: 190.2 Huh
July 12: 190 Okay....

July 10- 150 Going to watch my sodium today and drink a ton of water. I ate out for lunch yesterday and had buffalo cauliflower wings... thought it was a good choice but they were fried and probably full of salt so I think I was fooling myself. Still downward trend so I am happy. 3 lbs more to lose this month, let's go!
July 11- 150. I’m fine with it, I know it’ll

Day/Weight/Comment

July 1 - 211.2 (+1.2) - I still dunno what's going on. Today I'm restarting and have all my food logged! I am saying NO to the pantry and will not snack after dinner! I'm still thinking I'm holding onto water from being so sore, but I dunno. I was in vacation from work last week, so I wasn't moving much. Today I'm back at work and drinking my usual 96oz of water and eating all my logged food. Hopefully all the moving here will help me drop some of this dang water weight. Here's to July being a better month!

July 2 - 209.6 (-1.6) - Yay! Finally going back down! And I feel like I ate a bunch yesterday, but I was still within my goal. I managed 45 min on the treadmill, hit my daily 10k step goal, and drank 112oz of water, so all in all yesterday was a good day! I decided to stop doing the 30 day challenge for now and just stick to eating right/within my limit and using the treadmill since that seems to be working okay-ish. Today will basically be the same food except dinner of course. But it's all logged!

July 3 - 208.6 (-1.0) - Still going down! I didn't use the treadmill last night because I had a raging headache, but I still stayed within my goal and was happy to see a lower number this morning. Tonight I will use the treadmill though and hopefully will still see another dip in the morning!

July 4 - 206.8 (-1.8) - New low! Yay finally was able to break out of the 207s! I even broke from what I had logged and had pizza for lunch yesterday. I made sure I only ate what first into my goals and made sure I used the treadmill last night too. Today will be interesting too, as were going to MIL house for a bbq and swimming with the kids. I am going to behave myself! And I will use the treadmill tonight too! Have a great day everyone. Keep it up!

July 5 - 207.2 (+0.4) - Was expected. I wasn't very active yesterday, ans I didn't drink enough water, but I ate okay. And I got 30 min in on the treadmill!

July 6 - 208 (+0.8) - We had McDonalds for dinner. It was within my goals, but it still made me go up. No treadmill as we were at a Basketball game that eventually got postponed because we had to deal with and earthquake. I worked today and did real well with my food. Weighed and logged my entire dinner. Will use the treadmill tonight though.

July 7 - 208 (+0.0) - No loss, no gain. Guess ots better than no gain. I'm starting to feel swollen in my legs a feet, so I think my body is starting to get ready for TOM that should be here within the next week. I drank my normal amount of water yesterday and it didn't do much for me. All I can do its wait it out and make good choices.

July 8 - 209.2 (+1.2) - Well, this was slightly surprising. But I've got all my meals prepped for the week for breakfast and lunch, and I'm making sure I get 96oz of water a day. I did another 30min on the treadmill and hit my 10k step goal for the 2nd day in a row! I already can tell I'll be lower I'm the morning vs what I was this morning so that's good. All I can do is take it one day at a time. Gotta get back to 206s and under!

July 9 - 207.4 (-1.8) - Yay, I went back down! Walked for 30 min on the treadmill and stayed within my goal. Hope it keeps going down!

July 10 - 208.0 (+.6) - Well, I had jack in the box for lunch. Stayed in my goal and even walked 35 min on the treadmill. Maybe too much sodium yesterday even though I had my 96oz of water. Tomorrow is another day!

July 11 - 207.6 (-0.4) - Going down again. Did 30 min on the treadmill last night.

July 12 - 207.8 (+0.2) - Not too bad. Staying in the 207's and that's better than going up. I walked for 35 min on the treadmill last night. I'm keeping at it. I just wish my weight would go down more.

July 13 - 206.6 - (-1.2) - Yay, and unexpected surprise! Last night was a rest day. Didn't use the treadmill, dinner was light, but I did have ice cream after, so I was expecting to either stay the same or go up. So when it was lower, I was excited. Hopefully I can get to my 205 goal this month!

July 14 - 206.0 (-0.6) - Yesterday was a weird eating day for me. I had my malto meal and blueberries at 830am then had a class from 10 to 2pm. Had to drop paperwork off after class that took another hour and a half, so it was almost 4 before I got home. We decided that Saturday was our eat out night. I had a pot roast sandwich (so good, but I only ate half) fries and a side salad with ranch. I was super full by the end. I know for a fact I was over my calories for the day, so i was super stoked to see the scale go down again today! I'm so close to 205! 205.0 will me my 10lbs lost mark and I can't wait. I've been working hard and it's been a roller coaster (you should see my graph from the last two months. Very hilly, but trending downwards). I'm so excited you guys!

July 15 - 207.0 (+1.0) - Two words: Italian food. Yesterday was my MIL birthday so went went to dinner. She wanted Italian food. I'm actually happy I'm only up a lb from yesterday considering I logged everything as best as I could. I'm drinking tons of water today, but I think I'll be back to where I was very shortly. We have plans to eat put tonight too, but I'm gonna make sure I know where we are going before hand so I can log everything accordingly. Happy Monday!

July 16 - 206.0 (-1.0) - I was really surprised this morning! I was bad yesterday and went waaaaay over my calories, though I did log everything! I did walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill too. Hoping to see 205's tomorrow!

I am losing so slowly now that I am almost at my maintenance weight. I am really trying to get below 144 (which is "normal" BMI weight supposedly on the chart at least) this month and will be the top of my maintenance weight. I want to ultimately reach 138 so that I have that room to be able to indulge and not freak out with a fluctuation. I am doing 14 days no alcohol right now to see if it jump starts my loss, but so far it hasn't really changed anything.
