    Oh well. Have to try harder next month. I've adjusted my goals because there's no way I'm going to lose 10 lbs between now and the end of June.

    June 3:160.8
    June 10: 163 (long weekend so I ate all the snacks)
    June 17:159.2

    Oh well. So I basically lost 0.2 lbs between the end of May and the end of June. Still aiming for 150 at the end of August. Just have to push myself harder.

    July 1:160.8
    July 8: 158 finally out of the 160s! I’ve been consistently between 157 and 159 this week so I feel good saying I’m out of the 160s. 4lbs to go to this month’s goal! Have to push harder!
    July 15: 158.6 - had a weekend where I just ate non stop. Saw 155.8 during the week but pretty ok with not seeing 160s again after a eat all in sight weekend.

    NO Ifs…….JUST WHENs

    I will be weighing on the 1st and last day of every month. 

    HIGHEST WEIGHT EVER: 253 IN 2014/2015
    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 235 ON 1/11/2018

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 196.4


    May 01: 196.4
    May 06: 195.0 That’s an improvement & right on target with my goals to lose 1.5 lbs per week (6 lbs per month).
    May 13: 192.7 Just after my Birthday & Mother’s Day celebrations. So I’m very pleased with this.
    May 20: 194.1
    May 27: 194.3 A slight tick up. Working on it this week & in a very good place physically & mentally. I hope to see more loss in the next couple of days in spite of the Holiday BBQ & festivities.

    June 10: 194.2
    June 17: 198.4 Too much travel
    June 24: 196.4 Okay, its finally going back down & all the good planning is paying off! I’m back to day 1. Here’s to going the right way this time on the scale! I’m changing my goals because what I had is impossible (safely), and I need something I can actually reach for. I am still sticking to my 6 lb per month wish.
    June 30: 196.0

    June Goal: 195.0
    June Actual: 196.0
    June Loss/Gain: 0.4 Gain

    July 01: 194.6
    July 08: 195.9 Dang Holiday!
    July 15: 195.8 A setback this past week but back on top of things and down 0.1 over last week {which is better than nothing!) Next weigh in is just after a huge lakeside birthday party for DGS. I am going to change the weigh-in date so I have time to recover & reflect true weight, not bloat and water weight from carbs!

    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 161.8

    May 6: N/A
    May 13: N/A
    May 20: 161.8
    May 27: 158.2 (3.6 lbs down -- I buckled down this week and apparently it worked! :D)

    May Goal: 159
    May Actual: 158.2

    June 1: 160.8 (+2.6 lbs -- Sigh. :( Almost back to where I started -- not good! Time to get serious in June!)
    June 8: 159 (-1.8 lbs -- Yay! Movement in the right direction! :D
    June 15: 159.4 (+0.4 lbs -- Ugh. Thanks TOM! Sigh.)
    June 22: 160.2 (+0.8 lbs -- I was expecting this. I drank last night, which I normally don't on Fridays. And this week has literally been hell at work. Once next week finishes, things at work will finally normalize and I can start refocusing on my weight. For now, I'll just be happy my clothes still fit. :)
    June 29: 162.2 (+2 lbs -- Wow. So, I obviously f****d up this week. It's been a bad, stressful month, and this week was the worst part of it, so there was a lot of bad eating. I also ate a lot of sodium Friday, so that didn't help. Time to get serious, buckle down and get real in July.

    June Goal: 156
    June Actual: 162.2

    July 6: 162 -- Yay! Tiny movement in the right direction, but movement nonetheless. :)
    July 13: 159.8 -- MUCH better! :D
    July 20: 159.8 -- I'll take it! I had to manage a multi-day conference for work at the beginning of the week, so I had to eat out a bit more than I'm used to. Maintaining for me this week is a total win!
