July 5 - 179 Here we go!
July 6 - 178 Yes!
July 7 - 177 Definitely keto works for me, weekends always are difficult to keep on track, but this Saturday wasn't ...I walked a lot and and only 15gr carbs all day.
July 8 - 176 Zero cravings this weekends...and a lot of exercise.. Yay Keto!... Can't believe I'm 1 lbs away from my MGW
July 9 - 175 YAY This was thanks to Keto, I think I'm gonna push myself to loose another 3 pounds this month. (172 lbs) (probably one more week in Ketosis, then just low carb.. around 50-80gr daily,now I'm around 15gr a day)
July 10 - 175 I had a difficult day at work....and around 10pm I just needed sugar, so I ate 8 cookies... BYE KETOSIS
July 11 - 175 It's ok.....
July 12 - 175
July 13 - 🐷 lots of cookies

Starting weight: 85kg
Start weight this month: 79.9kg
Goal weight this month: 76kg
Target goal weight: 66kg

July 1 - Joined on Day 2 so didn’t weigh
July 2 - 79.9kg
July 3 - 79.2kg
July 4 - 79.2kg
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 17 - 76.7kg!!!
July 18 - 77.9kg - Still digesting late dinner
July 19 - 76.6kg
July 20 - 77.1kg
July 21 - 78.2kg Big cheat day yesterday with a late final meal, so this isn’t surprising. Also worked out for 2.5 hours total, so hoping this comes off fairly quickly.
July 22 - 78.2kg Fun with fluid retention!
July 23 - 77.7kg Looking lean in the mornings, despite the fluctuations. Still eating majority of my food at dinner, which affects my weigh-ins. Been working out hard and my endurance boxing on the heavy bag has markedly improved. For the first time, it really does feel like the number on the scale is just part of the story.

Starting weight: 180
Start weight this month: 152.8
Goal weight this month: 146
Target goal weight: 125 (pre-pregnancy weight)

Struggling with pregnancy weight for past 2 years. Been stuck at the 155 range for the past year and a half.

Day/Weight/Comment
July 1 - 152.8 lbs
July 2 - 152.8 lbs
July 3 - 151.9 lbs - hope all this is not just water weight.
July 1 – 152.8 lbs – fell off the wagon and binged on carbs – going to be stuck for a while
July 5 – 152.8
July 6 – 152.8
July 7 – 152.8 (Arghhh – one week in this is not going as expected)
July 8 – 151.9 – at this rate, I will settle for just getting under 150 this month.
July 9- 151.9
July 10- 150.6 - TOM yesterday. May explain the stall last week. Doubt I'll achieve my target but keep trying.
July 11- 150.4 - if only weight gain came on so slowly.
July 12 - 150.4 - not gaining, at least that's something
July 13 - 148.8 Yay! - That was a pleasant surprise. Had to step on the scale 3 times to make sure!
July 14 - 149.9 - like a roller coaster. Ate a lot of salty snacks yesterday, so hoping this is mostly water.
July 15 - 149.7 - nope, not just water 2 weeks in and have lost 3 lbs. Slow but not bad.
July 16 - 149.6 - Had to change the scales last evening. Old one died. Doesn't seem to be much of a difference.
July 17 - 149.6 - And the struggle continues....
July 18 - 148.8
July 19 - 149.6
July 20 - 149.0 - This is getting depressing.
July 21-148.8 - Hardly any loss, but no gain I guess I should he happy. I'd settle for just one more lb this month.
July 22 - 149.2- Spoke too soon
July 23 - 150 lbs - I just want to say f*** it. I am not eating more so I don't know what the heck is happening.

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.
July 16 - 124.8 I am sure this was water weight but love seeing scale move in right direction. I need to learn to manage my calories better but mistake last night in opposite direction, over 200 calories short. So had a chocolate banana collagen smoothie, delicious. Hope I make that mistake more often now.
July 17 - 124.8 54 Is to old to still be visited by TOM anymore... Have not used MFP while tracking during TOM and at my age nothing is normal so not sure what to expect. I should just be relieved I stayed the same- but ate almost identical calories yesterday as day before so had my hopes up I would be a few ounces less.
July 18 - 124.4 Yeah! Trying the slow steady lose is hard mentally but I know the best way. Still really challenged managing my food, hopefully I can better distribute my calories thru out the day today.
July 19 - 123.6 Yeah!
july 20- 125
July 21- 125
July 22- 126
July 23- 123.4 Wow all over the place...wondering if alcohol consumption makes you retain water? Enjoyed my weekend both kids home, but what a scorcher! Very limited outside activities, my husband and I usually enjoy riding our bikes impossible to do with over 100 heat index. Daughter had her wisdom teeth removed yesterday so took my first rest day in a long long time...Honestly did not understand or believe the need for them (I am wrong about so much and have learned so much from the posts on this site). Wow then dropped probably water weight but also a little more weight.

Don’t get discouraged the scale can be your worst enemy sometimes or your best friend. I have three 😬 don’t give up
