    Sunday 6/30: 150.2

    July goal: 145.0

    Sunday 07/07: 148.8 (-1.4)
    Sunday 07/14: Traveling - no scale access
    Sunday 07/21: 149.8 (+1.0)
    Sunday 07/28:

    I had a gain during my travels; when I got home I was up almost 5 lbs, but it seems to have been mostly water weight as it started dropping immediately once I got back to my normal routine. I know I won't hit my July goal of 145, but I am feeling pretty good right now.

    ALSO! On Thursday, I defended my dissertation and now have my PhD in cognitive neuroscience. :D It was funny; on the morning of my defense, I was getting dressed and grabbed my size 10 dress pants that were so tight back in April. I put them on and they were so big I couldn't wear them without looking ridiculous. Fortunately, I found a pencil skirt I had planned to donate to Goodwill. It was also too big and I had to pay attention to it since it kept rotating around my waist, but it worked well enough to get my though my defense.

    Post defense photo of my advisor and me as a newly minted Dr.

    @booksnbrains Congratulations to the New Dr. in the house. Great job in the weight loss, it looks like you had a great month :)

    @leahk80 Congratulations on hitting the first goal!! I did the same that you did. The scales was showing a lb gained and I was no way. I waited one day and now back to normal. The scale lies sometimes, either way you are doing great :)
