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.
July 11 - 160.9 - Flirting with that number again, hit it in May and June, expected to get into the 150s back in April. Really trying hard.
July 12 - 161.7
July 13 - 162.5 - Really feeling leaner for the most part this month, but have had quite a bit of stomach bloating over the last few weeks, with nothing but water so I am not really sure what to attribute it to. One glass of water to start the morning and I can blow up like a beach ball, and it is not soft. I have been drinking more than one glass of water starting in February, I get in 2 litres minimum a day now - although I still do not like water at all. I definitely do not like the bloating. Our bodies are made of salt and water, so it doesn't really make sense.
July 14 - 162.7
July 15 - 163.4 - Dang
July 17 - 161.9
July 18 - 161.3 - getting hopeful : - )
July 19 - 162.1
July 20 - 160.4
July 21 - 159.9 - Well, that is a first! I fluctuate quite a bit usually, but I am very happy to have touched this number.
July 22 - 159.7
July 23 - 161.2 - No reason for the gain, I have been on track. Maybe just too early in the morning.
July 24 - 160.3 - Okay. I'm sure that I went through this trying to get out of the 180s and 170s. I feel close to getting out of the 160s, but it sure is work.
July 25 - 160.6 - 161 was the 30lb loss mark, so far to go still, and jumping all around, I was around this weight on July 4th.
July 26 - 160.2
July 27 - 160.8
Running loss/gain: Loss 2.32 -
I wont be able to do weigh in this week. I had knee surgery on fri. Only to touch weight bearing. But I did weigh on Friday morning if that counts. I was 234.65

Tomorrow's weigh will really tell how much damage that I did. I have to do normal things once in awhile, but did try to have only half of what others were having.
Running loss/gain: Loss 1.83 -
Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
June 30 starting weight - 148.2 (ten-day rolling average weight 145.5)
July goal - 143
Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148
I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).
June 30 - 148.2 (145.5)
July 7 - 148.0 (147.9)
July 14 - 146.4 (147.7) -- interpolated from July 11 and July 16 weight.
July 21 - 145.2 (146.0)
July 28 - 145.2 (145.1)
Total loss for July: The month is ALMOST over, and it looks like I am three pounds lighter by scale weight and almost a half pound when looking at my trend. I would like to be moving lower a little faster than that. At a half pound per month those last few pounds will take a long time to get rid of. At least it's going the right direction. But if I slice it differently, my trending weight is down over 2.5 pounds in the last two weeks. That's GREAT! And if I look back to the end of June and the beginning of July, I did have an increase that I let happen because I was having so much fun. That will probably happen again soon, so this week I plan to buckle down and stick with the program.

Happy Sunday!
My first and last check in of the month, I am here, just been busy and haven't posted.
Weight was up and down, saw 200.0 once, I didn't like that one bit, I think it was water retention, it had been really hot. Still pretty much stuck, but last week I broke my all-time most steps in a day, and I should have most steps in a month, or close to it. So I am still trying!
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018, post gallbladder surgery.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233.
Goal: 180 in however long it takes. And it's taking a LOT longer than I thought it would!
Weekly Averages:
July 1-7: 198.4
July 8-14: 198.5
July 15-21: 199.3
July 22-28: 198.5
Loss for July: 0.1 gain.
MFP Loss: 34.5 lbs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 44.5 lbs.
Move more, eat less.

29th- 164.4 lbs --> Did another maintenance week. I'm seriously considering reducing my weight loss goal to 0.5 lbs a week. I didn't want to do this until I reached 155 lbs but I don't know if I can last another 2.5 months with everything I have going on with grad school and work. Didn't quite reach my goal for July but at least I lost my pound a week.

Guys, I had reached my goal weight but after being here a couple weeks,...I'm actually not completely happy with where I'm at. I pretty much skipped June challenge because of this but I'm gonna be adding 4/5lbs to the August challenge. I see you guys are really doing amazing!! Keep it up, finish strong!!!!!!3 -
Meant skipped July*1

@dawnbgethealthy I understand what you mean when you want to try normal things every once in a while.
Everyone has a different metabolism and mine is slow as all get out. But here and there, I enjoy more ice cream than I should or that sugary drink or all those chips because well, I really wanted it. I'm glad I am not the only one.2 -

Just finishing TOM, looks like I will finish the month just under where I started which was my realistic goal for this month.
Getting in lots of workouts and physical work so I’m feeling strong and fit. I’m looking forward to checking my measurements in two days at final weigh in.
Ready for a new decade in August!!!3 -

@syreina
Yes, going out to eat is a big no-no for me and my slow metabolism, but saying no to invites just can't happen all of the time. Normal eating people don't understand how tight we all have to be with our food and calories. So I do agree to lunch or dinner out once in awhile and then pay for it on the scale. Pounds come and go, but we still have to have a life and not miss out on memories : - )2 -
