    @raleighgirl09 Wow, 4lbs down is awesome!

    @mrmcgrath hope you were able to get that exercise in!

    @digger61 swimming and hiking sounds like wonderful ways to exercise!

    @AustinRuadhain You're getting in great exercise and doing amazing at reaching your goals!

    @Wishusdonna your food sounds delicious!

    @Fleetwood1 don't be too hard on yourself, the scale will move back down! You got this!

    @TeresaW1020 Sounds like your muscles could be retaining water from all the work you've been doing. Great job maintaining!

    Thursday check in
    Calories over
    Exercise lower body weights, elliptical

    Today calories hopefully under
    Exercise strength class and elliptical

    This trip is kicking my butt when it comes to my diet! Tomorrow we're touring a chocolate factory so I need to save some calories for that, plus I'm going to a concert in the night so have no clue what I'll be grabbing for dinner. Gym is going well, I enjoyed the strength training class and will do it again today.

    To our moderators: made a copy and paste error---need a correction in this week's Previous Weight: it is 152.5. NOT 153.6 (that PW was from the week before.) Sorry!!

    I am so thankful for all of my Slimpossible teammates!! For me ( and maybe others), it is so easy to slip when you are feeling that you’re on this tough road all by yourself. I’ve never felt alone for a moment here, and it helped me to stay on track. It was also fun to share some high points (like the day I hauled every single one of my oversized clothes to the Thrift Shop) with so many who could relate to my joy that day.
    On to August!

    Oh God! A chocolate factory tour! Good luck! A friend came over for a visit on our holiday. Had some dreaded baked goods and a couple of sangria drinks. Gotta get back on track today!

    I have the same experience. When I have an "I don't feel like it" day, I am inspired by everyone here being in action, and I keep going. And then, eventually, I feel like it again!
