• July 30 - 205.6
• July 31 - 205.4 - Carb withdrawls head is killing me
• Aug 1 - 205.4 - See above
• Aug 2 - 205.6 - Headaches are gone! I've been good and haven't had anything I wasnt supposed too. I even drank my coffee with only half and half in it, no equal! Swapped out my 2nd 32oz of water for 32oz of powerade zero. I was drinking 96oz of water daily and I think that combined with not enough calories, not enough sodium and lack of sugar were what was giving me such a bad headache. So I'm still drinking 64oz of water plus 32oz of powerade. I'm gonna make an effort to get better about sodium and potassium though. I'm hoping for a drop in weight soon though.
• Aug 3 - 204.8 - We had take out for dinner last night. I had a lettuce wrapped burger. That plus all the other stuff I ate during the day got me almost to my daily calorie goal. Then I walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes. Still came in just under 20net carbs. I've lost a total of 10.2lbs since I started in late may, early June, with 7lb being within the last 2 months. It's nice to be in the double digits lost category. Can't wait till I get to 15lbs lost!
• Aug 4 - 202.8 - Woke up down another 2lbs. I didn't eat much yesterday but what I did eat, I logged. Was happy with the loss, but I'll see if it sticks in the morning. I have my whole week planned out and I'm hoping it will help keep continue to lose. I'll be over 20 net carbs a day some days, and will be closer to my 1520 daily calorie goal. My issue is getting potassium. I may need to start taking a multivitamin.1 -

Welcome! What is your mini goal for Labor Day and what specifically will you focus on?0 -
I had a good 3 days since weigh-in, then I was frustrated by Fitbit issues and insomnia last night which culminated in a mini binge. Regret has set in this morning. 😑
Back to the grind today! The stumble is just another opportunity to regain balance and never, ever, ever, quit!
Happy Monday friends!4 -

•Aug 5 - 202.0 - Yay! This may be a temporary new low, as I didn't eat much over the weekend, and what I did, did fall in the low carb category so that helped me a lot.
•Aug 6 - 202.6 - Went up a bit l, which was expected because I did eat more today than I have the past 2 days. Today will be a lower calorie day, but I'm still eating a bunch. I'm getting so close to onderland, I cant wait!2 -
so close to 240! I don't remember when I was last under 240, even though my licence says 230 (ha!).

Challenge weight change: -3.51 -
Woke up with a sore neck along with the rest of my body too. Probably overdid it on the weights yesterday, so ice and ibuprofen it is. Sticking to low-impact cardio today.
How is the challenge going for everyone??? I'm doing well with water intake and exercise, but still working on staying within my macros (especially sugar) and eating 1,700 or less calories. One day at a time.1 -
Hope the neck soreness goes away quickly. They are the worst.
I'm feeling good about the challenge so far. I've been hitting my goals as far as walking/running and I'm sticking to 1500 or less calories a day. I hate that I initially put on two pounds that I've had to fight to get off but at least now I'm under the weight I was at the beginning of the challenge. I swear it is two steps forward and one step back for me. As long as the scale keeps moving down I can't complain (even though I want to
) 1 -
I'm doing fine on 1100 calories a day. I'm very sedentary nursing a sore hip. But I am down to 164 so hitting 159 by Labor Day is possible! I just have to survive a BBQ lunch Friday and dinner at a music festival Saturday. The weekends are my huge challenge.1
-
I’m having a tough time as the is lots of pressure to have frequent meals and drinks with my extended family. Trying hard to reconcile vacation mode with diet discipline.1
-
I'm doing pretty good. I did "mess up" my ketoing and had a bagel today. Do I regret it? Nope. Did I enjoy it like I thought I would? Not really. I'm still under 75g net carbs for the day, so that's good. Down at 202.0 again. I saw 201 for a fraction of a second this morning and that made me happy.1

A little disappointed in only a half pound loss this week, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. Had an inexplicably big loss (5.5 lbs) the week before so was sort of expecting this. Still plugging away...1 -

Good update! Looks like you're weighing in every day, is that something you always do?
Onederland is right around the corner!!!0 -

It was a tough day, I ended up icing then using a heating pad. It's a little better this morning. I did get 8 hours of sleep last night which is a lot for me! More low-impact cardio today, then hopefully tomorrow I'll feel good enough to get a dumbbell workout done.
I admire you for sticking to 1500 or less calories a day. I'm still struggling some days to stay under 1700. I totally feel the two steps forward one step back roller coaster. We just gotta keep pushing, and like in your case it will pay off on the scale!1 -

Wow! 1100 calories would have me trying to eat the carpet! I see 159 in your very near future! Great job!0 -

That was July for me, full of visits from family and way too much food and drinks. Luckily I didn't gain, but only lost 1 lb the whole month! Sometimes life just happens, huh?0 -

Bagels are yummy, but when they aren't as yummy as they should be that is a disappointment! Great job on the scale!0 -
Scale is a bit stuck, but I am still working at it.
I need to increase my activity. I gotta get it done everyday!!!!! Once I go back to work in early September it will be even tougher to do.
8/1 weight in - 147.2
8/8 weigh in - 147.2. (no movement)
Goal for Labor Day - 140.
Probably not going to happen but I'll take a 5 lb loss by then.

I'm actually excited for tomorrow's weigh-in. I think I'll see a loss. I've already told hubby we have to have a very healthy dinner tonight because I have to log my weight tomorrow. 1

Scales are fickle, so always take what they say with a grain of salt. I weigh-in tomorrow and I kinda hate the idea. 😑1 -
