Lose 20lbs by Dec. 1st Accountability Buddies

I’ve lost 10 lbs over the past 2 months and am worried about keeping going when school,starts back up in August. This sounds like a perfect challenge for me!
CW 261.9
GW 240 (or less!)
W1 8/4: 256.4. Depression has been hitting hard the past few days, making it very difficult to stay active. Still, down 5.5 lbs in 9 days is an amazing start.
W2 8/11: 252.4 All summer I’ve been “officially” weighing myself after I workout as the number was 2-3 lbs lihter than right when I woke up and made me feel better. I realized this past week that he difference was just water, and that with school starting back up I will be swtiching from morning to afternoon workouts, so that model just wouldn’t work anymore anyway. Today was the first day I “offcially” weighed before working out. I expected a number in the 255s, as that was my preworkout weight all week, so the 252 was a pleasant surprise. Down 4lbs since last checkin, 9.5 since starting weight for this challenge, 19.5 total (since may 23).
W3 8/18: 257.6 Last week was a fluke, and today is a salt issue. I was in the 254-255s all week and jumped this morning, which makes sense after tacos and margaritas last night. I didn’t work out the 3 days I worked except for a 40 minute walk during a lunch break on Monday. Tomorrow we will be sitting in a meeting all day, so that will be another low burn day. I have to get better about my food logging and actually weigh things, because I’m not going to have the same opportunity to run now that school is back on.

I just have to comment: 1 lb a week is not a bad thing!
You should congratulate rather than criticize yourself, IMHO. If you scroll through our challenge you will see that most people lose 1 to 1.5 lbs per week - some stay the same or even gain a bit. One thing I find helpful about this challenge is seeing that for all of us -- it is not just me -- success is slow and incremental. Sure, it's inspiring to go browse the Success Stories pictures and descriptions -- there you will see incredible feats of weight loss and the side-by-side before/after makes it look like the success was instantaneous. But if you read the stories carefully it is clear that it actually took the successes a long time to reach their goals.
Anyhow -- good luck this week from a fellow tortoise. Slowly but surely we can reach this Dec 1 goal!
