August 01: 202.0 Where am I going to go with this? To the Moon, Alice! (The Honeymooners, Sorry, I’m showing my age!) I feel good about this round.
August 08: 195.8 I have worked hard this past week & am keeping the slip-ups more in control. However, I’ll never be perfect so I am just happy to continue the losses, no matter how big or small! This week was a good week.
August 15: 195.4. I’m grinning ear to ear to see continued downward trend. Hard work is paying off!
August 22: 196.2 Went up higher yet, but I’ve dropped it back down a bit. On my way to better, bolder, brighter, beautiful!

September 26: 196.6 Travel again, home last night, bad weigh-in today & lack of movement in car. More travel today. I hope to lose this water retention this week & be back at home in my “safe zone” where sticking to plan is much easier!

By October I hope to lose the last 8-10 pounds and be in maintenance. I have been doing this for a year now and assumed I would already be there, but alas I am still working on it. So good luck everyone! My weigh in days will be every Saturday. They seem to be my best days and the lowest.
Challenge Starting Weight: 143.7
Challenge Level: 2 (technically my goal is to lose 8.7 pounds)
Challenge Goal weight: 135
08/01: 143.7 I think this is a little higher than it should be, but we are starting here.
08/03: 142.2 I've been here for a couple of days now, hoping for a loss next week
08/10: 139.6 this seems super low today. It will probably bounce up a bit, but I’m happy with it today
08/17: 142.1 I have not been doing great this last week. Monday I’m back on track I matter what.
08/24: 142.1 same as last week but that’s ok. The last couple of weeks I have not been on my best game!
8/31: In Texas to deal with husbands dad’s stuff
Total Loss For August:143.6 = a loss of 0.1 pound (not a great month, lol)
9/01: In Texas NS
09/07: 143.8 I’m on a diet break right now so this is pretty good
09/14: 143.2 Just getting back into the swing of things. Looking to finish strong and around 141.xxxx
09/21: 143.7 was a lot lower yesterday, but ate Chinese for lunch. Sodium I am sure
09/28: 140.9 super excited about this. Have seen this number a couple of times before. Hoping it will stick
09/30: 140.9b I am going with Saturday and Sundays number. Today was 145.9 beer and lots of it yesterday.
Total Loss For Sept: 140.9 = 2.7 pounds
Total Loss For Challenge: : 2.8 pounds
10/01:146.5 I changed up some medications and think this is just water retention. Hopefully it goes away soon.
