    6.28-165 guess its something
    7.5-166 tom
    7.12-168 i pulled a neck muscle last week so haven’t been able to do too much this week. Idk If it’s combo of that and the ibuprofen. Hope better weigh in next week

    I did not meet my goal but I did lose more than I thought I would.
    For that, I am more than happy and slowly, I am trying to drink 6 - 8 cups of water a day which is more than the usual 2 cups.

    On to the next challenge! Thanks everyone! <3

    MFP Starting Weight: 140 lbs - February 2011
    Current Starting Weight: 147 lbs - November 2017

    Challenge Starting Weight: 138 lbs
    Challenge Level 2 - 10 pounds ★★
    Challenge Goal Weight: 128 lbs
    Height: 5ft

    Ultimate Goal: 120 lbs

    Weigh-In Days: Mondays and Fridays

    May 3: 138
    May 6: N/A I had no scale and it was a part of my wedding weekend - no cares were given. <3
    May 10: 138.2
    May 13: 138.2
    May 17: 137.6
    May 20: 138.8
    May 24: 138.2
    May 27: 139
    May 31: 137.6
    Total loss for May: 0.4 lbs

    Thoughts for May: I did not reach my May goal but I try not to let that deter me from trying. A loss is better than a gain this month.

    June 3: 138.2
    June 7: 136.4
    June 10: 137.6 ( The last time I weighed in at this weight was Oct 2016. :o )
    June 14: 138.2
    June 17: 136.2
    June 21: 136
    June 24: 137
    June 28: 136.4
    Total loss for June: 1.2 lbs

    Thoughts for June:

    July 1: 138.2 at 8am
    July 5: 135.2 at 8am
    July 8: 135.2 at 5am
    July 12: 134.2 at 5am [ I haven't weighed this much since July 2016. ]
    July 15: 135.4 at 5am
    July 19: 134 at 5am
    July 22: 134.2 at 7am
    July 26: 133.4 at 7am
    July 29: 131.8 at 8am
    Total Loss for July: 4.6 lbs

    Thoughts for July: Welp, attempting to do a cardio challenge and completing 23 out of 31 days in July, really helped with my weight loss for the month. And I also started stricter calorie counting this month.

    Complete Loss for May, June and July: 6.2 lbs

    Starting date: 5/29/2019
    Ending date: 8/29/2019

    Challenge Starting Weight: 174
    Challenge Level: ***
    Challenge Goal weight: under 160

    05/29 - 174
    06/05 - 173 I'm doing a 5K race this Saturday and going on vacation on Sunday so the next weigh-in will be in two weeks. The goal is to not gain any weight.
    06/19 - 172.6 Slowly but surely I'm moving in the right direction. I had lots of yummy food on vacation yet stayed pretty active (tennis, weights, running, and swimming).
    06/26 - out of town, no scale.

    07/03 - 170.2 I'm happy with the results so far but I will have to push myself just a tad bit harder to meet my challenge goal.
    07/10 - 169 :smile: I have another 5K coming this Saturday 🏃🏻‍♀️ Today I feel especially good about the whole process 💪
    07/17 - 167.8 It was a great week for me: lots of workouts, healthy food choices, saying "no" to desserts, and being active through the day most days. All because of the race :blush: If only I could do this every week! :lol:
    07/24 - 167 Another good week. I'd like to incorporate more mobility work and weight training in the next few weeks.
    07/30 - 166.8 Slow progress is still progress :smile: Just one more month left!

    08/07 - 166 :sunglasses: Third and last (summer) 5K 's coming my way on Saturday 🏃🏻‍♀️ I'm very excited about this one. There's an easy run tomorrow if the weather allows but other than that all the training is done.

    There are not so many people left in this challenge. Congratulations to everybody who has stuck to their goals and (successfully) finished it!!! :star::star::star:

    The Aug, Sept & Oct (pick your difficulty) thread has already started. Here is the link below. This link is May, June, July (3 months). The August on this thread was an oopsie I think.
