    I don't know why I can't do better than this. I just hover around 230ish back and forth. Well, I know why, I do ok, then overeat, and back and forth. Summer has always been an issue for me. When it's hot, I don't feel like doing much, so I eat and don't think about the cals - yet I know counting cals works. Ice cream. Who has half a cup as the suggested serving size?! LOL.

    I struggle with ice cream big time! Luckily, the basement gym stays at about 60 degrees all year round, so I make myself work out more to earn some extra ice cream lol

    I LOVE ice cream but we make it ourselves from frozen bananas. Not super low calorie but:

    1. Crazy delicious
    2. Portion controlled (you have to eat it as soon as you make it so you’re limited to what you just made
    3. No weird additives, preservatives etc
    4. You can experiment with what ingredients you like. I like bananas, vanilla and a dash of almond milk but my husband likes cinnamon in his. Blueberries are also a fantastic addition when in season.

    I have to admit though my serving is a lot bigger than half a cup :-)

    Hmm, I’m better with ice cream than I thought! I have small dessert bowls that are one cup when filled to the brim. With ice cream that doesn’t fit every corner even in the bottom and doesn’t fill it like liquid, I might be closer to half a cup than I thought. That doesn’t account for second servings...

    My weight just Does. Not. Go. Down. Today it’s probably just carb bloat + doms bloat after the acrobatics class, but still. Anyway, my scale calculates body fat percentage and that’s been coming down slowly. So I calculated, and according to my scale I’ve at least lost a pound of fat during all this yo-yoing while staying the same weight. I’m definitely taking the fat percentage with a grain of salt, but still.

    I’m getting a body composition test done in exactly two weeks, I’m kinda excited and nervous.

    Goodbye 38D... hello 36C 😞

    The same thing happens to me. It’s the ONLY place I want to keep the fat and it’s the first place I lose it. 🥺

    I am 0.2 lbs from being 75% to goal. Could not work up a poop or even pee again. I tried! HAHAHAHA

    I am traveling home this weekend, so posting early again. I am very happy with my progress lately. I have not been in the 180s since April of 2018. I am quite pleased with myself.

    Great work. You should definitely be pleased with yourself. I only joined in August but this month you are killing it.

    I need to learn patience. I’m about to jump on the walls because my weight won’t go down fast enough, even though it has every reason not to: I have sore muscles, have been averaging above my calorie goal, started a new sport, had a crazy week at work, didn’t get enough sleep and stopped taking the pill just last week so my hormone levels are readjusting.

    Through all this, I’m still losing weight veeeeery slowly and I just hit the 95s (211.4, more precisely) on the scale for the first time. Unless I magically whooosh several pounds for tomorrow (on top of already losing 2,2lbs since Thursday) I won’t reach my pledge of 211.5lbs trendweight tomorrow.

    Crazy busy at work. I normally work a 4 day week. Today will be #7 of 9 straight days. 10 - 12 hrs/day. I'm a bit tired but exhilarated at the same time. Most days I don't even have time for lunch. You'd think I'd lose more - but - I'm OK with anything as long as it continues creeping downwards.
