    SW: 244.6 ( August 6, 2019)
    Mini goal - 215 ✔ 🥳💃
    New Mini Goal- 210
    GW:170

    8/3- 221.4
    8/10- 225.8
    8/17- 220.2
    8/24- 216.4
    8/31- 214

    9/7- 213.4

    I have been so frustrated here lately. My body keeps fluctuating between 211 and 213. I am so ready to get past 211 and move to the next level of weight flucations if that makes sense. I am thankful though that I have been on and off hitting 211.

    Congratulations on the loss and hitting a low of 211. YOU LOST 8lbs SINCE LAST MOTH!!!!! That is reason to celebrate!

    Have you been tracking everything? I find that when I get lazy with logging, I also get lazy with portions and my choices are not as great. I have also noticed that salt really plays a role for me. If I have a day with excess sodium even if everything else was perfect, I gain. Weight loss isn’t linear, we all have ups and downs. Keep tracking, drink lots of water, watch your sodium and that scale will start to trending down. You got this!

    To be fair, I set this goal the end of July. I’m thinking of resetting to 175 😳

    @azkunk -Thank you! I think the fluctuation has been from carbs and salt. But yes I have been logging everything and drinking lots
    of water.

    Stepped on the scale today and to my surprise it was 210.6!!!! I finally hit my 2nd mini goal! 🥳💃

    Going to watch what I eat closely so that I can get below that. My 3rd mini goal is going ro be 205.

    Well, the scale is up a couple ofpoints today but I forgot my blood pressure medicine yesterday which is a mild diuretic. I have already take it today and hope to see a better number tomorrow. I did have a NSV last night. I was in my closet and saw some fall/ winter clothes that I could not wear last year because they were too tight or way too tight. I was surprised that I was able to fit in to all of them. This gives me a lot of hope and opens up my closet for when the cool weather arrives which won’t be until November. Who knows, maybe those clothes will be too big by then.


    It’s so amazing when you can fit into older clothes. Can’t wait! Good job!!!

    Yay for the “new” wardrobe!!!! I can’t wait to get back home and see what “new” items fit, too!!

    Whoops! Sorry guys, I made a typo in writing my goals earlier. I meant to make my "mini GW" the same as my GW (136 lb).
