Geez I hated to log this weight. No way in heck i ate 7000 calories worth of food this week
I have not been eating much, and drinking virtually zero water.
Yesterday I finally joined the gym, and I drank water like it was my job, so I'm saying water weight..which is still frustrating to see your goal number go.
Thank goodness there are 3 more days of redemption left this month...

[noshoes]

Only 1.2kg loss this month so far but I did go up and stagnate a little this month so a loss is a loss.

[kelijpa]

Kelijpd I should know about that water thing since I research the heck out of everything lol. Did 20 min strength and 50 min on the treadmill last night.. it was so hot in there i had beads of sweat on my shoulders!! Figured I would shed some water weight this morning but SURPRISE.... same weight. Oh well... tomorrow's another day!

[berryblondeboys]

Yesterday wasn't a fluke? Wow! Added another .3 to the loss, so I'm at 10.9. Ovulation must be delayed or nonexistent this month.... Never know what is going to happen these days - the fun of peri menopause.

[Sum38]

Well I saw my goal weight once this month, and slipped again The same pattern I had last month. -- Must do better next month. I hope I can drop 1.4 pounds by the 31st...that way I would show atleast a few pound loss for the month. Today I a fast day so I should see some sort of a downward movement for tomorrow's weigh in

--------------------

I'm in. My goal is to drop 8 pounds; Looks like a lot, but since I went on a week long binge and I am carrying a lot of bloat. I am hoping the first 4 pounds will drop off quickly.

Definitely cycle-related water weight, I think, since calories and exercise have all been on track.

[berryblondeboys]

I thought for sure I would see a gain today as these losses are so out of character for me. And when I stepped on the scale this morning, I thought it had gone up .2. Then I realized it actually went down .7. I definitely said an explicative! Wow! I even ate a hazelnut flour and chocolate meringue frosting cupcake last night (though accounted for in my calories).

SW: 233.0
GW: 226.0 (met 5/16)
Amended GW: 224.0 (met 5/23)

05/01: 233.0 (-0.0)
05/02: 234.0 (+1.0) Ovulation weight gain
05/03: 234.4 (+1.4) Ovulation weight gain
05/04: 235.1 (+2.1) Ovulation weight gain
05/05: 233.9 (+0.9) Starting to come down from Ovulation weight gain
05/06: 233.1 (+0.1) Can't wait to stop putting a PLUS in front of my totals!
05/07: 232.1 (-0.9) YAY!!!! First loss of this month!
05/08: 230.0 (-3.0) FINALLY dropping!
05/09: 228.9 (-4.1) Not sure how much "whoosh" is left for this post-ovulation thing.
05/10: 228.4 (-4.6) Let's see if I can lose 2.4 more pounds in 3 weeks. My body will stall out soon.
05/11: 227.5 (-5.5) totally shocked by this
05/12: 228.9 (-4.1). This is how I know I'm carb sensitive 1.4 pound gain from a slice of pie and a scoop of ice cream for Mother's Day.
05/13: 228.0 (-5.0) Lost .9 of that 1.4 pound carb weight gain.
05/14: 227.1 (-5.9) lost the rest of the water weight and added .4 of new loss
05/15: 226.4 (-6.6) woohoo only .4 to go for the month to reach goal!
05/16: 226.0 (-7.0) I made my goal!!!!!! Yay!!!! Phew... as I know the monthly stall-out should be here in the next day or two! (starting with my period).
05/17: 225.6 (-7.4) bonus ounces!
05/18: 225.9 (-7.1) monthly visitor should be here any minute (I think... darn perimenopause!)
05/19: 225.4 (-7.6) Period started. Yay for regularity.
05/20: 225.5 (-7.5) SOOOOO happy that I'm not getting a lot of water weight gain with AF.
05/21: 224.1 (-8.9) Eek! Wow gardening is a great way to drop weight!
05/22: 224.5 (-8.5) I knew that huge drop had to be a fluke, but glad it didn't go up much!
05/23: 223.7 (-9.3) Unbelievable really. I've never lost this much in a month EVER before.
05/24: 223.6 (-9.4) So expected it to bounce up this morning, as this can't be real?
05/25: 223.7 (-9.3) Yep... Monthly stall out is beginning.
05/26: 223.3 (-9.7) close to 10 lbs, but it will start to climb as I near ovulation.
05/27: 224.0 (-9.0) and as predicted, climbing as I near ovulation - day 9
05/28: 222.4 (-10.6) OMGosh! I did it! NEVER have I lost 10 pounds in a month!
05/29: 222.1 (-10.9) guess ovulation is delayed this month with these losses!
05/30: 221.3 (-11.7). #%¥*€£???? What???

[kelijpa]

tinajayne, I've noticed it takes my body a couple days to get back on track when I don't hydrate, not sure if it was always like that, I did weights yesterday too, I don't think that helps with the whoosh, but makes me feel smaller...

So close to my goal! I don't expect to lose it by tomorrow, but I will weigh-in anyway, just in case. I'm still very pleased since I had a slow start, made some changes mid-month and loss most of that weight in the past two weeks. Plus. I managed to get to Onederland this month, and stay there!

Congrats to everyone who met their goals or lost this month!
