kurisitaru My graph often shows that i'll go up and down most of the time and be losing weight slowly through this process (i'm currently in this stage) and then i might have a medium woosh that's followed by a small gain and/or maintaining.

I'm hoping I can join in the August challenge, even though a week late. I was a regular participant in 3FC and this challenge last year, but dropped off the board due to health issues. Over the past six months, I've undergone surgery and, regrettably, gained 25 lbs :( However, I'm determined to get back on track and, since this challenge helped me before, I'm hoping it helps again.

I started off August at 165 and I'm hoping to get down to 155 by the end of the month. As of this morning, I was down to 163...so a reasonably good start!

Welcome back, Tuscany! Great to see you here.

Thanks for the welcome, Joy!

I was at a work social function last night, but I managed to behave myself and, as a result, I saw a small loss this morning. :)

Start Weight: 297.4
Goal Weight: 289.0

I'm going to start weighing daily. Except for travel days. I'll be out of town August 1-4, and August 16-15. So, my goal is probably a bit ambitious. But we'll see! :)

July 31 - 297.4

August 7 - 297.4 (0)
August 8 - 296.2 (-1.2)

I think the water from travels has mostly whooshed away, and I'm about where I need to be. :)

I skipped my work out the other day which made me feel bad... and then I binged, because that solves the problem right? At least I didn't induce vomiting again, slowly breaking bad habits, one day I'll get this.

My scales showed a 2.25 lb drop this morning...woohoo! However, I weighed myself a few hours later than normal (since I slept in a bit), and that might have been part of the reason. We shall see whether the loss remains tomorrow morning, when I will be up at the normal time. Here's hoping!

Marina_Brasil: yep. One of the things I discovered when I quit overeating was that some days are hungrier than others. Who knew? I often just tell myself that and it makes it easier to stick to my plan. Occasionally, I'll allow an extra small snack -- something that I might have planned had I known I was going to be hungry.

Ha! I misread the scale yesterday because I was so sure that I gained. In fact, I lost and today, with yesterday's extra-effort. I met my goal! But I'm setting another one because I want to keep going this month. I would love to get down to 80, this month, so I'm going for another 1.9 kgs.

Congratulations, to me! And setting a new goal for the rest of the month.

gardner joy I also found out about hungrier days after I controlled my binging but I still don't know why they happen. I'll binge from time to time, but it's not that usual anymore so i consider it under control. I still overeat, but i wouldn't call those binging episodes. I'll follow your tip and have extra snacks for my hungry days, because I know it wouldn't work for me to feel hungry and eat nothing extra. I migh consider eating at maintenance mode or close to that when those days come by. Oh, and congrats on your weight loss! :carrot:
