Great day so far. Immediately after getting ready this morning I actually went out and ran my errands right away. I even went clothes shopping and the biggest NSV of all...NO FITTING ROOM MELTDOWNS!!! I didn't buy anything, but that was more because they either weren't the price I wanted or didn't have the styles I was looking for. And then another big NSV because when I was done I was starving but still had grocery shopping to do. I stuck to everything on my list and only strayed on a couple of items but they weren't unhealthy items, just on sale.

One week check in. Well, the water weight is coming off. I had an uptick on the scale at the end of last month, so 2 of the pounds are pounds that I had already lost and then gained with my weird pattern of my menstrual cycle (gaining and holding water for 2 weeks of my cycle near ovulation).

So, you will probably see LOTS of losses for another week, and then I'll hold steady (mostly) for the remaining two weeks - if my same pattern holds!

Start weight: 242.4
Goal weight: 232.4

01: 242.6 (+0.2)
02: 242.1 (-0.3)
03: 241.4 (-1.0)
04: 239.8 (-2.6)
05: 239.1 (-3.3)
06: 238.8 (-3.6)
07: 237.1 (-5-3)

One week after the beginning of the challenge: I'm doing fine. Had TOM this first week, but I managed to drop 2 lbs.

Sine my month is going to be tom-less I can really focus on the remaining 9 lbs for the month.

There is something nice about being on the lower half of the 190s. Whenever I reach a 4.5 I find it satisfying because it means I'm that much closer to being down under another 10.

Being good so have faith the scale will move :)

Good morning girls! Everyone is doing so well! :carrot:
Still plugging along, had some tacos yesterday from one of my favorite places and was disappointed. They didn't taste nearly as good as I remember. Thankfully I stayed under calories, so it wasn't a complete loss. On the upside, I love my new tattoo! :D

July 3: 203.2 Come on man!*
July 4: no clue, was at a hotel without a scale
July 5: 205.6 (GNO bit me in the butt! I drank too much wine and retained like a camel!)
July 6: 202.8 (drank a gallon of water, and flushed all the retention out--whew!!)
July 7: 202.2c
July 8: 200.6

Not going to get too attached to that number...big losses like this tend not to stick, so if it's still there tomorrow, then I'll do a happy dance. ;)

Have a great day ladies! Be sure to drink your water!

Woohoo! I am down 1.5 lbs today, only 1 lb away from my mini-goal! :dance:

Pigeon, there's still a lot of time left, but as we go along if you find your goal is too ambitious, you can always change it, but I think you have a good shot at making it! Congrats on being a lb down from yesterday! :yay:

Magistra, your weight is doing that back and forth thing, which means you are probably in for a steady drop soon! :flow2:

Leah, woot woot on the NSVs! Those are so fun! And you are killing it on the scale! :bravo:

BerryBB, looking good, still on fire! :flame:

thirti4thirti, congrats on the 2-lb loss! :broc:

Kym, every little bit counts! Keep it up! :cp:

Joy, good job! :spin:

Keli, yay! Keep those numbers rolling! :goodscale:

Purple, good for you! I have my fingers crossed for downward weigh-ins! :crossed:

Sandye, woohoo! You are on the verge of Onederland! You are rocking it! :dancer:

Thanks for the good luck Jacqui D - think it worked ;)

iDream - love the excitement of a new tattoo! Glad you love yours :)

Am working today so a long day, with aching feet by the end of it. Did a boxfit exercise class last night which is fun.. sweaty and hard work but fun! :) Hope you all have a great day.
