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)

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!
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!

July 1: 204.2
July 2: 202.8 (Yes!!! Take that water weight with thee TOM!!)
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!

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!

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

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

BerryBB, looking good, still on fire!

thirti4thirti, congrats on the 2-lb loss!

Kym, every little bit counts! Keep it up!

Joy, good job!

Keli, yay! Keep those numbers rolling! :

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

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

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.
