Not a great start at all. The 2nd was just a normal fluctuation but the 3rd's weigh in was because I ate really poorly yesterday. I am more disappointed that I ate poorly despite being full at the time. I am not sure when I will learn.
Just a quick check-in since I forgot to do everything yesterday! Hope everyone is doing well.
Weigh-in was 224.4 today, but we're having a birthday party for our youngest who just turned 3 today - complete with pizza and the cake - so, I am expecting a gain tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too bad, and I will focus on drinking some water today to mitigate some of the damage...wish me luck! Haha.

Beanisdead you're probably super close to or at your goal weight (your height isn't posted in your info, so I'm just guessing) and that makes it so hard to lose. Don't be too hard on yourself!
My goal for July is to lose 4 pounds, so from 331.2 to 327.2. Not a lot, but my doctor is switching some of my meds around, and I don't know how that will affect my weight loss. Also, I just started strength training again, and I think maybe gaining some muscle mass may cause the scale to move slower. I should probably do measurements.
July 3: 331.2
July 10: 330.2
July 17: 326.6
= 4.6 pounds lost!
So it's always been really frustrating for me to not see the scale change when I know I'm eating right and exercising right. No change on the scale again this morning (hey at least I'm not gaining??) but I did want to post a Non-Scale Victory. I have a shirt in my closet that for a long time through college was my favorite shirt, but a few years ago I had to stop wearing it because it's been too tight from gaining weight back. After my walk and shower this morning before going to brunch with a couple friends, I put the shirt on. And it fit. And not just in a "it's still a bit too tight but I can make it work" way. It fit the way it's supposed to. I almost cried just out of joy for feeling like I'm doing something right. I think it's easy for all of us to feel discouraged if we are going off of just what the scale says, but the scale isn't always giving the whole picture. I hope everyone has an amazing day, and keep working hard!
