The end of the month is here! Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and listened to my weird ramblings. I hope to see you in the August thread!
Starting Weight: 187.4 lbs Avg Weight for Week One: 186.2 lbs
Avg Weight for Week Two: 185.4 lbs
Avg Weight for Week Three: 185.3 lbs
Avg Weight for Week Four: 184.8 lbs
Avg Weight for Final Days: 185.3 lbs Total July Loss: 2.1 lbs
I'm happy that I reached my goal, but a little disappointed in the final days section. I decided to be honest and mark the weight I was at yesterday instead of averaging it out, I need to stay accountable and not rig my weigh ins just for a challenge - this is a journey to be accountable no matter what! With that and my weigh in today, a lovely 184.6 lbs (1.4 lb drop) my average for final days and my last weight for July was 185.3 lbs. Although I just reached my goal, I'm proud of myself for learning a lot about what I need to do to continue this journey and also for keeping up with my workouts. Usually by now I would've skipped something, made an excuse, then been inactive for another few months. The fact I've been consistent for 2 weeks and show no signs of giving up into week 3 has me feeling confident I can lose this weight!

Congratulations to everyone who met goal or came close. But also congratulations to those who weren't close but moved in the right direction, or made good healthy choices, or successfully changed a behavior they wanted to adjust. Success comes in more forms than just the scale, and it is important to remember that.
So Sorry to both yangtzer and Jeanex for the rough months you've had.

That ending to the month makes this my 2nd best month overall so far. Not bad at all. Hoping August is as good.
Great job to all of us for working out way through the month of July and I hope to see everyone plus some new faces in next month's thread?
I haven't been on the last few days, with working extra days and not being able to work out yet. I went to see the doctor finally and she made some changes on my medications and I am finally feeling better so I am hoping to be able to start working out again today and maintaining it again. I know that really helps with my successs. I did bump up the last few days but since I didn't work last night and really stayed on plan I thankfully ended July just past my goal! Looking forward to continuing the pattern for next month.

Congrats to everyone who made their goals this month! And, to Jeanex, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing...I've been there. Big hugs to you.

Checking in with my month overview...I ended up only showing a 1.8 lb loss for the month overall, which was much less than my 5.6 lb goal. However, considering that I had to battle an 8 lb gain from vacation, I think I'll just be happy that I ended on a loss at all! I'm moving forward from here and considering it a fresh start for August. See you all over on the next thread!

Oh Jeanex, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope to see you in the August challenge.
Yangtzer, I'm sorry life's been so tough lately! Best wishes for your parents and for you in your job hunt/new job. Kudos to you for being here and back in the game.
