gosh, what's this July nonsense? I hadn't hardly really finished with June even, yet.
(rearrange the words to make a sentence)

Been overseas for a couple of weeks and got back Sunday night. It wasn't a total disaster but I definitely didn't do myself any favours whilst i was away either, with drinking alcohol most days and eating too many puddings whilst in hotels! So I've not dared to weigh in yet, but have been back to sensible stuff since I got back, and been to the gym each morning since then. I also managed to get out running every day of the last week, so feel ok about the exercise side. Not committing to a kg target for July yet as I need to know where I am first. Maybe tomorrow i'll 'accidentally' stand on the scales and take it from there?!…..

ok, got on the scales. It's pretty much the same as it's been the last few months at 114.2. I was probably a touch dehydrated so it might be a flattering number but i'm very happy with it considering my recent indulgencies. Seems impossible to lose at the moment even when I feel i'm being quite restrictive with my diet, but happily i'm not gaining stupidly either when I flip the other way, so lets see if I can just discipline myself enough to do all this hovering at a couple of lbs less instead! Easier said than done somehow.

Joy - i'm going to go for 1lb in July - target 113 (and then another 1lb in August - the plan here is to lose 1kg before my holidays in September (although I have a 1 week holiday in August to negotiate along the way!)

Really going nowhere! Need to up my game...

Newlyn: I know exactly how you feel. I've been going practically nowhere the last 2 months. I need to step up my game, too

ange: Welcome back. Sounds to me like 114 is your new set point, and your body is fighting to stay there. Way to go. Once that happens, it is far less likely that you will revert to being overweight again.

gardenerjoy: Until you posted that list, I didn't realize we had so few this month. Come back everyone

Total Loss for Week Two:

The last 3 days have been pretty awful on the weight loss front. I was weighing in 2 hours early, going in to work for 10 or 11 hours, and then coming home too tired to cook anything, and it is my most stressful time with deadlines, so I always retain water during those days. So even though the scale numbers looked terrible, there was a reason why. I did try to make good choices, but I ended up eating canned chili one night, which isn't that unhealthy, but is a TON of sodium, which didn't help with water retention, and I ate a ton of fruit instead of so many veggies, as there is less prep involved (for the ones I eat anyway), so that was more sugar than usual. Still, today, I'm almost back down to where I started the week. Hopefully it will be onward and downward for me for the rest of the month. I'm still hoping to squeak out some loss for the week.
