SW: 143.6
GW:135 <-- this is aggressive but I think I can do it.

6/1 - 143.6
6/2 - 144.0
6/3 - NWI
6/4 - NWI
6/5 - 144.0
6/6 - 142.0
6/7 - 142.2
6/8 - 144.2 <--- YIKES. I really hope this is because of TOM. Otherwise I was really good over the weekend. Other than a few extra snacks, I stayed on plan. Plan on being more than strict this week.... on extra snacks, NO SODA (this is my kryptonite and how I "treat" myself sometimes, but not this week!).

I REALLY want to get below 140 this week. I thought it was possible when I was at 142, but now that I jumped to 144, who knows.

Have a great week everyone!

Lowest weight in May: 107.3, from Wednesday, May 20

Last official weigh-in: 110.15, from Saturday, May 30 (after six up days in a row )

STARTED 1200 CALORIE A DAY DIET

6/1 - 108.45
6/2 - 108.75
6/3 - 108.35
6/4 - 107.9
6/5 - 107.45
6/6 - Total fast - gave up caffeinated coffee last week, so just had unlimited water and herbal tea. :D

Official weigh-in, Sunday, June 7: 106.7

I've switched from two up days per week to one, so we'll see what effect that has on getting to my next goal of 106.6 (point four pounds below my last goal weight, which was 107). Official weigh-ins will take place on Sunday mornings, up day will commence on the day the goal for the week is reached! :broc:

Thanks! I'm not even sure when I lost five pounds... I came close in May... I have been doing cycles of 5-pound losses and I am on my third one. Seems like I am always starting over this way ... according to my schedule, I should have dropped that third 5 pounds by this Thursday. KIDDING of course (that's 3.2 pounds in 3 days) but a girl can dream... that schedule was based on 1.7 pounds/week. I'm already slowing down, from my already slow rate. Oh well. I have 10 more pounds to lose before even considering maintenance.

I know it's hard to plan but I simply buy the fruit and veggies and once they are on hand, I would rather eat them than anything else. Apples and cheese, broccoli and hummus, or bananas and peanut butter are all favorites

YEP! Those are a lot of my faves too. I am on an even stricter diet currently - I got so tired of years of up & down - so no hummus, bananas, apples or cheese for me. Until MAINTENANCE! SO much motivation to get there :D wow I miss hummus in particular...

Have a weekend get away to LBI on 6/26... Don't know if it's wishful thinking but would be awesome to hit goal by then...
