Great job, Greyhound!! I abhor TOM! I'd like to start a petition to get it cancelled. Hope you don't see that gain.

Tuscany, I'm sorry you had a slight up. I'm not going to make goal (but it sure hasn't been from lack of effort either) My clothing is getting looser so I'm going to focus on that.

Sum, amputation doesn't sound fun, I would do something else Good luck!

Joy, thinking of you! Hope your meal planning is helping!

PositiveAttitude, 5lb gain even if its not a "true" weight is hard to see on the scale. Hopefully, TOM will come and go and take some lbs with it!

Have a great day!

Meal planning has definitely put my mindset back where I need it. Sum38, shall we finish July strong so that August can be a better month?

Good job, Turtle...it seems to be sticking! Sum, Positive, Gardener: I hope the last week of July is kinder to you, and no amputations allowed.

And, Lene, there is a petition to eliminate TOM. It was signed by a bunch of old ladies and it's called menopause. Been there, done that...you're not going to like the weight gain that comes with it. Not to worry, even though I complain about the scale, I'm only joking around. I'm very happy with my progress to date. I've been on vacation for a while (taking a lot of accumulated vacation time), so I've been bumming around in track pants/etc. I had to go in to the office for meetings last Friday, and when I went to try on my business clothes for the first time in over a month, I was down to a size 10...yippee!

I'm doing another little dance this morning, since the scales blessed me with a 1 lb loss.

Have a great day everyone...

Tuscany, if the petition is menopause and it causes weight gain, perhaps I've changed my mind! Congratulations on the size 10!!!

Off to work... Have a great day everyone!

Well I guess I am going to make my goal but I don't advise anyone to do it the way I am. I was in the hospital from July 18 to 23rd with acute pancreatitis. Nothing but ice chips for 4 days then liquid diet for 2.

I have two times of the month that make me bloat, and get overly irritated: ovulating and aunt flow. They both seem to screw up my weight loss. But I'm still early in the journey for health, so maybe it'll stop after I get further down the road...

And now... its BONUS TIME

Terrific loss, Lene...and way to keep going Greyhound!

PositiveAttitude: You really do have a positive attitude! I hope the whoosh fairy visits you soon.

jm474: Congrats on reaching goal!

SuperHeroTeacher: Let's hope the next week is better than the last...hang in there...this too shall pass.

Very excited about another loss! I'm also a little nervous because tonight I'm going to GNO for dinner and drinks. (Hopefully, one drink) I've been trying to avoid social situations until I started to feel a little more in control. I'm going to have to do some planning for sure!

Cincorn, I hope you are doing much better now!

JM, wahoo on reaching goal already!

Superheroteacher, sorry its been a rough week, things are bound to get better next week!

PositiveAttitude, I don't especially like weighing in daily. Some days you know no matter how hard you work that number could be high or you get false reads because of TOM. Why I think it's helpful is that I like to see my trends or be able to tweak things a little regarding exercise and diet during the week. Good luck!

Turtle, you are doing awesome! Congratulations on making goal!

Tuscany, you are just cruising along! Great job!

Thank you! It was a very modest goal but I did it and hoping I can sneak a couple more pounds in before the end of July

Thanks! You are so close yourself, keep going!

My goal is 250.
