Hey everyone! It's almost May 1st and I'm so proud of everyone's progress! I cut back on the salt and also upped my calories this week and it totally paid off! I'm still learning what my body needs as I go. Have a great day and thanks for being supportive when the scale wasn't budging this week!

Great Job everyone.. I will not make my goal this month, but I'll be happy to get into the 260's. I'm hoping to see a 6 on the scale tomorrow.. Fingers crossed!!

WHOOSH

I've almost lost my first 10 pounds!!!

That be the hoppy goodness. Keep trying it and check out the results!

Don't be tempted by munchies though! Best done on an empty stomach!

7.3% abv those Southern Tiers. Yummy.

I am still trying to lose 100lbs without giving up any beer.

Otherwise known as the "I lost weight by getting wasted diet" or, my favorite, "I can't remember how I lost weight diet".

But, seriously, one or two or three hoppy IPAs a day works...

Think of it like a protein shake or your evening run.

Thanks, Ian--that's a diet I can live with! Also the 7.3% abv explains my headache this morning. I'm honestly not sure how many I had (the lemon drop shot didn't help either

I haven't hit my goal this month at all! I had my last weigh in before May 1st this morning and in total I have lost... one pound. It has been a really tough month though and I am pleased to have lost anything at all. 10% of 10 pounds is good, right??!! If there is a lose 10 lbs by June 1st I will totally be in to try again!

Congratulations to everyone else who has had success, you are all inspiring to me.
