Well... I had a bit more sodium than normal yesterday and I did double the work out, so I'm guessing water retention. No letting it get me down, I was shocked it was going down so fast to begin with. 1lb a week was my goal, and hey, it's doing that!

Goal 5lbs:

SW: 184.4
GW: 179.4

8/1: 183.6
8/2: 182.8
8/3: 182.2
8/4: 182.2
8/5: 181.6
8/6: 183.4 (-1, 4 to go)

Marina Brasil Big whoosh and then a big gain. XD That's sort of how it looks in my graph, only not big whooshing and a big gain, more like small little gains and then one big whoosh.

SW: 189
GW: 182.6 (-6.4 pounds)

8/1: 189.2 (+.2)
8/2: 190 (+1)
8/3: 191.6 (+2.6)
8/4: 191.8 (+2.8) My weekend gain is usually more than this, maybe a sign of good things to come!
8/5: 189.6 (+.6)
8/6: 191 (+2) Way too much sodium yesterday.

July was 1.6, so for August I want to beat that with 1.7
7/31 = 109.7, 8/31 goal = 108
August 6 = 109.4

kurisitaru My graph often shows that i'll go up and down most of the time and be losing weight slowly through this process (i'm currently in this stage) and then i might have a medium woosh that's followed by a small gain and/or maintaining.

I'm hoping I can join in the August challenge, even though a week late. I was a regular participant in 3FC and this challenge last year, but dropped off the board due to health issues. Over the past six months, I've undergone surgery and, regrettably, gained 25 lbs However, I'm determined to get back on track and, since this challenge helped me before, I'm hoping it helps again.

I started off August at 165 and I'm hoping to get down to 155 by the end of the month. As of this morning, I was down to 163...so a reasonably good start!

Welcome back, Tuscany! Great to see you here.
