Thanks, Turtle...it's funny, but it's so motivating to make your way to a new decade. Of course, you barely get there and then you want to get out and into the next one!

I had another slight loss this morning, which is good news.

I am solid in the 160's!!!! AND! I've officially lost 40 pounds!!!! Wahoo!

Congratulations on the 40 lb loss, Kaitie!! We have a few others who look good for making goal in July, including Turtle and SuperHeroTeacher...way to go! I was slightly up this morning, but it was minor and I'm still in the 150's. I'm looking forward to making my way solidly in the 150's, by getting and staying below 159...soon, soon...

This is just killing me! I have been eating 1200- 1600 calories dependent on workouts. I'm logging every bite and wear an activity tracker daily. I have never been very good at drinking water but now it's all I drink (an occasional unsweetened ice tea) and at the very least 72ozs of water. Grrr! I really hope the scale shows me some love tomorrow!

Another loss this morning...I think I'm now firmly in the 150's...yeah!

I hope the scale is kind to you too, Lene. It's very frustrating to remain on plan and not see results. Perhaps it's the high humidity, which seems to be all over these days. Believe it or not, high humidity often results in water retention, which explains why many people experience swollen fingers, ankles, etc. when it's humid out. I know when it's humid, I have trouble getting my rings on and off. Hopefully, you and others will see a whoosh soon!

Yay, Kaitie! That's a terrific milestone!

Congrats, Tuscany, on the descent into the 150s!

lene, 2 pounds in 10 days is nothing to sneeze at! I averaged less than a pound a week on the way down. It's not how fast they leave it's how long they stay gone.

I've finally found willingness to get back to the one habit that really works for me -- planning my meals in advance. I'm making it a generous plan, right now, as I ease my way back into it. And, now, of course, I'm wondering why I didn't do it much sooner. I'm remembering all the things I like about it:

• It's a solid foundation for a slippery day.
• What I lose in the pleasure of spontaneity, I gain in the pleasure of anticipation.
• The time I lose in a few minutes of planning, I gain back several times over in the efficiency of having a plan.
• I'm faced with many fewer decisions during the day.
• My obsessive thoughts about food are much reduced in number.
