  • I sure know I didn't lose 5 but am just back from vacation. I'll post my stat tomorrow - if I am not in complete shock and denial!
  • Nada ounce! I am not complaining as I am still under my goal even after a week's vacation!
  • I lost 10 this month, I am so happy! Of course, I just started I have to consider most of it came off in Phase I. I have been stagnating a bit since Ramadan started, so we will see for next month!
  • Braved the scale and did lose 2.6 pounds this month. I am now back to my May 31 weight. What a waste of two months of my life! On I go.
  • O-M-G - I lost 5.8 lbs in July. It went slowly down, with a couple of blips up, so I don't think it was just water weight. Some of my old clothes fit again, hooray! And a few days into August I was down another pound to my reasonable happy weight where I spent most of last year (until the evil holidays struck! Yes it took me EIGHT MONTHS to lose 10 lbs )

    I had to tweak SBD to start losing again. No grains at all, more emphasis on protein (>0.5 g protein/lb of body weight - yes I track everything, total pain in the butt but it is the only thing that has worked for me), no cheese (really only Greek yogurt for dairy) and at least 4 cups of non-starchy veggies every day. <<that last part is supposed to always be a part of SBD but it is easy to let that slide and go for the nuts & cheese instead. At least that has been my experience.

    ARGGGG - it has been hard but after months and months of struggling but I feel good that FINALLY I met one goal that I set.
