I got a disappointing starting weight, but maybe that will make it easier to meet my goal this month. It was a little discouraging, so I put my last two months of scale readings in a spreadsheet. Now that I can see that the trend line tilts down, I'm more encouraged.

July goal: -1 kg, Weigh 20x

1: 89.2; 1/20

WendyWants2Change · 07-02-2023, 08:11 AM

This is the month.
As long as nobody moves my scale while unpacking, I will make it!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Goal:-4.2 =180.0

7/1: 184.2
7/2: 183.8

Oh! I got an unexpectedly happy number this morning! We dealt with a 16-hour power outage yesterday. Food was weird, and not that much of it, so that helped me out some. I think I'll wait to see what happens before declaring my goal met on the third day of the month.

I'm blaming today's high number on muscle soreness from yard work and strength training. How is everyone else doing as we go into the weekend?

current: 14st 11lb / 207lb

a small loss, although my weight bounces around day-to-day, but I haven't been above my month's start weight, so I'll take that.
