July 13: 150.5

July 20: 148.5 - back to where I started....

July 27: 148.0

August 3: 148.0 - I ate everything in sight this weekend. I'm pretty excited that I maintained for the week.

August 11: 152.0 I find it amazing that 3-4 days of eating what I want (vs eating what I need) will lead to a 4 pound gain. It's so easy for me to be "good" during the week and so easy for me to just completely give in on the weekends. And there's always an excuse. It's my birthday. My husband wanted to eat pizza. Went to a Jimmy Buffet Concert. In the middle of moving. I guess I know what I need to work on....

August 17: 151.5 Recommitting today....

August 24: 147.0 Started working out again this morning. Challenging myself (and others) to work out 2 more times before the next weigh in.

August 31: 147.0 Maintained from last week. I'm calling that a minor victory. Only worked out 2 times last week. Shooting for 3 times this week. I'd like to get back to the 4 times a week I was working out before I moved.

September 8: 147.0 Still maintaining. That's got to count for something. Right?

September 14: 145.5 Woo Hoo! Down 1.5!

September 21: 150.0 Why is it so hard to lose weight and so easy to put it back on?

September 28: 148.5.  Exactly at where I started.  This was not the plan...

September 30: Total So Far: +0

TOTAL gain.    .3 ounces   

I am not too upset about this amount because I have been under a lot of stress and other issues.  I hope everyone was successful and if not see the above post for the link to the NEXT CHALLENGE.  I tried to invite some people by personal PM , but my computer timed out.

Sorry. . .

Take care and see you the next challenge.  If you would like to post how much you loss or gain in your post I will post a final on October 5th with a run down.  This is the best way I can post a running tally without personally going through each post.  Hope you all wouldn't mind, especially since my computer has disciple problems.  LOL.

God bless.
