12 July = 225.3
13 July = 225.1
14 July = 223.5 Whooohoooo!! Bye bye 225's!
15 July = 222.0 Sweated a lot yesterday.
16 July = 221.3 Sweated a lot yesterday (fitbit says 62 flights of stairs)
17 July = 220.7
18 July = 220.2
19 July = 219.8 GOALLLLLLLLL! Well Step 1 anyway. Only 8 more steps to go!
20 July = 221.1 AAAAAAHHHHHRRRG.
21 July = 221.8 AAAAAAHHHHHRRRG bis.
22 July = 220.9
23 July = 219.1 Over-the-hump. New low.
24 July = 217.8 I'm on a foreign scale.
25 July = 218.2
26 July = 216.7 Still on the staircase down to heaven. Next bump-up should be in 1-3 days.
27 July = 216.9
28 July = 216.9
29 July = 215.6
30 July = 216.0
31 July = 216.3 AAAAAAHHHHHRRRG. It's normal, but still disheartening.

Month 1 / July 2020: 12.7 lbs / 5.8 kg lost.

Made it through step 1 and well into step 2. This is induction month, so I was expecting a semi-big drop. However, the weight lost is not that different than what is expected via my calorie deficit. But I'm not hungry. Like really not, and that makes all the difference. Whaddya know, it's easier to lose weight when you are not hungry. Who knew?

Steps 2 and 3 are a weight zone that I have already lost a couple of times in the past. I get discouraged and fed up at stalls in this zone. But I'm optimistic that perseverance and an active August 2020 will at least get me through step 2.

Right? Like, aren't we supposed to just have 3/4 cup of Special K with 1/2 cup skim milk and then admonish ourselves for being weak when we're starving an hour later?

Daily Weigh-ins
July 1st=240
July 2nd=237
3rd = 237
4th = 235 (IF my scale is correct!)
5th = 235
6th = 235
7th = 235
8th = 235 WOW I'm really stuck at this weight!
9th = 234 Very encouraging
10th = 234
11th = 233
12th = 235 Back up.
13th = 234 Back DOWN one! YAY
14th = 235 Back up. Up and downsie.....
15th = 234

16th -18th It's UNKNOWN
I BOUGHT a NEW SCALE and the news is not good!
[COLOR=Blue]20th = 250
22nd =248
23rd= 247
24th= 247
25th=246
26th=248
28th=248
29th=245
31st=248

Not a good month, but then again, the new scale is definitely weighing higher than the old one did.

Progress made:
Driving a few times, and swimming a few times.
I'm getting the URGE and IDEA to go swimming now this morning. The start of a new habit I hope.

Tim my dear brother is having his surgery this morning. My sisters took him in at like 5 AM. I'm so GRATEFUL for Obamacare.

Hoping that in August I can get a five pound loss. I KNOW I can do it, God willing, if I just stick to my plan and cut down the calories as well. The intension is there, it's the DOING it that is the problem! LOL

Goals:
Fit into my purple blouse (the upper arms are too tight)
Weigh 243 (a twenty pound loss since Jan. 11th)

2010:370/2016:260ish/2017-2019:between 252 and 290/Jan. 2020:263/Current 245/Goal:220 by 2021/Goal:170
