I've made no progress. I've stopped getting on the scale, except my grandma told me I look like I'm down some weight, so I weighed and discovered I actually GAINED. So that was awesome. H is talking about wanting to transition toward paleo and I'll probably go with it because nothing else is working.
None of my job interviews worked out and I have no idea why. im so down in the dumps right now and I don't even know if I care about my weight right now. I just feel like a big loser. All I can get is minimum wage jobs despite almost being done wiith a masters degree. Minimum wage isn't enough when you have 3 kids, 2 of whom would need daycare that would eat my whole check.
I'm up 0.8, blaming it on my period and the multiple street tacos I ate the day before weigh in. I'm changing my weigh in date from Sunday to Friday. I'll be out of town this Friday so I won't be weighing myself until this week.
I'll keep working the program and exercising, hopefully I'll get a nice surprise when I weigh in next.
I'm roller coastering right now. Was up 2 lbs last week, lost it this week.
I also ate so much yesterday I had to puke.
But...I still am wearing a bikini this summer for the first time in my life.
I am shocked at how difficult summer is for weight loss for me. I hyped up how hard the winter and winter holidays would be, and it never occurred to me how difficult summer would be for staying focused. I'm still 1.2 out from my mini goal of -50, but I am switching my mindset to maintenance for the summer.
I gained 2.8 last week. Overall, I gained 5.5 in June and I can feel the difference. It doesn't make me feel very good so I really need to refocus and practice the basics of WW again.

I haven't been hardcore tracking but I have been exercising more. I feel leaner. Scale is down about 3 pounds over the last 2 months. I am trying to look long term. Focusing too much on weekly makes me nuts. I really just want to lose 10 pounds. I've been wanting to lose this 10 pounds for 2 years. Why is it so hard???
Between a recent vacation and the holiday, I've fallen off the bandwagon in a terrible way. But I'm feeling more motivated now that a few of our key summer events have passed. I really need to lose this weight and have to get serious.
Didn't weigh in this week but I am happy to say that I stayed on track. It's so hard on a holiday weekend. I did have some good calorie/carb ish meals but I ate light for breakfast and dinner.
Still not losing much weight but I ran a 5k yesterday with my sister and finished in 34 minutes! I am pretty proud of that, and I feel like it's proof that killing myself in the gym is paying off, even if it's not in visible results. That time also included stopping twice to tie my shoe and walking some because the stupid thing didn't get started til 8:45 so by 9:25 I was dying of heat! We are also painting our kitchen and living room this week so I have eaten like shit. It has been delicious though! 😂
I'm on my second week. First week I lost 5 lbs and was super stoked, second week I lost .2 lbs. Still a loss but not nearly as motivating. Tracking all my food trying to figure out the best way to increase steps when it's 100+ outside.
Still avoiding the scale until another week I think after my vacation. Just got back to OTF for the first time in 3 wks today and I have 3 more classes before Tuesday that I'll be using so they don't go to waste.
I was terrified of this weigh in and thank goodness I sucked it up and went. I took the weekend off of working out and I really thought that would negatively impact me.
To my surprise, I ended up losing 3.4 pounds on a holiday week!! So excited. I love this program.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I'm up 0.4, but I expected a gain. the WW scale at the meetings though is less than mine at home. I didn't track all weekend or on the 4th, and it included a 2 course breakfast, 3 course breakfast, as well as one beverage and endless apps at Fridays. I did have 15k and 10k steps though (on days that we were in the car for 3 hours each) so it's not as bad as I thought it would be.
