I've had two losses of around 5 pounds each in the past 1 1/2 months from things other than my intentional weight loss. In late January, I lost 4-5 pounds over the weekend of my move from all the physical activity. I kept it all off for a few weeks but eventually gained a couple pounds of it back.
In the past 2 weeks of being sick, I lost another 4-6 pounds. The lowest weight while I was sick that I know of (I wasn't getting on the scale regularly during the worst of it) was 157.8 last Friday. I about fell off the scale to see myself under 160! This past week, I've been hovering in the mid-159s.
Not the recommended methods of weight loss, to be sure, but it is definitely nice to be seeing lower numbers on the scale these days! Only 1 1/2 months ago, I was struggling to get down from the upper 160s!
Summer Se7en Challenge Goals: 1. Add back core & toning work + weight work 1X each per week to start. 2. Tackle the Sugar Monster--Have a sugar free mint after lunch and dinner, wait 20 minutes, and reassess the need for a sweet treat.

I'm slightly up this week but it's that TOM and I'm retaining water something fierce.
I'm not concerned ; )
