I got my car back, but I still had to get work done because it needs to be inspected. I also had to go to the dentist to get a cavity filled which wasn't fun.

I was doing good, but then I had to go to Wendy's. I wasn't feeling well for most of the day, I think it may have had to do with the heat since it was over 100 degrees F (40 C), so I figured if I ate more I would feel better. That's also why I didn't walk as much today.

Kind of a bad day. First my weight went up, more than before, then I had to get my car inspected which luckily there was nothing wrong. Also I had to borrow money to get my car back and already they are asking me to pay them back.

Sorry to hear about your bad day. I'm new here and just came to say that I'm inspired by your 137 pages! So even if your weight went up, you've put a lot into this journey and stayed very close to your goal and that is still an accomplishment. Commitment can be tough.

Maybe giving your money person a time frame or arranging payments will help get them to relax a little? Good luck~
 
That's tough, Matt. Can you ask your Dad for the money & arrange to pay him back regularly? Hope today is better for you,
 
Hey Matt, you weigh every day, so you should know that your weight will bounce around. Look for the long term trend, that maters more than 2 or 3 lbs day to day.

Hope things work out with your car.

Thanks, for the kind words. I'm going to talk to him see if he'll accept the arrangements.

Thank you. He's the one that actually paid for the car. I'm going to try to make payment arrangements to see if he'll accept that.
 
Hope the payment arrangement works out - and good for you for the walking, and for seeing a downward move again in the weight. Alligatorob is right about the minor fluctuations, of course, and for sure you know that, but I'm glad you had the cheerful confirmation of seeing it back down from the up! :)

Speaking from personal experience as a parent of 2 sons, a loan with fortnightly repayments is then a proper loan. With one of our sons, a "loan" was not usually a loan & I used to give the other son an equal amount to square it off. I stopped doing that a year ago. It doesn't hurt to ask your Dad.

I hope everyone in the US had a good 4th of July! Unfortunately it rained here, so I stayed in and watched Stranger Things.
