I am hoping to go down to 121 in 2 months from now
Start weight 15x (March this year)
July 10: 134.2
July 17: 131.4
July 24: 129.4
July 31:
Absolutely excited about the loss this week!
Though losing 9 lbs in the next 5 weeks to reach my goal of 121 I really don't think it's going to happen, plus I'm away on holiday the first week of August (Yay!) but I'm determined! Reaching goal a month or so later is totally acceptable to me!
Great weight loss for being so close to goal. WTG1 -

Just got back from a 10 day vacation on Sunday. I love to cook and made many wonderful meals for my big family. I have yet to step on the scale as I figured I'd give myself a few days to "recover"...sort of terrified to see tomorrow what damage I've done.0 -

Life happens. I was away 10 days also. Just got back with my logging and eating within my calorie goal. Glad you got to visit with your family. Precious memories.1 -

I've never joined a challenge before, but I'm looking for some motivation!
My July goal is to weigh 155 or less at the end of the month.
July 1: 159.0
July 8: 160.0 over-indulgence on the holiday and insufficient exercise.
July 15: 157.8
July 22: 159.0 No exercise=no progress.
July 29: 157.0
I didn't make my goal of 155 for the month, but I'm very happy to be moving in the direction of my goals.
I'm really grateful for the opportunity to participate in the challenge. It provided some much-needed motivation, and just being part of the group was incredibly helpful.

I'm shocked because I haven't been particularly good this week, had three days where I was over my 1,200 calories (one of those days I was almost 600 calories over!) I guess what MFPers say is true, the calorie counts are guides and it's okay to not be so true to the numbers. Makes sense, being over because of grilled salmon & broccoli is better than being over from eating two Krispy Kreme donuts, maybe.?!1 -
July
3rd - 199.9lbs
8th - 197.3lbs - weeks loss:2.6lbs
15th -196.2lbs - weeks loss: 1.1lbs
22nd - 200.8lbs - weeks gain 4.6lbs .......the day I got home from holiday
29th - 198.1lbs - weeks loss 2.7lbs
so despite a loss total of 6.3lbs thanks to my gain on holiday IM actually only down 1.8lbs from my start weight.
I totallY sucked at this in July.........AUGUST WILL BE BETTER!!0 -

Successes/Struggles this week: This was a month filled with frustrations. Covered in poison ivy, sleepless, and burdened at work. I lost two weeks of working out to the poison ivy, but have been able to get started again. It feels so good. I never thought I would ever say that. I did not hit my goal, which was a surprise, but I learned some new things about stasis and patience. As always I am grateful to be able to be mobile, to be able to think clearly, and to be able to laugh about my own ridiculousness.1 -
