Hi all! Brand new here, and glad to find a place for some accountability!
Height: 5’7”
HW: 170
CW: 155
July goal: 150 would be nice, but I’m especially looking to see some visual changes
Ultimate goal: 140
I was 140 and a size 8 at my fittest, and I don’t think I’m built for being slimmer than that, but I was so happy with how I looked and felt back then. A knee surgery, 3 years of college, and a year of grad school later and I just want to feel good again!!3 -

Wow this is the lowest I've ever weighed in my adult life and is certainly the strongest I've ever been as well. I changed up a little how I've been eating last week and prioritized getting at least my 10k steps a day. I'll try and continue this trend throughout this week (I didn't actually drop 2lbs over the course of a week. My June 2nd weigh in was trending high, last week's weigh-ins were around 157). Hope everyone is doing well in their endeavors!!

Height: 5'10/11 depending on who you ask medically.
SW: 212lbs* (new scale, orig. weight probably 220lbs)
CW: 136lbs
July GW: 137lbs stable and stay there.
UGW: 142-145lbs strong.
June End Weight: 137.2lbs.
July 3rd: 136.4lbs.
July 10th: 136lbs.
I'm back on logging my food because I pretty much eat whatever I want whenever I want, within reason so that my body fat doesn't start creeping up, except that Asda deli pizza that one time
and I fluctuate between 136-138lbs, but my average weight (136lbs) keeps creeping lower and lower. It's kind of weird because I spent so much of last week so painfully bloated because of the heat that I feel like I should be heavier than I am. 2 -

I am on my 4th week of Crossfit. Suddenly weight isn't seeming as important. LOL. I am losing a little bit of weight, but mainly inches and I'm toning up. Muscles weighs more than fat...Gotta keep that mindset!4 -
Today's weigh in was probably the lowest I've seen yet, but I started tracking my weight with Libra this past week because I think a trending weight makes more sense now that I'm in maintenance. I skipped out on a work lunch today (mostly because I just didn't want to go) which saves some calories and I even said no to a donut in the break room yesterday- and those don't come too often! I have another beach trip in a few weeks and it's really nice to just keep up what I'm doing rather than feeling like I need to work a little harder to look good in my bikini.

Hey ladies,
I have no numbers for you. I haven't been weighing in lately, so I don't know what I'm at. Things have been so hectic lately that I'm really not giving this enough attention. I'm going to keep logging as best I can but I don't think I'll be able to take things too serious until August (hopefully by then anyway). I'm just feeling really stuck and stressed lately and seem to have no energy to give this.
I'm going to try to just focus on eating fresh foods whenever possible and leave it at that for now. Sometime, life just gets the best of you.5 -

To anyone who gained weight instead of losing it, its okay
dont get too worked up over the weight gain, you can lose it in no time
To anyone going through a plateau, you'll get through it! I promise you
Keep working at it and soon enough you'll get those results you've been waiting for
To anyone going through a slump or having a hard time in general, you're not alone
Remember you're surrounded by people who love you and are ready to support you at anytime
both in real life and online! This community has your back alright? Stay strong loves
July plan:
**Walk 10000 steps minimum

Had a stomach bug the week before the first, 7/1 was actually going up from the ultimate stomach bug low, 7/8 was coming back down, I think I peaked around 134.7 between those two.
The last week in June was stomach bug, the week before that my husband got laid off (we are a single income family) so food purchases have changed a bit with the uncertainty and stress. I was doing really well but between the stress of the job loss and the stomach bug, I got off track. I'm trying to get back on. I also had to freeze my gym membership, so after the 23rd I will be working out at home. I don't know if that will help or hurt my progress, or if it won't change.
I had good progress from April to May, May to June, and during June. I don't feel like I'm on track to do as well in July. Or maybe my loss has slowed as I approach my ultimate goal.3 -

Hello, Still not losing hope but realizing that I need to seriously up my cardio for fat burn. Continuing to run 5 miles every other day and averaging 60-90 minutes of yoga per day.
Good luck and stay strong! 3 -
Surpassed my second goal weight! Feels good to be in the home stretch and really see things coming together. Started Strong by Bret this week and got all my workouts in. I think I'm really going to enjoy it as my next program.

Well, my weight has been creeping up this spring and while I tried it on my own for a while, I am coming back to the group humbly. I have realized that I can’t do this on my own and MFP’s data and accountability are something that I require if I don’t want to do a grand slide back to where I was. So I am back. I am still dealing with injury and recovery but have decided to let go and put myself in the hands of the program that I know works for me: you guys. So here is to renewed focus on my health and yours.

Height: 5'9"
SW (this time around): 148.7
GW: 135
July goal - maintain weight and build muscle
Feb: 148.7
March 1: 147
April 1: 142
May 1: 140.6
June 1: 140.8 (moving average 137.7)
July 1: 135 (moving average 135.2)
July 8: 133.2 (moving average 134.5)
July 15: 131 (moving average 131.7)
When I hit my goal, I wasn’t sure if I should go another five pounds down, but it looks like that’s happened without really trying to. I’m now pretty comfortable saying 130-135 is a good maintenance range for me.
I haven’t really succeeded at the build muscle part of my goal, but I have been enjoying the extra activity that comes with summer.5 -
Bravo ladies!!!
👏
@bringbackthejoy - your weight is still fantastic! I gained lots and it’s an elevator ride for me lately. We can do it!!!

Haven't been doing a great job of tracking or working out
However, I do feel like there has been a change in my habits (way less binging/snacking). Glad to be under 145 and feel like the 130's are finally in sight. 5
