7/1/18= 179.2
7/31/18=175.2
total loss= -4 lbs.
I have been up and down with my weight this month. I will take this win and enjoy the 4 pound loss and next month be more disciplined with my eating. It feels good knowing that I am close to my goal and I want to lose 50 pounds altogether.3 -

Yeah, I have recorded the more conservative numbers for my reports. Have studied activity trackers and smart watches, which I also agree may be more accurate in calories burned. I did order a Garmin Vivoactive 3 which seems to fit my criteria. Waterproof for swimming, does have a gps golf app, indoor sports app, fitness age estimates, etc
@jcgator2016 I have heard good things about the garmins, though I don't have any direct experience, and being waterproof, that is a bit of an advantage over my fitbit and sadly, the reason I stay with my fitbit is purely aesthetic, I like the ability to change the bands, even though I don't usually do that. I do however think they're pretty helpful and they tend to be a bit of encouragement for me as well, it's nice to see a visual representation of how hard I'm working Good luck and I hope you like it.0 -

@rlaratte 4 lbs a month is my goal actually, so I'd say that you did good, even if you don't think so. A loss still gets you closer to your goal and 50 lbs is no small feat. Remember weight loss isn't a linear process. Congrats and keep up the good work!1 -

@jcgator2016 I love my Garmin! I have a vivosmart hr, it's like 3 years old now and apart from having to replace the straps after like 2 years, its been fab! I've worn it swimming and although I felt like my hr measurements were a little off in the water, it was definitely waterproof! Still works really well!1 -

Goals or Day: I had a great day! Lost 3.3 this week and so motivated to make this another great week that I threw away some very tasty and super high-calorie salad dressing and instead had Skinny Girl dressing which was just as good and even allowed me a few more croutons!1 -

Hoping to stay accountable for fitness this month. I have been keto since April 7th and have lost 58lbs but just strictly way of eating change only and seriously need to start moving!... and weights! I would love to be down at least 8 to 10 lbs this month but thats not going to be the case if I get seriously burn some calories!0 -

Several nights a week I help my friend with his cleaning business. Lots of walking, bending, etc. You know - cleaning. LOL. Overall, it was a pretty good day. I set my alarm for 5am, and was out of bed by 5:15. Once i get the getting up earlier down, I can start incorporating exercise. I gotta be quiet doing it though - I don't want to wake m family up.
Happy Wednesday everyone! Have a great day!1 -

@lesleyrae2018 Your weigh in day can be any day of the week, but it should be the same each week, so I switched you to Tuesday, so next Tuesday, you will weigh in again.1 -
