7/26 steps: 5,145
Previous weight: 271
Current weight: 270
I'm very happy with that. I do think my loss is just because it's a good day (I expected a gain). But I'm going to stay on track and keep going.2 -

Yesterday I met my goals for the week. I stayed within my calorie goal and I had 12,190 steps. Tomorrow begins the last week of the July challenge. I am going to new goals for this week.
Goals for week 5:
1. 20 minutes of exercise each day
2. Get 7500 steps daily (increase of 500 from last week)
3. Stay within calorie goal
@mustb60 that looks delicious!

7lb up this morning; 3 days of processed food has that effect 🙈 soooooo...... back on it today with all the water and fresh foods and hopefully that'll be gone in a couple of days and I can add the little bit I need to hit my 10lb for the month, nothing if not optimistic!
Happy Sunday everyone!2 -
I am in a bit of flux at the moment, doing C25K but at the pace of a friend, starting to cycle on my commute, still wanting 10k steps a day. Worried I might not achieve any of my targets.
I think the one challenge I can set is to add daily strengthening exercise which I have not done until now.0 -

Met this month's green goal with a little to spare, which is great. I wasn't so good at meeting my other goals, I've been trying for months to get into a good routine with walking, strength training, and mindfulness, but I am a bit haphazard about it all. Eating right is the bit I have been able to stick with.1 -
We are back on topWe lost a total of 22.7 pounds or 0.53%Shoutouts to:5 -
Molly, my dog is helping me increase my steps but I am afraid to walk to far with her because of the heat and and her age. Yesterday, I had 9,658 steps. Unfortunately, I went over my calorie goal big time. I told my husband not to buy the ice cream. He had to buy it just because it was on sale. I guess I should have let it cross my lips.
@TheMrWobbly adding strength exercises sounds great. It is definitely something I am missing from my routine.
@kilobykilo awesome step count!
@Luciicul congrats on meeting your green challenge goal1 -

@lindamtuck2018 yay to the new puppy, go you for rescuing a beautiful girl in her later years
@Luciicul congrats on your loss for the week and for the month, great stuff!
Final three day push for the challenge for me, currently sitting 3lb above my green weight, which is 2lb above last Thursday...... let's see if the next three days are kind and I can make it!
I'll need to be cheer squad in August as in off work for the whole month with far too much over indulging planned! Part of me hopes the past couple if months have trained me how to make better food choices and that I'll be more sensible, but, I very much doubt that is true!!

Good Morning.
Yet another long week in the office. This makes me miss being in my Pajamas all day.
Goals this week are to make sure I log all food BEFORE I eat it and to get my 10k in steps daily.3 -

I gained 3 pounds this week. (heavy sigh) While I tried to stay within my calories, I had restaurant and/or Walmart deli meals 4 days this week. I am pretty sure it is mostly water weight as my sandals are suddenly very tight.
My goals this week are to limit my eating out to just my Tuesday lunch with the folks, and to do my cardio every day except Sunday. I am looking forward to putting July behind me.3 -

This may be TMI...
I find it kind of amazing how much the body can fluctuate in weight for reasons other than our fat loss/gain. I try to weigh myself every day, and to minimise fluctuations I try to recreate the same conditions (first thing in the morning before I have eaten or drunk anything, after using the toilet, naked).
This morning I did my usual thing, and weighed in at 85.2kg (187.8 lbs), but after weighing myself I felt the urge to use the toilet again.... and then I weighed myself again: 84.7kg (186.7lbs) - that is a 0.5kg /1.1lb difference in the space of 10 minutes.
Of course it goes the same way in reverse too - you can quickly put on "weight" if you drink a couple glasses of water or eat a big meal.
This has no impact on body composition at all (fat loss/ fat gain), just a reminder on those days where you're not happy with what the scales say, that there are other influences on weight.2
