Goals for the month of July:
Log every day - including water!
Get minimum 10,000 steps a day
Lose 10 lbs
Restarted MFP 30 days ago after a break of 14 months where I gained 50 pounds. Sigh... Further proof to stick with it if you want to meet your goals.
So here we are not quite at the end of July and how did I do?
Log every day - Nailed it! - 100% of goal
Including Water: logged water 24 out of 29 days. 83% of goal
Get minimum 10,000 steps a day - 19 out of 29 days. 65 % of goal
6.5 lbs lost - 65% of goal
Average score: 77%
Overall a good month, but there is definitely room for improvement!

Here's to hoping July is better than June. I did manage to lose 2.6lbs, but I felt like the whole month was me losing the same 3-5lbs over and over again. I did, however, start a 30 day body weight challenge and am on day 4. I'm sore as heck (and think that might be part of the reason why I've "gained" 3lbs in as many days).
Goals for the Month:
Exercise 5 days a week
Stop snacking
Lose 5lbs
Well, I exercised for a little more than half the month. I stopped using the treadmill for a bit cause I got lazy. I've done well weight wise and am currently down 3.2lbs this month, but I have a feeling I'll get to the 205.0 mark to whilst my goal for this month by the 31st. Today I started the keto thing. I've got all meals planned and almost all logged for the next 2 weeks (except weekends. Weekends are hard) I've tried keto in the past and did sorta okay with it but I didn't try too hard. I told myself I'd give it 2 weeks and see how I do and go from there. I know 2 weeks isn't enough time to see much of a difference, but Itll give me a sense if I want to try this long term or not. I plan on keeping up the treadmill use too. Hopefully that will give me a boost. Feel free to add me! I'll see ya in thales august group!2 -

Great work for July and I love the percentages idea. I might have to steal this!

I exercised every day, but I had too many high calorie days. I’m up 2 1/2 pounds from the beginning of the month and don’t see myself hitting my weight goal. Ramping up the weight training always increases my hunger. I have to manage myself better when I’m at parties and even on cheat days and I have to make sure I eat higher protein. Sets me up for my August goals I guess.4

I weighed in this morning at 205.6. I actually made my goal for the month! Tomorrow will be the real test to see if I stay or go lower, but I'm super proud of myself! Ive got the Keto headache though. I had under 20g net carbs last night and like 5g of sugar, so my body is hating me right now. Hopefully this will all pass soon. Now to go take a Tylenol.5

My weight goal for July is 245! I'll be on vacation during the third week, so that may add to the challenge.
Non weight goals include:
biking to work at least 3x/week
riding 30+ miles each week
exploring now bike paths around town
strength exercises at least 2x/week
keep on logging food
July 31: 242.3, -7.6 lbs. hooray!
I've been averaging 40 miles a week on my bike, and found some awesome new paths! excited to keep this going.5 -
I ended the month with only -2lbs lost. A lot less than I was shooting for but better than gaining I guess. Going to have to step it up in August!3

I lost 4 pounds not the 5 pounds i wanted but im happy about it!5

Focusing on the calorie intake will get you more results even if you reduce the exercise. Consider working out 4 days a week only, and reduce the cals. If the working out makes you extra hungry, as you have suggested it is counter productive. I don't know your weight -so I'm unclear on your current situation, if you are already fairly close to your goal weight, it might not make that big a deal, but if you are 50 lbs away, it might mean focusing on the cals and reducing the exercise might get you more results. Just my 2c.1 -
Lost 11/2lbs down to 193lbs goal for this month was 195lbs new goal weight 190lbs5
