    Back again for another month. I have 2 months left before I turn 40 (aaaggghhh) years old. This month I have officially been on here a year and thought I would have met my goal and crushed it already, lol. I'm close, but have not hit it yet. I have also changed it and lowered it a couple of times so that may be the reason too. Good luck everyone! Let's make July a good one!

    Original starting weight - 178
    June Ending Weight - 145.9
    July goal - 143.9
    Ultimate goal - 138

    1st - 146.3 bump up on a Monday. Fully expected!
    4th- 145.9 a little bit down from last week

    Total loss for July: June wasn't a good month. Halfway into the first week of July, I have lost a tiny bit. I will have to estimate a July 14 weight from a before-after because I won't be near a scale that day. I'm at the very top of my maintenance range, and I don't like that. I have sort of updated my goals, and I've expanded my maintenance range to 140-150, so that gives me a little room. I'm still trying to dial in the best maintenance range, and my original goal may have not been sustainable. We'll see. I have YEARS to keep trying this, right?

    That’s right. We have to remember and accept that this is a lifetime commitment. It’s not just a diet to reach goals it’s a lifetime of healthy eating and staying active. You are doing so well. It’s great to know that there is no rush in finding and setting our maintenance range. Keep at it and you will find where you are happy.

    Hi, first time doing a challenge with MFP. I started several years ago, actually gained weight instead of losing and quit after several months. I'm back, again trying to reverse the numbers. I was at the highest ever when I started June 3rd. I am almost 54 and really struggling to lose anything. Of course, as a full-time grad student, I also spend a LOT of time sitting, doing research, reading and writing my papers. Still trying to figure out how to get meaningful exercise in beyond walking the dog (which is more like a stop, sniff and pee fest).

    Original starting weight - 185
    July starting weight - 181

    Ultimate goal - 145

    Welcome! You’ve got this. Maybe you can start off with some small changes each day. Begin with drinking enough water each day, get a full 8 hours of sleep at night. Get in 30 minute walks each day without the pooch so you don’t have to stop then take the pooch out for a cool down. Make sure your nutrition in where it needs to be as it’s the most important factor in weight loss. Weight loss = 80% nutrition/20% exercise. Each day make a small change. Until you get onto a normal daily routine that works for you and your schedule.

    Also practice NEAT each day . (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis)
