    Wow!!! Congrats... What are you doing diet/exercise wise? Since I started bodyweight, my weight loss has come to a screeching halt. 🤔

    My diary is public so you can see what I have been eating doing! 😂
    I started this year with a 12 week Boditrax course, which I won in a raffle at our local leisure centre. That’s when I began to concentrate on working on strength. I wasn’t losing much weight, so I tightened up what I was eating and started accurately weighing food, and keeping close to my basic calories, and eating back a minimum number of exercise calories. I also concentrated on eating nutrient dense foods with a minimum of ‘empty’ calories. Not sure why it’s working, but I’m sticking with it!

    August 08: 195.8 I have worked hard this past week & am keeping the slip-ups more in control. However, I’ll never be perfect so I am just happy to continue the losses, no matter how big or small! This week was a good week.

    By October I hope to lose the last 8-10 pounds and be in maintenance. I have been doing this for a year now and assumed I would already be there, but alas I am still working on it. So good luck everyone! My weigh in days will be every Saturday. They seem to be my best days and the lowest.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 143.7
    Challenge Level: 2 (technically my goal is to lose 8.7 pounds)
    Challenge Goal weight: 135

    08/01: 143.7 I think this is a little higher than it should be, but we are starting here.
    08/03: 142.2 I've been here for a couple of days now, hoping for a loss next week
    08/10: 139.6 this seems super low today. It will probably bounce up a bit, but I’m happy with it today
    08/17: 142.1 I have not been doing great this last week. Monday I’m back on track I matter what.
    08/24: 142.1 same as last week but that’s ok. The last couple of weeks I have not been on my best game!
    8/31: In Texas to deal with Mark’s dad’s stuff

    Total Loss For August:143.6 = a loss of 0.1 pound (not a great month, lol)
