1. Aiming for 3 weight training classes a week, 5 cardio sessions a week and walking 10k steps daily. - This week's goals smashed! I weighed myself today as it's weighing day at the gym.
2. Track all meals and stay under my calorie limit - Met this week apart from 1 day so all good!

Ultimate Goal Weight: 160

August 10: 282.4

August 24: 275.2 (-4.8!) - I believe I was holding onto fluid from 2 weeks ago after a surprisingly low loss on the 10th (-1.0lbs despite following my diet plan); hopefully this is an anomaly as a result.
August 28: 272.8 (-2.4) - Busy schedule so weighed on Wednesday to make up for missing Saturday
Total loss for August: -9.6

September 7: 270.4 (-2.4) - Kinda crazy how I'm consistently losing the exact same amount of weight, but there you go
Total loss so far: -12.0

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)

9/01: In Texas NS
09/07: 143.8 I’m on a diet break right now so this is pretty good

Challenge Starting Weight: 124.4
Challenge Goal Weight : 115
Challenge Level : 2

Sep 01: 124.4 :: started couple days early in Aug and already making progress. Dropped from 129 to 125. Now, keep on momentum going and be responsible during long weekend for labor day.

Sep 08: 124.4 :: with exception of 1 day where I drank 2 glasses of wine and went over calories that day by 500, did fairly well. Need to focus on being more active and cutting drinking out completely. Weight is not moving but body shape is looking better in the mirror. Next weekend is the birthday plans so need to plan better around it.

Weekly Update...

Better week. 👏👏👏 Still slooooow progress, but I'll take slow. My landscaping project is almost done, so I was able to get more rest (which apparently my body needed). 💪 I've been sloppy with my CICO counting and need to clean that up some. 😬 But overall I'm feeling pleased. Have a great week everyone. 🤗

I'm gonna jump on, if it's not too late - I guess I'll be ending on December 9th? I was planning to join at a lower level, but considering I've lost 14 pounds in the past 6 weeks or so... 25 seems more achievable than I thought, so I'm going to try!

I haven't been around this weight for almost a decade. I couldn't be happier with my progress so far. I just hope I'm able to keep it going. Two years ago I dropped ~35 pounds (~320 down to 285), but then put it back on a few months after losing it. And struggled to drop it again until this year. Not sure what it is about this year, but I've never been this motivated and this successful with weight loss before.
