Original starting weight - 189
July starting weight - 183
July goal - down 6 lbs to 177
Ultimate goal - 145/150
1st - 183 lbs
7th- 181 lbs (pretty sure this is because I have been bad and not drank any water yet today! but I am surprised at this loss!)
14th-- 177.6 (I weigh in in the morning after I workout)
21st- 178.3 lbs (humph...)
28th
Can’t say I didn’t expect this, but it’s less than a pound so hopefully this week I can be consistent and healthy. I plan to walk more and drink no alcohol (has my first in person visit with a friend since March so we were a bit excited). One week left everyone, we’re awesome people let’s make these last seven days ours!4 -
MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
June goal was 146.7 - Actual end weight 148.1
July goal 143.4 (realistically I would be happy with 147.1 since I normally only lose one pound per month)
Ultimate goal: 112-115 - Age 59, height 5'2"
Wednesday July 01 - 148.4 - Up just a titch from June EW, but really pleased to be starting the month in the 140s for the first time.Thursday July 02 149.4 - Eh? Not sure why I would gain a pound in one day, not doing anything differently. Staying on track and hoping to see it lower tomorrow. I am never happy with fluctuations, you would think that I would be used to it by now! Very long work day, didn't get home to start making dinner until very late.Sunday July 19 - 148.5 - I loosened up a bit over the weekend. Time to tighten the reins.
Friday July 03 - 149.2 - I am off of work today, so can get more workouts in and eat well. Another .2 off tomorrow would be great.
Saturday July 04 - 149.1 - Late dinner 2 nights in a row, I need to change that.
Sunday July 05 - 149.1 - I expected a gain because I partied yesterday - it might catch up i a few days, but I hope not!
Monday July 06 - 149.3
Tuesday July 07 - 149.1 - Happy to be staying in the 140s so far this month even if I am still one pound up from my June EW. Being at the higher end of the 140s is precarious, so I hope to get down to an area where I have a bit of a cushion if I feel like eating like a normal person for a meal or a day.
Wednesday July 08 - 149.4 - No reason for the gain, staying diligent.
Thursday July 09 - 148.4 - Slept in weight.
Friday July 10 - 148.7 - So far this month no forays back into the 150s. I hope to keep that up for the entire month. I am still up from June's EW and haven't touched that number yet this month. I will try to.
Saturday July 11 - 148.8
Sunday July 12 - 150.1 - 4am weigh in instead of 9am. Expecting (hoping) this is just due to weighing 5 hours early.
Monday July 13 - 149.1 - 7am weigh in
Tuesday July 14 - 148.7 - Okay. Now to get to June EW, or at least July start weight. Working on it.
Wednesday July 15 - 148.4 - Back to my beginning of the month start weight. Next goal to get to June's EW.
Thursday July 16 - 148.3 - How great it would be to lose 0.1 of a pound consistently for 10 days netting me another 1 pound loss. Staying diligent.
Friday July 17 - 148.3 - Maybe I will get to see the 147s one of these days. This weekend will be a test because I have 2 bbqs and a lunch to attend (I don't normally eat lunch). Hoping that I don't gain too much, it is too hard to lose.
Saturday July 18 - 148.1 - Surprised I didn't gain, but it could catch up to me. We'll see.
Monday July 20 - 149.8 - There it is, the weekend catching up with me. I will work very hard to bring this back down.
Tuesday July 21 - 147.4 - New low, hope that I can stick somewhere around that number for awhile.4 -

Holy Moly so carb cycling not working for me! Maybe I am just not going to the extremes. I did much better a few years back by following the F-Factor (high fiber/lower net-carbs) I hate to quit something in the middle but my frustration is high and I have been feeling a bit sluggish so I think a change will be good.4 -

14th - 125.8 Period bloat has me feeling like a balloon and of course it lined up with with this week's weigh in.
21st - 127.1 It started with a single day of over-eating and then went downhill from there. I can only hope I get my emotions under control to reach my goal but the 28th.

Final Challenge Thoughts:

@dawnbgethealthy That's awesome! The spreadsheet I have uses the Navy calculator but I've also been thinking about buying calipers - I'm scared to see a higher BF. Most of my fat is around my waist so my next goal (once I reach 110) is lowering to 28% but trying to keep my weight the same.
Also, maybe your doctor can help measure at your next visit?3 -
#baecation is over and I've got to stop jumping around 110 but not quite reaching it.
Keep up the good work everyone!
The cause of my weight gain in May 2020, lol: Renpho Bluetooth Scale on Amazon
FYI: My body fat (BF) had been back and forth between 33% and 35% from Oct 2019 to March 2020. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.
I have seen 31% twice in May - on my way!
30% in June, finally!!!
