Total loss for August: Half a pound.
I continue to slowly get back to my ultimate goal weight after the COVID weight gain in March and April. I'm staying in my maintenance range. Today I weigh less than one month ago, less than two months ago, and less than three months ago. My ten-day average weight is about a half pound more than a year ago when I was maintaining near the bottom of my range.

Right now I'm eating 2,800 calories and walking four miles a day in the morning. I expected more then half a pound but I'm not worried. Next week my weight should be at 216, if not losing half a pound isn't bad. I need to be more focused with my bodyweight exercise and yoga. This upcoming week I won't change my calories at all. Best of luck to all you guy's.7 -

I ate over my calories today but I was very active and busy all day so I think I was just extra hungry from burning off all that energy lol! By next weigh in I'll be in my dorm room nervously waiting for my classes to start. Hopefully I will be able to find batteries for my scale before I leave because if not then this might be my last weigh in with all of you guys. Either way, here's to next week! May it bring nothing but success and health.6 -

I presume your scale uses CR2032 button cell batteries. They are pretty common, and you should be able to find them in most variety stores and probably hardware stores. You can also buy them online and have them shipped; they aren't very expensive. I just got a four-pack since I am about to install the only one I have left in my battery drawer.
When you wrote you were extra hungry from burning off all the energy, do you eat back your exercise calories? Do you have a way to track some of all that busy energy? I was using the pedometer on my phone before I bought a fitness tracker watch. It's a fount of data.1 -

Ultimate Goal Weight: No goal weight. My journey is to focus on nutrition and exercise. What the scale says is merely extra data points to help me keep moving in the right direction.
I prefer a Monday weigh-ins.
Aug 3 : 180.8
Aug 10: 183 Not a surprise to me at all. It’s “that time”. I’m bloated and feel miserable. ::shakes fist at female hormones::
I was trending down until yesterday, so I expect that by the middle of the week everything will have returned to normal and I will still see a loss.

Thank you for the battery info, it helps a lot!
I usually try not to eat back my exercise calories, but if I'm feeling hungry after eating all of my normal meals or if there's a big window of time between meals then I will have a snack or a small meal. I try to make sure I eat healthier foods when I do eat back my exercise calories just so I don't feel like I cancelled out my progress with junk food. But if I don't feel very hungry then I won't eat back my exercise calories.
I have a Fitbit that's connected to MFP. I know that fitness trackers aren't perfectly accurate when tracking calories burned so that's part of why I like to leave most of my exercise calories alone. I also used to use my phone but found that I didn't keep it with me enough for it to track my steps so I gladly upgraded to a Fitbit.0
