    @micki48 I did Sun and Mondays steps earlier in the week, right? I want to continue the step challenge. I want my goal to be 10,000 I don't think I ever lowered it when we went to working from home.

    Glad to have our new members and to continue with all the wonderful Waistaways teammates. Let’s go!😁👟🎉

    CG here on an acreage in rural NE Alberta. I’m 61, married and basically retired. Over the years I let everyone else’s priorities take precedence over my health, hence did not find time for exercise or weight loss. When I was 59 I decided that had to change and I started strength training with a personal trainer which had really helped my muscles but had not done anything for my weight. When COVID-19 hit and the gyms closed I decided to use this time to focus on weight loss. I started logging everything here on MFP and joined this group in May. I love the accountability and encouragement I get here.

    I topped out at 200.2 in March and my starting weight this month is 171.2. I’m 5’4” and my goal is 150 but I’ll see how that feels when I get there.

    Welcome to all the newcomers! Let’s make August special and end summer with a bang!

    Hi @micki48 Can I .with the Steppers please? My goal for August is to get to at least 6000 steps a day.

    Thank you!

    Before I set August goals, I need to look back at July:
    Start weight 176.4 and end weight 171.2 for an average loss of 1 lb/wk. Not quite the 1.5 I’m set up for but I had one really bad snack attack week last month, which I need to work to avoid in August.

    Tracker goals were:
    #1 Log everything and stay within +/- 50 calories of my daily allotment – scored 77% green
    #2 Participate in some physical activity AND POST IT HERE – scored 74% green
    I did log every day; the challenge was being in the +/- 50 window. Snacking did not help! This is however the best I’ve done on the exercise goal since I started with Waistaways. In previous months I had tracked the 3 Mini Habits and thought last month I had them ingrained into my routines so I wouldn’t need to track them anymore. WRONG!! They went completely out the window so I learned if I don’t track it I don’t do it.

    So with all that in mind, my goals for August:
    #1 Log everything and stay within +/- 5o calories of my daily allotment
    #2 Participate in some physical activity AND POST IT HERE!
    #3 Complete 3 Mini Health Habits daily

    Hi everyone I'm Jackie and I've been a member of this team for a few months now. I live with my husband of 8 years and our cat in Michigan, USA. I work as a therapist for mental health and addictions which requires a lot of sitting 😬 we recently started transitioning back into the office for some face to face visits which means I walk a little bit more on those days.

    My main reason for wanting to lose weight is to be healthier and have a baby. We've been trying for our first since August 2018. It's been very challenging as I have PCOS, which also makes weight loss a struggle. I had lost over 40lbs (from 269lbs to about 226lbs) but between fertility meds, holidays, and then COVID-19 stress and gym closure I gained some back (up to 245-ish back in April). I've been trying for the past few months to get out of the 240's and got a little bit closer to that goal in July.

    I'm very grateful for this team keeping me accountable and offering support. I probably would have given up by now if it were not for that!

    For August I really want to be out of the 240s. To get there, I need to maintain a calorie deficit and have a decent amount of physical activity. I like the idea of @evangsimmons170 30-day calorie deficit challenge and I'm going to adopt that for myself with a little bit of moderation, I'll be happy with any calorie deficit as long as I'm not eating more than 100 exercise calories each day. My current calorie goal is 1450/day so that allows me no more than 1550 on the days I'm more physically active. I'm also going to continue my goal of 3 days of intentional exercise each week and get back on track with my daily step goal which I will specify in another post.

    Greetings my wonderful team!

    My name is Kristi and I am 38 and live in the US in Washington state. I have been married to my awesome husband for 13 years and we have 3 elementary aged kids. We are a very active family and like to be outdoors.

    My highest weight was 255 in Feb 2019 and currently I'm 214.6. The weight gain was a combo of stress, pregnancies and hormone stuff. I started with noom which really helped me get my thinking straight (I'm a recovering perfectionist/all or nothing/black and white thinker) I started with this group in December 2019 and find the support and encouragement so helpful. It gives such a realistic view of what real weight loss actually looks like. It's slow, takes lots of dedication and a willingness to get up when you fail and try again.

    Things I want to work on in August! I'm having a hard time coming up with stuff this month. My husband and I both work for the schools and we are not sure what fall will look like. My husband might become a stay at home dad and we would be a single income family. We have planned ahead for this situation but still scary 😳. I have discontinued my streaming workouts and purchased dvds or streaming videos that I have unlimited access too. My home workout equipment is well stocked so I won't miss a workout. I love Rhonda's chart and focusing on a 100 calorie deficit. I also want to watch the stress level this month. I anticipate that could really derail me.

    @micki48 here are my steps from last week. Not great, I was in an emotional funk and my motivation was MIA. But I've since pulled out of that and found it again. I want to keep my daily goal of 5,000 and try to reach 10,000 at least once per week.
