    August 6th: 115.4
    UGW: 110-113 lbs

    Finally seeing the scale moving again after being 116 for 2 weeks. My original goal weight was 115 pounds, so I'm happy that I am super close. Everyone's non-scale goals look great!

    "Active August" Workout of the Day: Arms/Upper Body
    - 10ish minutes of body weight exercises (push ups, tricep dips, up and down planks)
    - 10ish minutes of HIIT with dumbbell
    - did 10 min of arm toning at my desk
    - 25ish minutes of regular HIIT

    Did a 1.5 mile walk yesterday evening too, looking to stick to walking an extra 30-40 minutes each evening to better digest and get some fresh air! Keep on moving and staying positive everyone <3

    "Active August" Workout of the Day: Weekly Run + Legs
    - 3.9 mile run @ around 10 min/mile pace
    - 20 min inner thigh workouts w resistance bands
    - 30 min of mixed HIIT

    Celebrating a family birthday on Monday; I think we will be ordering Cheesecake Factory. BED gave me major problems with eating out; I would either be stressed and order something really healthy but unsatisfying (which would lead to overeating later) or order way too much food because I thought I wouldn't be able to eat it for a while. I'm hoping to get into a normal mindset of just ordering what I want, but not going overboard. If I want to eat a salad, then I will. If I want a burger, then I'll get that. If I want dessert, I can get that too but there's no "need" to do anything. I also rarely eat out because I'm a poor college student and now coronavirus but I'm gradually working towards not stressing about unhealthy meals and getting into healthy mindsets!

    Good luck everyone, enjoy the weekend! <3

    SW: 168 lbs
    CW: 151 lbs
    GW: 138 lbs

    Goals for August: DON’T gain any weight! Lol whenever we have a family get together then I overeat. I guess if I go over by 100-300 calories I’ll forgive myself but I really need to be in a deficit the other days. I want to aim for a 400/450 calorie deficit most days to make up for the indulging and maintenance days. For exercise- keep it light. Three full body weights circuits and the rest is walking, yoga and Pilates. HIIT made me too hungry even though I enjoyed it 😭. Stick to an average of 1900 calories and see what happens. Don’t panic and stress too much over food.

    #4 has been tough.
    I’m having to go on FMLA starting school year. Kids school going fully remote for the first semester. I asked to work from home but they don’t allow... my choices are:
    1. 40hrs a wk between 6am-7pm during work week. Figure out what time works for me.
    2. Go PT and lose benefits.
    3. Take FMLA

    So even though I can manage to work from home and my direct bosses are okay with it, since the management doesn’t agree, I’m forced to take a leave.
    Just great.

    Slow week (lots of ups and downs), I think due to some high sodium days. Have been quite active this month, going to hopefully go on another long hike this weekend! I also am going to try to only weigh myself on Fridays to not be scale-obsessed. Currently in a somewhat smaller deficit as I somewhat upped my calories though, so I am preparing myself for slower results (0.5 lb/week or so). I can’t believe the month is halfway done! My goal before I leave for school during the first/second week of September is to reach 112 lbs and also get to 1500 calories with my reverse diet (my maintenance is 1600 without accounting for exercise).

    Also, gyms have opened on campus. Do you guys go to the gym? I haven’t gone since quarantine started in March. Should I just stick to using one machine instead of doing a full routine and using too many? If I go, it would be in the early mornings when there are usually fewer people in my experience (7-8:30 possible range).

    Goal Maintenance Range: 110-112 lbs

    Seeing all your stats always makes me feel like I'm too big for this group these days.

    5ft 3 and scale weight is 148.3lbs (rolling average 149lbs). With the gyms being closed I think my current calories are actually around maintenance but I think I will stick here for a while as I'm trying to build good habits and that's harder to do when I'm hungry.

    I am 5’1 and 144lbs. I used to think that to be below 120, like I was when I was in college. I try not to concentrate as much on the number, even though I am at fault for getting on that scale. Ultimately I want to be able to wear my size 3 jeans. I bought those when I was under 130. So that is my new scale goal.

    My goal for August is to Exercise 30 mins a day for at least 90% of the month. I have already missed 4 days so I have to do every single day from now on to reach that goal.

    My goals this month:

    1. Get off the sugar. I didn't do a bloodtest for a long time, but I recognise the signs - being more parched than normal and getting dizzy if I don't eat regularly. @l4a_p : let's do this !
    2. Current weight: 73.0 - goal weight by the end of the month: 71.0 - Which is EXACTLY the same as last months. Boy, how did I get so good at maintaning suddenly???
    3. Get my yearly steps back to goal, which means around 80K to 100K a week

    03/08: 73.0
    04/08: 73.1 - I did resist the sugar temptation
    05/08: 73.0
    06/08: 72.7 - yeah baby :smiley:

    *** hit by a major heatwave causing a brainfry ***

    17/08: 73.0

    Ow boy, the last two weeks were HOT !!! The combo WFH with no airco, heatwave and frozen shoulder resulted in a pure survival mode. Last week was also extremely busy at work with the figures of 2021 that needed to be finalized. We couldn't walk as we just couldn't go outside, we couldn't sleep because all the rooms were just an oven. And we also couldn't go diving because we are still in lockdown.
    I swear I start to feel a bit of cabin fever.

    But anyway, enough whining. The good part is that now temperatures start to drop slowly and that my weight basically stayed the same. I think I will refer to the whole Covid period as my 73 kg weight maintenance exercise.

    @l4a_p : I'm really sorry to hear about your friend moving out and the BF breaking up, that sucks. Take care of yourself girl.

    I start FMLA on Monday. I’ve had a rollercoaster of emotions but looking to get back on track! I start distance learning with my kids on Monday. Which was very stressful in the spring but I’m hoping it’s better this time around. I’m ready to take walks with my kids and spend lots of quality time together
