    Joining from the last challenge.
    Welcome to everyone new whose joined!

    Highest weight 225 2020
    2021 starting weight 180.8

    Challenge goal loss 9 lbs
    I'll weigh in on Saturdays this challenge.

    8/1 162.8
    8/7 161.8
    8/20 161.6 (Weight is coming off slowly, but the last couple weeks I've been consistently exercising, and walking a lot more. I know I'll still make my challenge goal.)

    8/28: This week decided I needed to switch things up, so I put the scale away and uploaded a pedometer to my phone. I'm waiting on a band to arrive so I can wear it. I'll share my step count next week.

    9/04 Averaging 6,200 steps a day. Goal is to increase to 10,000 steps a day. I've also been consistent in getting in my workout routines. I have a doctors appointment Oct. 5th, so I'll hold off and weigh on that day.

    9/11 Averaging 8,500 steps a day. Happy with the increase from last week. I never realized how much more energy being more active gives me.

    9/18 Averaging 7,900 steps a day. Finally getting some much needed rain, so I'll be getting a lot of indoor steps.

    @chublet25 0.8# off isn’t bad for a new scale. One time I was looking for a new one & found out my old ones were weighing 10+ #’s LIGHT. That was really a shocker, lol.

    OMG, that would have been heartbreaking! I read that there is normally up to 4 pounds difference between scales and was hoping really hard it wouldn't be bad. It never even occurred to me until later that the new scales could have read LOWER (obviously my luck doesn't run in that direction!)

    8/8/21-209.2 lbs
    8/15/21-207.8 lbs
    8/22/21-204.4 lbs
    8/29/21-203.0 lbs. Doing well. Keeping on track. I'm not sure if I'll meet my goal of under 200 lbs by 9/1/21 AM weigh in but I can't complain about 9 lb loss! I'm doing a procedure prep today for Monday, of Clear liquids + so that may help me reach it! The good part of the prep! Routine test for a bad family history of 3 generations and praying for a clean bill of health! Started using my Elliptical last Sunday, instead of walking, as it was raining all day. Hadn't used it since pre 10/15. It burns a lot more calories and gets my heart rate up exponentially.

    9/1/21- 200 lbs. Well missed my goal by 0.1 lbs! But who can be upset with 12 lbs in a month loss? Without being hungry or exhausted. I also have a recent NSV. I had a Tibial Plateau Fracture in 10/15 and since have had to take 1 stair at a time and meet it with the other leg going up. (Coming down I can alternate most times.) I can now alternate steps going up. Losing 55 lbs has accomplished this! Oh well, ONWARD AND UPWARD. MAYBE IT SHOULD BE ONWARD AND DOWNWARD!
    ML-12 lbs
    MLGW-199.9 lbs

    9/1/21-200.0 lbs
    9/5/21-200.4 lbs- So my 9/1 weight showed the clear liquid prep I had to do obviously. So not surprised by the slight uptick in weight today. I did stay true to my calorie, carb restrictions and exercise routine though. Keeping my 195 lb goal for October1 and 190 lb for November1.
    I did 97 minutes/8 miles on my Elliptical this AM. I
    Longest time/mileage so far. I got my heart rate up to 140-150.
    9/12/21-198 lbs- I've been doing 99 minutes/8 miles, on my Elliptical on my 3 days off. Stayed true to my Net Carbs and calories this past week.

    9/19/21-194 lbs!!!! OMG! I can't believe this. I expected my weight loss to slow down by now. I may need to amend my End Goal! Still staying true to my Net Carbs, Calories and doing my Elliptical 99 minutes/8+ miles, 3 days/week on my days off.

    9/20: 150 lbs.
    9/13: 151 lbs.
    9/6: 149 lbs.

    8/30 150 lbs.
    8/23 151 lbs.
    8/16- 151 lbs.
    8/7 - 154 lbs

    Don’t know what else to be doing to see more progress. I am exercising daily. Do I need to see a nutritionist? 🤷‍♀️ It is not even like I’m stalled… I am bouncing up and down here. When not tracking I go up, so at least I’m generally around the same level. I’ll stay positive as possible! 👍 any ideas are welcome.
