I feel like the scale is mocking me this morning because the main thing I wanted was to end the month under 180. But, I woke up earlier than I had been for the last couple weeks and weighed myself before baby's morning feeding, so I know those both played a part. At least I still made some progress this month.5 -
My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I am from the Midwest USA. 5’ 5
I will be keeping the Thursday weigh-in (in addition to the 1st and last day of the month for the full tally)
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
Original Starting Weight (2016) 253.0
Aug start Weight: 192.4 (Weight on July 31st)
Aug Goal Weight: 187.4 (5 lb loss)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there).
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s
Aug start Weight from July 31st) : 192.4
Aug 01 : 191.4…..(trend weight 194.6)
Aug 05 : 191.2…..(trend weight 193.3)
Aug 12 : 190.0…..(trend weight 191.6) Progress. Posted early yesterday by accident. This is a bit higher than yesterday but down from last week's weigh-in. I'm happy it's moving down still, even with everything that is going on around me.
Aug 19: 187.8…..(trend weight 189.9) That is 2.2 pounds down this past week so I am very happy. I noticed on my spoiler on another challenge that I gained 19.8 pounds during the covid shut-downs in my state during Feb-Aug of 2020. It took a minute, but I have lost all of that back down (finally!) and am working on actual progress again. Staying hopeful that I will reach the 5 pound goal this round. My starting weight on July 31st was 192.4 so I am almost there. I need to lose 0.4 more. More importantly, I need not to gain! With some travel and a few social engagements left in the month, I must watch my p’s & q’s but I think I can do it!
Aug 26: 188.4…..(trend weight 188.5) I’m still thankfully trending down but I’ve been off the rails since a birthday party last Sunday. The bad food and choices is making me feel like I’m in slow motion. Sluggish, Horrible. Today, things go back to where they need to be. Pushing through so I will feel better tomorrow! None of it was worth it. I am still close to goal and know that I can make it if I try.
Aug 31: 186.8…..(trend weight 188.3)
Total Weight Loss for Aug: 5.6 pounds lost. Goal met and I’m very happy about that.
