YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:145
YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:140

*I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and just get one entrée, no sides.
*I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days
*I've been trying to eat breakfast most days, but haven't noticed any differences.
*Also, I have been eating 2 bean or legume dishes per week and not noticed any difference in my weight. This has recently morphed into eating 1-2 tofu meals per week which I do think took off a pound or 2!

JULY 1: 145
JULY 5: 145
*5 days into my "Dry July". I am pretty careful about sticking to recommended 1-2 per day and no more than 5 per week so it'll be interesting,for me, to see if I notice any differences!

JULY20: 146
"Dry July" is not helping any because I bought a fiesta pack of Jaritos and have been splitting one with my daughter almost every day or having some other cold, sugary drink!🌞😅

Aug. 3rd:148
Cutting out alcohol definitely didn't help any with weight loss! I've been craving more sweets and carbs lately. However, I have been sleeping so much better!!! I am going to try buying a better quality bottle once a month or so instead of every week because of that only.
Also, it's been rainy or too hot and humid here..so walking a lot less.
I've stopped trying to eat breakfast as that is so hard for me to stick to, but I'd like to try one month having a bit of oats, every day, in the morning to see if it makes any difference for me. Maybe for September!

Aug. 10th-146
Going to track my added sugar this week, and aim under 25 g.

Aug. 20th- 144
Didn't count sugar grams over the weekend, but think I stayed under 35 g. Under 25g is so difficult for me! I am going to try to stay under 35g, at least, which is less than 10% of my daily calories.

Trying to figure out what small changes I can make to drop these last 10 pounds without worrying over every calorie. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.

Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🌻

I think I set my goal too high. Just under 6 weeks left to lose another 18lb to hit my goal. That's about 3lb a week. I doubt I'll make it!

@PickYourDestiny_Fitness Yes you did set your goal too high. It's good that you recognize that! No reason to cry The recommended maximum rate of weigh loss is 1% of body weight per week, so at this point you'll want to be losing no more than about 1.9 lbs a week, on average. And as your weight goes down, so will your safe/healthy rate of weight loss. You definitely don't want to shoot for 3 lbs/week, I know it seems tempting to lose all the weight in a hurry, but you can do real damage to your body and mind by going too fast.

Your goal of 29 lbs over the course of 3 months was unrealistic because your starting weight wasn't high enough to support that kind of weight loss. Which is a good thing! You are doing well, don't let your initial goal distract you from the reality: you are successfully losing weight. Keep at it.
