    Hello,
    I have been struggling to reach my goal weight. I am trying to build some muscle so I know that I will see my weight fluctuate (which is just annoying but I get it). My goal overall is to tone up. I just had a small foot procedure so I can’t exercise yet, however I am motivated to start. Good luck to all. Start date 7/19.

    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.

    Aug. 30- Hangin' in there @ 144lbs😅

    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! 🌻

    Hi everyone,

    I've had some trouble "getting my bearings"; so I've decided on one, FINAL "do over" from tomorrow until at least the first day of 2025 to reach my initial goal weight of 140 lbs. or less.

    I can hardly believe that tomorrow is SEPTEMBER! It's also a Sunday. I think Sunday weigh-in days work better for me; so tomorrow morning will be my new DAY ONE!

    I will try to be consistent in weighing in every Sunday and reporting before the end of the day.

    I will post stats and progress as well.

    Enjoy the Labor Day weekend!

    💗 Carole
