Nice little whoosh to end the month, below where I began. I'm looking forward to next month.

I'm off the next 4 days including today. I'm going to do my nails, color my hair, catch up on work training videos, clean house, do laundry, grocery shop, and meal prep. Oh and get some treadmill time. No rest for the weary!

@cinw1501 - great job for the month, even though you missed your goal. 🎉

@ilive2walk - loved the pics of you and Monty, good job getting those house points in! Oh no, poor Allyson! I'm glad she's okay. 🫣

@jo_casey42 - great job on the weight loss this month!

@jm216 - thanks for getting the September thread going. ❤️


So I make a high fiber hot oatmeal with all sorts of stuff. This actually happened yesterday. Yes, he wrote meal worms!

Hi,
I'm Cindy. I'm 50, 5'4" and 159.6 as of Aug 1st. Lost 4.6 lbs in July. I didn't quite reach my goal weight for July, but I was close. I have fought with the same 10lbs for the last year.
So my doctor wants to put me on Wegovy or Zepbound. Between the cost and doing a little research, I don't think its a great solution for me. Looks like it might be a rest of life commitment. No thank you!

Started at the gym 7/3. Been going 5 days a week. Missed a few days due to life.

I see my doctor again at the end of August, so I want to loose at least 10 lbs by then to prove I can do it without meds. My ultimate goal is 135 lbs.

Starting weight: 164.2 (July 1, 2024)
August starting weight: 159.6
August goal weight: 155

Aug 1st - 159.6 - Used the rowing machine at the gym for the first time. My friend and I liked it. Why aren't more people using it. No one is ever on it.
Aug 2nd - 160 - Probably the few bites of cookies I had after dinner last night. My daughter wanted Crumble Cookie. How could I say no after the crazy week we have had?
Aug 3rd - 160
Aug 4th - 160.4 - not paying attention to what I ate yesterday and ate dinner late. Need to work harder this week on what I am putting in my mouth. Last week was a little crazy and I was trying to feed a bunch of young adults. Needed quick, cheap, and easy.
Aug 5th - 158.8 - Actually lost weight over the weekend!
Aug 6th - 157.4 - Not sure how that happened, but I will take it. Only did cardio at the gym yesterday afternoon. I was in a hurry. Had lots to do yesterday evening.
Aug 7th - 157.6
Aug 8th - 158
Aug 9th - 160.2 - Very tired this week. Not really sure what is going on except maybe stress. Still going to the gym, but mostly cardio this week and very little weights.
Aug 10th - 159 - Scale finally moving back the other direction.
Aug 11th - 159.2 - I knew it would go up this morning. Yesterday was really busy and only had energy by the end of the day to order pizza. I did have a salad for lunch anticipating being exhausted at the end of the day. Today will be better.
Aug 12th - 158 - Yay!
Aug 13th - 158.6 - Ugh! Why? Not looking good to meet my goal. I have my doctor appointment on the 27th. I'm afraid she will try to push the drugs again.
Aug 14th - 158.6
Aug 15th - 158.4 - The scale needs to move down! Weights and cardio for about an hour afterwork yesterday. Only ate a salad with tomatoes and cucumber last night for dinner. I won't say what I ate for lunch. I think the lesson learned is eat a lighter dinner and a heavier lunch.
Aug 16th - 157.8 - Makes a difference when I stay away from bread. Now for the weekend. Have party to attend for my husband's grandfather tomorrow. He will be 101 and still going strong. Drives and lives by himself. It will be pool side so I probably won't want to eat much because its Texas and it will be hot tomorrow.
Aug 17th - 157.4 - Yay! I made it to the gym 5 times this week. I always take Saturday and Sunday off, so just have to watch what I eat over the weekend. I have a week and a half until my doctor appointment.
Aug 18th - 156.6 - Can't believe it. Getting super close to my goal. I might just make it by the day of my doctor appointment.
Aug 19th - 157.6 - And my body says just kidding. Ugh!
Aug 20th - 158 - No gym yesterday. Had to take my daughter to the dentist after work. Ate Frito Pie for dinner. Too much salt. Surprised my gain wasn't more. Will be at the gym after work today, so hopefully will be back down tomorrow.
Aug 21st - 157.4
Aug 22nd - 156.6 - during the first part of the week my weight trends up and then it goes back down. I don't get it.
Aug 23rd - 156.8 - Spoke to soon
Aug 24th - 157.2 - UGH! I am pretty sure I am not going to meet my goal by the time I go to the doctor on Tuesday. No more bread for me. Only salads over the weekend.
Aug 25th - 156.6 - I can't get past 156.6. Why? I usually take the weekends off for exercise, but if time permits today I will probably jump on the treadmill. We leave for Disney next Sunday. It is making me nervous. We are driving, so I will probably take make scale to try and keep myself motivated to eat as healthy as possible. I worked too hard the last two months to gain it all back in a week.
Aug 26th - 156.2
Aug 27th - 156.4 - I see my doctor this morning. I did not meet my personal goal. I wanted to be 155 this morning. I was close. Can't wait to hear what she has to say about me canceling my weight loss appointment with her. This one is for my hormone patch. I hope she understands my reasoning. 7.8 lbs lost since I started on July 1st. I think that is pretty good in 8 weeks at the age of 50.
Aug 28th - 157 - Doctor visit went better than I thought it would. She was glad I chose the gym over meds. She said I am doing great on the weight loss. Scale didn't look so great this morning, but when I work out hard it tends to do that. I did upper body yesterday and then did a hour of cardio. Hopefully it will go back down tomorrow.
Aug 29th - 156.8 - my hip was hurting yesterday evening, so decided to rest the body and no gym today.
Aug 30th -156.4 - ok not sure what is going on with my body. No gym yesterday and Taco Bell for dinner. Between the sodium and tortillas I was ready for a increase in weight. I don't get it. The days I don't eat so great and don't go to the gym I loose weight? Will be going to the gym after work today as this may be the last chance I get for a week and a half. I don't think I will meet my goal, for the month but I was close. Happy Friday Everyone!
Aug 31st - 156 -not quite my goal, but better than I thought I would do. Had a Chipotle salad and didn't go to the gym yesterday after work. I had too many things on my list to do before we leave tomorrow.

Total Loss for August: 3.6

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 64 years old and from Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.

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


This Challenge Starting Weight (from July 31st): 188.4
Goal: 184.4 (Four lb Loss)
Actual Ending Weight: ???
Total Lost/Gained this month: GAIN

**********************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME********************

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

08/30-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- No weigh Friday. I fixed a nice “normal” (includes more carbs) style dinner last night for myself, DS, DD and DGS. It included some extra carbs in the form of a starchier veggie and a side of pasta as the DGS and autistic DS will both eat that. I also had some caramel corn later out of my daughter’s mobile stash. A new product from an Amish store and my curiosity got the best of me! My own choice and my own fault. I hope to have a good day today so that my weight tomorrow will not be so affected. However, it is a holiday weekend and there are some plans in place. Stay safe everyone!

08/31-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I was disrupted and woke up earlier than I wanted to roll out of my bed (still in the living room) this morning by DD and DGS. Didn’t get the weigh-in done which is in my mudroom since my bathroom is down as part of the reno. I’m likely going out of town today to get my oil changed since I’m nearly 7000 miles over limit and it’s being used to haul trailers full of very heavy wood and supplies. I haven’t had a free day to do it lately. Dinner will most likely be out so I may just skip weight tomorrow too and weigh in a couple of days from now. This whole month of August seems to have been turned upside down and then tipped on its ear. I’m hoping, after today, to make the rest of this holiday weekend be less about food and more about rest. We shall see how it all pans out. I will use my last known weight as my start weight for September and will try to be more consistent next month on my goals.

Hi, I'm Jill!
I'm 54 and have been married 28 years. I have 2 children-- a son who is 23 and a daughter who is 19. I work full-time selling new construction homes, and I absolutely love it!
