    I'm joining this group a little late. I'm finding I'm really enjoying being accountable in these threads so I am spreading myself out further. I am currently on WW and loving it. I am seeing progress and don't feel deprived. I am getting married early November so I would like to shed some weight before that. I already have my dress, it was a snug fit before I lost the 17 pounds so there should be a little more room there now. If I have to take it in before the wedding then I will. I am off work right now with a shoulder injury so the only exercise I can do is walking, which is fine. I walk my dog everyday which has been great.

    Discipline is the key : Learning a new language, keeping the house clean, maintaining a routine for my babies, being prolific at work.

    I'll be keeping the 10:14 intermitent fasting, and I'm going to commit to doing daily yoga. I'll need to find a time during the day or the evening, but it is required. I'll take it one day at a time, tracking everything in the bullet journal.

    Ultimate goal: 73 kg
    Medium term goal: Stop looking like I'm pregnant
    Short term goal: Reach my pre-pregnancy weight 93.0

    Initial June 13th weight: 103 kg
    July 1st: 97.1 kg
    August 1st: 93.9 kg
    August 2nd: 93.3 kg

    Welcome! @jo_casey42 happy wedding planning!

    I had a very productive work day for a Friday, and now I can fully relax and do nothing haha.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Today is another bbq party day
    I plan to be half good, but need to have some fun too.
    I know the last one last week really threw a wrench into the ole scale gears.
    All my t- shirts are fitting nice again
    And tried on a pair of special of work pants that never fit, but today I was able to get that button closed, still a little tight on the waist only.
    Have a great weekend everyone
    And let’s get those numbers down this week

    Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again. I'm not making this a race - I'm doing this at my pace. This year has given me a few challenges - but I'm still working toward weight loss goals. ✨

    Cycle start in there, and it's just been a hard week -- I didn't get to work out Wednesday or Thursday, and it wasn't just the weight it affected, but my mood. I was able to walk 2+ miles on the treadmill last night though. I'll do it today too.

    @jo_casey42 Welcome to the group! I hope you find engaging here helps to keep you accountable and on track with your weight loss goals.

    @dannytrees1 Sometimes (not always though), that weight loss begins to slow after the initial burst -- it really depends what a person is doing for exercise, types of food consumed, etc. But even if slow, slow and steady will get you there. And you're doing great, by the way. ✨

    So I've been in Spain for vacay since August 1 and I enjoyed myself and didn't think about weightloss. Weight today is 211, about the same as when I left.

    Just checking in. Was at a horse event over the weekend and was blissfully out of cell service range and in the mountains riding/camping. Rode in an endurance race (25 miles). Very body sore and tired .Likely going to see a jump when I weigh in tomorrow morning due to the water retention from the hard physical effort. Stay tuned.

    March- Beginning weight 212
    End of June weight -200.8
    July 31- 192.6 (my goal was 197 so I made it and beat it!)

    August goals- 187 lbs- focusing on strength training , continued fitness level improvement.

    August 1-5 we were on vacation
    8/5- 194.7
    8/6- 195- this might take longer than I expected
    8/9-191.4

    Female – wrong side of 65; wrong side of average height!

    Previous Months:-
    March SW – 60.5kg
    31 March EW – 58.8kg
    30 April EW – 57.0kg
    31 May EW – 55.0kg
    30 June EW - 54.2kg
    31 July EW – 53.5kg

    March Start Waist – 83cm
    31 July End Waist – 73.5cm

    UGW - 53kg

    Mini Goals August:
    1. Post here every day for the rest of the month.
    2. Lose 0.3kg in weight (July end weight was 53.5 kg, so goal is 53.2kg)
    3. Lose 0.5cm from my waist

    1 August – 53.7kg
    2 August – 53.7kg
    3 August – 54.0kg
    4 August – 54.3kg
    5 August – 54.3kg
    6 August – 53.8kg
    7 August – 54.0kg
    8 August – 53.5kg
    9 August – 53.7kg
    10 August – 54.3kg
    11 August – 53.9kg
    12 August – 54.1kg

    Have upped the number of weights sessions per week to four plus a climb and realising I am hungry most of the time. Feel like I’m stuck between wanting to lose another couple of cm from my waist so I can fit easily into my smart black trousers but needing to eat enough to fuel the weights sessions so need to work on that. Possibly a timing issue but I find it difficult to eat in the mornings so most of my calories are post 7 p.m.

    Over the weekend, the penny has finally dropped that salty snacks/pizza with wine = an attack of acid reflux. Friday nights will never be the same again (although I’m not giving up the wine!).

    Have a good Monday everyone.

    8-6-195
    8/9-191.4
    8/10- endurance ride
    8/11- DNW
    8/12-195.1- As I mentioned yesterday, I had a tough physically demanding weekend. I ate a few things like white bread hamburger /hot dog buns that might not have helped but I think /hope the gain is the muscle soreness/water retention. I definitely seem to go up on the scale everytime my muscles get sore. This seems like a big jump though.. Last week's loss was due to no appetite for three days due to the GLP-1 meds so I don't know if I am stalled out or just a mix of issues happening.
    I am hoping today I will just do a nice 2 mile walk and drinking alot of water

    13 August – 54.1kg

    Weights tonight. Weather has cooled slightly which I’m grateful for. Only hope that the aural migraines that happened Sunday and Monday don't decide to make today a hat-trick. No idea why, haven’t had one for years.

    Pleased to hear your dog is improving @kellyswimmer

    Previous Info:
    Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again. I'm not making this a race - I'm doing this at my pace. This year has given me a few challenges - but I'm still working toward weight loss goals. ✨

    @SofaKween Fingers crossed you don't have to deal with more migraines. Enjoy the weights tonight.

    @dannytrees1 Enjoy the woodsplitting. Snow shoveling is my aerobic activity of choice, but not a lot of that in the summer, LOL.

    @kellyswimmer Sending good energy. I hope things with the dog continue to improve. To take some stress off of you, don't consider it a bad month -- just understand this is what it is now. You are still monitoring your progress, you're still checking in here -- right now you are rightfully focused where you need to be, and doing what you can weight-wise. <3

    @HappyDonkey75 I hope things even out and you are starting to feel better. Maybe it was a few things hitting all at once. Hopefully the GLP-1 meds are helping overall though!

    @AuroraUwU0 Great attitude to have this week - it is what it is; and moving forward with renewed focus.

    I hope everyone else that flies by today is doing well. Have a great Tuesday.

    Still minding calories while out of town. Overindulged a bit yesterday evening but I tracked it all. Back home with the scale tomorrow morning so that’ll be interesting.

    8/10- endurance ride
    8/11- DNW
    8/12-195.1( endurance ride weekend)
    **** managed to take a 3.5 mile walk and did a few SIT cycles of a jog to spike my heart rate for 1 minute intervals. It was a a struggle with how sore I was but I thought it might help flush some built up lactic acid out. I did feel less sore afterwards and better today /

    8/13-193.5
    I sure would like this number to be below 190 right now.. :( feeling pretty impatient with things today but I am also working off of about 3.5 hours of sleep)

    Sleep is another area I am working on sorting out. I function best with about 8-9 hrs of sleep but I mostly only get about 6 hrs. I have had some issues with insomnia that has started since the GLP meds. I wake up like clock work between 2-3 am . I can't always get back to sleep. last night was one of those nights.
