    August 2 196
    Aug 8 196 I’m ok with this number. Had friends down for the weekend and now Tom. Been working out everyday and knowing I’ll want junk for supper I have been keeping lunch low calorie.
    Aug 15 195.5. Down but ugh. Work is keeping me hopping so not really eating lunch and when I do it’s not until 1 and only half of what I’ve brought. Working out and watching what I eat so idk what’s up. Grrr.

    Aug 23 196 😒
    Aug 29 196 ugh. Im stressed at work so idk if that is contributing to not losing. Im not really eating so idk. Took a 3 day weekend so hopefully that will help me mentally. May go to my happy place (food and wine festival at Epcot) tomorrow so hoping that helps.

    I am not sure I believe the scale today..Nutrition from yesterday was a bit of a train wreck.. I don't know what happened. i wanted comfort food for lunch( it was cold and rainy) which translated to a grilled cheese and left over roasted broccoli . I thought I would get plenty of protein for an afternoon protein shake but that never happened and then I thought I would get ALOT more protein in beef barley soup I made but it was alot lower than I thought, only aboug 12 gm . At the end of the day I only ended up with 70 g of protein and I target 113 g..so way off.
    think I need to do more protein shakes (but I was getting so sick of them I stopped) in between meals because I don't do well otherwise. if I eat enough food to get enough protein I am too stuffed to eat a decent dinner.
    Generally if I don't hit my protein and carb macros I don't drop consistently so tomorrow and the next day will give me a better picture if I acutally did hit my goal..

    I go for my third and final knee injection today. I have noticed the second one did help bring quite a bit of swelling down and I want to say it seems to be tolerating more and more squats and lunges with less angriness after so I am hopeful this is the answer!

    TWO MORE DAYS YA'll ! Hang in there everyone and keep working hard...

    @SofaKween I hope you are feeling much better soon - your body needs to heal, so give it some time to do its magic. ✨💛
    @HappyDonkey75 Sometimes indulging in a food you don't regularly eat can jumpstart the metabolism. Even if the scale swings the other way tomorrow, take it for what it is, the weight at that time. And I'm glad to hear the shots have really helped!

    Yesterday I took a half day off to travel to my ortho to get my final Synvisc shot for me knee. Doc says I should know within a month if it's going to work but I feel like it already has been? maybe just in my head but it seems to be less achy after workouts than it was a month ago.. Fingers crossed.

    Looking forward to a long weekend. We were supposed to have company but that might not happen afterall. Should know today . I won't be sad if they don't make it. I need some time to just work on home projects for the fall. My dad is going in for surgery in a few weeks, (maybe sooner ) for a partial nephrectomy . I have to make travel plans for that as soon as we get a firm travel date.

    Scales have taken pity on my misery. Sleep is still illusive but have a dentist appointment booked for tomorrow morning so will see what they say. Am going to alternate pain meds to today rather than take all at once as I think this will help with pain management. Planning on doing nothing except a lazy day, eating very soft food that needs no chewing, and try to doze if I can. Feeling optimistic.

    Original end-August goal reached. Stretch target reached. Just shy of Ultra stretch target. But really it's time for me to slow down the weight loss. I know what to do to lose weight but I don't know what to do to tighten the loose skin.

    WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY
    • Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB
    • End 31st July - 91.5KG / 201LB
    • July - Month 1 loss = 7.1KG / 16LB

    WHAT I DID IN AUGUST
    • August - Month 2 target loss = 3.8KG / 8.4LB, down to 87.7KG/193LB according to original plan <- Target hit
    • Stretch Target to lose 4.5KG / 10LB, down to 87KG/192LB <- Target hit
    • Ultra Stretch Target to lose 5.4KG / 12LB, down to 86.1KG/190LB <- Target missed, hit only 86.45KG/190.6LB
    • Start 1st Aug - 91.5KG / 201LB
    • End 31st Aug - 86.5KG / 191LB
    • August - Month 2 loss = 5.0KG / 10LB

    TOTAL 2 MONTHS PROGRESS
    • Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB
    • End 31st Aug - 86.5KG / 191LB
    • Total 2 months loss = 12.1KG / 26LB


    AUGUST WEIGH-IN
    • Aug 1 - 91.55 KG / 201.4 LB
    • Aug 7 - 90.7 KG / 199.5 LB

    • Aug 28 - 87.2 KG / 192.2 LB
    • Aug 31 - 86.45 KG / 190.6LB

    • Aug 9 - 90.7KG / 200LB (Day 40) <- TARGET HIT
    • Aug 19 - 89.3KG / 196.9LB (Day 50 - Halfway Mark) <- TARGET HIT
    • Aug 30 - 87.7KG / 193LB (End August goal) <- TARGET HIT

    30 August – 53.3kg
    31 August – 53.1kg

    Drop in the scales is purely temporary. Am managing to eat very soft food but appetite is low so focus is on calorie rich foods whilst the antibiotics work their magic. I did manage to sleep last night, and pain meds seem to work much more quickly so everything going in the right direction.

    Goal for September is going to keep weight between 53 – 54kg.

    Good morning everyone
    Well I expected to lose more weight than I did..but I have realized it’s a bit of a roller coaster ride.
    A little misbehaving on a weekend and throw things right out of whack with me… so I’m happy with the results and September I’m not going to expect as much
    So my new goal for September is
    To lose Just 3 pounds that will make me happy .
    It be a total of 20 pounds in 3 months.. 2 bags of potatoes that I won’t be carrying around with me all day.
    See Yaa all tomorrow 👍🤠

    I've thought about it. My Sept goals shall be:

    Drop from 86.5KG/191LB to 82.3KG/181LB
    Drop from 23.2% body fat to 19.4% body fat.

    That's dropping 4.2KG / 9.3LB of weight. I am accounting for a bit of drop in muscle mass if I am being aggressive in calorie cutting. This means I need to create a 32,340 calorie deficit, over 30 days. I have a TDEE of about 2,200 calories, assuming I don't exercise. Weekly, I need to create a calorie deficit of 7,546 calories. I will be eating about 1,600 calories a day. Without exercise, I will have a deficit of 600 calories daily, or 4,200 calories a week. I need 3,346 calories of activity a week, which averages out to 478 calories a day in exercise. Very hard but I am going to try.

    August was good. Things I learned:
    Dropping calorie limit by 100 was effective so I think 1200 is a good number for consistent weight loss without being unsustainably strict. This gives me 2lbs loss per month. Can i lose faster? Maybe, maybe not. I had some hunger but planning food intake will help with that. Increasing my calorie limit for 3 days when my hormones are at their worst is a good trick for giving myself grace without letting things get totally out of control.

    August was a really good month for me. I joined a gym and have gone 4x/week consistently, tracked consistently everyday, didn't have fast food, increased my water intake. Just overall feeling really good. I started listening to audiobooks and podcasts about health and fitness and it is really motivating me. I even joined Masterclass and am taking some classes on home cooking, habit creation and fitness. Loving the journey! Feeling great.

    August was pretty good, on average I saw about 7.5 lb loss, just a few ounces over my goal but I will take it. I had an adult beverage last night and enjoyed some Lily's chocolate. Might have made the difference in the scale. Overall for August, I have gained strength and moving up in my dumbell weights. My tolerance to strength training is improving( I am much less of a cripple in the recovery period!)
    I learned that I really need to dial in the protein and carbs so I actually meet them and the weight loss becomes more consistent when those are consistent.
    September goals ? I think I will shoot for a 5lbs loss but I sure would love to get below that 180 number! At the same time I am currently at a weight I haven't seen in a few years so I am still happy about the progress.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    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. ✨

    Happy end of month, everyone! I truly appreciate how everyone is open and honest about their journey here, because it shows anyone just starting out, or restarting their weight release plan, that this does take some work. If this was easy, we wouldn't need this platform. Congrats to each of you on your progress over the past 31 days.

    I'll have the new thread for September launched by tonight. I'll post the link for it here as well so you can bookmark it. Have a great Saturday!

    Total loss: -11.8lbs

    Non weight Successes:
    - Went on a trip and had more space in the airplane seats than I did 2 months ago
    - Massive improvement in my strength, stamina, and balance at the gym
    - Slowly gaining traction at work, getting busier and retaining more regular clients
    - Healthy habits are coming more naturally now, rather than being a battle
    - Giving myself grace when the day doesn't go as planned, and continuing to make healthy choices afterwards rather than having an "all or nothing" mindset
