    Current: 220
    End of August goal: 210
    Personal challenge: Stay within calorie goal every day this month with no binging and no 'secret snacking' that I don't log.

    That's a great personal challenge! I think of it this way: even if you don't tell MFP that you had a snack, your body knows. You're only cheating yourself. It's impossible to lie to your body, so you might as well just log the food, as painful as it may be.

    Some great goals here. first day of the week and my mantra for this week (and every week I suppose) is:

    log everyday
    make a calorie deficit every day
    If I don't feel like working out, work out anyway :-)
    don't take a day off creating a deficit.

    Do the above and watch that calorie deficit turn into weight lost at the end of the week

    push hard everyone to the first weigh in on Saturday!

    good luck!

    I know I'm super late in the month, but I need motivation and help to keep on track. I started off the first few weeks great and then we moved and the last few weeks I have been bad - eating out since nothing was unpacked and our stove wasn't working and not working out at all. I really need some motivation to get back on track so I don't give up.

    Starting weight: 185
    Goal for end of August: 180

    My biggest goal is to work out 5 days per week every week including going for a jog at least once a week.

    I'm over 50 so losing weight is really hard. Current stats 5'3" 139lbs. I workout a lot and count calories but can't seem to lose. My goals: workout 5-6 times a week and burn 4000 to 5000 calories a week, remain under my calorie goal each day and HOPEFULLY lose 6 without/ minimal muscle loss. This should be possible.
