Weight Loss Challenge for August! (OPEN)

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.0 -

I am joining the weight loss challenge for August. I am new to posting thought if I joined a group I would get more motivation.
Current weight 144
Goal. 135
I try to workout out At least 3 days a week but sometimes more.
Personal challenge:: Using my spinning package at the gym everyday, :happy: instead of twice a week..0 -
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!0 -
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

My biggest goal is to work out 5 days per week every week including going for a jog at least once a week.0 -

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.0
