August Goals
Replies

8/2: 167.6Aug 3 I am doing a 5k, I want to be under 40 minutes.
SW 7/26 is 170. Goal August weight is 165. Weigh in on Fridays. I look forward to it
While I am happy to have lost that 2.4, I am a little concerned that my calorie goal is low. I felt tired this week and had a difficult time motivating myself to exercise. I do eat bavk exercise calories, but I don't think it was enough. I upped my calorie goal a bit, and plan to go over goal a bit today since I run a 5k tomorrow.
I had an issue with energy this week as well. I had to really force myself to exercise. I am upping my iron (I didn't have lots of red meat lately) so I hope that helps.
Good luck on your race tomorrow!0 -

Great idea!
SW-131
GW-126
My goal is to drop 5 lbs, but it would be great to even lose a couple wihtin this time frame. I also want to improve on my lifts I started this month.
8/2 weighed in at 130.
I was very happy with this but after overeating a bit this weekend and overindulging I think it may be up a liitle. So back to it today!0 -

Weigh in on friday was 135 which I was totally shocked. Weekend activity has put me back up at 136.4 this morning but I am not disheartened by it. Will continue to strive towards goal of 5lbs loss by end of august.
Aiming to work out minimum 3 times this week - including 2 kickboxing classes.
Good luck everyone.0 -

So I'm worried about being able to exercise & eating healthy but I'll be on my feet all day so hopefully that helps. I hope we all meet our goal weight & anymore who is active on MFP & motivated, feel free to add me!0 -

8/9: VERY pleased with myself. I lowered my beginning calorie goal, upped my water goal and started the Shred this week. I feel great! I was worried that going back down to a 1200 calorie diet was going to leave me hungry and feeling sluggish. But I am eating back exercise calories, drinking between 8-10 cups of water a day and am feeling great!
MY PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK:
8/10: 30DS L1D5
8/11: Cleaning (huge manufacturing building that takes 6-7 hours of vigorous cleaning) and some yoga after to stretch and hopefully prevent myself from being too sore to move!
8/12: 30DS L1D6
8/13: 30DS L1D7
8/14: YOGA
8/15: 30DS L1D8
8/16: 30DS L1D9
*Will also be doing a 20 minute walk on my lunch break at least 2-3 days, but I don't know which ones, yet...0 -

Two pounds lost...but today I'm donating blood, last time I donated I got really dizzy so in preparation I did a bit of a meat-and-carb reefed the last 2 days. Gained a pound, I stayed within maintenance and granted it isn't fat (more likely it's glycogen restoration) but it's sad how quick it's come on. After my donation today I'll go back to my goal count the next 2 days and see how Friday goes.0 -
Here I go again gaining and losing the same 15 pounds over and over. At my high point 190 5 years ago. Since then I am averaging 165 pounds, as soon as I DROP TO 149 I have consistanly let myself relax and all my old habits fall back into place. So here I sit back at 160 pounds again!!!!!!!!!!!
It starts by allowing myself to drink coffee with sugared creamer of course.
MY GOAL FOR THE REST OF AUGUST : No coffee, and hold myself accountable by entering on MFP daily.
I hope with support from all of you I can finally say goodbye to this roller coaster.0 -

I feel the same way! I'm trying not to let myself drift back into that zone of comfort and slack off but I'm scared it will happen! You can do it, good luck!0 -

I'm in a similar situation. My highest has been 185lbs & I'm usually somewhere between 160-170lbs. Last Fall, I got down to 145lbs & of course, stopped logging in to MFP, started sneaking in treats, fast food, etc & after New Years, I was up to 155lbs! I am determined to get down to a healthy BMI (132lbs) & I've got 24lbs left to go! Feel free to add me if you want (:0 -
So I'm a little late to the party, but I think I would like to loose 3 lbs by the end of August. I did really great with MFP before I got pregnant with my second, and have just recently started to get back on track with my eating and exercise. My goal is to work out at least 5 days a week and to log my food everyday (even if I made choices I don't like).0

8/16: Well. WTH. I didn't stray too far off the beaten path. I walked 3 days at lunch, did 3 days of the shred and burned some serious calories Sunday between cleaning and going to the amusement park. My eating wasn't AWESOME but it wasn't AWFUL either. I didn't sleep well a couple of nights, but I thought going to bed early the last few nights was making up for it. Hmmm. A little bummed that things aren't going more my way. But I shall keep on keeping on.
MY PLAN FOR NEXT WEEK:
8/17: 30DS L1D8 (followed by a bunch of errands, a birthday party, then a BBQ at a campground)
8/18: 30DS L1D9 (followed by yet another birthday party)
8/19: 30DS L1D10
8/20: Yoga
8/21: 30DS L2D1
8/22: 30DS L2D2
8/23: 30DS L2D3
*At least 3 days of walking at lunch; not sure which days yet.

2lbs down this week & 1 pound to go til I hit my August goal! Worked out 3 days this week, wanted to workout 4 days but stayed active everyday. Only went over my calories once.0 -

But, the two days since I've been 164.2, so that may have been a low fluctuation.
We have made the (scary??) decision to homeschool. So, this week and next, my goal is to encourage my daughter to be fit with me. We are going to the rec center together, so she can rock climb (Phys Ed). She will help with healthy meal planning (Home Ec). She's already in tumbling, and already in great shape, but if I'm going to get myself fit and healthy I need to pass it on to her; the schools here certainly won't! Their lunch schedule is ridiculous.
Anyway. I'm going to aim to eat within calories, and work out while she's tumbling and rock climbing, and see where that takes me. Cheers!0 -
