    1st September:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -4 lbs
    Weight lost/gained this month: -6 lbs

    Successes/struggles this week: Not sure HOW ON EARTH I've lost 4 lbs but it seems I have!! After a not great week last week (putting on .75 lbs) I've certainly been more focused this week and have been exercising more since my fitbit arrived on Monday. I've been sneakily weighing in most days and knew I'd be at least 2 lbs down this morning but the other 2 lbs seem to have come from nowhere! I'm off on holiday on Monday so goal for the next week will be not going overboard and gaining too much. Hopefully we'll manage to do a fair amount of walking to offset the eating. Oh, and I fully intend to have takeaway pizza tonight!

    I feel myself tightening up so all the gym work is paying off....I need not to focus as much on the numbers but we all know how difficult that is! :p

    Successes/struggles this week: I've made my goal for the month! I'm a little surprised because the last week has been so busy and weight had not been showing any change. I need to continue to make time for exercise now that the fall semester of teaching is here, and do a better job planning what to bring for lunch every day.

    1st September:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -2
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 6.8

    successes/struggles this week: This entire week felt like falure and I expected to gain weight, but actually I had a mini whoosh in the past two days. I had to take more time off work to take my sister to the ER and then stay with her for a couple of days, and now I am watching mmy nephews any chance I get to let her recover from whooping cough and pneumonia. I wanted to use my spare time to declutter, but, with all that happened, my living room floor is covered with papers, clothes and boxes, and on top of that are 3 little munchkins demanding cereal. On a bright sight I didn't resort to night binging under stress this time. I just went to bed when a day was over, even though I hadn't been too diligent in logging.

    Final Goal Weight: 170 lbs

    1st August: 223 lbs (101 kgs)

    15th August: 213.5 lbs (96.8 kgs)
    22nd August: 209 lbs (94.8 kgs)
    29th August: 207 lbs (93.8 kgs)
    1st September:

    Weight lost/gained this week: - 2 lbs (.9 kgs)
    Weight lost/gained this month: - 16 lbs (7.2 kgs)

    Successes/struggles this week:
    Week 1: Very pleased this week. Blew through my original goal of 217 lbs and adjusted downward to 210 lbs. Long walks, 7-8 miles a day, coupled with a calorie deficit each day did the trick. I don't expect this every week though. Plan to celebrate with a glass of wine tonight!

    Week 2: Not as good as last week but moving in the right direction. Out of town company for a couple of days had an impact for sure. Still walking every day so that helps. Another glass of wine tonight!

    Week 3: Pleased with myself again this week with a 4+ lbs weight loss. A pound of that was a blood donation today. Feel like that is kinda cheating but I will take it anyway. I will probably get it back by next weeks weigh in. Continuing to eat at a calorie deficit and walk daily for exercise. Definitely a glass of wine tonight!

    Week 4: Still moving in the right direction. Expected a slow down so not disappointed.

    1st September:

    Weight lost/gained this week: -2.5
    Weight lost/gained this month: -5.5

    Successes/struggles this week: I'm continuing the downward trend, which is good. Hoping to be out of the 290s by final weigh-in on Tuesday and I got a new FitBit ChargeHR to help. My struggles have been the weekends where my eating patterns aren't as scheduled as they are during the week and I go over calories whereas during the week I tend to pre-log and know exactly what's going in my mouth. I've also realized that I'm not (usually) going to be losing 2#/week so I need to make a more realistic goal of ~6# per month and be excited when I surpass that.

    Successes/struggles this week: Wow, talk about a woosh! 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks, but who knows what was going on with the gain to 230. In any case, I couldn't be happier. I'm really starting to see more definition in my arms thanks to the 30 Day Shred, and have lost a little more around my waist, which is perfect, because that has the biggest impact on cardiovascular health indicators. Not really any struggles this week, just so happy some weight is finally coming off! After the past two months I've had, I'm thrilled at 2 pounds.

    I lose weight very slowly though I workout 5 times per week for 2 hours or more per session.
    Looking to watch what I eat more without necessarily going on a super restrictive diet.

    Start Weight (1st August ): 176lbs
    Goal Weight (1st June): 173lbs

    1st August: 176
    8th August: 175. Upped my activity because of GoTs.
    15th August: 175. Suffering some knee pain so had to ease up this week.
    22nd August: 174. At a family wedding for two days but was very active so still lost.
    29th August: 171. :grin: Woo Hoo! Hurrah for Game of Thrones challenges. Two days to go to the end of the month.
    31st August: 171. :grin: I am so chuffed with this month's weight loss.

    Week 4
    Weight lost/gained this week: -3
    Weight lost/gained this month: -5

    Successes: This week I was really concentrating on strength and flexibility and eliminating late night snacking. I increased my calorie goal but my deficit has been above 1000 most days because of GoTs challenges.
    Struggles: Finding time to keep my daily steps up. Then I found the indoor walking vids on YouTube.

    I really wasn't expecting this this month. My weight loss had slowed down so much. My goal for this year is to lose 1lb per week, so I am delighted to be ahead on that. September? Bring it on.

    17th August: 98.5
    24nd August:98.5
    31th August:96.5
    3rd September: (my b-day)

    Weight lost this week: 2kg
    Weight lost this month: 5.3kg

    Successes/struggles this week:

    I really don't know how this happened. I was doubting that I would have reached my goal. But I've gone beyond it. I guess CICO really and truly does work.

    I struggled a lot with cravings but I just kept below my calorie goal(only just)- so it has paid off.

    Well done to everyone and see you in the September challenge!

    Successes/struggles this week: Again, bit frustrating as dropped to 61.1kg on Thursday and back up to 61.4kg next day. Fluctuations are pants! lol
    I feel myself tightening up so all the gym work is paying off....I need not to focus as much on the numbers but we all know how difficult that is! :p
    Thats great keep going, and yeah you're right we don't have to focus on numbers, and by the way we both have the same height :p what is your goal weight?

    Hmmmm.....not got a set in stone goal weight. I would like to get down to 56kg but that'll be a lengthy, if even achievable, process! Hehe
    Off to Italy in two weeks so hoping to be sub 60kg, preferably 59.5kg, for that and will give myself a few kg leeway for September as fully expect to gain some back during the two weeks I'm away
