    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.

    Successes this week: I'm still in that good space: staying within calories, exercising everyday, no late night snacks, feeling better. I haven't been this consistent in years. 62 day streak! :)

    Struggles this week: Between 2-4 pm have been tough this week. I had a snack but I always felt that I wanted more. >:)

    I made my monthly goal this week but I'm not celebrating yet. I'll wait for the final weigh-in.

    Have a great weekend! <3
    11lbs thats great keep on going :)

    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.

    August 2015 Weight Loss Challenge

    Name: Terri
    Age: 69
    Height: 5'2"

    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.

    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!

    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
