GW 120ish (short and small boned)
I adjusted my carbs up a bit so that I could have more fruit. Unfortunately I used up the extra carbs with wine instead. On the plus side, I did stay within my allowance, but I’m putting my carb goals back where they were and will try adding in a little fruit later when I’m closer to maintenance.
Goals for June: Drink more water and less coffee, spend more time moving and less time sitting, and weigh in at 132.3 -
I'm trying for modest weight loss, since that works best for me.
Looking to do:
1425 calories
50g carbs
60g protein
No grains at all
8-10 cups of water a day.
Pretty basic stuff, though I have trouble usually by eating too much protein and too little fat. Those old habits die hard. I also have trouble giving up fruit, but I can do berries all summer, so it's not too bad.
If that doesn't work I guess I can trim back on the carbs and just eat vegetables.2 -
Wow, lots of successes. Working on mine!
~28 g carbs (6%-ish, try to stay under 30)
73% fat
21% protein
Water is never an issue (might be too much, sometimes...and not enough sodium)
I could work more on my activity, but I've got a frozen shoulder and taking it easy

We are super close in size! Good luck! You got this!2 -
For me, my goal has been to not let the lack of movement on my scale get me down. To remind myself that I'm getting healthier and my body is healing 30 years of damage. I have been successfully doing this, and truly haven't worried
However,
It doesn't mean I wasn't excited to get on the scale this morning and see I finally hit a 20lb weightloss! So excited to see that and it's such a motivator. I'd love to lose another 10 by the end of the month and get myself out of the 300s, but if I don't, it's ok. I'm getting healthy and that's my main goal.

just coming towards the end of my 3rd day of zero carbs and feeling amazing
<5g carbs - definitely achieving this, only eating meat and fat so far so what carbs I am getting is what is in the particular meats I am eating
<2020 cals - so far I am still managing to be way under this, and I am eating to hunger - am also finding my hunger is diminishing too which is fab
>2 litres of water - I have stopped drinking coffee and only occasionally having an Earl Grey Tea so the rest of what I am drinking is water and so far I am still achieving 2.5litres of water
30 mins exercise per day - I haven't managed this one yet, but this will definitely be added in
Log everyday - so far so good, not forgot to log anything yet4 -

SW for July: 156.9 (First time joining a thread, and brand new to LCHF
CW: 156.9
GW: For the Month I would like to lose 6.9 to be at 150
My Daily Goals:
1) Get 12000 steps a day (fitbit)
2) all food logged, no" guesstimates" lol
3) carbs 73g Fat 89g Protein 91g or keep my Macro close to this (20%/55%/25%)
4) Stay under 1450 Cals
5) 1895 ml of water (8 glasses a day)4 -
Here I go, participating in my very first challenge.
SW: 172
CW: 169
GW: 135
Nutrition goals for the month: Log every day, keep net carbs at under 70g per day.
Exercise goal for the month: At least 30 mins. of exertion every day, enough to get heart rate up & sustained. 2 mile walk at least 5x per week.
Attitude goal: shift from thinking of myself as "dieting" to thinking of myself as "taking care of myself." When I quit smoking (many) years ago, I was successful not because I refrained from smoking, but because I began to see myself as a non-smoker. If I was a non-smoker, why would I smoke? Precisely this idea is what I want to attain here: a change in perspective to thinking of myself as an active, lean person - maybe this way I can finally get down to goal.2 -
SW: 206 (June 1st)
CW: 198.4
GW: 150
My daily goals are:
1) log every day
2) plan/cook ahead, instead of waiting until I'm hungry and grabbing the first thing I can lay my hands on, which is usually not as healthy as I would like. I'm hoping to save carbs, guilt, frustration and money!
3) drink more water2 -

Goal onederland
I have fallen off walking due to heat and I have been slipping and eating sugar and flour here and there.
Goal sugar back out...wheat back out.
6 days of walking a week with one rest day.

Can't seem to cut and paste.
So, for 7/2:
Food, fluids, electrolytes, ☆
Home, art, mend, ☆
Log, pre-log, ☆
Scale died so no weigh in til replaced.
Two areas not attended to:
Activity
Job search.
I am good with yesterday's progress, today so far is on track.
Of interest is that my activity and job search in my mind are both priority items, more than some of the other things - so natch, I leave those things undone. I'm so predictable!
Anyway, I've got a month to work on that.
Feel like this month will be a good one.
