What can you improve on:
I'm tracking ALL my food honestly and I'm even drinking water. BUT I'm practically a couch potato..So again for this week my aim is to be more active.
What does more active mean? Did you want to increase your step count? Or start some type of exercise? What was your goal for the week?0 -
Birthday. TOM. Week-end with friends at the beach... Tuesday 15th is not looking good. But I am staying focused.
Missed weigh-in because I was out of town. Came back at 207. Trying to get back on track. I'll post progress on Tuesday. Weight loss this month has been dismal so far.
Upcoming weekend, will focus on hitting gym Fri - Sat and Sun0 -

I suppose I mean consistently active. I struggle to stick to any exercise, walking, yoga, climbing, body weight... it doesn't help that during the summer my daily schedule is all over the place. I'll do two days of something then nothing for a week because I have work or the kids have to go to yet another camp.
I alway do better when the kids are back at school and work (freelance) settles down a bit.
My climbing buddy is back from her holidays this weekend so I'll be back doing that again, once I start climbing it usually motivates me to do more body weight work.
Having said all that I really should work on my step count! Because of your reminder Joinn68 I will charge my Fitbit and get out and walk this week.

Tuesday 8th: 234.6 - heading in the right direction but my lowest this week was 231 so i need to get back to that! Determined to pass it by next week!
Tuesday 15th: 231.0 - feeling good about this. Weight has been frozen here for a week despite eating very well and startung to exercise. May be muscle weight or bloating due to TOM. Determined not to get discouraged and keep going down. Looking forward to seeing the numbers for next week! Currently on day 2 at the gym!
Tuesday 22nd: 228.6 - I've gone to the gym everyday except 2 rest days. Feeling great. Clothes are a little looser. Feeling less bloated. More energy and positive mood. Feeling stronger and trying to beat my distance/calories on each machine at the gym. Nutrition is also great! Determined to keep going down this Good streak!

What can you improve on;
Getting more sleep, focusing more on form when weight lifting, increasing my step count back up to 15k a day.
8/8: Still not getting enough sleep, I get up at 0400 for the gym so it's hard to get in bed early enough to get the right amount of sleep. Still gonna try though. Doing good on the 15k step goal, except on weeknds
8/15: Sleep is still an issue, but it's getting better Steps are also getting better. So close to onederland! I can't wait!! With today's weigh in I've lost 27lbs, so happy w/my progress!!
8/16 Made it down to 197 and celebrated a bit too much, not more of that

What can you improve on:
I need to remember that fueling properly is as important as eating less. Yesterday I had a day where I just hit the wall. I rode a super hard spin class on two pieces of bread. Ugh, I know better! I need healthy carbs AND protein for a ride like that. Usually I have a low sugar, high protein energy shake before a hard ride. Then afterwards I didn't replenish, but instead headed off to see the eclipse on an empty stomach.
The rest of the day I was USELESS. NO ENERGY, and I wanted to eat EVERYTHING in sight. I didn't, but I was also not making the best choices either. Lesson learned. Listen to the body, fuel right, it knows what it needs and will let you know when you aren't being smart. ;-)2 -

What can you improve on; Being active. Period. I joined the August fitness abs and squats challenge and that went well for a week but I've totally slacked off. My calorie goal reduced by 106/day so I've been adjusting to that. I don't think I'll lose 5% by the end of the month but my weight loss has been consistent so I'm happy with my progress!!

Oh well... I think it the normal scheme if things I would have gained weight in August. I didn't gain anything I'll count that as win and move on. But I really do want to get back to Onederland so Sept will be strict. A new friend I made in this challenge as been motivating me, doing tons of exercise and melting away. I'll follow her lead

14.7 pounds down this month. Had reached 154 on Monday but had a splurge day that brought me back up to 155. My ultimate goal weight is 144 pounds. Let's see if September will be the month to see it. It would be great because my birthday is on the 16th of September. It would be a great gift to myself if I could get there by my birthday.4 -

Yes! Down 6 pounds for this challenge! That is about how much I gained from a vacation in April and then a couple of trips in June and July. I had gone from 193 in July 2016 to 137 in April 2017, but got up to about 145ish in July after not logging and just eating what I wanted while on vacations. It took a while to get it off, but I did it! Now, the question for me in the future will be, is it worth setting aside tracking and eating whatever I want while on vacation in future? Hmmmmm. It's crazy that I am almost ready to start maintenance, which I actually found harder than working for a weight loss.
What can you improve on? I tend to overeat when away from home on vacation, at a restaurant, or at a friend/relative's home for dinner. Also, being over the calorie goal for the day does not mean the day is shot, and I should just eat whatever for the rest of the day.2 -

What can you improve on? Eat less refined sugar and Go to the gym 6 times weekly.
So I did eat a little (and I do mean little) less sugar than usual and made it to the gym at least 6 times/ week on two occasions and the result as of this mornings weigh in is a 6.6 lb loss! I will take it.1 -
