Weight Loss Challenge for August! (OPEN)
Replies
-
Time for my first weekly weigh-in (I weigh in on Fridays). Here are the stats I started the challenge with:
SW on MFP (7/29): 227.8
SW as of 08/01: 224.4
Goal for Aug: 220
Self-Challenge: Workout at least once every day.
Current weight as of this morning? 222.4! I've lost 2 lbs since the 1st, and a total of 5.4 lbs in my first week on MFP! I know the first week or two will have a bigger loss than what my average will be once my body is used to the new lifestyle, but I'll take the 5.4 lb loss this week! Yay!
Also, this means I am 2.4lbs from my goal for August. So, I'm going to change my goal to 219. That's only going to make it so that I need to lose one more pound this month, but I'll be out of the 220's if I hit that goal. :-)
Hope everyone else is having a GREAT day!!
ETA -- I've also been doing my personal goal of working out every day at least once... some days I work out two times. :-)0 -
Friday is my weigh in and I am happy happy happy to report that I am down 1.4 lbs this morning!! This week's dedication has paid off, only 6 more lbs to go to meet my August Goal!! Hopefully the day will go well, still planning on getting in my 10 cups of water and at least 30 minutes of exercise, but I am so motivated with todays loss that I'm sure I will probably do more than that!!
Happy weigh ins to all of you Friday Weighers out there!!0 -

Question for everyone! I had planned on closing the group to new sign ups (and creating a new topic for us to show that it's closed) but it seems like each day we have a few more people join us. I was thinking of leaving the sign ups open, permanently. That way people who are new to MFP and want accountability or people who just waited "too long" to join a challenge-style thread can do so. What do you all think?0

Checking in for today - day 3 - check!
Got in all my water and kept up with tracking...
Goal 2 for August is to start going back to the gym. That starts Monday. Trying to get myself psyched up for that...
I don't think I'd decided on an official weigh-in day yet, but I think I'm going to go with Friday. Then I have a whole week to get over anything awful that happens over the weekend
Hope everyone else had a great day!
Great idea to have a Friday weigh in! I'm with you. Friday it is. I'm doing pretty good so far, its been great reading about everyone's progress. Keep it up!
I can get into the friday weigh ins!
7/29: 246.1

Well, I didn't go over my calorie burn from yesterday. I was close though. I'm hoping to make up for it tomorrow. I would like to burn 650 calories tomorrow. It's only 30 more, so it shouldn't be more than like 5 extra minutes keeping the heartrate up.
I ate something from a restaurant today, but I only ate 1/3 of it, and put the rest in the freezer. I ball parked the calories on the high level, and I'm only going to eat back 50% of my exercise calories (I'm only on the 500 calorie deficit so I'm not worried about going into starvation mode).0 -

Aim is to get into the 170's before sept so as I have 3.5 weeks left I need to get my butt in gear!0 -
Happy Friday everyone!
Yesterday was another good day. I was over on my calories, but only by 15 calories, so I'm putting it out of my head. I did a total of an hour of walking, and did a half an hour of of ST (which I am feeling today!)
Today I am on track so far on my eating (I actually suspect I am going to be quite a bit under) and I am getting ready to leave to go to the gym to get in 45 minutes of cardio. Hope that everyone has a great weekend! Weekends are my hardest time to stay on track (it's a lot easier not to eat when I'm at work and don't have any food in front of me!) but I am going to stay strong!0 -
Well I don't really have a good update to post so far.... But here goes. I'm visiting family so can't really 'choose' food as I would at home, however I am having smaller portions and the healthier versions. My 30 day shred has arrived in the post... But it's at home 240 miles away.... So I have been dragging my dad for a half hour walk everyday. I have however stuck to my 'no bread' pledge so somethings going right.
Hope everyone else is doing better.0 -

its not all about the numbers on the scale. i know from experience. i just came off of a 4-5 week stand still where my weight did not budge an inch! but i was losing inches. during that time i lost a total of 8 inches all over my body. if you are using weights of any kind you have to remember than building muscle is great because muscle burns fat. so if you are building muscle the scale may not move although the fat is disaparing. just keep working at it and it will start to come off again. have faith in your self and dont give up!0 -
Checking in - today was my weigh-in day, and I'm happy to report:
SW (8/1): 272.5
CW (8/5): 267.5
Yay! Excited to be 5 lbs down, and headed toward both my August goal and my total goal!
I've done very well with the water and tracking this week. My mini-week goal for next week is to head back to the gym, now that I have the eating a bit more under control. Oh, boy.
Happy to see others with good news to report. Stay focused, and you will succeed! :flowerforyou:0 -
I'm all about this!
