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!
