    This is very much in line with my goal to lose 19 lbs by September. I’m new to taking this weight loss thing seriously and would love to share accountability!

    This morning I climbed a very steep hill for 30 mind and came back down for 30 and now o get to eat a little more today! Love that feeling of being able to have more fun with food than on a non exercise day. That’s how I’m working my program... how about you guys?

    First week is always lots of water and I was eating poorly the weekend before my first official weigh-in of 4/23 which is when I joined this challenge so here goes:

    April 23 weigh in: 180.8 (all time high)
    April 30 weigh in: 174.6
    June 1st weigh in:
    July 1st weigh in:
    August 1st weigh in:
    September 1st goal: 155*
    Ultimate goal: 140* for my wedding in April 2019

    *having majorly changed my body composition putting on a lot of muscle and lost a lot of fat. So overall I would like to lose more than 40 lbs of fat for my ultimate goal but gain back muscle

    This week: 200.4

    April 1st weigh in: 203
    Ultimate goal weight: 160

    I am upset that I gained this week. I had a 4 day work conference, tried to eat mostly healthy, but had 3 desserts and drank alcohol every day. So I guess I should be happy that I didn’t gain more. I am getting back on track this week!

    What a positive attitude. I’m impressed that you you only gained around a half a pound in exchange for desserts and booze. I think I’ll let myself have a treat of I went away for a workcation. Back on track though!

    OK so today was my nieces Birthday which involved a family dinner at the golf club. I walked today so I would have some wiggle room. Managed to stay inside my calorie count and did have cake. Victory for a day!
    Does anyone know how to adjust your start weight? I guessed mine based on being on a scale fully clothed with my bag over my shoulder. Today I weighed myself and discovered I guessed wrong missing it by 2.5 pounds so I would like to adjust my start weight so it is accurate. ( I did not have a scale at home but now I do)

    IF you mean your MFP Start weight - on you My Home tab (where you enter your food and exercise) there is also a Goal option. You can change it there.

    Hey.

    I've had a good start but really wasn't to get down and stay down. Could do with a few more friends for motivation!

    Cheers
