Well, my starting weight for this challenge was 144.2 and today at my weigh in I'm at 141.4 --- only a 1.4 pound/week average when I was hoping to lose 8 this month but that's okay! Today when I weighed in I had hit my 20 lb weight loss (since beginning in Mid May) so I can't be too upset that the scale isn't moving more drastically! I've been keeping up with my goals of water and vegetables for the month, so I'm thinking maybe trying to eat back at least 1/2 of my exercise calories every day to see if my weight loss is more each week with that method -- I usually burn about 600/day and it's difficult to net 1200 for me but I'll have to work at that! Hope everyone else is seeing good results this month!0

Well done everyone!
Not weighing in till friday in line with you all but am so happy to have hit 179.5 today! that brings me into the 170 odd range and feels wonderful! I'm 3lb away from my pre-pregnancy weight and feel sooooo ready to move below this now so that's great stuff.. haven't been below that 3lb for around 12 years!!
Whats everyone up to this weekend? I had a lovely ride in the woods (short) then a riding lesson on my horse, fab but blooming hard work (for us both). Am aiming for a lesson weekly now as it's a different type of riding and great for both of us.0 -
Based on my current stats, MFP has me set to eat 1930 cal/day. (1 lb/ week setting) Since I've stalled for the past month, what would you loves suggest I do? Drop calories down to 2 lb/ week deficit? or...
I'll take any suggestions :oP0 -
I'm in!
My starting weight is 225.6 as of today.
My weight loss goal for August is 4lbs
My personal challenge would be to exercise at least 6 times a week in August. Good luck everyone!0 -
Yesterday my trainer totally kicked my butt. She does a total body workout. We did strength training, some isometric exercises, and some cardio. Albeit, I did not burn more calories than I've been burning on average, BUT I burned more than I have when just doing strength training, so it was definitely a great workout and I will say I stayed within my goals of working out harder.0

BAD BAD weekend for me. Didn't log food Saturday or Sunday, didn't workout, went to eat at Cracker Barrel for breakfast Sunday AND Zaxby's for dinner that night too. Feel like crap now and a lot less motivated than I was before the weekend. Why are weekends so dang hard?! Now I just have to convince myself once again that I CAN do it, 220 is NOT the lowest I can go, and get my butt up today and EXERCISE.0
