It happened today....WHOOSH! 199.2!!!!!!

My first peek at ONEderland!

I will likely fluctuate up and down for a week or two before the average starts with a 1, and that is OK.

20 months of MFP and this challenge thread every month have helped tremendously. I still have a while to get to goal, but this psychological barrier is coming down!!!

I will check in again on Sunday as usual, but I had to share today!

maureenkhilde · August 2018

Original starting weight : 304.7 May 5th 2018
August starting weight : 265.3 as of July 28th, I weigh in on Saturdays
August goal : Lose 7.3 pounds, so 258
Ultimate goal : Undecided, still way too many to go. At this point, I go for 8% body weight loss, then keep resetting.

August 4 262
August 11 258 I was in the zone this week total focus
August 18 I have surgery on the 13th and will be sporting a 12 day casetn right arm so not weighing in on the 18th.
August 25 My goal with surgery is to not gain anything to maintain or lose a pound for a stretch goal for month.
I lost .5 of a pound, I was amazed really. Because I got heavy duty medication for the pain. And good grief it sure bound up my insides.

So total for August I lost is 7.8 lbs.

I weigh in on Saturdays.

Good Luck everyone. I find these 5 lb and more challenges each month to be great motivators.

Hi! I did this challenge in July, very proud of myself!

Total loss for July : 7.1 lbs.

Here is for August:

August 5 - 162.5 - I ate quite a lot but was also very active. happy the scale agrees

August 12 - no scale this week so who knows?
August 19 - 159.6 - not bad!

One more week to go and I am going on vacation (maintenance break)
August 26 - 158.3 - and this ends the August challenge for me - didn't make it to August goal weight but it's ok - the goal was probably too ambitious!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

As I posted the other day, I zoomed into ONEderland this week! 2 days in a row. I am 200 even today, that is OK it fits my pattern. I expect to fluctuate a bit before that 2 is in my rear-view mirror for good. I am also headed out on vacation next weekend so my routine will be derailed. We'll see how I do, but either way, when I return, I will go back to doing what I am doing.

My routine is already off because I am not out fishing this weekend, we are getting things in order for our trip.

Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

Lowest since 1999: 195.

Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

Weekly averages:

July 30th to August 5th: 202.4
August 6th to August 12th: 201.7
August 13th to August 19th: 200.8
August 20th to August 26th: 200.3

Loss for August: 2.1 lbs.

MFP Loss: 32.7 lbs.

Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 42.7 lbs.

I will check in on the 31st, Friday, and see you in the September thread!

Move more, eat less.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty bummed about this. I even went to the gym 6 times last week and have been quite conscious about my calories. Here's to hoping it's water retention. Also, because my floor is uneven, I each time I weigh it it's a different number, so this still may be inaccurate...

pjmfitforme · August 2018

Weigh in on Saturday

August 11-186.4 (lost 0.8 lbs) Was hoping for more
August 18-185.6 (lost 0.8 lbs) Was hoping for more
August 25-183.4-(lost 2.2 lbs) not sure I believe it!
August 31

Total August weight loss-3.8 lbs. Still going in the right direction, just more slowly than I hoped for.
