Hi everyone.
My first goal (started 6/9) is to hit under 200. This morning, weight was 200.5. After that, I'm taking it in 5 lb increments with no time frame set.
For July, my exercise goal is doing kettle bells and Leslie Danson walking program.
Good luck all! ☺5 -

Here's to hoping July is better than June. I did manage to lose 2.6lbs, but I felt like the whole month was me losing the same 3-5lbs over and over again. I did, however, start a 30 day body weight challenge and am on day 4. I'm sore as heck (and think that might be part of the reason why I've "gained" 3lbs in as many days).
Goals for the Month:
Exercise 5 days a week
Stop snacking
Lose 5lbs7 -
Another month flown by! June was rough, here's hoping this month will be better.
July's goal: lose 6 pounds.
Stretch goal: 10 pounds/ drop to 230. This is very aggressive but I'm going to try get as close as I can.
Non-scale goal: Drink more water. I've lapsed into barely drinking anything during the day again. Gotta do at least one bottle.6 -
I'm just starting back up after losing weight previously. Life stress and bad habits crept back in and the weight gain followed. I haven't weighed in yet but was sitting at 222lbs last week.
My goal for July is to track all my food and drink water. My more long term goal at the moment is to lose 20-25lb by the end of the year. Hopefully i've set myself achievable goals.8 -

June was a successful month for me. My goal was to end the month at 225 or less, and I achieved that right on the money. I kept my exercise goals up and I am proud. July will be a hard month because I’ll be traveling, but I’m determined not to mess up my progress.
July goals:
I would like to lose another 5lbs. I think that should be manageable for me, as it’s slightly less than my 7lb loss last month. To keep it an even number, I’d like to finish at 219lbs or less. I really want to get out of the 220’s! I would also like to continue my exercise regimen at 4x a week for 30 minutes as a minimum. In an effort to get back into yoga, I’m also starting a 30 day flexibility challenge to ease my way back in. I’m excited for this month and my new goals and I’ll be cheering everyone on!!!😊🔥7 -

Hi! I’m new to the app and really just started working on my health so I don’t know what to expect so I’m aiming for 1lb/week loss, but really I’m mostly just looking to start building good habits and changing my relationship to food so my goals for my first full month are not necessarily scale based.
I want to log all of my food daily and meet my calorie goal, excercise at least 3x a week, and meet an average of 11,000 steps a day on my Fitbit. I’m sure if I do all of that I’ll see a difference on the scale also, but at this point I just want to get into a good routine.
I would also love to have some friends on here for support/community, so please send me a friend request!12 -
I’ll join! I’ve been at it for 40 days and I’ve been easing into making better choices, so this month, I want to start refining my good choices into good habits.
SW: 259
CW: 244
My goals for July are:
lose 5 more pounds (get into the 230s)
Workout 3 days a week
Walk one day a week.
Start refining my nutrition (my macros have started to line up with MFP recommendations but my protein tends to fall short)
My 6 month goal is one-derland!
Feel free to add me if we have similar goals!5 -

My weight goal for July is 245! I'll be on vacation during the third week, so that may add to the challenge.
Non weight goals include:
biking to work at least 3x/week
riding 30+ miles each week
exploring now bike paths around town
strength exercises at least 2x/week

July goals:
Lose 6-8 lbs this month
45 minutes of cardio 4 nights a week
30 minutes of cardio on nights I strength train at least twice a week
Get to 10 minutes comfortably on the elliptical - I made it to 8, but we had two weeks of decent weather and I opted to walk in parks instead of the gym
New recipes - darn I’m a slacker on this!
June was a good month! I need to keep the focus in July!

Another month gone by, congratulations to everyone for sticking with it! If you’re new, feel free to friend me.
I feel like I did very well in June. I lost 7.2 lbs, I feel like my mood/state of mind has improved, and my habits are improving. Being in this group and setting goals has been really helpful; I’m holding myself accountable but when I fail I’m also not quite so hard on myself.
I have been struggling with stress from work through most of June so the last week I began doing yoga 🧘♀️ I used to regularly do yoga years ago; I forgot how much I enjoyed it! I also started doing a beginner strength training routine. My muscles are very sore for a few days afterwards, but I know that will go away soon.
Goals:
-Do strength training routine 2x/week
-Yoga at least 2x/week
-Master tree pose (my foot keeps sliding down!)
-Continue to aim for 7 hours sleep/night

Goal is to lose 6lbs by:
- intermittent fasting
- 8000+ steps per day
- 30min weight training 4 days a week
- staying within my calorie goals per day
- 30min eliptical 5 days a week

Plan for the month:
1. Stay within calorie limits
2. Workout 5-6x week Resistance/Cardio
3. Increase NEAT throughout the day
Goal:
To reach and surpass GW1. if I can get into the mid to low 190s by the end of the month. I will be well on my way to reaching GW2 by my Bday August 27th.4 -
Day 1 got off to a good start with the scale being down 1lb this morning. I was expecting a gain after eating terribly over the last couple of days so was pleasantly surprised and it motivated me to eat healthily and stay within my calorie limit all day. Hopefully I can stick to it and see another loss for next week's weigh in.
Hope everyone else is having a good day!4 -

Hi! I'm not new to the app but I'm new to the community. Motivation is my biggest problem,I have been between 200-210 for years now. I have such an unhealthy relationship with food and even knowing that my health is the most important thing it's so hard. I do workout 1-3 times a week and my body has changed. It's just so disheartening to never see the number on the scale below 200. Nutrition is my biggest downfall. I'm so good and then stress happens and food is my happy place. This seems like a great forum,all of you ladies just seem to lift each other up.
My July goal is just to get to 195 and to really start so that I can maintain realistic healthy habits7 -
Hi all!
My goals are to workout more frequently, I only go to the gym 3 times a month and I’d like to start going more regularly — about 4 days a week. Most of my friends on here are inactive so feel free to send me a request and we can motivate eachother! 😊5 -
Hi everyone!
Not new to the app, but now having to make changes due to my blood pressure being high. Have started on the DASH diet because that looks like the one that I can stick with.
SW: 279
CW: 276.6
GW: 175 (for now)
My July goals:
1. Keep up with the DASH diet...doing good so far and haven't had a soda in 5 days
2. Lose 10 lbs
3. No sodas
I work out 3 days a week doing martial arts class and the last week of the month I'll be attending a 3 day Black Belt camp...so that's going to be rough since I will have to try to work my diet around what is served at the camp.

I've only just started working out and tracking my food, 30 days, and I have already made progress! YAY!!
I've been maintaining 70-90 minute workouts five days a week; cardio two times a week, strength training two times a week, and a little check-in "test" once a week just to see what I should focus on during in the following week. I have set my weight loss goals into 10lbs increments so I have a chance to check-in with myself and reevaluate my eating habits and workout routine.
My goals for July:- Start and maintain 25,000 weekly steps (Building up to 70,000)
- Lose 5 lbs.
- Stay within my macros every day
- Keep working out for 70-90 minutes 5 days a week
- Yoga 6 days a week in the mornings
- No hitting snooze in the mornings

I know its a big goal but I've lost 20 lbs from June 3- July 1st just by changing my eating habits.
I think if I incorporate exercise this month and continue eating healthy its an attainable goal for myself.
Goals
- walk 30-60 minutes a day
- Eat less than 30 grams of sugar a day
- No eating past 7pm
- Wake up before 8am ( I work afternoon/evening shifts so I always end up sleeping in)5
