    61 years old; 5'2"
    Original starting weight - 158.5 (12/30/2018)
    June ending weight 148.3 (June loss 1.3 lbs)
    July starting weight - 148.2
    July goal -145.2 (adjusted)
    Ultimate goal - 135.0

    I generally do a Friday weigh-in. I've pinned the weekly weigh-in days for the challenge. Friday/Monday weigh-in will be interesting :wink:

    📌 1st - 148.2 (Trend Weight 149.2)
    3rd - 148.7 (Trend Weight 149.1)
    4th - 148.1 (Trend Weight 149.0)
    5th - 148.1 (Trend Weight 148.9)
    6th - 148.3 (Trend Weight 148.8)
    📌 8th - 147.8 (Trend Weight 148.6)
    12th -
    📌 15th -
    19th -
    📌 22nd -
    26th -
    📌 29th -
    📌 31st -

    Thoughts: Head back in the game, and seeing the numbers in my goals edge back up. This is going to be a week of slamming it at work - so I'm going to be fighting for steps and will need to stay focused.

    Yes @dawnbgethealthy - I had been tracking gardening - not sure why I slacked off on that. 😏

    July Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 2642 ⬇
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 32 ⬆
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 3 ⬆

    Yesterday hubby took us to a sports shop and I got me a few workout outfits and a new toy! So excited to start using it today. I did my usual walk this morning and tonight when the tv comes on, (finally starting to watch stranger things) I’m hopping on my new stepper! Wishing you all a blessed Sunday! [/b]

    You've got a keeper! I have one of those, with no resistance bands on it - but I bet I could hook some up!

    Cool! Do you use it modern or does it tend to get boring?

    Modern? I use it a couple of times a week - trying to get to 10+ minutes. I have trouble with my knees and balance, so it's a slow process. Not doing it long enough for boredom to set in yet 😏 Congrats on the whosh! 🎉🎉

    Argh my fat fingers sorry. I am constantly making typos. I meant to say do you use it often. Either way you answered.

    I do it 30 minutes at a time and the pace depends on the song playing so I kinda dance on it too. The 10 minute mark is the hardest. That’s when my thighs really burn then it gets easier.

    I bought some Turkey Bratwurst 130 calories. 130 calories for the bun...and I got my "hot dog" fix : - )


    Ahh wonderful. Now we can move passed the hotdog cravings lol. No stress about the scale. You are feeling heavier is a good sign. I expect you will see a nice drop soon especially if you’ve even doing good.

    Update: I definitely indulged the first few days: family bday celebrations and 4th of July food fun. So, the carbs and sugar showed up on the scale for now, but I'm getting back on track. I hope after this 5-day detox, I should make a break through.

    7/6th back in the 180s, hopefully not for long...
    7/8th--12th: Nutritional Detox

    Notes : Good Morning everyone. No run this morning but I did complete a 30 minute brisk walk. I won’t have time for my stepper as I have to get ready for my post op appointment with my surgeon. I will attempt the stepper this evening after my evening walk if I’m not too tired. The scale is still being good to me which is getting my motivation up there. Nothing like seeing results to get you really going. Wishing you all a wonderful day ❤️💪🏻
