Yesterday was great until I started nibbling on my friend's nachos at dinner. Probably ended up at about 1500-1600 calories i.e., *probably* a deficit but not sure. Either way it wasn't bad!

Today made it to 6am spin class *on time*.

Had my meals and snacks prepped today and yesterday which makes all the difference. And it was a salad for lunch so easy to just grab and eat without a bunch of microwave drama.

Didn't weigh in today, but will tomorrow!

Thanks for starting a July thread! I need all the accountability help I can get.

July Goal weight 140 (I'd turn cartwheels if I could hit 13? a few times this month)
Yoga Burn 4x a week
Do 10 Real Push Ups in a set by the end of the month

Ultimate Goal - 133

7/1... 146.4 - Monday on every level possible. Dismal failure with eating and not much exercise.
7/2... 147.2 - Started 30 min Yoga Burn at lunch, it's a 4 month program. Pretty easy the first day, also did 10 pushups on my knees. Better on food, stayed under 1400 cal. (Even with company)
7/3... 147.4 - Day 2 of Yoga Burn. Also did 10 Sun Salutations
7/8... 147.4 - Vacation since the 4th, I didn't go absolutely crazy with food - but I definitely wasn't great either. There was some junk food, homemade fudge, lots of mexican food the last 4 days. I did get in lots of walking, so it wasn't a total loss. It's Monday and time to get serious. Yoga at lunch and rode horses this morning. Kept it under 1400 for the day = pretty darn good day.
7/9... 146.2 - vacation water weight slowly leaving. Rode my colt this morning, no lunch workout - errands. 1370 Cal
7/10... 146.4

Started the day with a great strength training sessions. Kelsey Wells' PWR program is killing me! Food wise the day was generally fine but when hubby got home he wanted takeout so ordered burgers and I couldn't resist and ordered a dessert (because I'd already had dinner). No regrets though! I enjoyed eating with him as we hardly ever eat together, and life's about balance right? Did make my protein goal which I'm happy about!

164 cm (5'4.6'' (is that right?))
cw 56.5 kg (124.6 lb)
(overall) gw 52 kg (115 lb)
goal for July 55 kg (121 lb)

Progress:
8 July: strength training & 1434 cals
9 July: 5.25 km run and walked the pupper & 1615 cals
10 July: strength training & 1722 cals

No weight change the last 10 days... Though the muscle mass % went up to 37.2%. I am happy about that. I looked back on my eating and protein could've been upped so I downed a protein drink this morning. We'll see if it'll help me from snacking too much!
I went to Costco and picked up a bit too much. (Steak, Smoked salmon, Bacon, Cheese....) I plan on meal prepping over the weekend.

7/10... 146.4 - Did Week 1 Yoga Burn followed by pushups, situps, stretches, planks, & sun salutations. Got up early enough to ride my colt before work. Cals were 1700 - it shows I had enough exercise for this to be within allowance - I think I overdid it.
7/11... 146.6 - Rode my colt before work and did barn chores. Lunch was week 1 Yoga Burn and pushups, stretches, situps, planks - just stayed busy for 35 min. Did really well all day with food and went way off the wagon at volleyball banquet. Stuck with a bunch of catty women, got bored and had pasta & cheesecake. UGH!
7/12... 147

Did not track yesterday but focused on mindfulness. Went to a free lunch and decided to treat myself. Ate two cookies some salad (but decided I didn't need potato salad), two small sandwiches with *cheese and mayo* and two Costco chocolate chip cookies. And like 3 La Croixs. I did NOT do the thing I usually do of kidding myself that I would only get one sandwich and some salad and then go back for 5 or 6 cookies which is usually what I do at buffets. I got my food and ate it and felt good. Then I just had some all bran with cashew milk (100?) and an egg and a piece of toast (200?) and some chocolate chips (80) for dinner after doing strength training. It felt weird not to be doing a bunch of cardio but seriously my body wants strength training and it does so much for my posture issues. Anyway, I feel like I probably only ate like 1500.

So glad not to be doing WW points anymore or I would have felt like I massively Fd up yesterday or else tortured myself with a bunch of ff yogurt and whatnot.

Goal weight: 115 lbs

July 12 - 118.8 lbs

Just signed up for my first half marathon! Currently only running 3.5 miles so I have a lot of work to do.

Welcome! I'm doing the same thing with the half marathon and equally far in! Looks so daunting at this point. Goodluck!

Height 5'5" 133
July GW 128

July 5th - 133 pounds. Off to the gym. Light cardio and lifting.
July 8th -132 pounds Survived a weekend BBQ made good choices – Gym this evening. I’ve been mixing up my workouts. Bring on leg day.
July 12th 132 pounds – 1 hour and 45 minute run.
July 13th 130 pounds - well deserved rest day.
July15th

Well done @l4a_p ! Reaching your goal is an amazing achievement!

I think I'll join! July is a heck of a crazily busy month for me, but I'll still do what I can. I'm trying to work out for an hour every day and drink lots of water (sweltering and humid central Japan... whew). I really like cooking and eating so it's hard not to over do sodium and others, so I decided to eat fruit for breakfast and lunch/snack, and then eat normally for the evening preparations. I hope that I'll be able to make at least a little progress this month! Good luck all!

Height: 4'11" (150 cm)
Starting weight: 105 lbs (47.6 kg)
Current weight: 102 lbs (46.3 kg)
July Goal: 100 lbs at least (45.4 kg) Even though I don't eat much, and exercise quite a bit, I seem to lose very slowly.....
Ultimate goal: 92 lbs at least (41.7 kg) I think I'd go under to 86 lbs (39 kg) however because that's a more normal weight for an Asian girl...

😲😲😲

Wow, I am also Asian but this 92 lbs for a normal 4'11" is surprising... That sounds too light- is it just me?? My daughter (10) is 4'11" and with absolutely no muscles is around 80.
I'd say, go by how you feel and look. Not just the numbers!👍👍😉

7/1 - 139.3
7/8 - 142.2.
7/16 (forgot to post yesterday so using today's weight) 141.1. I'm stuck, mentally and physically. I can't get my head in the game again since my vacation. That was a week and a half ago! Any tips for getting back in the mental space to tackle this weight loss? Doesn't help that PMS is looming...

7/12... 147 - Got in a good workout at lunch. Yoga, pushups, planks
7/15... 144.6 FINALLY - things are going the right direction. Crazy busy weekend with lots of walking and outdoor activity. Had a couple of big family dinners at nice places so I hoarded my calories to compensate for it. Feeling a bit more optimistic that I can hit my July goal. Yoga Burn week 2 at lunch then planks, pushups, sit ups, stretches - solid 35 min workout.
7/16... 144.2 - Rode one colt before work. Off to a good start today.

I have been on fire so far this week, meal prepped Sunday, worked out yesterday and today, still no weight loss since last week (and body fat is up but who knows how accurate that scale is)

Trying to get down a bit by Friday for my WW weigh in then I'm gone for the weekend so will almost certainly not eat at a deficit (but that's ok)
