    @kmfeig87 -- that last five pounds is SO hard. I had finally got there, but that annoying last few pounds was hiding behind a shrub, and it jumped me when I walked past. Now I'm trying to see if we can be friends, because I'm still able to maintain, but it's just a little heavier than I'd like to see. What will next week hold? Stay tuned to find out. For now....

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    June 30 starting weight - 148.2 (ten-day rolling average weight 145.5)
    July goal - 143
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).

    June 30 - 148.2 (145.5)
    July 7 - 148.0 (147.9)
    July 14 - 146.4 (147.7) -- interpolated from July 11 and July 16 weight.
    July 21 - 145.2 (146.0)
    July 28 -

    Total loss for July: Well, what do you know? It actually looks like I've lost three pounds! Oh. Wait. That's just one-day scale weight. My ten-day average is up a half pound. I get it. Looking at my weight TRENDS, it explains in pictures what I wrote above.

    Happy Sunday Everybody! Try to spend some time with the people you love. I'm spending time listening to Christian worship music because I love Jesus. Romans, 10:9-10.
    Any who....

    This past week has been okay. Ups and downs, nothing I can't bounce back from. Not too focused on weight-loss at the moment just trying to make sure I'm eating correctly--which I am however, IF (intermittent fasting) has not been great. I've been snacking, albeit on healthy food, just non stop snacking...On peanut butter no less! Then I realized it the hormones. I've calmed down a bit since I started (TOM) and am ready to get back on track! My 20 yr High School Reunion is this coming Saturday 7/27--I'm not going--but it's a great motivation to lose weight in case I bump into a classmate this week in my area. I hated high school. Yuck!

    7/21: TOM D-3(ish)
    7/27:Next Weigh-in:
    7/31:

    Lowest weight June 29th~July 1st: 179.8 (gained a few lbs since then...)
    Goal weight for July: return to 179 or lower! (Being Realistic!)

    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 - 148.2 (Trend Weight 148.5)
    13th - 149.3 (Trend Weight 148.6)
    14th - 150.6 (Trend Weight 148.8) UGH!

    📌 15th - 149.5 (Trend Weight 148.9)
    19th - 148.5 (Trend Weight 149.0)
    📌 22nd - 148.3 (Trending 148.8)
    26th -
    📌 29th -
    📌 31st -

    Thoughts: Trending back down after my spike. It could have been better. Saw 147.8 on Saturday, but I had barely eaten on Friday. Yesterday was pizza and ice cream with the grandkids - I'll never pass that up 💚

    I need to get back on the exercise & step routine. It's not as bad as it looks. I left the Fitbit on the charger all day Saturday, and forgot to time & log the extra cleaning both days. I don't log regular cleaning that's done throughout the day, but I did try to remember to capture the heavier stuff as I try to downsize and declutter.

    July Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning Off my game.
    • 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 2387 ⬇
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 0 ↔
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 0 ⬇

    90 Day Progress: This really demonstrates the spikes where I fall off on activity.

    Yes, you would think that we would know our levels without tracking all of the time, but tracking is key.
    You have done so well, keep with the program to protect all of your hard work.
