Thoughts: Flat month. Scale weight up, trend weight down a tad. I've been off my game plan all month. Hit with a stomach bug over weekend. All things considered, happy to still be in the 140's. Onward!

Female, 5'3", 58 years old
I will be weighing daily, it keeps me accountable and motivated and shows trends
Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
July goal (since I hit 160 3 times in June) is 155
Ultimate goal 115
July 01 - 163.1 - Still up from eating ribs in June, I will have to lay off those for at least a few months
July 02 - 165.6 - !!! that is more than I was at the beginning of June. Hopefully just a blip.
July 03 - 162.0
July 04 - 160.8
July 05 - 162.5 - oh well, 25 more days to hopefully get out of the 160s
July 06 - 162.5
July 07 - 162.2
July 08 - 163.5 - Not sure why or how, but I will stay the course. I have been "good", and I don't feel heavier : - )
July 09 - 163.2 - Hoping for a woosh this week, staying determined.
July 10 - 161.0 - I actually was 162.0 at 5am, but went back to bed and lost a pound lol. Not sure which one is right, I usually weigh very early in the morning, but I will take it for now. Seeing the scale move down keeps me motivated.
July 11 - 160.9 - Flirting with that number again, hit it in May and June, expected to get into the 150s back in April. Really trying hard.
July 12 - 161.7
July 13 - 162.5 - Really feeling leaner for the most part this month, but have had quite a bit of stomach bloating over the last few weeks, with nothing but water so I am not really sure what to attribute it to. One glass of water to start the morning and I can blow up like a beach ball, and it is not soft. I have been drinking more than one glass of water starting in February, I get in 2 litres minimum a day now - although I still do not like water at all. I definitely do not like the bloating. Our bodies are made of salt and water, so it doesn't really make sense.
July 14 - 162.7
July 15 - 163.4 - Dang
July 17 - 161.9
July 18 - 161.3 - getting hopeful : - )
July 19 - 162.1
July 20 - 160.4
July 21 - 159.9 - Well, that is a first! I fluctuate quite a bit usually, but I am very happy to have touched this number.
July 22 - 159.7
July 23 - 161.2 - No reason for the gain, I have been on track. Maybe just too early in the morning.
July 24 - 160.3 - Okay. I'm sure that I went through this trying to get out of the 180s and 170s. I feel close to getting out of the 160s, but it sure is work.
July 25 - 160.6 - 161 was the 30lb loss mark, so far to go still, and jumping all around, I was around this weight on July 4th.
July 26 - 160.2
July 27 - 160.8
July 28 - 161.3 - Expected even more, but I will take it. Farmer's market goodies and samples, out to lunch, cocktails and snacks with friends - I did work out first, danced, walked lots. Tomorrow's weigh will really tell how much damage that I did. I have to do normal things once in awhile, but did try to have only half of what others were having.
July 29 - 162.0 - 2 more weigh days for the month. Planning on extra workouts the next couple of days to end the month with a better number.
July 30 - 161.4
July 31 - 161.0 - Same weight as on July 10th. Another month still not into the 150s. Getting tired of working so hard and seeing minimal results. I went out to the market and lunch once in the month , and had only half a sandwich. Stubborn fat! Grr

July 01 – …..194.6…..
July 08 – …..195.9….. Dang Holiday!
July 15 – …..195.8….. Down a touch after a (somewhat) rocky week!
July 22 – …..198.2 ….. It was a wonderful birthday party for my DGS, but the 3 pound gain was not appreciated. Upcoming travel this week won’t help things!
July 29 – …..xxxxx ….. Travel No Scale
July 31 – …..199.7 …..
Final Challenge Thoughts: Too much travel right at the end. See you in August!

I hear you, Dawn. (((Hugs))) It took me 6 months to get the 140's and I was lucky to stay there this month. I have had to drop weight before - I have never had such a hard time dropping it.

I did really good the beginning of the month and then kind of bombed the last two weeks. I still lost 2lbs for the month so I’m taking it as a win nonetheless. Motivation for next month.

Hi. I'm Trina. 54 and 5'4"
Down to my last 5 pounds, so hoping to lose 2-3 in July.
Original starting weight - 199 (June 2018)
July starting weight - 134.5
July goal - <=132
Ultimate goal - 128
1st - 134
5th - 133.5 (did OK over July 4th!)
7th- 133.5 (holding)
11th - 132
14th - 132.5 (chocolate cake has been on the menu...so not bad )
19th - blipped up earlier in the week, but back down!
21st - 130.5 New low today!
26th - 132
28th - 131.5 Out to dinner last night, so happy to be here!
31st - 133 Although today's number is high, fairly confident in being 132 in a few days and heading lower. One of the troubles with setting up for .5 pound loss per week is the daily fluctuations can mask the loss!
End July loss: 1 pound5 -
Back again for another month. I have 2 months left before I turn 40 (aaaggghhh) years old. This month I have officially been on here a year and thought I would have met my goal and crushed it already, lol. I'm close, but have not hit it yet. I have also changed it and lowered it a couple of times so that may be the reason too. Good luck everyone! Let's make July a good one!
Original starting weight - 178
June Ending Weight - 145.9
July goal - 143.9
Ultimate goal - 138
1st - 146.3 bump up on a Monday. Fully expected!
4th- 145.9 a little bit down from last week
11th - 146.3 still coming back down from my 4 day weekend and the 4th. Almost there. Maybe a new low is right around the corner.
18th - 147.3 I have been up on the scales all week. Coming back down, but slowly
25th - 143.1 YYYYEEEAAAHHHH!!!! New low! Finally! I have been in the 140's for months now and finally seeing progress!
31st - 143.7 I think this would have been lower but decided to have a couple of drinks with the hubby last night. Oh well, well worth the extra couple of ounces to have that spur of a moment date night! Plus I did make goal!
Total Loss: -2.2

A bit loose with my calories the past five days. Was off work for the holiday, which always throws me off my schedule. A couple a dinners out and a few days at the pool/lake was all it took to take a hit. I’m super bloated today and generally not feeling well. Lots of Midol and working with a heating pad across my abdomen today. Tomorrow will be better! 😊

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I checked in - the two weeks weren’t horrible, but I had way too many “don’t care, I’m eating what I want” moments. Summer is the hardest season for me and weight loss. I’ve found my second wind and my motivation has ramped back up. Thank goodness!
I bought a dress for a wedding in 3 weeks and IT’S A 6!!! A true 6, and to be sure I tried on several labels. Gap is generous so those size 4 jeans - I figured they were really an 8. 😝
I need to make sure that dress still fits in 3 weeks, so no more “don’t care” days.
I wrapped up ChaLEAN Extreme/PiYo and started Turbo Fire, but I was not feeling that at all. Switched to 21 Day Fix Real Time and I’m loving it, which is surprising because when I tried the original I couldn’t get into it. It is kicking my butt - sore everyday in the best kind of way!
Hope you guys are having a great weekend!
22 - 150
WHY????????
27 - 148.8
31 - 148.2
I’ve lost consistently for months, so this was bound to happen. I can’t cut calories any more than I have and be healthy, so I’m just going to stay the course. I am proud that I’ve made it to the last 10 lbs phase. I know it’s going to really slow down now, so my goal will be around 2 lbs a month going forward.
See you all in August 😊

July was great! Enjoyed a relaxed month. Now I’m ready to kick some serious butt for August.4 -
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 - 145.2 (145.1)
July 31 - 145.4 (145.6)
Total loss for July: From a synoptic view, my scale weight looks like it's 2.8 pounds. From an average weight, I'm up an insignificant amount. I wonder if this might be a good maintenance weight after all. It's my revised target, and I'm hitting it more easily than my older target that was such a small amount less weight. I'll just keep paying attention and revise my goals with experience. It's a work in progress -- a lifelong commitment. Ugh. And... Yes! If the data are correct, I am slowly making back up for some celebrations in late June and July.

I'm a bloated mess right now, but I've also been gaining weight. I can see my muscle definition decreasing. I've been eating whatever I want, and the scale is showing it. I've decided to start the rp diet app next month to try to improve my overall nutrition, and to get the fat back off. I will still be posting updates on here though.5 -

OMG!! I can still say that I owe it to watching how much I eat, doing cardio a lot this month, increasing my water intake and sleeping a little more. Oddly, I got 6 hours of sleep on Sunday evening even after I could not sleep from 3am to 5am.
Now, I can be totally over the moon for the month of July!!! The Korean BBQ on Sunday afternoon was delicious and I was happy that I did not eat until I was overly-full. *drool* The weight loss over the weekend was unexpected. I did attempt to watch how much I ate and we did walk outside in this heat on Sat and Sun for at least 30 mins.
From Previous Post:
Our local gym is having a cardio challenge so we are trying to go to the gym everyday in July.
My cardio consists of body-weight exercises, bike and elliptical.
We changed our workout time from 9pm to 5:30am. I'm curious as to how this will reflect on my weight. At the same time, I'm working on getting 7 hrs of sleep by going to bed at 9pm. So far, I've been able to be asleep by 10pm so it's a work in progress.

The Keto diet is like a marriage--it doesn't work if you cheat! Boy am I learning that the hard way! I haven't gained too much but every since the first week of July when I cheated/splurged for a few days, I haven't been able to get back to my lowest weight! I kind of regret it now. I was hoping to get back to my goal but my body is stuck at a plateau! So frustrating. I even completed a 7 miles hike! Oh well, onto the next month!
7/1: 179.8
Ups and downs....worked hard.
