Goal #2: Run 3x a week.
Goal #3: Stick to my 18/6 intermittent fasting

Goal #3: get some proper sleep.

1/8 -Today went well calories are under, just back from spin class, gonna have dinner and a nice bubbly bath.
2/8- Under my calories today, legs are sore from spin yesterday. didn't sleep very well but thats nothing new.

I would love to join in next week when I return home from visiting and caring for my mother, this is a wonderful idea and look forward to being involved. Also having access to my food and weight scale.

Female 20y
166cm / 5"5
SW: 61kg / 135lb
GW1: 58kg / 127lb
GW2: 55kg / 121lb

Goal #1: Stop eating/snacking after dinner or when I'm not hungry (substitute with a cup of tea if I need)
Goal #2: Exercise daily - I will be doing Chloe Ting's Ab challenge as well as walking daily and attending the gym when I can
Goal #3: Make healthier food choices (choosing vege/fruit and also choosing smaller portions of the more classical 'unhealthy foods')

1/8 - 60.7kg - Really excited to start, and it's so lovely to see how many people are wanting to join in! Today was pretty good. I bought a cookie at lunch (not very healthy) and totally regretted it, but otherwise I was pretty healthy and stuck to my calorie counts. Also currently enjoying my tea instead of snacking which I'm really proud of! Would have been so easy to give in as I'm pretty exhausted but yay for tea!
2/8 - 60.8kg - I started drinking more water so I'm assuming that's why the scale went up even though my count was low yesterday. But I went over my calorie count today which was super disappointing , but I stopped myself from giving in and snacking/eating extra! Proud of myself for acknowledging that I didn't need to make the day worse and give into my cravings. I'm making a change!! Exercised as per usual and chose a salad and a piece of carrot cake for lunch, so probs need to work more on eating healthier oops
3/8 - 61.1kg - bad day, feeling very discouraged & upset. But hopefully tomorrow will be better

SW:149
End of August GW:140
Real GW:135ish (I would like to stay between 140 and 135)

Goal #1:at the end of August my work is doing a body composition test and I would like to get the points for being in the healthy range of body fat.

Goal #2: less “cheat meals” on the weekends, I really struggle there.

Goal #3: just really try to eliminate that extra unhealthy snack just because I’m bored. Biggest weakness!!

1/8 -149.2, let’s do this!
2/8 - 147.4. Did another Insanity workout this morning, feeling super sore after this one tho.
3/8 - 147.4 again, not complaining. Going to take a rest day my body is definitely in need. Going to a ballgame tonight so I’ll be eating unhealthy but you still gotta live life.

Goal #1: movement every day
Goal #2: track food intake every day up until vacation
Goal #3: try to live in moderation during vacation - not restrict but not let myself get out of control

1/8 - 141.1. Did a 45 min RPM class and a 25 min walk with my dog this morning before work. Have tracked everything I've eaten so far today. Very stressful work day here, trying to keep snacking at a minimum to stay at my calorie goal.

2/8 - 141.8. UGH. I had a late dinner with a friend, she made a meal from Blue Apron and it was delicious but higher in calories and sodium than I usually eat. I'm really hoping the uptick is due to the late time I ate and sodium and that it drops off soon. Today is my rest day from the gym but my goal is to take a long walk, and track all my food again.

3/8 - 141.1. Yesterday went well. Plan for today is to not go crazy since it’s a weekend. Will take a long walk with the dog, go to the gym, try to get some chores done at home, and enjoy a date night with my husband tonight and try to moderate my food intake at dinner.

4/8 - 141.3. I’m happy it’s not more and that I didn’t go too crazy at dinner (although we had Mexican so I had too many chips and everything was full of sodium). But I’m tired of seeing this number and I’m ready to get to the 130’s and stay there. Goals today: track all food and stay at calorie goal, long walk with dog, take a combat class at gym, enjoy time at the pool with my family.

SW: 50.9kg/112lb
August GW: 49kg/108lb
Ultimate GW: 47kg/103lb

Goal #1: Lights out and electronics off by 10pm on work nights
Goal #2: Weekly meal planning and prep Saturdays
Goal #3: Run x 4 Strength train x 5 per week

1/8 - 50.9kg/112lb
2/8 - 50.8kg/112lb I saw my physio today and she vetoed running and gym for another week (I’ve hurt my lower back) 😕 So for the next week my goal #3 is Run/Walk x 4 and Steady stationary cycle 1hr x 5 🙃
3/8 - 50.8kg/112lbs An hour on the bike, ate within calories but over on carbs 😣
4/8 - 50.6kg/111.5lbs An hour on the bike but over on calories and carbs 😕

I'm already on a daily thread under Challenges. So, I'll check in here weekly.

SW: 74.6 kg
GW: 72 kg

Goal #1: Bike to work 2 times a week - a total of 66 km a day with an electric bike
Goal #2: Stay around my goal calories, regardless of extra exercise
Goal #3: Prep for homework days

Week 1: got all three goals, but I gained some weight back, thus still 74.6 this morning

This always make me laugh (in a happy way). It seems so surreal to me to be able to ride a horse in the morning

Haha I agree! I'm jealous every time I see it!

5/8 - 141.1. Can I break this trend tomorrow? Let's hope. Got lots of movement in yesterday, hour walk, 1hr 10 min workout, and cleaned my house so I ended with over 19k steps. Ate too much at dinner though. Probably could get away with less movement so maybe I won't eat as much...

SW: 109.4
BF: 21.6%
GW by end of August: 107
GW final: 105
GBF final: 20%

Goal #1: OTF 3x week
Goal #2: Lower body fat to 20%
Goal #3: Reduce/eliminate alcohol consumption for month of August (me too!!!)

8/1 109.4/21.6%
8/2 110 / 21.4%
8/5 111 didn't even check the BF

OK, I am in denial. WHAT??
But I am so sore from the 10K Run yesterday, I probably have massive water weight.
Did stretch a lot before and after. But I was so busy, didn't get a chance to rest. Had my dinner at a friends house for her daughters birthday. (LOTS of cheese!!!) So I'm not gonna stress about it and focus on starting fresh this week.

Forgot about yesterday 🤦‍♀️

5/8 - 149.6, went up slightly. I didn’t completely overdo it this weekend but I skipped two workouts so that didn’t help but back it again this morning.

I like these threads a lot, however I think checking in every day is a bit overkill. Check in weekly for sure, and then maybe extra times when it was a really good or bad day is more interesting?

SW: 66,6 kg (146,83lbs)
GW: 65,x kg (for this month, I'll be happy to break my current plateau and see that 65 pop up).

I'm adding in measuring as well because the scale hasn't really moved in 2-3 weeks (just the same couple 100 grams up and down) but I did notice change when measuring.

So:

Chest: Don't want to depress myself so refusing to track this
Band: 82cm (32,28in)
Waist: 75cm (29,53in) - good progress, came from 80
Belly: 91cm (35,83in)
Hip: 99cm (38,98in) - hard to judge because I'm also trying to grow the glutes...
Thigh: 56cm (22,05in) - specifically happy with these, was 58 last month and 60 the month before

Goal #1: Shave of some centimeters of the measurements
Goal #2: Work up to regular pushups (instead of on the knee, pathetic I know)
Goal #3: Do my fav core routine in 1 go. I can do it pretty well because my core is well trained but there is usual these tiny extra few pauses I take.

Goodluck everyone! Work hard & feel good!

---

1 August: Bad day kcal wise, but fun day otherwise! Went to dinner and a club which lead to a 3000kcal day (mainly because of all the alcohol)
2 August: Super hungover but at least under my kcal goal (but over carbs)
3 August: Good gym workouts and reasonable good eating
4 August: Scandalous day... again nearing 3000kcal and just ate everything that was offered to me (crackers & cheese, way too much wine, ribs,...)
5 August: Partly to compensate and partly because I feel like it, I've started a 36h fast. 16h in now and getting a bit hungry but know that it will pass.

6 August: 65,8kg (145,06lbs) Happy to see the next weight bracket appearing but not taking it seriously since I'm 32h into my fast. No doubt tomorrow, after eating, back up to the regular weight. The fast went great tho! Had a bit of a snacking impulse 17h in, and again at 20-21h but that was mostly because I was cooking and the smells were so tempting. Otherwise I didn't experience any dip in energy or cognitive levels. Bit on the contrary, I never slept so little and still felt energised.
