    I will be weighing daily, it keeps me accountable and motivated and shows trends
    Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
    August goal is 155 (Same as July goal)
    Ultimate goal is 115

    August 01 - 160.0
    August 02 - 160.7
    August 03 - 159.6
    August 04 - 160.1
    August 05 - 161.1 - Not sure why I am up today, just going to stay the course and hope to see it come back down.
    August 06 - 161.9 - Maybe it is just too early in the morning. I have been on track and getting in good workouts. Don't like to gain of course. I am going away soon, so had hoped to have a bit of a cushion.
    August 07 - 159.8
    August 08 - 159.3 - My last weigh-in until I get back from my short holiday. I will still be tracking, but won't have my scale.
    August 12 - 162.0 - I think that it will get higher still before I can get it back down. Festival food! I will get back on track for sure.
    August 13 - 162.2 - So hopefully that is the last of the festival food showing up on my slow metabolism. Now to salvage the month.
    August 14 - 160.4 - Burned more calories than I ate yesterday, I had 1500 calories left over according to MFP.
    August 15 - 158.0 - Yay!
    August 16 - 158.5 - Maybe I can get in more calorie burning today than I did yesterday (only managed to burn off 262 cal). It seems that I need to burn at least 500 each day to see any kind of results. I rely on Zumba-esque type workouts to get the most burn for the time. Tomorrow is the multi-cultural festival in my town, so I hope to wake up to a good number before sampling the delicious international fare.
    August 17 - 157.5 - I consumed 1700 calories yesterday! I did burn 600 calories through exercise, but I am pretty sure that I will show a gain once my slow metabolism catches up. I really need to eat 1200 calories or less and burn a minimum of 500 calories in order to lose any weight.

    Original starting weight - 158.5 (12/30/2018)
    July ending weight 148.8 (July gain 0.6 lbs)
    August starting weight - 148.2
    August goal -145.2 (Same as July)
    Ultimate goal - 135.0

    I generally do a Friday (F) weigh-in and am adding a Monday (M) weigh-in for accountability. I've pinned the weekly weigh-in days for the challenge.

    📌 1st - 148.2 (Trend Weight 148.9)
    2nd (F) - 148.1 (Trend Weight 148.7)
    5th (M) - 148.2 (Trend Weight 148.5)
    📌 7th - 148.2 (Trend Weight 148.5)
    9th (F) - 148.2 (Trend Weight 148.5)
    12th (M) - 147.9 (Trend Weight 148.4)
    13th (T) - 147.1 (Trend Weight 148.3) New Low! 🎉
    📌 14th - 148.2 (Trend Weight 148.2)
    16th (F) - 147.8 (Trend Weight 148.2)
    19th (M) - 148.0 (Trend Weight 148.0)
    📌 21st -
    23rd (F) -
    26th (M)
    📌 28th -
    📌 30th -

    August Loss - ???

    Thoughts: Bobbling a bit. Not too worried. I'm coming off an off week from the Fair and back to eating better. Was not feeling well yesterday and ate later than usual. My body and stomach appear to be in rebellion from the heat and Fair food, even though I indulged in moderation.

    August Game Plan & Goals: (Stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)
    • 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 - 4491 ⬇
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily - 24 ⬇
    • Hit exercise goal of 6 days - 3 ➖

    Progress: (4 week graph)

    Relieved to rebound a bit - quick weight loss in the 120s scares me a bit.

    Original starting weight - 167 lbs (April 2018)
    August starting weight - 154 lbs
    August goal - 148 lbs

    31st - 154 lbs

    Was in a hurry this morning so I didn't weigh myself like usual so I'm just using yesterday's weigh in. Still going well. Really just hoping to be under the 150 mark consistently by the end of the month.

    August 18 - 158.7 - It was very late by the time I got a chance to eat last night. Nevertheless, I am happy to be under 160. Only 12 days left to hit that magical 155, but I have been striving for it for 2 months. It might take me 3 months to lose 5 pounds, but I am determined.
    August 19 - 157.4 - I expect this to go up, but had a beautiful calorie laden dinner with Champagne last night, and late. (35% whipping cream sauce, high calorie peanut sauce noodles etc.) The leftovers will need to be eaten in very tiny amounts.

    @Miyoka_Tata You will find it to be a long but worthwhile journey.

    At one point, it took me 8 months to lose 10 lbs but I was so happy with my slow progress. I know my body and attempt to control my calorie intake to a happy medium.

    Keep at it and happy to have you join us! :)

    Thank you so much @syreina 💜💕 this is so encouraging

    Tues, 8/20: 182 this seems to be falling off, but it’s mainly bc I just started back after a month of doing nothing. I’m sure I will get to a moment where the number won’t change. Losing weight takes hard work and patience and I am okay with that. As long as it stays off.
