I would love to make my goal of 140 this month. Saw 141.7 last week of July once and then boom never again. I spiked back up to 143/144, so hoping it will go back down and get comfortable there. I guess we will see what August brings us! Good luck everyone!
Original starting weight - 178

1st - 143.7 still up a bit, don't really know why. Just one of those things you can't explain on this journey
8th- 142.1 doing good so far. Have had a really strong week so far. I just need a couple more of those, lol.
15th - 142.7 Haven't been really in this 100% the last week or so. Need to get my head back in the game.
22nd - 144.1 still haven't been trying

Needed some (read: a crapload) salt and some sugar. Not even 96oz of water could flush it all out. I really need to finish my water earlier - I'm up 3x a night to pee 🙄.5 -

Lol moving in the wrong direction.
I’ve definitely hit a little bit of a wall that I’m not putting too much effort into getting past. I’m eating well and working out hard.
It’s just about TOM so this is always my high weight time. It would be great to go back under 150. It’s up to me to push to my next level.
My husband and I were laughing yesterday when I realized I have “basic kitten” problems. Here I am wearing size 8’s and complaining that mediums are too big, it’s a drag having to keep buying smaller and smaller clothes. How I just want to get to my gosh darn goal already and go shopping. LOL this time last year I was a size 22 with xxl feeling tight, perspective!!!!
I’m going to really try to finish August under 150 but I’m also going to celebrate how far I’ve come.8 -
Week 7 - TOM and feeling exhausted. Birthday weekrnd starts today but back on it by Monday.
Original starting weight - 226 0/50

Week 5 16/8 220
Week 6 23/8 219 TOM
Week 7 30/8
Total August loss = 3 so far

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.
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.
August 20 - 157.8
August 21 - 159.0
August 22 - 160.6 - Hopefully just a blip, really expected to be less today. Staying the course.
August 23 - 159.3 - Higher than I was on this date a month ago : - ( Argh.

Really not expecting that! It's true that I'm very good at sticking to a calorie limit. But I think consistent intermittent fasting is what has made the difference. I haven't missed a day yet this month; I switch off between 18/6 and 16/8. It's not for everyone, but it works for me.6 -
