August Start Weight: 257.4
August Goal Weight: 247
>>>> I was 272 just before Memorial day weekend. I would love to be down 25lbs by Labor day weekend
Ultimate Goal Weight: 165

August 1: 257.4

August 5: 256.0 (net loss 1.4 lbs) note: the past few days have been rough. I have an anxiety disorder and am off my antidepressants since my husband and i want to start trying to start a family once my new insurance kicks in in September. So, a stressful situation triggered a (couple) panic attack(s) which triggered a (thankfully short) depression episode which made staying active nearly impossible. But the stressful situation has been resolved, i hit a different stage in my cycle, i feel normal again, and my husband was awesome throughout the whole odeal.

August 12: 254.2 (net loss 3.2lbs). I weighed in at 252-something yesterday, but they was likely water loss, today’s follows a more linear pattern with where I had been the rest if the week. Full day of meeting today, 2 additional half days before starting full time teachering next week. Classes start a week from friday.

August 19: 259.6 this week was rough, switching from running every day to sitting in meeting all day. Plus salt and “lunch provided” (seriously, why don’t they ever offer vegetables?)

August 26: 254.2 topped out at 260 before leveling off and working my way back down. Was able to go walking over the weekend, but not running as I think I strained a ligament in my foot at back-to-school night. With 12k steps before leaving the building today, it might be slow healing.

August 31:

Really hoping to lose another couple of pounds this month. Did really well last month and saw 3 or 4 new lows. I am hoping to continue that into August and see what I can do.

August Start Weight: 143.7 (7/31 and 8/1 weigh ins)
August Goal Weight: 140
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135-138

August 1: 143.7 I think this is a little high still. I am hoping it will drop by next week. Beers and fast food from Tuesday
August 7: 142.1 nice drop today. This is where I thought I would have been last week. Oh well, better late than never.
August 14: 142.7 still floating around here. I actually saw 140 and 139 last week but spiked back up this week. Which is my norm. I should be back down next week and hopefully finish the month off great.
August 21: 145.1 still up from 3 day weekend and water retention
August 28: 142.7 back down. It doesn't look like I am going to meet my goal this month. It was a rough one though.

August Start Weight: 135.4
August Goal Weight: 132.0
Ultimate Goal Weight: 125ish

August 1: 135.4
August 5: 133.8
August 12: 133.0 – I was actually lower than this during the past week, but I'm sure the slight up today is from a birthday party, etc this weekend.
August 19: - 131.6
August 26: - 131.2 – I have actually been below this all week, but between a birthday party this weekend and some normal monthly bloating, I am ok with this.
August 31: 129.6 - Below 130 for the second time this week, hopefully I can stay here.

August Start Weight: 140.7
August Goal Weight: 137
Ultimate Goal Weight: 133 - 135

August 01: 140.7
August 05: 139.4
August 12: 139.0
August 19: 139.0
August 26: 138.5
August 31: 139.1 (was 138.1 on Aug 27, and 138.2 on Aug 28)

Even though I didn't reach my August goal weight, I'm glad that I at least made a little progress and for 3 days in August I was in the 138s. Hoping I will be back in the 138s in just a day or two, and then will work on getting to the 137s and have my goal for the end of September to be at or below 136.
