Joining for a bit of accountability so my birthday doesn't turn into a month of unhealthy food and drink like it usually does. I feel I've had a good few months and really don't want to mess it up.
Couple of goals for August:
* continue to log every day
* 3/4 workouts per week
* take the stairs at least once every day at work
* don't go overboard on the prosecco!
Had a bit of a blip mid month - my birthday, plus my sisters birthday, plus a week of socialising at various different pubs meant I put 2lb on. But I've had my last weigh in of August and am 208lb - down 5lb total for August. Very happy with that.
Took the stairs at work every day (did have a week off work though!) - I still hate it, but I'm starting to get to the point where I'm not completely a puddle of sweat at the third floor!
Here's to September!1 -

Hello! I'd like to join if I may
I was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure and put on a low sodium diet along with several medications and restricted fluids. Interestingly none of the doctors mentioned my weight or recommended I lose any. Of course low sodium translated into fewer calories and now I am seeing some weight loss, and am planning on continuing slowly but steadily (I'm sure it is good for my heart as well!).
SW: 220 (May 2019)
CW: 208
GW: 145
I wanted to update my goals a bit. My goal for August is to get to 200, but will be happy even if It's still a bit above that. There's always September My current ultimate goal weight is 145, but once I get there I can reevaluate and revise it. Just to get to 145 will make me happy (and healthier)! Oh and I'm now at 206!
Final weight for the month: 205 lbs. Not quite where I wanted to be but at least my weight is still going down 3 lbs. lost is not bad!! Looking forward to next month...4 -
Started on the 6th of August. I live in London, UK.
SW: 121.7kg/268.3lb
CW: 116.7kg/257.2lb
GW: 113kg/249lb
Ultimate GW: 65kg/143lb
Loss so far: 5kg/11lb
Height: 168cm (5'6")
I am happy that I lost 5kg (11lb). I didn't really know where to put my goal for August so I overestimated a bit. Next month I hope to lose another 5kg (11lb).3 -
Allo everyone,
SW - 270 lbs
CW - 212
GW - 130
GW for August - 208
I had started on this app 3.5 years ago. I then got very sick after losing over 40 lbs. Was hospitalised and diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (I had ongoing symptoms for almost a year at that point). I was quite sick for over a year (the disease and side effects of the drugs). My mom was then diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I was always taking care of her and my own health took a toll. She passed April 10, 2019 at only 60 years old. I was also diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes a few months ago.
It's been a very difficult few years but I'm now ready to start focusing on my health/weight again. I bought a fitness watch a month ago and I'm loving it. I hope to be part of this group. Thank you for reading!
* I accidently posted this in the motivation and support area...lol.
Update:
I hit my goal for August!
