September Loss - ??
Thoughts: I did tweak my goals for September. Because the no calorie intake after 8pm has been effective for me, and I'm not a breakfast eater by nature, I figured I was already at a 12-13 hour fast. I'm gradually moving towards a 16:8 IF. Other than my sweet cream in my coffee, I don't think it will be too hard to get there - and it will help me maximum my limited calories at lunch and dinner.
I fell off my strength training in a big way, so I joined a Squat & Lunge challenge in another thread here. My "regular" routine is pushups, squats, lunges, arm circles, side bends, and tricep lifts. I'm aiming for 3 days on / 1 rest day. I'm accelerating the reps as I go, being mindful of my arthritic knees and avoiding injury. The ultimate goal is consistency, and I think the accountability of a challenge will help.
Anytime I stress my body, I see a fluid gain. Sure enough, I saw just that earlier this week. I've upped the water intake and am powering thru. I never get a "whoosh," but it is starting to fall off.
September Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)- Move to 2-week meal plans π
- Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
- Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal
- No calorie intake after 8pm.
- No calorie intake before 10am, edging towards noon for a 16:8 IF
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000 - 3777 β¬
- Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 22 β¬
- Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day - 5 for 5 with 1 mile walk on rest day

Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
August goal was 155 (Same as July goal) - lost 1.4 pounds for the month of August, lost 2.0 pounds in the month of July lost 0.7 pounds in the month of June. Slow going, but going. 4.1 pounds lost in 3 months, but 30 lost in 10 months so happy with that. It would be great to have lost 40 by October 28.19 - 2 months to lose 10 pounds, a girl can hope ; - )

@SamanthaLouiseMence, I haven't been posting for a few months, BUT I will always wait for you to post the new months challenge! You are entitled to your life away from MFP. I know that whomever started a new post was trying to be helpful, but I've always known it only takes a heads up message to you for you to return. Good to see you, hope all is well.6

September Loss - ??
Thoughts: The amped up game plan is paying off on the scale! Trend Weight looks flat-lined and the projected weight is headed in wrong direction, but since these are based on averages, it will start pulling back down.
Yesterday was supposed to be day 3 of my 3 days of training / 1 rest day. I'll just pick up here and do 4/1 to get back on track. I made it past 11am 2 days this week as I move towards a16:8 IF. These two changes seem to be working and I saw a steady loss all week. We'll see if continues this week
I just did my grocery shopping with an eye to a 2 week meal plan. So we'll see how that goes.

Hi. I'm Trina. 54 and 5'4"
Down to my last 2 pounds, but not sure how weight will look at the end of the month. I was diagnosed with stage 1 invasive lobular (breast) cancer at the end of July. It is early, small and the prognosis is good....but I have a double mastectomy scheduled for 9/24. So between post-op water retention and breast risection/reconstruction...Well frankly I have no idea! Just trying to keep my head in the game and breathe regularly.
