MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
June goal was 146.7 - Actual end weight 148.1
July goal 143.4 (realistically I would be happy with 147.1 since I normally only lose one pound per month)
Ultimate goal: 112-115 - Age 59, height 5'2"
Wednesday July 01 - 148.4 - Up just a titch from June EW, but really pleased to be starting the month in the 140s for the first time.
Thursday July 02 149.4 - Eh? Not sure why I would gain a pound in one day, not doing anything differently. Staying on track and hoping to see it lower tomorrow. I am never happy with fluctuations, you would think that I would be used to it by now! Very long work day, didn't get home to start making dinner until very late.
Friday July 03 - 149.2 - I am off of work today, so can get more workouts in and eat well. Another .2 off tomorrow would be great.
Saturday July 04 - 149.1 - Late dinner 2 nights in a row, I need to change that.
Sunday July 05 - 149.1 - I expected a gain because I partied yesterday - it might catch up i a few days, but I hope not!2 -

Wow! It's already a weigh in day! Yesterday I went for a long walk before bed, just slow one enjoying the evening, but it was nice to have that extra movement.

Hope the long weekend for your Americans didn't put you behind too much, and that you were able to enjoy it reasonably. And for everyone else - let's rock these next 7 days! What's one thing you will do to help you get to your goal this week? For me, like I said, I want to add a walk on top of my morning workout. And I should probably drink more water . . .3 -

I realize this looks like a mega extreme drop for one week. I've been eating 1400 and didn't do much exercise save for one long walk with my husband. Another night I ate below my calories goals due to lack of hunger (it wasn't a great night), but according to my tdee I shouldn't be losing as fast as I am. I'm not complaining at all! lol but it is interesting how a calculator can say one thing and reality be completely different.3 -

Good loss! I hope you can sustain it without feeling hungry! I agree with you how two things can end up being so different! Mostly it just reminds me out bodies are wild and so cool.4 -

Thank you! I was previously at lower amount and would end up overeating every couple of days. At that point I knew I needed to increase my calories other wise I'd never make progress.2 -
I will meet my UGW this month!
The cause of my weight gain in May 2020, lol: Renpho Bluetooth Scale on Amazon
FYI: My body fat (BF) had been back and forth between 33% and 35% from Oct 2019 to March 2020. My goal is 30% and we will see what happens. I tend to carry my weight around my waist and hips.
I have seen 31% twice in May - on my way!
30% in June, finally!!!

@fstrickl The one thing I WILL do is SO different from the one thing I NEED to do. I NEED to track but I've fallen off that wagon. Exercise and water are all good. I just can't seem to get that going again. It's hard to hit on all cylinders all the time. So I'll commit to logging my food for a week.
Good question. Thanks for doing that!3 -

Good question. Thanks for doing that!
Happy to have asked! I find when people ask me direct question about small goals it really helps me focus. It's much easier to think "okay, I can drink 2L of water every day this week" instead of "I need to drink 2L every day!". Great to hear your committing to logging for a week, that's a perfect weekly goal. I hope it's been going well!2
