Welcome to @wwood008 and @runthegarden
There is a fairly consistant format for posting your weekly weight along the lines of;
Prior week - 207.5lbs
This week - 204.8lbs
You can add more details for your own benefit. I have every weight since May 2019 though I use a spoiler to hide the irrelevant part. Once the weight has been seen and recorded on the group records it will be marked as 'insightful' on the tabs at the bottom of your post.
Have a great journey with us! 😊2 -
Welcome September!!!! I love the fall!
I’m a 42 year old mom of 7 dogs who needs to lose another 43 lbs to hit my target.
I enjoy hiking with my fur kids and 2 legged husband.
I try to make use of my full commercial (exception being power blocks instead of dumbbells) basement gym when I’m not busy working my two jobs. One is an Operations manager in a warehouse and the other is buying and selling used gym equipment. Both keep me pretty busy. Both more so since covid started.
Welcome to all of the new people. I wish you all great success!5 -

To add to @themrwobbly 's post above:
Please use the format below for posting your weekly weigh ins. This helps @boehle and me find it quickly to post to the spreadsheet. We just recently added the LTD line -- this is totally optional. The loss to date line allows us to celebrate milestones. As a huge creature of habit, I usually forget this myself.Username

The milestone celebrations are very new to us and we are still tweaking the work flow. We will be posting them monthly as opposed to weekly this month to see if it has a better feel.2 -

Maintenance Zone
This week's humble brag: I tried on some clothes that date back to my leanest/fittest/strongest period (11 years ago), and they all fit again! Even the stuff I tried and couldn't fit 6 months ago. (Admittedly, I am not toned now, so some of the tops & dresses are not necessarily flattering.)
Key positive takeaway from this, is that while my weight is basically staying the same during the maintenance period (past 8 months), my size has gotten smaller, and I achieved that without killing myself at the gym.
- - - - Introduction - - - -
Hi (or should I say "G'day, mate"?)! I'm Australian, and mum to a teen. I've been maintaining a healthy weight since January this year.
When I began this challenge, in February 2019, I was class 3 obese, weighed 119.5kg (263.5 lbs), had insulin resistance, a sluggish thyroid, and was an epic snorer. Everything was fixed within a year of consistent effort. My goal is to keep on track (eating liberal LCHF wholefoods, intermittent fasting, regular exercise, good sleep, stress management), knowing that "maintenance" is actually a bigger challenge for me than the weight-loss. I've lost and gained so many times in the past 25 years, I really need to stick with this!
My stats:
169cm / 5'7'
41 years
Highest Weight: 119.5kg/263.5lbs (27th January 2019)
Maintenance zone: 62-66 kg/138-146lbs (6th January 2020)
Maintenance duration: 8 months.
September goals:- Daily exercise habit
- Go to bed on time!
- Get up early
All the above goals I was doing prior to COVID, but have had slippage, especially in August. The good news for me is that here in the southern hemisphere we're about to enter Spring! I always feel better and have more motivation in Spring, while Winter is my lowest month of the year (and I don't know how people in other locations with colder darker winters survive!).3 -
Hi everyone!
Introduction:
I’m 28 and I live in Finland with my husband, we’re celebrating our first wedding anniversary literally today. I’m currently 214,9lbs after a few weeks of holiday weekends and hormonal bloating ( @Beka3695 would it be possible to set this as both my September starting weight and yesterday’s weigh-in, please), and 5’8”.
Despite not being a student anymore (graduated a year ago) I feel like this is the beginning of a new semester, and there’s definitely some new stuff going on. I started two different acrobatics classes, one is focused on aerial acrobatics and the other is floorwork and trampoline stuff. I also stopped taking the Pill after being on it continuously since I was 16 or 17, so I’m learning how my body works on its own and hopefully entering a brand new phase of my life within the next few months. We bought a new apartment from a building that’s still under construction, and the estimated move-in date is a week before Christmas. This means I have to go through all my stuff before moving, so some serious decluttering needs to happen.
For weight goals in September I have two alternative goals, unlikely that both would happen simultaneously: either get below 95kg (209,4lbs) or get pregnant and work on healthy weight management while expecting.
My non-weight health/fitness goals for September:
- Learn new tricks in my acrobatics classes
- Get used to how my hormones and cycles work on their own
- Stay properly hydrated
- Get as much fresh outdoors air as possible before the weather makes Finland dark, cold and wet for the next 3-5 months.4 -
Many congratulations on your anniversary @hipari 😊1

Good Morning. I am your other captain... along side my bestie @beka3695.
I am 38 and a single mother to my 18 year hold who virtually graduated in May. He flew the coop to his own apt on the 15th.
I do have some furbabies. Peter is my bestie (my 5 year old boxer/hound).
Then I had pickle and pretzel (opossums). I got them Aug 5th. Pickle passed away this Saturday morning. I knew it was coming though. She had been losing some weight and pretzel got really protective of her and wouldnt leave her side.
My main goal this month is to actually log food. I have been horrible about it. I cannot think when I actually logged last but I am snacking on some salami and cream cheese right now and its logged!2 -

Oh my gosh - I used to be in that running group! He had a wonderful sense of humor and was so encouraging. He was also inspiring with how many miles he could log. What a shock.

@Beka3695 - you are rockin' it! Am I seeing that right - you lost 10.2 pounds last month?2

This promises to be an awful week for workouts, but I’ll probably lose weight.
I am officially sick. I have a miserable head cold and had a fever last night. I’m working from home today and if the fever returns, I will be tested for covid before returning to work.
I don’t think the fever is covid though because I felt sick yesterday (stuffed up, runny nose, etc) and took the furkids on a 4 hr hike anyway because it was gorgeous out. I’m hoping I just overdid it when I knew I should have taken it easy.
The reason it should be a good week for weight loss though is that I have almost no appetite at all when I feel this sick. Toast for breakfast and a can of soup when it’s lunch time. If I start to feel better though, I will definitely head to the gym5 -
Excited to start September challenge. August was not a very strong month for me, life and a small vacation happened. I hope this coming month to be better.

Final day of holiday here...... not going to be the most balanced, but I'm logging it all....
On a plus side have done one workout after lunch and got another one at 18h00. I know you can't out train a bad diet, but you can limit the damage a little!
Planned my meals for the working week and got a loose exercise outline. Weirdly looking forward to having the routine back. Bring it on!3 -
I posted, btw. In my intro post0

Nice!! I'll take second!1 -
I had a big loss last week and am struggling this week for sure. I am on furlough so my schedule is non-existent, I am at my time of the month so I feel like a bottomless pit with my eating and I don't have a lot of energy. I drank more this weekend than I have in a long time. I am up about a pound and a half at the moment. This morning I will take back control and not let this small slip hinder my progress! I am much happier when I am taking care of myself. No one else is going to do it for me. Let's do this!!!0
