July recap - Moto Slow and Steady Wins the Race - but this turtle got distracted by the squirrels again
SW 230 Nov 27/2020
July 1 198.2
July 31 203.4
Had an interesting month weight wise, needed to do a readjust with the scales and also really played with the same 4 pounds. Got off track with my walking( 3 days instead of 6-7)
No worries, following own advice, have readjusted and pressed reset so goal for August an ambitious 196.
Seeing my daughter, son in law and grandson in end of August, coming from UK so very excited and a girl's overnight with my other daughter in two weeks.
Have a wonderful August everyone

End of the month and time to measure up!
Loss for the month 6.2lbs
I'm disappointed I didn't make my goal but came close at 6.2 pounds. Its a reminder that I am only at the beginning of my journey - I started 60 days ago. I'm trying to be mindful and go with the ebbs and flows so at the end of the month any loss is good. In the NSV department I lost 2 inches in my waist and have more flexibility than before.
Good luck to all in the hot August days ahead.

Really happy I hit my first goal :-) This past week I really struggled to keep moving... I managed, but just barely. Had planned to try and add some weight/resistance training but it was hard enough, so I am putting that on the back burner for now.
Will there be another of these threads for August?7 -

Wahoo! The scale finally moved again. I ended up making my July goal weight after all.
I am looking forward to the new month and see where it takes me!
@tuddy315 Wahoo, you are almost in onderland. That is so exciting. I know you can do it. If you don't mind me asking what surgery are you going to be having?
@Spotteddingo and @girlinkaz Funny you mention it. I am having a lot of shedding too. I started to notice it this past week. Though mine I believe is from my medication. My meds are known to deplete B12. Being plant based I already take B vitamins. I am closing in on my 3 month check up with my doctor and blood work.
@seltzer_lover I am so glad you loved the class and are going to sign up for more. That is fantastic!
@Kfurious Welcome! Personally I find it is easier to make mini goals rather than trying to change everything all at once. For example, instead of looking at the total amount of weight to lose focus on losing 5lbs by a certain date. Pick goal that are interesting and doable for you then go from there. As you progress you can add in more goals. The great thing is this is your own personal journey. There is no right or wrong way to approach it as long as it is a way that works for you!
@Imgoff232 Congrats on meeting your first goal. Yes. There will be a separate thread for August. Keep an eye out for it tomorrow!

All right, I'll take it! That's close enough for jazz, lol. I'm looking forward to August - I'm ramping my activity up a little bit, with the intention of building momentum as we head into the back half of the year. The intention is to both keep me on track and have a "buffer" so I can stay on track to meet my 2021 goal.
This weekend's cooking projects involve just, so very much chicken. I just finished a batch of tom kha gai (Thai coconut-chicken soup) - it's delicious, but I think it needs some glass noodles or rice vermicelli to really round it out. I also have a big batch of chicken enchiladas that I need to figure out how to store; I'm running low on containers right now. Maybe I'll go back out to the store and get more containers as well as a packet of noodles, solve both problems at once. I also have some chicken thighs marinating for chicken tikka masala, and I need to make some rice to serve alongside the tikka as well as the enchiladas. That's dinner this week sorted - tomorrow I'll tackle lunches, which will be salisbury steak with potatoes and broccoli. The plan was mashed, but Instacart gave me mini potatoes instead of the regular ones I asked for, so we might do roasted instead. Or just rustic mashed (i.e., skins on), I'm not about to try to peel a one-inch-long potato in any case.7 -
@JNettie73 I am having a total left knee. So for the last month and a half I have had to use my cain to get around making it almost impossible to get any exercising done. I will be so glad to get it fixed!!!5

Hello everyone, I haven’t posted here in about a year! I’m starting over after an injury and general depression about/due to the pandemic. I’ve got myself in a good place and even though I’ve gained 20+ I’m looking at getting myself to my healthiest self and taking my weight loss in 10 lb increments.
So, starting today 7/31:
SW: 260

Goals: at least 5 mi a day on my recumbent bike - 2 liters of water - 20 mins meditation

I know we've started the next month's thread, but just wanted to reply here to say - holy heck, you are doing great!
By my calculations you've lost 52 pounds in a little more than 10 weeks. That's literally working your *kitten* off!
Makes sense to me to reduce your monthly goal a bit, but I wouldn't put it past you to crush that, too!
Congrats and great work!!1 -

Hi, Wednesday post
Age 47
Height 5’ 6”
SW 244 (June 1, 2021)
7/14: 231
7/21: 228.1
7/28: 225.8
8/4: 224.8
Current goal: 220 by end of August and keep exercising when work starts up (school)
I hit my goal for July, but had a hard week — on Sunday I was craving bread and ate too much, and in one hour really threw myself off track and now I have just barely lost one pound this I week, but I DID get back on track and hopefully I am able to keep tracking downwards.
If I can meet the August goal — whenever it is met — that’s 10% of my starting weight, which is a bit of a milestone to me,
(is ONEderland having a ONE as the first digit? I love that!!)4 -
Happy Wednesday everyone.
I'm struggling a little bit - been working out (gym 3x/week, long walks 2-3x/week) and I'm not seeing ANY loss. I'm wondering if I should be eating back some/all of my exercise calories. I'm going to try that for a few days and see if it jumpstarts my losses again. I'm big enough that I should be dropping steadily!
Do you all eat your exercise calories? Or stick to your daily allotment and ignore the exercise calories altogether?1 -

I normally eat back 75-90% of my exercise calories. Seems to be doing well for me so far. I’d like to hear what everyone else is doing1 -
@kadohi yes Onederland is starting with a one. Can’t wait to get there!
@seltzer_lover sorry to hear about your stall. I eat most if not all of my exercise calories back and have still been losing pretty steadily.
BTW there is a new August thread as ravenstcloud posted above. It is in Community under Motivation and Support.0 -
