Hey. I'm Boo. Really grateful to have this thread for accountability this month.

My goals:

▪︎Gym minimum 2 × week
▪︎Consistently log meals

Starting Weight: 207lb
August Goal: 199lb

I've not been to the gym yet this week, and I'm feeling a bit guilty but the week isn't over yet.

I decided to spend today organising my home instead as it was way overdue. Also recovering from a bad cold and my chronic pain is flaring so I'm trying to just keep moving in the home instead.

Eating has been OK so far, and I've been logging so I'm pleased.

Start weight July 7th: 225 lbs
Start weight August (7/29): 222.4 lbs
August Goal weight: 215 lbs

Other goals: 60,000 steps/week (I have an office job so trying to get 10k/3x week and 7.5k/4x week to start)

Date / Weight / Change / Steps
Aug 01 / 223.6 / +1.2 / 4,874

Before that I averaged a 1 pound weight loss each month throughout this journey.

UGW 112-ish

Best of luck to everyone, and big thanks to @nikkit321 for providing this space to us and keeping us going.

August SW: 274.2
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lb

Daily goals:
1. stay within calorie limits
2. drink 64 oz of water
3. weigh myself

Monthly goal: lose 5 lb. (269.2)

08/01 – 274.2. I just joined this challenge late in the afternoon, I will pick up with my other 2 goals starting tomorrow.
08/02 - 268.4. I didn't expect this much of a drop, I suspect it is water. I have met all my goals today. My calorie goal is 1860. I landed at 1837 today. I was able to drink my water and I weighed myself. I hope everyone is having a great start to August.
08/03 - 268.2. Water: Check! Logging my food: Check! stay within calories: X. I went over by about 200 yesterday. No excuses, just several reasons. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm Anna Height: 5'4" Age: 40
Aug 1 weight: 137.5
Aug 1 waist (low waist) = 34.75"
August end goal weight: 134
August end goal waist = 33.5"
Ultimate goal: 130

I'm also tracking my fat loss, since scale weight is only part of the story of body composition. I intend for my goal weight to reflect only fat loss. I also measure my waist to track that as well since that is ultimately what I care about. I plan to get there by hacking my bad habits (reading The Power of Habit), and being mindful of what I eat.

Aug 1 - 137.5, 34.75" low waist, strength training, 3 mile run, too much snacking
Aug 2 - 138.5, strength training, 12,033 steps, good eating day
Aug 3 - 136.8, strength training, good eating day
Aug 4 - 137.0, 34.5" low waist, 3 mile run

Goals: don’t fall off the wagon when school starts back up!

08/01 - 179.2
08/02 - 180.8 (had a refeeding day yesterday)
08/03 - 182.3
08/04 - 181.4

August Starting Weight - 205.4 (7/31)
August Goal - <202

Date - Daily WI / 14 day TREND (Happy Scale Smoothing based on change over previous 14 days)
8/1 – 205.6 / 205.2
8/2 - 205.6 / 205.3
8/3 - 204.4 / 205.1
8/4 - 202.8 / 204.4 😎 Whoosh! The scale is moving again!
8/5 - 202.5 / 203.7

Not seen this number since 2003 when I got down to 195 after seeing my dad have a stroke. Then again in 2006 when I was caring for my dad and sister when they both had cancer. Seems that other people have serious health issues that could be genetic and inherited trigger me to lose the most. Both times I gained the weight back plus more. This time I'm taking it slower and when I started this weight loss journey it was for me. Started in 2019 at highest 245 lbs when I retired and just want to be healthy & active "senior".

My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 60 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.


Starting Weight (from July 31st): 192.4
Goal: 187.4 (Five lb Loss)
Ending Weight:

08/01 – 191.4 Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!
08/02 - 189.6 I am likely dehydrated due to low water consumption while the well is broke and no water is coming into the house. I’m being very conservative for sure! However, I did have a very good day yesterday with over 2600 calories burned overall. All my fitbit circles were green and completed. I was in the green with my calories on MFP. So I am hoping that at least part of this new weight number will stick.
08/03 - 190.4 Finally clean beautiful water flowing out of my well again. I expected this uptick when I rehydrated. I was so hungry yesterday! After losing weight 2 days in a row my body decided it wanted the fat back! I caved in and ate some cheese pizza (I threw the crust away). Clearly, guzzling water and eating pizza is not a good combo! I stayed within my calorie and carb goal however. It was a good day overall. I managed to avoid some serious temptations and I am hoping to get back into the 180’s now that I’ve touched them Even if I touched them shriveled up and dry as a bone and I move forward all plump with water, I will do it! !
08/04 - 191.6 Traveled yesterday and ate a rich meal. Brought home half and will finish it today, but without the long travel today I should get in more movement and more water. Dr. appointment tomorrow so you can be sure that today will be a carefully planned day that I shall tiptoe through.
08/05 - 191.2 Down a bit from yesterday so that is good. My well went out again yesterday morn so I am living in a nightmare right now again. I hope they can fix it right today! I have a doctor’s appointment this afternoon so I am going trick or treating in a little bit to beg for a shower from a neighbor. Better days ahead I hope.
