I missed my goal in July. I hit it then in the last week had a medical procedure and gained a ton of water weight. I believe my true July end weight is about 175.5. My goal is based off that. In the last three days Iβve upped my cardio and added strength training.

Month Loss = 2.3 lbs.
Left to Month Goal = 6.4 lbs.
Left To UGW = 46.9 lbs
This small gain was expected from vacation, not too concerned
Should still be able to be in the 170's by the end of the month, which would be a big win for me!

Total loss for August: Finally looks like I'm making progress again and am down over a half pound for the month. That's better than a half pound gain, but not the two pounds I was looking for. Well, scale weight is down two pounds, so if that trend keeps declining for the next three days, I might end the month on a good note. I'll check in....

I have been traveling on and off all summer. Also, I had a really bad ankle sprain which kept me inactive for several weeks. Ankle is all well, and I'm home for a bit before traveling again. I gained some weight, but I'm now putting a stop to that. I almost wasn't going to join the August Challenge; however, I decided to do it. Mostly, because I enjoy these sorts of challenges, and find them quite motivating.ππ§‘7 -

My name is Donna. I am 61 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US.
Start Weight (from July 31st ): 192.4
Goal Weight: 187.4
End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (Iβll know it when I get there!)
Aug 01: 191.4β¦..(trend weight 194.6) A good way to start. However, due to an emergency with my well, there was no time to eat very much yesterday so this may not stick. Time will tellβ¦.. Good luck everyone. Lets make August count!
Aug 08: 190.6β¦..(trend weight 192.6) I am doing okay this month but I practiced some self-sabotage last night. Iβve really got to work on allowing myself to succeed. Luckily I got too full with the late night (extra) meal to eat more. I am still showing a loss since last weigh in. Since I am filled with remorse, guilt and shame today, I will probably do great today. Sad but trueβ¦β¦.
Aug 15: 187.6β¦..(trend weight 191.1) A good week for weight loss. There was one momentary day that it was up after a travel day, but otherwise, it went well. Lots of other problems, but keeping my diet in line is something I am working very hard at, even during turmoil. No eating my emotions if I can help it!
Aug 22: 185.4β¦..(trend weight 188.2) A nice loss again this week. I was mainly on point although there are very busy times when I stay within calories and macros but make questionable choices. I need to work on lasting good habits and better choices for better overall health. Iβll take the 2.9 lb loss for sure though!
Aug 29: 188.4β¦..(trend weight 188.4)A gain this week after a birthday party for DGD and several days of travel/sitting and restaurant meals. Getting back in the home groove today. I am still down 4 pounds from starting weight and my trend weight has finally caught up to my scale weight. I am looking forward to the September challenge. There is still lots of spunk and progress in me!
Aug 31: xxxxxβ¦..(trend weight xxxxx)
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Aug 22: 232.4 - I don't know what's going on. I was down to 228 on Wed and then my weight has gone up a pound a day. I think I'm having bathroom troubles and it's building up. I expect next week to be about 5 pounds lighter. At least I hope - I've been under calorie every day.
Aug 29: 231.2 - Once again, this is my highest weight of the week. My body protests weigh in day :P At least I guess I'll show some loss this month, just not what I wanted. I go on a cruise leaving Friday, so no September challenge, but I'm going to do my best to keep the gain low.

Total loss for August: Since I care more about averages and trends than one-day weights, I can say that I did in fact lose a tiny bit more than that half pound this month. My trend is down two pounds since July 4, so that's good too.
