😀😀😀***AUGUST 2021 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***😀😀😀

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: 186.8

Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



Aug 01: 191.4…..(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 tell….. Good luck everyone. Lets make August count!

Aug 08: 190.6…..(trend weight 192.6) I am doing okay this month but I practiced some self-sabotage last night. I’ve 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 true…….

Aug 15: 187.6…..(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: 185.4…..(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. I’ll take the 2.9 lb loss for sure though!

Aug 29: 188.4…..(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: 186.8…..(trend weight 188.3) I’m happy to see this back down a bit after much travel this past week. Today’s weight is not my low for the month, but it is 5.6 pounds lower than start of challenge. That met my goal and I am a doing a happy dance right now. Summer has been good to me overall… Congrats to all who met their personal goals of all types.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Didn't make my goal weight this month but still lost 3.4lbs, so I'm happy with that. It's a slow process but a loss is a loss and I'm down 30.6lbs this year. Looking forward to September, I will more than likely get more walking in as well being on the go more since ringette season starts for my girls (hoping we can make it past tryouts this year and it doesn't get shutdown).
