    Thanks @joans1976 for starting us off for August!

    I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it hard to get my rhythm back even though I'm back to working on site now. I've gained back too much of that 15kg loss. I plan to go back to basics because I KNOW it works for me!

    Initial Starting Weight: 138.3kg (304.9lbs)
    August Starting Weight: 131.9kg (290.8lbs)
    August Goal Weight: 129.9kg (286.4lbs)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 64kg (141lbs)

    AUGUST GOALS (DAILY):
    👟 Walk 5000+ steps
    💦 Drink 2L+ plain water
    📔 Log all calories
    🐨 Social media <60 mins
    ⚖️ Weigh in daily

    On the 30th of July, I weighed myself and found I was at a lifetime high - 142.7 kg (314.59 pounds)
    So I'm back using MyFitnessPal again.

    My long-term goal has always been to get down to double digits - 99kg (218.2 pounds) but that's a crazy dream.
    I think a realistic shorter-term goal is to reach 130 kg (286.6 pounds)

    My goals during august are to:
    * Measure progress regularly (weight and waist circumference)
    * Log food and meet daily food goals each day
    * Be more deliberate about exercise, especially little exercises during the work day (I sit at a desk all day)

    Seeing some progress already.
    30 / 7: 142.7 kg
    01 / 8: 142.2 kg
    02 / 8: 141.1 kg

    I’ve got my calories and logging under control, my macros somewhat under control, my water intake under control. Now, I want to lower my sodium intake and up my daily step goal! I have a doctors appointment at the end of the month and would like some good news….I know I have a long way to go but I have to get there some time.

    OSW: 250
    UGW: 150
    CW: 220
    8/31 GW: 214
    Mini goal: 215

    8/1: 220
    8/2: 220 Increased my step count ✅ Stayed under my sodium goal ✅
    Sore back today 😞

    ⚖️ Weigh in daily

    DAILY LOG:
    August 1: ⚖️ 132.2kg 👟 5,500 steps 💦2L 📔 1,786 calories 🐨 28 mins | A fairly productive day at work. We called the bank and got indicative pre-approval for a home loan to buy the new house we want to get - hopefully going to take a proper look on Friday but we'll see. It's actually my cousin's house so I know it a bit but hubby has only ever been there a couple of times! Bit exciting, but also stressful to be going into so much debt. The bank wouldn't factor in my hubby's income either because his business is too new (must be running for more than 18 months, apparently) so it's good that we managed to get the pre-approval considering it only had my income, but all the expenses!

    August 2: ⚖️ 131.7kg 👟 6,121 steps 💦 2.5L 📔 1,940 calories 🐨 53 mins | A busy day at work, didn't get enough steps during the day so did some walking in place in the evening. Struggling a bit with a knee injury on one leg and a foot injury on the other. Sometimes I'm just hobbling around! Made some more progress on the home-buying process, closing out a credit card that I didn't know existed so it disappears from my credit report and had the bank's valuer visit our current house so we know how much collateral we have. We are intending to keep this house and rent it out once we move. He couldn't give us the exact number or even a proper ballpark but was able to reassure us that it will be within a particular range - the lower end of that range is still enough for what we need so that has been a relief! Spent half the evening working from home as I left work a little early to meet the valuer and needed to catch up on some work - didn't mean to spend as long as I did, but got the report done that I needed to.

    COLOR CODE: Fuchsia is a Happy Weight Loss for me. Blue is a sad weight gain.Black is no change.



    08/01-201.2-(Trend Weight 201.4)- Gradually dropping on the scale over the past few days. Pleased to see that. Getting ready to leave for surgery. I’ll be back soon!

    08/02-202.0-(Trend Weight 201.4)- I weighed at hospital on different scale this morning. I’m okay post-surgery. They changed the surgery up a bit. Some for good reasons, some for not-so-good but they promise I will be able to breathe much better soon. No improvement yet and I really thought the better breathing would be immediate. Taking it easy and following Drs orders. Lots of changes in the meds.
