    August goal - to not gain


    With my right leg in a beautiful walking boot due to a stress fracture from March that I finally got diagnosed/xrayed in late July, my exercise is nil. My entire goal for the month is to not gain. While in Orlando for work, my focus is going to be protein + veg.

    8/1 - 197.8
    8/2 - to Orlando for work meeting, no scale
    8/3 - Orlando
    8/4 - Orlando
    8/5 - Orlando, late flight home
    8/6 - 197.8
    8/8 - 200.2
    8/9 - 200.0
    8/10 - 200.4
    8/11 - 199.8 still a lot of water retention that I'm working on
    8/12 - 199.4 slight drop but I'm good with that.
    8/13 - to Cincinnati for a Reds vs Cubs baseball game with my family, in honor of my dad
    8/14 - home from Cincinnati
    8/15 - 203.0 boo
    8/16 - 201.4 ok
    8/17 - 199.4 ok fluid coming off. Feet and ankles are still swollen but better. Still irritated about not being able to exercise the way I want. I have to focus on my food choices.
    8/18
    8/19
    8/20
    8/21
    8/22 - my birthday!
    8/23
    8/24 - my husband's birthday!

    My name is Tina, Height: 5'6" Age: 55
    MFP starting weight: 149.2 (3/30/21)
    July end weight: 130.0
    July results: +1.4
    August goal: maintenance of 128-132

    My goal this month is to maintain weight as well as increase activity. I will be moving at some point this month so I will be doing a lot of packing. Have been waiting for a definite start date on a new job, but they are still going through the process of doing background checks and such. I currently work for the State and have been accepted for another position with the State. Unfortunately, they won't just open my personnel file and retrieve the information they already have, they are doing it all over again from scratch. It has been over a month since they began. It's very frustrating. Anyway, somehow I am hoping to find time to increase workouts/walks while packing and preparing for a wedding.

    8/01: DNW
    8/02: DNW
    8/03: 129.0 (129.4 trend)
    8/04: 128.0 (129.2 trend)
    8/05: DNW
    8/06: DNW
    8/07: DNW
    8/08: DNW
    8/09: DNW
    8/10: 130.6 (130.0 trend)
    8/11: DNW
    8/12: 130.8 (130.2 trend)
    8/13: 129.0 (130.1 trend)
    8/14: DNW
    8/15: 129.4 (129.9 trend)
    8/16: 129.0 (129.8 trend)
    8/17: 129.0 (129.7 trend)
    8/18: DNW Down to the last few days before move. New job finally came through. Start next Tuesday, move this Saturday. Frantically trying to pack things up and not eating well. Too afraid to step on the scales this morning.

    Good luck on the move and start of your new job! Remember to give yourself some grace, these are stressful things in and of themselves much less doing all at once!

    Congratulations on the new job!! So glad the process has finally finished and you have a start date.

    You are dealing with so much right now with the new job and the move! Don't worry about the scale, no need to add more stress to yourself. Pack up the scale and don't worry about the number. Try to make the best food choices you can but don't stress about it.

    @mthomas0228 and @nikkit321

    Thank you both! It is very stressful. The problem is, I am also getting married on the 3rd of September and I'm afraid the dress I got won't fit :#

    I need accountability and some occasional feedback so here goes:
    5’11”, Age 65
    HW 396
    CW 255.6
    GW 170
    I like to swim laps and ride a recumbent bike for exercise. I have been ‘stuck’ weight-wise for the past year.

    Hi, all! I am a 2x cancer survivor dealing with Hypothyroidism, early Menopause, and Plantar Fasciitis, trying to lose weight to feel stronger, keep up with my kids, and hopefully be able to find clothes that work with my body's shape post-mastectomy and four pregnancies/three c-sections.

    Height: 5'4"
    Age: 45
    January Starting Weight: 194.7
    February Starting Weight: 196.1
    March Starting Weight: 189.8
    April Starting Weight: 187.0
    May Starting Weight: 185.8
    June Starting Weight:
    July Starting Weight: 190.7
    August Starting Weight: 190.1

    Goals: Plan and Log all food, Quit sugary drinks, Manage midnight eating, increase gym time, stretch.

    08/01: 190.1 - Mindful midnight eating.
    08/02: 188.7 - Went swimming. Limited my iced tea/lemonade consumption to 1 glass at work.
    08/03: 190.1 - Later dinner with family, heavy carbs in that meal, stress ate before bed. Sigh.
    08/04: 188.6 - Stayed within my calories.
    08/05: 190.0 - My "guesstimate" calories were waaaaaay off.
    08/06: 190.5 - Still combating late night hunger/cravings.
    08/07: 190.5 - Zumba day. It was a lot of fun, but my left hip isn't having fun today. Lol!
    08/08: 190.7 - Had a sugary drink at work again but only ate roasted veggies when I came home late.
    08/09: 189.8 - Working hard at work.
    08/10: 189.6 - Did not overindulge at dinner.
    08/11: 188.6 - Day off and did well staying in calorie range.
    08/12: 191.3 - This was a doctor's office morning weight. is my scale a few pounds off???
    08/13: 190.5 - I woke up to this number, so maybe it is my weight that is up and not the scale.
    08/14: 190.6
    08/15: 190.7
    08/16: 190.5 - Work exercise is not enough to make up for the calories I am eating.
    08/17: 190.3
    08/18: 190.3
    08/19: 189.9 - Cut back on my calories at dinner.

    @TinaLeigh67 - Sending all the best to you as you settle into your new job! And I agree, you will be beautiful on your upcoming wedding day!
    @deepwoodslady - I am thankful to hear about your all clear test results!
    @FastFriend - Welcome! I too am struggling with accountability and consistency.
    @Zampoki - Hi! When I log onto our page, I am first brought to my last post, so I copy it, read through all the new posts, and then past my previous entry and update it with my morning weight for the new day.
    @ashleycarole86 - Congrats on your progress this month!
    @nikkit321 - Congrats on your downward trend!
    @mthomas0228 - That sauce sounds amazing!
