On the 30th of July, I weighed myself and found I was at 142.7 kg (314.59 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)
30 / 7: 142.7 kg
01 / 8: 142.2 kg
02 / 8: 141.1 kg
03 / 8: 140.7 kg (lots of guesswork in logging dinner tonight)
04 / 8: 140.2 kg Waist: 135 cm (measured around belly button)
05 / 8: 139.6 kg YAY - I'm under 140. Charging into new territory.
06 / 8: 140.6 kg (oops!)
07 / 8: 139.8 kg
08 / 8: 140.7 kg (oops again)
09 / 8: 139.9 kg
10 / 8: 140 kg Waist: 134 cm
11 / 8: 138.9 kg
12 / 8: 139.5 kg
13 / 8: 139.6 kg
14 / 8: 138.3 kg
15 / 8: 138.7 kg
16 / 8: 137.4 kg
17 / 8: 137.5 kg (I finally got some kitchen scales. These will help with logging!)
18 / 8: 136.9 kg
This morning, MyFitnessPal told me I was half way to my immediate goal of 133kg (which I set years ago!)

Original start weight: 293
August start weight: 172.2
August goal weight: 160-165 (maintenance range)
Aug 1 - 172.2 (Back from vacation and feeling good. August is going to be a great month!)
Aug 2 - 169.6 (Busy first day back to work but stayed positive. Ate well and focused on my step goal.)
Aug 3 - 167.6 (Dentist after work and then I'll hopefully find time for a Peloton ride or another walk, or both!)
Aug 4 - 166.2 (Have stress at work. Afterwards I will decompress with some kind of exercise. Last night I chose to do upper body strength as my exercise of choice and it felt great.)
Aug 5 - 165.8 (Found time to ride the Peloton last night and it felt good. Off to the lake for the weekend as soon as work is done.)
Aug 6 - 164.6 (Nice sunny day here today. I am going to aim for 10,000 steps which will require 1-2 longer walks around our lakeside trailer park. We have a bigger dinner tonight my husband is making for our trailer friends.)
Aug 7 - 165.8 (Yesterday I underperformed on my fitness and food plans so the return to the higher weight is completely expected. Tonight we return from the lake and have supper with friends before heading home.)
Aug 8 - 167 (Yesterday we came back from the lake, walked to and from a friend's house for a pizza supper, and then I did some yoga and strength. A good day.)
Aug 9 - 166.2
Aug 10 - 167.6 (Having some tough days at work and feeling the stress. Had a good day of food and exercise today. One day at a time!)

Aug 12 - 166.8 (Had a lot of exercise today. Gold day overall. I am excited to get to the lake tonight after work. Weather is looking to be quite hot.)
Aug 13 - 164 (Had an unexpected late night due to some concerns with my dog.. she's fine but I definitely slept in this morning. My husband is going for a long bike ride as he's training for a Gran Fondo so the dog and I will be hanging at our trailer. Will try to get her out for a few short walks before it gets too hot.)
Aug 14 - 163.8 (Feels good to see my second day in a row in my maintenance range since I got back from holidays. I planned my food well yesterday and got my 10K steps. My husband leaves from the lake to head north for a business trip this evening so my Mom is coming out for a BBQ and visit and then I'll go back home with her.)
Aug 15 - 165.2 (My husband is away on business so it feels quiet. I plan to walk my dog before work today as it'll be a hot day. Will get my activity off on the right foot!)
Aug 16 - 164.4 (Rode the Peloton last night and did some healthy cooking. Pre-prepped a breakfast
smoothie that was a tasty start to my day. Lots of fibre today!)
Aug 17 - 164.6 (Beautiful sunny day here. Work is busy, one foot in front of the other. Got pulled into an unexpected work meeting and missed my lunch time walk. Tonight I have to get a cavity filled at the dentist and then I'll be able to go out for my walk.)3 -
Keep it up @tassieboy1

@tassieboy Nice work! I didn’t know MFP sent you goal updates like that! Interesting. I too work a desk job 4 days a week, 12-14 hours a day. I just got a contraption today to make my desk into a sitting or standing desk. I can’t wait to give it a try.2

8/1: 185lbs
8/2: 186lbs ⬆️
8/3: 184.5 lbs ⬇️ Wednesday is my usual weigh-in. Nothing to add. A bit overwhelmed by pending appointments this month. Then travel by air with my 83 dad with Parkinsons. Fretting already. I know that is not helpful healthwise. But take a deep breath and move one foot forward.
8/9: 188 lbs ⬆️⬆️⬆️
8/10: 185 lbs ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Wednesday regular weigh-in. This week I finally sorted through some of my mom's pictures. Being more active using the treadmill. Still overeating at dinner. Lots a things to work on.
8/17: 185 lbs Well back to my August start weight. Finally put to rest an item not so pleasant that happened in March 2021. I didn't think about it every day but it was always in the back of my mind. Roof being reshingled and another item checked off. Nothing to do about calorie intake but deals with my emotions that is a catalyst for binges.

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.

8/6 219.5 Yesterday was a really tough day, didn’t hit any of my goals except water
8/7: 218
8/8: 218 I have hit my mini goal of 218 and this means I have gone from Class 3 Obesity to Class 2. I have mixed emotions about this….
8/9: 219 just a pound, I can deal with it
8/10: 219 Hit my step goal✅ Under my sodium goal✅
8/11: 218 Didn’t even remotely hit my step goal✖️ Under sodium✅
Yesterday was tough. Worked a silly long shift and ate way under calories. It was time for bed and I was so tired but I still needed to eat 400 calories. I’m aware this is not a healthy, sustainable way to lose weight. I just couldn’t do it, bed won out. Hoping to make up for it today or just move on.
8/12: 218 Oops, not a stellar day, didn’t make step goal ✖️was over sodium✖️
However, I’m on vacation until 8/22! Plans fell through so it is a staycation but I have plenty to do! So happy!
8/13: 217.5 Increased my step goal✅ Stayed under my sodium goal✅ Yesterday was a stellar day, lots of swimming, lots of walking, ate great, went to bed happy! Staycation agrees with me!
8/14: 217.5 Literally did nothing yesterday. Fed the cats and took two naps. Did not increase my step goal✖️ Stayed under my sodium goal✅
8/15: 218 Increased my step goal ✅ went way over my sodium goal ✖️
8/16: 217 Increased my step goal✅ Under my sodium goal✅
8/17: 214.9 (!) Met my step count but didn’t increase✖️Way over sodium✖️Looking back I can see I’m not really hitting my goals this month. The weight is coming off which will help with health but I really want to improve my heart health. I’m going to try harder but it’s already a challenge when you are watching calories, macros, alcohol, sodium, steps, exercise and weight. I don’t want to get burnt out!

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!

My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.
My initial target is 100kg, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too.
Today's update:
14/8: 106.3kg (234lbs)
15/8: 105.1kg
16/8: 104.3kg
17/8: 103.9kg (229lbs) Waist 44.5"
18/8: 104.0kg Body Fat: 35%
19/8: 104.1kg Calories: 1238. Body Fat: 34.8%
Weight loss is levelling out now as I come to the end of fluid loss.4 -

08/19-201.6-(Trend Weight 200.0)- Counters are being delivered today so FINALLY (maybe} we can get the work finished on the kitchen in the (very) near future. While waiting, my handymen managed to finish the egress window in my son’s room. All the trims inside and out were actually finished yesterday. It adds a lot of light and fresh air, but more importantly safety. I’ve ordered a new grate and lid for it. Yesterday’s diet was wonderful, until about 11:00 pm. Then I added about 325 extra calories because I was so hungry. But it was “good food”, not junk. Low-carb bread with chunk chicken breast with mayo mixed in and walnuts thrown in to make a yummy low carb sandwich. The scale still dropped. I am going to try to plan my meals more carefully today and figure out the spacing.

Original start weight: 293
August start weight: 172.2
August goal weight: 160-165 (maintenance range)
Aug 1 - 172.2 (Back from vacation and feeling good. August is going to be a great month!)
Aug 2 - 169.6 (Busy first day back to work but stayed positive. Ate well and focused on my step goal.)
Aug 3 - 167.6 (Dentist after work and then I'll hopefully find time for a Peloton ride or another walk, or both!)
Aug 4 - 166.2 (Have stress at work. Afterwards I will decompress with some kind of exercise. Last night I chose to do upper body strength as my exercise of choice and it felt great.)
Aug 5 - 165.8 (Found time to ride the Peloton last night and it felt good. Off to the lake for the weekend as soon as work is done.)
Aug 6 - 164.6 (Nice sunny day here today. I am going to aim for 10,000 steps which will require 1-2 longer walks around our lakeside trailer park. We have a bigger dinner tonight my husband is making for our trailer friends.)
Aug 7 - 165.8 (Yesterday I underperformed on my fitness and food plans so the return to the higher weight is completely expected. Tonight we return from the lake and have supper with friends before heading home.)
Aug 8 - 167 (Yesterday we came back from the lake, walked to and from a friend's house for a pizza supper, and then I did some yoga and strength. A good day.)
Aug 9 - 166.2
Aug 10 - 167.6 (Having some tough days at work and feeling the stress. Had a good day of food and exercise today. One day at a time!)
Aug 11 - 167.4 (Good day so far, haircut after work, had a nice lunchtime walk with my husband. Focusing on what's within my control.)
Aug 12 - 166.8 (Had a lot of exercise today. Gold day overall. I am excited to get to the lake tonight after work. Weather is looking to be quite hot.)
Aug 13 - 164 (Had an unexpected late night due to some concerns with my dog.. she's fine but I definitely slept in this morning. My husband is going for a long bike ride as he's training for a Gran Fondo so the dog and I will be hanging at our trailer. Will try to get her out for a few short walks before it gets too hot.)
Aug 14 - 163.8 (Feels good to see my second day in a row in my maintenance range since I got back from holidays. I planned my food well yesterday and got my 10K steps. My husband leaves from the lake to head north for a business trip this evening so my Mom is coming out for a BBQ and visit and then I'll go back home with her.)
Aug 15 - 165.2 (My husband is away on business so it feels quiet. I plan to walk my dog before work today as it'll be a hot day. Will get my activity off on the right foot!)
Aug 16 - 164.4 (Rode the Peloton last night and did some healthy cooking. Pre-prepped a breakfast
smoothie that was a tasty start to my day. Lots of fibre today!)
Aug 17 - 164.6 (Beautiful sunny day here. Work is busy, one foot in front of the other. Got pulled into an unexpected work meeting and missed my lunch time walk. Tonight I have to get a cavity filled at the dentist and then I'll be able to go out for my walk.)
Aug 18 - 166.8 (Busy day at work as I'm off tomorrow and have lots of meetings. Also have a doctor's appointment at lunch so I'll be walking there and back. Step count should be decent when I get home but I still expect my dog will need a walk unless my husband finds a window to get her out before I get home.)
Aug 19 - 167.8 (Today was truly special. I had the day off and my hot air balloon ride that my husband gifted me on our wedding day finally went ahead. We then went to the mountains and biked 70 KM or so... just had so much fun.)3 -
My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.
My initial target is 100kg, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too.
Today's update:
14/8: 106.3kg (234lbs)
15/8: 105.1kg
16/8: 104.3kg
17/8: 103.9kg (229lbs) Waist 44.5"
18/8: 104.0kg Calories: 1237 Body Fat: 35.0%
19/8: 104.1kg Calories: 1238. Body Fat: 34.8%
20/8: 104.1kg Calories: 1277. Body Fat: 35.1%
Seem to have plateaued really quickly despite good calorie control. Still, 2.2kg in 7 days is good weight loss so to be expected.3 -
@joans1976 Wow! Well done you with your weight loss and med reduction! I have heard how difficult it is to come off anti psychs. Like you I'm still on anti depressants (have been for many years now). Thanks for the offer of friendship too, but I'd rather just post on here. I just have to keep my life very simple these days so I try to minimise time on line just stick to face to face relationships. Nothing personal, and hope that you understand. You're right, we are responsible still for what goes in our mouths. We may have reasons why things are more difficult but they are no excuse for doing nothing. Let's keep in touch on this feed. 😀2

This is the first forum I've posted to, but after reading all your posts, I am intrigued by the shared accountability.
8/20: 217. Plan is to take a morning walk with my wife when she's up, Saturday errands, trim some hedges, and 20 minutes on the exercise bike.2 -
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: 218
8/1: 220
8/2: 220 Increased my step count ✅ Stayed under my sodium goal ✅
Sore back today 😞
8/3: 219.5 Met my step count but didn’t increase, went 45 mg over sodium 🤷🏻♀️
8/4: 220 Under step goal ✖️Under sodium goal✅
8/5: 219.5 under step goal✖️over sodium goal✖️Work was a nightmare, barely slept, ugh! 3 days off now, hoping to decompress and reset!
8/6 219.5 Yesterday was a really tough day, didn’t hit any of my goals except water
8/7: 218
8/8: 218 I have hit my mini goal of 218 and this means I have gone from Class 3 Obesity to Class 2. I have mixed emotions about this….
8/9: 219 just a pound, I can deal with it
8/10: 219 Hit my step goal✅ Under my sodium goal✅
8/11: 218 Didn’t even remotely hit my step goal✖️ Under sodium✅
Yesterday was tough. Worked a silly long shift and ate way under calories. It was time for bed and I was so tired but I still needed to eat 400 calories. I’m aware this is not a healthy, sustainable way to lose weight. I just couldn’t do it, bed won out. Hoping to make up for it today or just move on.
8/12: 218 Oops, not a stellar day, didn’t make step goal ✖️was over sodium✖️
However, I’m on vacation until 8/22! Plans fell through so it is a staycation but I have plenty to do! So happy!
8/13: 217.5 Increased my step goal✅ Stayed under my sodium goal✅ Yesterday was a stellar day, lots of swimming, lots of walking, ate great, went to bed happy! Staycation agrees with me!
8/14: 217.5 Literally did nothing yesterday. Fed the cats and took two naps. Did not increase my step goal✖️ Stayed under my sodium goal✅
8/15: 218 Increased my step goal ✅ went way over my sodium goal ✖️
8/16: 217 Increased my step goal✅ Under my sodium goal✅
8/17: 214.9 (!) Met my step count but didn’t increase✖️Way over sodium✖️Looking back I can see I’m not really hitting my goals this month. The weight is coming off which will help with health but I really want to improve my heart health. I’m going to try harder but it’s already a challenge when you are watching calories, macros, alcohol, sodium, steps, exercise and weight. I don’t want to get burnt out!
8/18: 214.9 Step goal✖️ Sodium goal✅
8/19: 213.9 Step goal✅ Sodium goal✅
