    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 2012 (although my stats say 2017) - 80kg
    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 71,6kg
    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:70

    Knowing how slow it went these last months, I will try to at least lose 0,5kg or around 1 pound every month. Seriously slooooooow, but that's the way it is when almost at goal. I'd rather lose 3 pounds than stay at the same weight.

    June 3: 71,6
    July 10: 72 Well, that's not good. I ate a ton of fruit yesterday, so I just hope that it is some result from that. We'll see...
    July 17: 71,8 - I'm basically maintaining and I really need that extra nudge to power through to lose the last ones !
    July 24: 71,9 - I did so very very well all week, but yesterday I got into a fight with a cookie jar, and the jar won ... :neutral:
    July 31: 71,8 - yeah well, still maintaining. I'm leaving for a one week holiday on Thursday with loads of exercise (diving) and I hope this will shift some things !

    July Goal: 71
    July Actual: 71,8
    July Loss: + 0,2

    August 7: HOLIDAY!

    July 31: 187.4 - Friends here for the week - had a weekend long party and I joined in with the festivities. I know that is just bloating from the salt and alcohol and will hopefully come off quickly. Met my 4 pound goal for a split second, now just down 1 pound - but it will not defeat me!

    CHALLENGE ENDING WEIGHT:


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    07/24-193.8-(Trend Weight: 196.5)-

    07/31-193.8-(Trend Weight: 195.4)- As you can tell by my trend weight, overall I have been doing pretty good. However, I finally figured out that a drink I have been buying (diet with zero calories and carbs) was actually loaded with sugar. 100 calories per bottle and 33 carbs! I accidentally bought the non-diet version of the Lipton Green Tea citrus and it has been causing a stall to a gain on the days I drink it. I had no idea! Luckily I caught it (after a month). I don’t drink it daily so I still had 3 cases left which I promptly gave to my skinny daughter for work. Frustrated, but moving forward and continuing to fight the good fight.

    YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:
    158.1 lbs (trend 159.4)

    YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:
    147 lbs

    My goal for this challenge is ambitious - to get back into my healthy BMI. There are 2 simple things I have done which have worked well for me in the past: eat at my calorie limit and get 22 active minutes of exercise per day.

    July 3: 158.1 lbs (trend 159.4)
    July 10: 157.2 lbs (trend 158.1)
    July 17: 156.7 lbs (trend 157.2)
    July 24: 155.9 lbs (trend 156.7)
    July 31: 156.7 lbs (trend 156.5)

    July Goal: 154.4 lbs
    July Actual: 156.7 lbs
    July Loss: -1.4 lbs

    I have been achieving my daily goals but I suspect I am having fluid fluctuations that caused me to gain last week. I feel bloated and hopefully it clears soon. I am not going to let it derail me though. Once I would have given up but the first step to getting back on track is showing up here and being accountable.

    @deepwoodslady it must have been a shock when you realised you hadn't been drinking the low cal version. But at least you found the cause of your stall/gain. Good to see you had someone to give your full sugar tea to too!

    08/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 195.2)- I’ve changed my goals to 4 pounds per month instead of 5. That is one even pound per week with the half week being allowed for normal fluctuations or special occasions or travel. Seems easier and more realistic. Good luck in this new month, my friends. I hope we can all take advantage of the rest of summer and make every choice count. I’m rooting for you all!

    Again, apologies for the lack of posting here. Been extremely busy at work making long days in the office often followed by continuing to work from home in the evenings. I did do my weigh ins (twice a week) and kept up with my food for the most part.

    I used the calculator that @Walela617 shared. So it calculated lowering my calories by 500 and my slightly active lifestyle, I could lose 13 lbs by October 5th. So I am going for it. My June 28th weight was 193lbs

    I’m feeling good about my progress! I need to incorporate more workouts, as my progress is primarily due to intermittent fasting. Let’s go!

    Little bit of a slower start for August, but I kind of expected that as my focus right now is just diet changes. I'm planning to add in more exercising soon so hopefully that will help more. Still, I'm happy with my numbers so far.

    Hi Everyone. At my heaviest. :( MFP worked for me before some 5 yrs ago, helping me lose 37lbs. Pound by pound, I gained it all back, along with an additional 20 lbs. This is going to have to be a lifestyle change this time around. Too difficult to do this any other way. Consistency is the only magic pill that I know works. Stay focused. Wishing you all much success! ;)

    @Juslilly Your goal numbers (169 lbs and eventually 140 lbs) are exactly the same as mine! I have a bit longer to go though, because I started at 270.9 lbs. Looks like you're doing great, keep it up!

    Thanks so much takinitalloff! However long it takes doesn’t matter, just as long as the scale continues to move in the right direction. One pound at a time…

    I am home. My scale was so upset with me I had to tell it in the App that it was I that had logged in.

    Only did two hikes.
    I brought the puppy along for one of them next year will be easier because puppy will be capable of doing long hikes. Puppy will need long hikes. Ate so very very much.

    Now I should be fresh and focused for a while I hope. I can feel my joints going I thought we agreed to that sugar and fine wheat don't agree with us.

    I painted my nails last night. Barbie anyone? I hope this brings a smile to all your faces!

    I liked barbie. My husband claims he has never seen me with painted nails before. But we have only known each other for 14 and a half years so that is not so odd.
