    6: 200.5 🎶Whoop.. there it is.. whoop there it is!🎶 My July 4th festivities have caught up with me and now the leftover chips and cupcakes have been consumed… mostly by me. I’m not mad at myself… it’s just time to get things moving back to healthier.

    I’m a cruncher by nature, so on the way to work I’ll pick up a veg tray as my chip substitution for the next few days.

    Plus, swimming makes me ravenous! I need these easy healthy snacks to conquer the munchies!

    July was an interesting month for many of us. I somehow squeaked in a 1.3 pound loss for the month.

    On to August!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    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



    Starting Weight (from June 30th): 198.2
    Goal: (Five lb Loss) 193.2
    Actual Ending Weight: 193.8


    Mini challenge: My monthly goal is always about 5 pounds per month. HOWEVER, I never seem to make that. I will continue to keep that goal because it Should Be achievable (even though it is not for me) but never say never, right? So, Between Independence Day Holiday (July 4th) and Labor Day Holiday (Sept 4th) I will weigh somewhere, ANYWHERE in the 180’s. I don’t care if it’s on the brim. I’ve got to start getting further away from the 200’s again! Starting Weight on 7/4 is 195.4.


    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    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.

    07/30-194.2-(Trend Weight 195.6)- I am doing well this round. I’m down exactly 4 pounds. That is really good for me in a month. However, I would have to lose one full pound overnight to make goal and I don’t think that is going to happen. However, it wouldn’t be the first time….. We’ll see what happens. I’m planning a perfect day today. NO SELF SABOTAGE DONNA, PLEEEEEEASE!!!

    07/31-193.8-(Trend Weight 195.4)- I lost 4.4 lbs in July. I’m pretty proud of that even though I usually strive for 5 pounds per month. I am still aiming for ANYTHING in the 180’s by Labor Day (early Sept). As of right now, it is still very do-able. I just have to keep my sleeves rolled up and my hat on straight. Thanks Jill for another great month and for posting the next one. See you all there!

    G'day all. I'm Adam from Tasmania. I started around 142kg late last year and made good progress.
    Lately, I've been stuck in a bit of a holding pattern. I got lazy with logging my food.
    Time to get back under control.

    I dropped my phone a few weeks ago so June logging ground to a halt. I finally bought myself a new phone last weekend.

    01/08/2022 - 142.2 kg (Starting Point)
    17/06/2023 - 122.6 kg (Lowest Point)
    ...
    01/07/2023 - 122.5 kg
    02/07/2023 - 123.8 kg
    03/07/2023 - 123.5 kg
    04/07/2023 - 123.3 kg
    05/07/2023 - did not weigh
    06/07/2023 - did not weigh
    07/07/2023 - 125.5 kg (eek)
    08/08/2023 - 124.4 kg
    09/07/2023 - 124.6 kg
    10/07/2023 - 124 kg
    11/07/2023 - 123.7 kg
    12/07/2023 - 123.4 kg
    13/07/2023 - 122.8 kg
    14/07/2023 - 123.2 kg
    15/07/2023 - 123.6 kg
    16/07/2023 - 123 kg
    17/07/2023 - 132.2 kg
    18/07/2023 - 123.4 kg
    19/07/2023 - 123.4 kg
    20/07/2023 - 123.6 kg
    21/07/2023 - 124.4 kg
    22/07/2023 - 123.8 kg
    23/07/2023 - 126.2 kg (I think this was a typo, but not sure what it really was)
    24/07/2023 - 122.9 kg
    25/07/2023 - 122.1 kg
    26/07/2023 - 121.5 kg
    27/07/2023 - 121.8 kg
    28/07/2023 - 122.3 kg
    29/07/2023 - 122.6 kg
    30/07/2023 - 121.7 kg
    31/07/2023 - 121.6 kg
    01/08/2023 - 121.5 kg

    After dropping the ball mid-month I've worked pretty hard and very happy with what I've achieved at the end of the month.
    I have a new all-time low of 121.1 kg on the 25th of July.
    I have lost 22 kg (48.5 pounds) since I began this journey almost a year ago.

    July Reflection
    July was a challenging month for me. First, hubby retired and a change in my routine. Fortunately, he is a great support system, and it was an easier adjustment than I thought. He joins me every day for my morning walk. I also incorporated 10-minute resistance training first thing in the AM to make up for not getting a daily afternoon workout. Mid-month we had a trip to Nashville with family. I gained on the trip, but it quickly came off. I had met my 4-pound goal a few days before the end of the month, but we had/have guests staying at our house this past week and I gained a few pounds while they were/are here. They leave tomorrow so will be back to my normal routine this week and hopefully it will come off quickly. Total loss for July was only one pound – but at least not a gain – Total loss since I started this weight loss journey – just short of 40 pounds.
    I logged 209 Fitbit miles in July, 1,363 year to date. Only 659 more miles to go to meet my 2,023 in 2023 goal.
    I started a new sweater (back to knitting)- hope to be finished by Christmas. I’m making it a size smaller! I finished the Shadow and Bone series – pretty good. Started reading a classic – And Then There were None.
    The garden is producing – we have had quite a few zucchini and grape tomatoes. The beefsteak tomatoes are growing. Unfortunately, the slugs got to the broccoli and brussels sprouts, so pulled them out of the garden and planted some more tomatoes.
    Looking forward to August and what it brings. A lot of festivities, but nothing that will hinder my goals. It is my birthday soon, but just plan a quiet dinner with Hubby and Daughter. Later in the month we are renting a house on a lake in Vermont for our anniversary. But again, just hubby, Monty and me so shouldn’t be too difficult to stay on plan.

    @ddainiak Great reflections! You are one of my biggest sources of inspiration here. I know you were disappointed in yourself for the end of month weight gain because your friends were in town but I also know you know you can easily get those pounds off and it is not something you do all the time and friends dont visit every day.
    August holds a vacation for me and I havent been on vacation in 2 years so Im not going to weigh or log but Im also not going to eat a gallon of ice cream every day. I plan to put myself and my mom's relaxation first.
    We can do this. We got this. Onward.
