    Wow you've done a great job this month. Do you mind me asking which method you're using to drop the weight?? Calorie counting & exercise?? I don't think I've seen a weekly drop like yours. Amazing job!! Keep up the great work.

    I don't think I've seen a weekly drop like yours.

    FYI that was 10 days, not a week. Still an amazing amount of progress in such a short time, obviously! But I did a double take too because I thought it was a week, and then I saw the dates.

    Hi folks - I"ll open up September's thread and link it here momentarily. I'm about to head out for about 2.5 weeks of travel where I won't have a scale and perhaps no internet for part of the time so I wanted to make sure there was a thread for the new month ready to go. I'll see you over there mid-September!

    I might not get to goal this month, but I will push as hard as I can until the 31st. Mid-August, I did get sick with Covid, and that caused a slow down with the progress. So, all I'm saying is that life happens that will derail/ slow down the progress, but as long as I stick to it, progress will come. Will work very hard the next four days to get as close to the 179.8 as I can (really hoping for a major whoosh)

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2

    August 12: 149.2 (10-day average 150.2)

    September 2:

    Total loss for August Looks like I bounced back up a bit, but no big deal. Still down about 1.6 pounds for the month. I see from last week's post I actually expected to pop up from the catered meals on the event a couple weeks ago. This trip we cooked our own meals, so it wasn't over the top. I got to row four days carrying everything for our group of four (my raft plus three kayaks).

    Hello again!
    I am Ana, 39 years old. 5'5" reaching out from Greece...

    Last two years I gained approximately 40 pounds (20kgr)..
    Tried drastic measures to get back to track, but to no avail... So I am now taking it one day at a time, with baby steps and learning to set realistic goals! Trying to make it a lifestyle choice, rather than a punishment !!

    August Start Weight: 175 lbs (79.4 kgr)
    August Goal Weight: 164 lbs (74.6 kgr) Adjusted after the first week...
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 125lbs (57kgr)

    August 1: 175 lbs (79.4 kgr)

    August 7: Posted today since tommorow will be off grid! 173.2 lbs (78.6kgr) A bit slower than I wanted.. I have concluded that I need to majorly adjust my goals, ( Ξ™ already made a change in my August Goal weight) or make huge changes for food and activity.. I find that as I get older, just food moderation, no longer works.. So consistently exercising seems to be the only way... Next week will show!

    August 16: 172.4 lbs (78.2 kgr) I am very happy with this number, since I was on vacation the last 5 days, with no scale, and not much restriction on food! Back on schedule, I hope next week reflects that!

    August 22: 172.4 lbs (78.2 kgr) I thought it would be lower, but I will keep expecting for the drop... At the past I would be so frustrated, I would go drown my sorrows on ice cream, nuggets, or burgers.. Now I am just waiting for my body to start responding! A week to go!


    August 29 170.6 lbs (77.4 kgr) Very happy with the weekly loss of almost 2 pounds! two days to go to conclude the month!! Thank you @enlightenme3 for setting up September and I hope you have a great time!

    @justanotherjen13 Ten days ten pounds impressive! Congrats and Keep up!!!! :smiley:
