SUMMER 2024 Weight Loss Challenge (JULY, AUGUST and SEPTEMBER) A Continuation

Hello,
I have been struggling to reach my goal weight. I am trying to build some muscle so I know that I will see my weight fluctuate (which is just annoying but I get it). My goal overall is to tone up. I just had a small foot procedure so I can’t exercise yet, however I am motivated to start. Good luck to all. Start date 7/19.

Hi All,
Can I join you for this summer?
I'm a very busy mom of five; 5'2" tall. I started at about 160 lbs after my last baby 4 years ago, and reached my goal weight last February I think. I maintained until recently. Over the past couple months I've started slacking off and eating more, and I've steadily gained; and it will continue if I don't get back on track now. Some good accountability would really help for me to not get derailed, and to get me back to where I'd like to be. I'd like to see where I am at the end of September.
STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP(MY FITNESS PAL): July 2020 at 160 lbs
YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 128.6 lbs
YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 121.0 (My ultimate goal weight, I think. My original UGW was 124-125, but I was around 120-122 for a little while and it was nice. So I'll shoot for that. If it's just unrealistic, I'll bump it up a bit.)
July 8: 128.6

YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:145
YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL:140
*I lost a bit of weight by changing my habits eating at restaurants. I only eat out if I am with others and just get one entrée, no sides.
*I quit drinking cream/sugar after 2 cups of coffee..most days
*I've been trying to eat breakfast most days, but haven't noticed any differences.
*Also, I have been eating 2 bean or legume dishes per week and not noticed any difference in my weight. This has recently morphed into eating 1-2 tofu meals per week which I do think took off a pound or 2!
JULY 1: 145
JULY 5: 145
*5 days into my "Dry July". I am pretty careful about sticking to recommended 1-2 per day and no more than 5 per week so it'll be interesting,for me, to see if I notice any differences!
JULY20: 146
"Dry July" is not helping any because I bought a fiesta pack of Jaritos and have been splitting one with my daughter almost every day or having some other cold, sugary drink!🌞😅
Aug. 3rd:148
Cutting out alcohol definitely didn't help any with weight loss! I've been craving more sweets and carbs lately. However, I have been sleeping so much better!!! I am going to try buying a better quality bottle once a month or so instead of every week because of that only.
Also, it's been rainy or too hot and humid here..so walking a lot less.
I've stopped trying to eat breakfast as that is so hard for me to stick to, but I'd like to try one month having a bit of oats, every day, in the morning to see if it makes any difference for me. Maybe for September!
Aug. 10th-146
Going to track my added sugar this week, and aim under 25 g.
Trying to figure out what small changes I can make to drop these last 10 pounds without worrying over every calorie. I have my meals logged in advance every week, usually around 1500 calories per day. (I'm short 5'2). I try to stick to the plan, but not counting calories anymore.
Wishing everyone the best with this challenge! 🌻5 -
