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.

09/23-193.8-(Trend Weight: 193.6)- It has been a week of extra weight due to travel which I am slowly working back down. I hope to string some good days together this week and make a dent in my goals. Doing some yard work will help keep me moving. So many leaves already! I’ve just got to watch the diet, specifically the night time snacks especially if I have a good daily calorie burn as it tends to bring out the hunger monsters. But I’m going to stay positive and say, “180’s, HERE I COME!”.

Challenge final weight:
I’m going to have surgery this week so I expect my weight to go back up for a while, due to post-op swelling. Also, I will be aiming for weight maintenance, rather than weight loss, for the duration of my recovery. But I’m definitely counting this month as a win 😁

YOUR CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE:206.8
YOUR CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: 7 I don’t know about this goal. I’m having a total knee replacement on July 17.
July 1: 206.8
July 8: 206.8 Well as odd as it sounds I am happy with this weight. I have been up all week and decided yesterday that I need to get back on track. My goal of losing weight before my knee surgery unfortunately is not going to happen. I really struggle with weight loss especially in the summer when there are lots of extra good things to eat. Total knee replacement is on July 17 and I am traveling this weekend again to see friends.

August 19: 199.8 So I've been off of here for awhile. I had total knee replacement on July 17 and have been focused on that for the last month. I did fill in the numbers that I had written down but not on here. My goal is to keep this weight down. I have several more weeks of PT and I'm still walking with a cane when I'm out and about. I'm so glad surgery is over and now I hopefully will be able to do more physical things.

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.
Aug. 20th- 144
Didn't count sugar grams over the weekend, but think I stayed under 35 g. Under 25g is so difficult for me! I am going to try to stay under 35g, at least, which is less than 10% of my daily calories.
Aug. 30- Hangin' in there @ 144lbs😅
September 7th-142 Not sure how I lost a few pounds, but I have been walking a bit more since it's not upper 90°s this week. Also, l reduced my work hours to 28 instead of 40! & reduced grocery bill to match my income. 😬
September 17th: 144
September 26th: 141 I'm hoping my scale isn't broken 😅
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 -

REFLECTIONS: reached the end of the 3-month challenge this morning with a total loss of 17.1 pounds (7% of my starting weight). Seeing only subtle changes to far, but as a 5'11" person, more noticeable changes will likely come at the 6-month mark. Proud of myself for sticking with it for a full 3 months, exercising consistently and logging honestly. Focusing on progress, not perfection. Now, on to the Fall challenge!7 -

I hope to string some good days together this week and make a dent in my goals. Doing some yard work will help keep me moving. So many leaves already! I’ve just got to watch the diet, specifically the night time snacks especially if I have a good daily calorie burn as it tends to bring out the hunger monsters. But I’m going to stay positive and say, “180’s, HERE I COME!”.
09/30-193.6-(Trend Weight: 193.8)- I should have fared better this week. My DD and DGS were here extra this week and she always brings her totes full of temptations. I need to work on saying No more often. No one to blame but myself. I am going to work very hard at making October a banner month! There, I said it. I put it out there in the Universe, now to make it happen! See you in October my friends.
