    🎠🎠🎠🎠🎠07/01 –188.8 βœ… (Trend Weight – 190.4) Well I was certainly hoping for a bigger drop than 0.2 but I guess slow progress is still progress. It was a very good dietary day filled with good choices and I worked out on the bike for 30 minutes (2 sessions of 15 minutes). Intentional exercise is something I really need to keep working in. Today is my son that lives at home and my first DGS’s birthdays. We will be going out to dinner out of town tonight. Dinner won’t be until about 7:30. I’ve been sticking to my guns and carefully choosing what I’m eating this afternoon. My son is turning 29 and my grandson 19.Good luck everyone this round. Thanks for sharing your journeys with me. Welcome to all the new friends joining us.

    Hi everyone

    July Goal Weight (lbs.): 155 or below. (I'dΒ reallyΒ likeΒ to be closer to 150, but I'm not sure I can do that because I have regained more weight than I expected over the past couple of weeks.)

    Ultimate Goal Weight (lbs.): 139 or below (for BMI under 25). I'm aiming to get there by New Year's Eve.

    July 02: 162.8 (Going forward, I will post weigh-ins to date with scale app stats and scale picture as of the most recent weigh-in. On July 31st I will post side-by-side before/after stats and scale pic. I forgot to include my key measurements: (bust, waist, hips and "pot") but I will post them tomorrow and each week following, with final July measurements on July 31st.

    Key Measurements as of 7/4:

    42"-38"-40"-45" (B,W,H,P)

    Scale is up today but I had a heavy meal with alcoholic beverages late last night; so I assume I should clear most that over the next few days.

    Today I declared my "Independence from Alcohol"! I've tried this before, but this time, I'm going to make it stick! Empty calories? NO nutrition? Negative impact on blood pressure and other health measurements? Expensive? Who needs it? Not me! This one small change should make consistently losing one or more pounds per week much easier. So here I go!

    Have a GREAT 4th of July weekend!

    Happy Independence day for those who celebrate. I was a little disappointed in myself today. It's my birthday also and my daughter-in-law made a cake. I couldn't say no. She gave me the whole cake and made one for my grandson whose birthday is today also. I am shaking the feeling and ready to continue on. I hope everyone is enjoying the day and will have a happy 4th evening.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @D_Jay_74!πŸŽ‰πŸŽˆπŸŽ‚ How cool is that, to have your birthday on the 4th of July and having your grandson born on the same day? (Love the picture of you and Brandon!) It's okay if you had cake on your special day - you can make up for that over the next week.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.

    July 2 (Starting Weight for this challenge): 154.6 (10-day average 154.6)
    July goal: Get below the top of maintenance weight range (153 pounds)
    Ultimate goal: Stay in maintenance range between (absolutely 140 - 153 and ideally 142-148)

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.

    Total loss for July: I was gone for a few weeks rafting the Alsek River through southern Yukon Territory, northern British Columbia, and Alaska. It was stunning. I gained a few pounds while I was away. We had far more food than we needed, and we burned all the leftovers in the fire. I sustained an injury, so I couldn't row off the calories. I still did chores. Now back to the grind. I was away from my scale from 14 June 14 until 2 July. Oddly, my weight appears unchanged from mid-June, but that is an artifact of how my averaging works; I gained a few pounds.

    I'm now down 2.6 pounds for the year.

    Keep sticking to it.

    A great week. I have managed to stay clear of the nuts in the break room.

    Not eaten over my calories once this week. Fitbit and mfp numbers have me calculating I should have lost 0.8 kg

    But as suspected I must have carried massive amounts of water. So I have lost 2.9 kg. Which of course gives me a nice mental boost. But also means I must be careful of getting complacent or disappointed when next week doesn't go as well.

    πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯ 07/06-DNW πŸ’  - (Trend Weight: DNW) Our BBQ celebration for Independence Day was a day late (yesterday) but not a dollar short, as they say. Plenty of food. Too much sitting. Someone should have brought the corn hole game! I need at least a one day buffer from the scale so I may come back in a day or two when the dust settles and see where I am really at. I know it will be an increase no matter what. Afterall, I can feel the tightness in my shorts. But hopefully it will be something that doesn’t stick around too long. I will strive for today to be extra good so I’ll be off to a good start. DD and DGS left early today so that will help for sure. I will also try to get in some exercise. Rain today so it will all be indoors.

    I hope July goes better than June as far as mobility. I had major knee and back pain issues in June and my walking etc was very limited. Now things are more normal and I hope to get out and move more. I have 8 lbs left to my goal wt which will be -73 lbs when I get there in hopefully late august. My goal for July is -1.0 lb per week. Have a great month everyone.Β

    Total loss for July: Checking in early before Oregon Country Fair. I will likely gain weight at Fair, and I'm already off to a good start this month - I am up 0.7 pounds. Grrr. Still thinking about wild rivers in the Yukon, BC, and Alaska....

    I'm now down 1.9 pounds for the year.

    Keep sticking to it.
