πππ***August 2025 WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE***πππ
Happy International Beer Day (first Friday in August) and International Peace Month around the world and National Goat Cheese Month and National Panini Month, at least in the Estados Unidos.
@enlightenme3Β is still traveling, so I'm posting this month's challenge again.
π Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. π
I joined MFP in February 2018. I had been trying on and off to lose some extra weight. MFP gave me the tools I needed to lose 30 pounds, and I have tried to keep it off since then. I've mostly been successful, but there for sure have been times when I slid back. Only continued vigilance will work to be successful, and fortunately that's possible! It can be nice to have short- and medium-term goal to break down a larger goal into more manageable chunks. So a monthly challenge with a weekly check-in is GREAT. I've been contributing to this challenge for several years, and withΒ @enlightenme3Β temporarily away, I'll try to keep it running.
Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.
You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress betterπ. I'm setting this month up for Saturday check-in. Do what works best forΒ YOU!
Pick whatever unit suits you -- pounds, kilograms, stones, or even Newtons.
Feel free to copy & paste the chart:

For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input: When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.
Itβs not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!π
Best of luck to everyone - have fun! ππ

But weight loss has a mind of itβs own so going up 3.8 lbs quickly and trickling back down slowly is what Iβll have to accept and work on. My lowest weight this past week was 185.0. Iβm on my way back down, and thatβs a promise Iβve made to myself that I intend to keep. Good luck in August, my friends.

September 6:Total loss for August: Not a good way to start the month - I am up 0.7 pounds. At least I'm down 1.8 pounds for the year. Not much, but it's a little bit consoling that I'm not up for the year as well as the week and the past month.
Keep sticking to it.
