Hi, hope I'm in time for this week's weight post. I've been so busy and stressed at work this month and I have not been tracking at all. I'm just focussing on maintaining for this month until I'm ready to go again. Current weight 181.0

Weigh-in week: Week 1 Weigh-in day: Monday Previous week's weight: 181.2 Current weight: 181.4

July 1st exercised: busy day at work, 16k steps calories: yes tracked: yes Welcome to the newbies this month! (and hi to the returners!) :)

June 29th Exercise: was at 8.5k steps before my fitbit battery ran out. Had a few more hours left at work so I guess over 10k Calories: yes tracked: yes @eevang - well done for getting straight back on track the same day - you made a great choice to have a healthy dinner and I bet you felt much better for it today. Even…

Hi, everyone, Excited to be back for the July challenge which is my third month. I'm 54 years old, 5'6' and trying to lose about 40lbs. I was 181.2 at my last official weigh-in. I've recently added some home weight-training/bodyweight strengthening exercise. My goal this month is to be more consistent with staying under…

weigh-in week 5 weigh day: Tuesday last week: 181.6 this week: 181.2 See you in July!

@craigo3154 Happy Birthday big 5-0! Sounds like you had a great day! June 24 Exercise - busy day at work 15k steps calories - yes tracked - yes

June 22 Exercise - yes 15k steps calories - yes tracked - yes

June 21 Exercise: no, was exhausted so had a rest day Calories: yes Tracked: yes

weigh-in week 3 weigh day: Tuesday last week: 181.4 this week: 181.6 We had friends visit for the past week for my birthday so had lots of meals out, etc. Despite not tracking calories all week, I'm relieved to find my weight stayed steady. I did always try to make healthier choices and not overeat. I was also very busy…

@brunchowl - I know what you mean about bouncing around between two numbers. It's so frustrating. Let's hope the downward trend continues for both of us and we can break through by the end of this month! I'd like to see the 170's! x

@brunchowl in my book, a 1.6 loss is a whoosh! Well done!

weigh-in week 3 weigh day: Tuesday last week: 182.8 this week: 181.4 whoo-hoo! :)

June 8 Exercise yes 45 minute walk, core and daily challenge. Busy day 21000 steps Calories Yes, under Tracking yes

June 7 Exercise: core and daily challenge. 10000 steps Calories: Yes, under goal Tracked: Yes @craigo3154 thank you for the advice. I will be very careful this week to hang on to my loss.

Weigh-in week: Week 2 Weigh-in day: Tuesday Previous week's weight: 186.0 Current weight: 182.8 I haven't been good at tracking over the last week but tried to make good choices however. Must get back to logging and tracking this week as I don't want to bounce back up. Mustn't let complacency creep in. Starting a core…

May 29 exercise: 45 minute brisk walk plus busy work day = over 19k steps calories: yes, under goal tracked: yes Felt like I had a good day yesterday. Sneaky peek at the scales this morning revealed a good whoosh, so if I can hold on to half of that this week I'll be very pleased.

May 28 exercise - no, rest day Calories - no, about 550 over goal due to a last-minute decision to eat out after work last night tracked - yes Weigh-in week: Week 1 Weigh-in day: Tuesday Previous week's weight: 184.6 Current weight: 186 Feeling a bit off this morning, bloated due to a late night meal after work last night.…

@LesIckaBod - what a great start to the month! You are doing so well. :smiley:

Hi, all. I'm back for my second month and hope to do better this time after a shaky finish to May. I'm almost 54 years old, 5'6' and trying to lose 40lbs. My goal this month is to be more consistent with staying under calorie goal and getting into the daily habit of strength exercising. I love to walk and have lovely…

May 25 exercise: 13000 + steps calories - not under goal, but maintenance tracked - yes @craigo3154 is it OK if I change my weigh-in day to Tuesday for the June challenge, please?

24th May exercise - 9000steps calories - yes tracked - yes

May 22 Exercise: yes - 6km walk plus daily challenge. Busy day,over 23K steps Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes

Weigh-in week: Week 4 Weigh-in day: Monday Previous week's weight: 184.8 Current weight: 184.6 My fellow Monday weighers, @LesIckaBod , @eevang, @westray16 @brunchowl Well done to such great losses this week! For me, it's been a very difficult last 10 days, diet and exercise-wise. But now all my visitors have left and I am…

Sorry, I haven't been good at checking in all week, or tracking. I've been so busy with work as well as entertaining visitors, eating out and partying a bit too hard. I have been walking everyday and I've logged in estimated calories for the day - but that's a minefield! It will all settle down after the weekend so I will…

@craigo3154 Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. May 14th Exercise: 25 minute walk, over 10,000 steps total Calories: yes Tracked: yes @eevang I don't go to the gym or use machines, so all my calories burned from exercise come from my linked fitbit account, which is mainly step-based. But I think it does…

Week 3 weigh-in, Monday. Last week: 184 This week: 184.8 I don't know. I expected a small loss, not a gain. I had 2 days where I was about 500 over maintenance but my overall deficit for the week was about -2500. Unless my fitbit is seriously overestimating my calorie burn. One positive to take from the weigh-in was my…

Good to see such great losses from lots of you this week! Wow, pressure is on for my weigh-in on Monday ;) Trying hard to stay on track but I've been busy entertaining all week. No big disasters, though, food wise. May 11th Exercise: yes. Had a lovely 30 minute stroll with my (very active) 84year old mum through the…

That was a great read @craigo3154 Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was particularly interested to read this part as that hadn't occurred to me before.
