July Weight Loss Challenge
 

We're for some summer fun and weight loss.

Join the July Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group. All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

This thread is for weight loss goals. For your exercise goals, check out our sister thread: July Exercise Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I got a disappointing starting weight, but maybe that will make it easier to meet my goal this month. It was a little discouraging, so I put my last two months of scale readings in a spreadsheet. Now that I can see that the trend line tilts down, I'm more encouraged.

July goal: -1 kg, Weigh 20x

1: 89.2; 1/20

This is the month.
As long as nobody moves my scale while unpacking, I will make it!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Goal:-4.2 =180.0

7/1: 184.2
7/2: 183.8

Oh! I got an unexpectedly happy number this morning! We dealt with a 16-hour power outage yesterday. Food was weird, and not that much of it, so that helped me out some. I think I'll wait to see what happens before declaring my goal met on the third day of the month.

July goal: -1 kg, Weigh 20x

1: 89.2; 1/20
3: 87.85; 2/20
4: 88.45; 3/20

I'm blaming today's high number on muscle soreness from yard work and strength training. How is everyone else doing as we go into the weekend?

6: 88.85; 4/20
7: 89.45; 5/20

My start weight was 168.4, long term goal is 140lbs
July 8th I am 166.6
My goal for this month is to lose 6lbs

Great ❤️

I'm declaring both of my goals met for July. I don't fully believe the scale reading this morning. I had a very strange day yesterday. I think all this number is telling me is that I didn't drink enough water in all the excitement.
