August Weight Loss Challenge
 

We're in the season of Leo the Lion, so let's tackle our weight loss challenges with the ferocity of lions!

Join the August 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: August Exercise Challenge

I met my goals for July so I will go for the same in August.

August goal: -4 lbs

Thanks Joy.
I was a bit absent in July but back for August
cw: 191.6
goal -2lbs

Slipping back in here after quite a while. Been stuck in the same spot for what seems like forever. Hoping to get this train moving forward again!

CW 8-1: 288.8
GW 8-31: 283.8(-5lbs)

I got below 83 kgs a couple of days ago. Let's see if I can keep it down there.

August goal: maintain below 83kgs

4: 83.05

I want in this August weight challenge.

First, congratulations again to those who made their July goals :carrot: and more congratulations to those who made a second goal, :bravo: :cp: and also, not forgetting those who did not achieve their goal but tried :cheer: most if not all of us have failed to make our goals at times. I know I have, so, keep at it and you will succeed :coach:

My goal for this month is that same 4 lbs that I tried for two months back. :shrug: for some reason, it seems to be a tough one for me.

Start 217
goal 4, for 213

I am joining in the fun! :goodvibes LOL

Well, I met my first goal in July, made a second one and now I am higher than I was at the beginning of July. I am not going to beat myself up, but move on. I know honestly I am not :ink: out at all, but I can only have 1500 calories a day to maintain my current weight. That really isn't a LOT of food so I have to stay vigilant at watching the calories. With that said, my goal is one pound for August. Congrats to MrBadger, BigFatRooster, gardenerjoy, and flower!! Keep up the good work gang!! :cheer:

I've gone entirely in the wrong direction. That's happened to me before when I set the goal as maintenance. Some part of me thinks that means I can eat anything I want, but that's not how it works!

I have met my goal and then some for August!! I won't make another goal since I am thrilled to be below 150. It's funny how our bodies work sometimes. We can plug away and hardly lose and then all of a sudden it seems it really drops! Persistence does pay off eventually.
Congrats flower1, you've really been on a roll lately! :cp:

Hang in there everyone, we've got this!

Way to go, flower1 and loganandlivsmom! How is everyone else doing as we go into the weekend?

Congrats to you flower1 for making your goal in July AND August! :cp:

I'm back in my maintenance range. That's good, but it largely came about due to a sudden loss of appetite. I tested for COVID, but it's not that. A puzzle.
