What do you want to do with your July?

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

I changed my mind about wanting to lose more weight -- it proved to be harder than I'm currently prepared to work on it. On the other hand, maintenance, for me, requires keeping the weight loss mindset, including weighing myself way more often than I did in June.

So, here's my July goal:
Maintain below 83kgs, weigh 20x

I'm pleased to start the month well below my maintenance target.

July goal: Maintain below 83kgs, weigh 20x

1: 82.35, 1/20

Oops! Time to get a bit more serious about this.

12: 82.65, 9/20
13: 82.15, 10/20

as usual but this time I am sticking with it. 5 minutes of walking per day....working my way up to 2 hours of walking per day (I used to do that as a teenager).

Just to clarify the 2hr/day goal is not for this month but is more a long term goal. For the rest of this month 5 mins/day.

Gardener joy thanks for the support last month. I just saw it today!

7/21: 7 mins
7/22: 11 mins
7/23: 6 mins
7/26: 7 mins
7/30: 3 mins

I did not meet my walking goal but i lost 7 lbs this month exceeding my weight loss expectations.

Yay, Xerai! That sounds like a doable plan to start on a long-term goal.

Thanks! I've been doing great so far.
