    Very happy with myself. Although I may not hit my goal I still did very well and am super close. I've been eating small meals and try to have healthy snacks, been drinking at least 8 cups a day (helps keep you energized!!) and I've been doing yoga every day! I wish you all luck this week :smile:

    Hi everyone!

    It's been 5 years since I led a weight loss challenge on MFP and I am ready to do it again. This was always when I lost the most weight, felt most supported and had the most fun so let's all commit to getting ourselves fit and healthy for the summer (I am down under).
    If you want to lose 10 pounds or 5kg in August then get involved!
    One thing I do ask is that you weigh in every week - without fail. We need to commit to this and all support each other.
    We'll weigh in tomorrow (22nd July) and then every Friday until the end of August with a bonus weigh in on 31st August.

    Please copy this and and paste it into your post each week. I'll do mine in the morning!:

    Hi, can you start a similar challenge for September as well!! I would love to join!! It's a great idea and keeps everyone motivated :)

    August 31st:

    I've been sick all week, which I think contributed to those last 4 lbs. I keep weighing myself to make sure I really lost this much weight since July and I guess I really did!

    Congrats to all of you for sticking with the challenge this long! Anyone else looking forward to a September challenge ;)

    Oh boy. Yesterday morning I was 229 even; this morning I was up two lbs. Pretty sure it's water retention. Either way, it's okay. I'm still moving onward. Let's have a great week!

    Hmm, I see that you're about half a pound away from 11 and have already eradicated ten pounds since your first post. I don't see anything "bad" about it.

    August 31st:

    I really stressed myself out this month. I moved, and that always dominates everything about my life. I let it be my excuse to get fast food nearly everyday and never hit the gym, and barely any additional walking/activity outside of work. It's a miracle I didn't gain it all back!!! A bit disappointed in myself since I started SO good, but at least I still had a loss overall. Trying to get myself together for a good final push these last couple days.

    Total of 7.4 lbs down since i started this challenge (Only 2.6 lbs away from my goal!). Very pleased with that as I started late and even though it's not a huge weight loss, I can already see all the bloating that has gone down. My stomach looks slimmer and its only going to get better. I have started another challenge and will keep up with my daily yoga, making sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies and drinking at least 8 cups of water every day (actually gives you energy!!) and eating less carbs. I wish you all luck on the rest of your weight loss journey. You guys rocked! Feel free to add me on here! :smile:

    This has been a busy busy month for me. It is awesome to see I can lose weight even in the middle of my busyness (and not logging everyday :0). I probably need to lose another 10 pounds so hopefully by mid October I'll be there!!

    Bad is relative lol. I was losing 2 to 3 pounds a week and have gotten spoiled with the numbers.
