    I am loving this month's group. We have way more participants left than we did in June or July at this point in the challenge.

    I'm not doing anything different, so it must be the mini-challenges. That, or we just have an amazing group of people this month.

    Keep it up, everyone!

    @caradae I´ve noticed that too, it´s amazing, love the August group :smile:

    for me another challenge coming up next week - I´m going to Prague for a few days to visit a friend, fortunately, she´s not much of an eater, so it shouldn´t be harder than usual to stay within my budget :happy:

    I think the group size will keep increasing each month as we get more 'veterans'!

    A trip to our local Italian restaurant was my downfall last month. So I'm happy to report that I was able to eat there this week and stay under budget. Yay for staying out of the bread basket! :)

    I knew I'd be OK as long as I just ate the salad and entree :)

    This challenge has motivated me to do more, went for a swim today, haven't been swimming since my kids were small some 20+years ago.

    I'm so sad today- I got a rash from my diet! I started the Whole 30 on August 1st because I wanted to see if it would help my lupus to cut out inflammatory foods (including all that processed junk food). I think my body is going through a detox or I'm allergic to something new I've been eating :(

    @shuki_cotren I hope you feel better soon. If you can remove any new foods and then reintroduce them 1 day at a time. The next day leave that food out and try another new one and maybe you can identify it that way.
