My goal is to lose 20 pounds per month, (under doctor supervision currently to avoid surgery for weight loss), so I hope September is a repeat of August! We will all be dieting through the Holidays.
Stay strong! Thanks everyone for the awesome motivation.
BTL: AWESOME JOB!!!! How exciting to reach that goal! I am MORE than sure that you will accomplish your Sept goals! Keep it up! :drinker:0 -

I am so pumped to see everyone meeting their goals and for dward for his 100 lbs lost! That deserves a big celebration to which I would yell and clap but I have no voice today!
I am so glad to be apart of this amazing group!0 -

Well I had secretly hoped for 20 pounds list this month and only got to 19. I did manage to exceed my goal, so I can't be mad about that!!
I love seeing all the amazing successes! Y'all are rockin' it!
Needless to say, I vote for a new September thread so we can keep this party rockin'!

Two weeks ago...322
THIS MORNING....315! I hit 60 pounds down on my 60th day of logging!
The other numbers on the bodyfat analysis were a bit...odd...it showed a massive upswing in total body water and a massive downswing in fat mass--however, I am not convinced this is the actual case. (See: Trending)
But weight loss is weight loss, and I FEEL WONDERFUL!
Thank you to EVERYBODY in our group...but an extra shout out to our little inner circle of regular posters and players who make this adventure more fun than I could ever have imagined. (You know who you are...)
I am the luckiest boy in the world!0 -

I still have .8 lbs to lose, and I am going to make it because this is an August challenge and not a August 29th challenge. I will be weighing in for the final verdict on Sunday morning September 1. And I'll be able to update my ticker! (I only do it on Sundays).0 -
So many big achievements
Demarii: I know how you feel I am .9 away and I am sure that between now and Sunday I will see that as well!!!! Your doing fantastic!0 -

Week3: 8/16/13 = Didn't Weigh
Week4: 8/23/13 = 299.4
Week5: 8/30/13 = 288.0 <--- This really worries me!
I also posted this as a comment on my check-in status update on my home page but I will post it here to see what everyone thinks...
I'm unsure why the number is so high! I'm happy but a little worried. I have just gotten back into the diet and exercise thing seriously so maybe my body is just in shock and I hope that once I get used to things, the weight loss will go down to normal levels. But I have definitely not been starving myself and this is with practically no exercise. Please check out my diary and let me know what you guys and girls think...0 -

I feel the same way, Demarii. My final weigh-in for August will be on the morning of Sep. 1 too. I know you'll get it and then some!0 -
Bird: it is common for your to have a big jump start if it continues you should check in with your doctor but I think initially it is acceptable! When you change your eating habits your body cleanses itself and dumps the junk! Your doing great keep it up!0

Givens, Holly and Demaril - I am routing for your losses for your September 1st weigh-in!! I can't wait to see that you ALL made your goals!!! YOU CAN DO IT!! It's great motivation to stay on track this weekend!

OK, I made the big scene in the September sign in, but I have to congratulate you again. You have done an outstanding job, PLUS being half way home.
I'm not a big hugger, but please go find someone to give you a HUGE hug!
You are a winner at being a loser! (meant in the best possible way.)0 -
August Goal: 321 lb
Weigh-ins:
Week 1: 08/01/2013 - 335.8 lb
Week 2: 08/08/2013 - 335.8 lb
Week 3: 08/15/2013 - 330.4 lb
Week 4: 08/22/2013 - 328.8 lb
Week 5: 08/29/2013 - 325.5 lb
Final: 09/01/2013 - 324.8 lb
I didn't quite reach my goal, but 11 pounds is 11 pounds. My big mistake was basing my goal on last month's performance, where I had "first month" weight loss going for me. I will set a difficult, but more realistic goal for next month, and then I will reach that goal.
Congrats again to everyone who reached their goals for this month, especially dward and demarii! You big losers!0
