    @jugar if any of the team members throughout f2f have apple watches could we do a f2f sept. Apple Watch challenge? I joined a random one of mfp and it really helped keep me accountable.
    I know we have some fitbit people, but never asked about Apple Watch. I'll check! What do they track - would other devices be compatible?

    August reflections:
    - Maintained weight (technically down 0.1 pounds from the 1st to the 31st but this a maintain). Still about 13 pounds from goal of 150 pounds and this is the first time I have maintained since I started losing about a year ago. I am feeling very happy with my current size and shape and energy level, etc - so maybe feeling less motivated? I am not quite sure. I was snaking more in the evening but have cut this back to my normal routine night snack. I am still eating a bit more than usual overall (obviously). I plan to lose the last bit very slowly and so will have to tweak things slightly to see what ends up working for me. I am not interested in making major moves to get this last 10-15 pounds off - just small tweaks to try to get slowly towards a "normal" BMI.
    - Bought new scrubs finally. I was looking a bit like a clown in the ones I have had since 65 pounds ago! The new ones are size M and fit nice.
    - Bought "my" jeans (the same brand I have been wearing for many years) in a size 10 last week. The 14's fall off and the 12's are baggy. So I am on to a pair of 10's. I was wearing 16 for many many years (before I got up to 20 with the acute weight gain 2 years ago) - so this is definitely the smallest I have been in a decade or more.
    - Bought two new pairs of shoes in a size smaller than what I have been wearing and they fit much better. I guess I just got used to my shoes being bit like all my clothes.
    - Started taking some yoga classes at a new nearby yoga studio since I have been having a hard time driving the 1 hour round trip since I moved to the old studio. I am getting more used to the new place and still go to the "old" place about once a week. Glad to find something closer (easier to get to).
    - Settled in to the new house much better - though still quite a bit of unpacking and organizing I need to do in the basement and the garage area.

    September plans:
    - Continue to attend my yoga classes 2-3 times a week
    - Get out with the dog and walks again now that the cooler weather is starting to set in; fall is my most favorite time to be outside walking / hiking.
    - Continue to keep my food routines and try to cut back here and there when I can to attempt to get the 0.5 pound per week weight loss I hope for. I may need to start counting calories again strictly to make this happen but not going to do that quite yet. Will try another month and monitor.
    - Try to lose 2 pound in September. Would actually like to get to the 150's (which is 2.5 pounds) just for the milestone : )
    - Continue to follow this group and try to post more now that things are settling with my move and selling the prior house and getting all the kids back to school for the fall.

    Good evening crew!!
    As you know, your Captain, Cyndie has had to step away for family issues. Pam needs a Co Captain. If you are interested in stepping up and assisting with the leadership of the team, please reach out to Pam or one of the Mods.

    I promise, it does not take hours a day... more like minutes.

    Please consider assisting Pam and your team!!

    @kirsten11872 Nice loss! Enjoy your weekend!
    @ihp2015 I can't believe August is over either! As you said, maintaining is better than gaining!
    @GingerPwr I am with you! Let's have a great September! I do need a starting weight from you.
    @phoebe112476 I love your reflections and goals for September. I still can't wrap my head around all that you have gone through and accomplished in the past year or so. You really are inspiring! I wasn't even thinking about the move and that the yoga studio you like being farther away. I am glad you like the new place.

    Your weigh in day is currently Wednesday - you can stick with that or change, so just post on the September thread and @sleepymom will let me know if you want to change it. Good luck!

    Had so much fun yesterday. I’m pretty tired this morning. Skylynn and I just made whole wheat strawberry pancakes. Molly and I trying to psych ourselves up for a 10 mile bike ride. Happy September!

    Sorry this did not make it into the tallies, but I'll correct your weight for going into September! Try to weigh in Saturdays so I don't miss you when putting together the week's numbers. I do it early in the morning on Sundays. Thanks!!!
