    @cmhubbard92 Very nice trend overall. Even though September started out rough, you’ve made up for it and then some. Keep up the good work - you really are an inspiration.

    @pkg1998 thank you so much. I'm really glad that I have *somehow* kept my motivation going!

    @cmhubbard92 I have no idea muy water or steps for today so please enter a 0 for both.

    @swauters, I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Sara. A cat is not just a pet, but a beloved member of the family. Sending you many hugs.

    I’d be interested to know how people chose their target weights? I’ve adjusted mine several times now. I think 125lbs ago I just couldn’t imagine being this small (I weigh what I did age 11 now). So for me, I’m tiny. However my BMI is still in the overweight range and I love for the first time to break into that “normal” range.

    @lozenger1984, my target weight is one I have been at before, (and not that long ago), so I know how I look and feel at that number.

    Sorry everyone for suddenly disappearing on you there in the middle. I ended with a forced hospitalization. The police told me I could go voluntarily with EMS or I could go involuntarily with cuffs in the back of the squad car and be placed on a mandatory hold. You can guess which one I chose. That was a Saturday night at about 9 pm, I was released about two weeks later. In some ways better. Also, I have now had my surgery on my wrist and elbow. I already have some feeling back in the other half of my left hand. Still a three months recovery time, but nice to know it's helping already. I do plan to sign back up for next month.

    You guys have all been doing so fantastic this month. I'm so proud of you all sticking it through come what may!
    @swauters - I am so sorry to hear about your cat's death. I know how hard that is, but definitely allow yourself to grieve. Our pets are members of our family too.

    @dymphnadaniels, it's good to hear that you came out the other side of this feeling better in some ways and that your surgery went well. If you do want to sign up again for next month, the registration thread for October is open.

    The October thread is up and running.

    @cmhubbard92, did you want to post something about the water and step challenges before the new members start posting their intros? Or, if you like, I can post a brief intro of these challenges and then you can give them more details later?

    Results for September Week #3

    We did it team!! We finally had a REALLY good team week!! WE came FIRST overall with a team loss of 0.75% (0.17% for second place!) In other words, it wasn't even close!!

    Individually we had our very own @mirendybryant come in as the second overall biggest loser of the week with a loss of 2.33%, just 0.06% out of first!! Congratulations, Mandy, on a fantastic week!!

    To come in first place as a team, we obviously had to have many great losses!!

    The TOP NINE Big Butts, losing over 1% of their body weight were:

    @mirendybryant - 2.33%


    @stubbornloser - 1.88%
    @energyseeker - 1.67%
    @Ar_cervantes - 1.41%
    @cossmoss15 - 1.27%
    @annabananamc - 1.20%
    @Audgiebug - 1.14%
    @lozenger1984 - 1.10%
    @heaz10 - 1.04%

    The next six Big Butts, losing over 0.5% of their body weight were:

    @Coral333 - 0.96%
    @swauters - 0.88%
    @Caronell - 0.81%
    @murdog3t - 0.79%
    @cmhubbard92 - 0.78%
    @abowersgirl - 0.71%

    Actually, most of the team lost weight last week, (there were only three of us who didn't)! Congratulations, team TBBT, for absolutely owning the third week of September!!

    Sitting in jury duty today. Been on my butt for hours now. I did bring protein bars so I wouldn’t have to walk over to fast food on lunch. Going to hit the gym once they let us go so my body actually gets movement today

    @cmhubbard92 My steps for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday were (10,779, 5,227, 4,850, and 4,481. Not good I know.

    Friday water was 72 oz. and I didn't track the rest of the days. This week is going to be not good but I will track my steps and do better next week.

    @cmhubbard92: so sorry for the confusion. I'm no where near 200, lol. I looked at how I worded that response to a member's question about how we selected our target weight, and the confusion is from me with my phrasing. hahahhaha Thanks tho for your congrats!!

    Tracked, 11, 173 steps thus far but the night is young, and at. Non-scale victory: eating at Subway's and choosing no chips and water over the lemonade. It's these small steps for me that help shift my mindset and relationship to hunger and stuffing myself.

    @ForLangston I've now confused myself even further by trying to reread your previous comment :lol: my day has been long, and I need to go to bed :tired_face:

    Subway is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love their tuna and add bacon toasted with swiss cheese on that italian herb and cheese bread. I only get it every couple or months because I will go crazy and eat the whole thing :neutral:

    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: yes
    Steps: 11,114(currently)
    Water: 106.7

    My steps would have been higher if both dogs didnt wrap their leashes around me as they pulled me into a lovely crack in the road. Lovely scrape on my knee, and taking tylenol before I go to sleep in case I did something to my ankle 😐

    10418 steps just ran around the house, in place, and jogged on rebounder for 45 minutes to get 10000 steps. Wet with sweat now. Time to relax and drink some water. Should sleep well tonight.
