    Well done everyone!!

    I'm posting in a week (august 14-15). I started this late, so I guess posting mid month and reaching out to every one again will serve as a reminder of the half way mark and and remind everyone to keep staying strong and keep getting into the shape you want!

    I totally forgot to post for August! Everyone who has posted looks fantastic!!! I think I looked better in mid- to late-July than I do now, but whatever. I'm sure there has to be some difference, bc I have lost since then. Will post soon.

    Do it whenever you want to I guess. I would have done it August 16-17 (my one month mark), but I want to lose 2 more pounds to show a difference.

    I may take my pics in a few days! Cross your fingers for a 2 pound loss that I'm working on!!

    Okay, So I'm going to wait until Sept 1 to take more pics.

    I did manage to lose a few more pounds, but since Sept 1 is a week away, I'll just restart my picture taking on the first of the month.

    I will also be doing a colon cleanse next week so that should flatten my tummy more.

    SO EXCITED TO SEE NEW PICS!!!!!

    So I'm a bit late with the August pics, I've been away for 5 weeks, havn't lost anything but not gained either and cant see much change except for colour. Hard work coming for Sept pics! Well done to the rest, looking good!

    I get what you mean, even though I think I was down 3lbs and a 1/2" of both waist and hips in August from the July pic, the July pic still looks a million times better for some reason and I'm still using it as my avatar. Maybe like Cornock said, it's that I had better coloring/tan plus perhaps lighting, IDK.

    I'm just over 2wks post-op from "mommy makeover" surgery. I've actually already posted a bikini pic in another thread here at just 9 days post-op when the swelling was far worse (+3.8lbs & almost 3" between ribcage and waist, eek!), but as you can see in my siggie, I've kept track of my stats from that quite well and I'm down to almost NO swelling (+0.6lb & just +1/2" on waist, yay!) and was cleared to switch from Tylenol to Motrin yesterday so that should really help nix the last of it :) so I'm pretty sure I'll participate on Sept. 1st. Fair warning though, I've probably lost a little bit of muscle tone especially where the tummy tuck swelling camouflages my (newly repaired) abs and because I went with dual-plane/partially under muscle implant placement, the girls will be riding a little high until those muscles relax and they drop to their more natural and permanent position.

    Less than a week everyone!!!! :D

    CORRECTION:

    I meant to say " I lost the weight I wanted to lose FOR AUGUST "

    I'm not nearly at goal yet!
    But I made my August Mini goal (somewhat).

    Okay, forgive me for jumping the gun here, but I have WAY too much stuff I gotta get done tomorrow to be able to take the pics then and do all the editing so everyone can see them together. But I did literally just took these this a.m. and edited after I got back from the gym.

    Uh, yeah... "Mommy Makeover" surgery 19 days ago; (1.) full abdominoplasty/"tummy tuck" with muscle repair, (2.) only about 20-30cc of lipo to the flanks/"back part of the 'muffin top' area" (otherwise my surgeon says it looks "odd" without it) that's all he could find at my 19% bodyfat, YAY! and (3.) Silicone implants to take me from a 34B to a 34D (I was naturally a perky 34B before kids, but each pregnancy and breastfeeding took me up to a natural D-cup, so I still had the *space* for them, just not the *filling* anymore, lol).

    Between my August 1st pics and my surgery on the 12th, I went from 153.0lbs to 151.0lbs!! I of course gained quite a bit of water/swelling weight from the surgery but have fully recovered swelling-wise in both weight and inches since :D I'm currently weighing in at 153.6; 2.6lbs of that are my new silicone assets, so I'm technically back to my pre-op weight! Started easing back into my gym routine two days ago and simply maintained my pre-op net calorie setting while I was taking it easy.

    Keep in mind my new assets have another month or two to "relax & drop" into a more natural position and once I'm cleared for ab/core work at the gym, I'll regain my ab-definition. I'm THRILLED with the results thus far, just impatient to see my final results which can take up to another 5 and a half months...
