    July 8th: 162
    July 15th:160

    July 29th: 155


    OMG I bet I could fly if I tried to today! So happy, I have been working really really hard and I am stoked that I am losing this fast. I have been walking/jogging 7 miles a day and it is so paying off.

    I gotta run but I will read the other posts later and touch base with everyone.
    :flowerforyou: Love you all, hope your scale was as nice as mine was today.

    3 lbs!!! :love: Way to go, Jenn! Almost to the 140's!!

    7/31:

    I decided to wait an extra day to weigh in due to an 11mile bike ride Thursday! What the heck was I thinking?! LOL! I was exhausted too, I got home from work yesterday at 8a and by 9:30a, I was dozing off. And I continued to do so until 1:30p! But I feel well rested today, so that's a plus! Was suppose to have my brother in laws engagement party today, but they decided to move it 2 weeks from today due to rain chances. So I get to play dress up in a few weeks :) Yay!! Also, my 26th birthday is this coming Thursday, no real plans except going to lunch with my parents and dinner with my hubby, however, next Saturday, we're having a bbq with a keg (not for me as I don't like beer, go figure, my party and they get a keg...) and playing in the pool all day/night. Can't wait!!!

    Hope you all have a nice weekend!!!

    Hi all I haven't lost since mid month so my low is 2.2 pounds loss for the month. If I don't lose more soon then I guess I am still in my platea despite my net loss of a half a pound.
    SW 7/01 - 235
    CW 7/08 - 234.6
    7/15 - 233.4 (my previous low for May)
    7/20 - 232.8
    7/22 GW - 231 didn't make
    7/29 - GW - 230 didn't make

    Hope others did better than I did. I have been exercising 6-7 days a week and each week I increase the minutes I run since I am doing C25K. I am staying under my calorie goal, eating most of my exercise calories and eating healthier and healthier each week. I have my goal set to 1.5 pounds weight loss a week. This week has been a bit hard since there has been a family crisis. Congratulations on all those who met their goal on this challenge. If I lose anything tomorrow I will let you know.

    So, I didn't realize today was the 30th and there's only one day left, so, my final weigh in for the month was today and I lost a total of 5.1999999999999(lol).

    Great job to those who lost a little or a lot and same to those who maintained or even may have gained a little. This journey is a process and it's gonna have it's ups and downs. See ya all next month!!!

    Hello everyone, I am checking in today to keep myself accountable and try and work up some motivation. I know that I am due for a workout today and I am having a really hard time inspiring myself to do it. And although my eating has been on point so far today, i am craving chocolate and cookies. Trying to push past it and keep in mind our final weigh in tomorrow! Usually I do terribly on the weekends, so hard to break the habit.

    7/8 - 211.4 lbs :-))

    7/22 - 209.4 lbs
    7/29 - 206.6 lbs
    7/31 - 204.8

    I've lost 7.2 lbs, so I have officially met my 5 lb goal for the month :-) This month I...

    Fit into a pair of pants I've never been able to wear.
    Tried on my wedding dress and it was too big!!
    Am at a weight that my husband has never seen me at.
    Wore a strapless dress and actually felt sexy and not so self conscious about my fat arms, because they're shrinking :-)

    :-) I hope everyone is doing well, I know I don't check in too much (just once a week) but I know you're all doing great and pushing hard to meet your goals!! Keep it up, you're all beautiful!!


    Final weight 204.8
    Total weight loss for July 9.0lbs

    I can live with that :-)

I read through the posts and there are some great losses and stories. Keep up the good work everyone and I'll see you in the August challenge. Have a good day and stay cool. I'm off to work:yawn:

    Well I did not see a loss this month but I had a tough time early on and I seemed to be fighting that weight increase all month! Its not over for me! I'm on track this weekend (which is usually the hardest part of the week for me) and I am setting my August goals.

    Congrats to the losers! And to the gainers, like me, dont give up! Its a new month/week/day!

    Sorry everyone, its been a crazy weekend so for the important information .....here is the link for August

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/304807-lose-5-pounds-a-month-august-2011-challenge

    Hope to see everyone there!

    We took the kids to the grandparents on Friday. They are gone the whole week...so we went out for dinner 2x already. I was up 2 pounds this morning. Hopefully it was the salt in last nights dinner. So no loss this month in fact in was a 2 pound gain this month:mad:

    Hopefully next month will be great...no injuries and lots of healthy eating and excercise.

    See you all in August.
