Hey ladies!! It's always exciting to come check in and see that new members have joined us and the pounds are coming off!! For those of you that are struggling, or haven't seen the scales move...please know that this journey is a tough one, but you are not alone!! Keep up the hard work, and don't lose that amazing motivation. The scale may not be moving, but I KNOW your body is thanking you for the changes that you are making! After all, skinnier does not mean healthier.

As for me, I don't know HOW much I weigh. My scale died. :sad: I'm not sure if it went to heaven or hell, but as of now it says I weigh "0" pounds. Occassionally I weigh "Err". I went to the manufacturers website and tried all the troubleshooting tips. No luck. My hubby went out and got new batteries today, but I still weigh "Err". :mad: So I guess I'll go out and get a new scale later this week. :explode:

Monday's give me small panic attacks for many reasons. It's the busiest day at work and waking my daughter up takes ALL of the strength that I have. Lol. I have enough stress on Monday, so I am now moving my weigh in days to Friday. Maybe that will give me time to get a new scale too :blushing:

I'm so rotten, I think I would be happy if my scale broke. LOL Seriously, I'm hoping that you can resolve your scale issue, or at least get a new one soon.

Hey ladies just checking in welcome new members!!!

Hi ladies!

Just a quick check in. I haven't made any real changes from last week. This morning 8/30/12 my weigh in was 233 pounds(down two pounds from last week--yay!) A defininte move in the right direction. I am six pounds away from my September 23 goal of 227. I think I can, I think I can.

Keep pushing ladies! We can all reach our goals.

Greetings ladies!

Time for my weekly weigh-in. It's 8/23/12 and as of this morning I weigh 235 pounds! WooHoo. :happy: Made my goal for August (236).

I've continued with the additional daily workout after stalling at 238 last week. I have been doing dvds Leslie Sansone Walk (with weights) and The Biggest Loser Cardio Max Weight-Loss (which also has some light weight/strength training) in additon to walking my dog and/or walking on the incline trainer. I have been keeping my calories close to 1200/day.

Keep pushing ladies! :flowerforyou: Be encouraged! You will achieve your goals.

Greetings--it's 8/2/12 and I just wanted to check in. I am on track so far and currently at 239 lbs. Thursday is my weigh-in day so I should be back on 8/9/12. So far, so good! Good luck everyone.

I'm in! I started my journey about a month ago with 110 pounds to lose. I am 5'4".

Hi ladies,

I have been out of the loop for over a week. I don't think I ever posted my results last week. It was a crazy week. I started this challenge at 198 and weighed 194.6 lbs on the 23rd. I'm happy with these results but think I set my monthly goals too high. That's ok. I'll keep working on it. I hope everyone is having a good week. I am ready for the weekend.

Goal #3 Oct 23: 206 lbs.
Goal #4 Nov 23: 201 lbs.
Goal #5 Dec 23: 195 lbs.

I think I am getting obsessed with the scale. I'm putting it away and not weighing again until next Friday. I didn't make my August goal but I did lose two. I need to up the cardio and watch my sodium and carbs. I know I can do this...can't get discouraged. My thly goals are within reach.

Just checking in! So I've been doing ok this week with my workouts. I've been enjoying Kickboxing at home (cable). I was also doing a 10 min cardio quickie but its been removed :mad: . I wont weigh my self until next Thursday. I really wanna try losing 5 lbs by then so Im thinking of cutting carbs and sticking to proteins until then. This morning I had a egg beater omlete and it was delicious. It was huge and since I can't eat much at once (surgery) i'm having this for lunch and probably a snack too! I think im going to up my workouts again, well go to the gym on my lunch breaks or walk around the hospital to help with the 5 lbs. I hope evevryone's week has gone good. Enjoy your LABOR Day, but not too much.

I love the name of this challenge!
SW is 194
GW is 155 (I'd like to eventually get down to the 130-140 range, but I think 60 pounds is too much to safely lose in 4 months)
Goal #1 August: 194
Goal #2 September: 185
Goal #3 October: 175
Goal #4 November: 165
Goal #5 December: 155
Good luck ladies, we can do this!!!

I am now 192, 2 pounds closer to my September weight! Uping my water intake has helped a lot over the summer months.

mstissa02

Hi Ladies,

Yesterday was the end of August and I was almost to my August goal (just 2lbs shy of it). I have lost more inches that the weight. Some days I gain weight & others I lose. The scale sometimes discourage me with the numbers, but the good thing is that my clothes are getting bigger. I am going to try and keep my goals, but just work harder to meet them. Happy Saturday!

Arwhite1865

Hey ladies!

I'm doing this!

SW in September 2012: 207
GW in December 2012: 191
Total lbs lost by December 2012: 16 lbs

September: 203
October: 199
November: 195
December: 191

I have my daily caloric intake set so that I'm consistently losing only four pounds a month. Losing slowly is the only thing that's keeping the weight off because I'm not depriving myself. I've lost 13 pounds in the last few months and I hope to make it a total of 29 by the end of the year! Good luck ladies!
