    Good morning, weigh-in day for me. This morning I weighed 217.2lbs...down 1.8. Very happy with this number. It's been very slow for me but I know that's the way it should be for successful permanent weight loss. I will check in again next Friday. Good luck ladies. We can do this!

    SW: 221 lbs.
    GW: 195 lbs.
    Goal #1 Aug 23: 216 lbs. / Actual 219

    Goal #2 Sep: 214 lbs.
    Goal #3 Oct: 209 lbs.
    Goal #4 Nov: 204 lbs.
    Goal #5 Dec: 199 lbs.

    So I just recently checked my weight and I have 7 pounds to go to reach my September goal. I'm going to try to kick it in gear. I've been exercising and eating healthy. My only problem is last friday I fell down the stairs. I didn't break my leg but I did injury it and my big toe pretty good. So my intensity in my works out haven't been where they were. My cousin has lent me two videos I hope to get an opportunity to use. If not I may go to my pilates dvd and replace a meal with a green smoothie. Good luck to all.

    Hi, ladies! Congrats to everyone who met/exceeded their goal this week. And for anyone who didn't, we all still have plenty of time, so keep it going!

    As for me...I lost my one pound for the week again...putting me at 205 now. I was really surprised by that because I underestimated how many calories I was eating on Wednesday and ended up eating about 2000 calories that day (I normally eat about 1600) - and I haven't been exercising! Still on track to be 203 by the end of September!

    Again I sit here, in tears this time because im 7lbs bigger. AGAIN!! I really feel like giving up. I lose the weight, start letting the compliments from my love get in my head and I get comfortable and just relax when I should be working harder to lose 50 or 60lbs. Frustrating but I have to start over and KEEP MOVING! I think im just going to drop this challenge and just focus on losing 25lbs by my bday which is 12-28. That seems more realistic to me. You guys continue soing great, and I'll peep in from tome to time. smooches!! :-)

    Just checking in ladies. It's late and I'm almost 'asleep at the wheel' so I'll do my weekly check in on Friday, but I wanted to say welcome to all of the new comers, congrats to all of the folks losing, and DON'T GIVE UP to those who are struggling!! You are not alone in this journey :)

    Awww Dont leave us :cry: . we set our own goals here. and we fall and we get up, and thats okay. The actual challenge is to just keep going. It doesnt matter how much you get off by Christmas, as long as you keep fighting for your health you are bound to be at a different fitness level and a better, healthier body by then end of this. But I do understand the frustration, i wish you much success on your bday goals :flowerforyou:

    My weightloss is creeping along in this challenge. Its starting to seem like 165 is not in the cards. 175 maybe. 170 if Im lucky. smdh. But 175 is better than my challenge start weight of 196 and definitely better than my MFP SW of 212 :drinker: . Gotta look at the bright side :happy:

    Hey Divas!!!

    Good Morning Ladies,

    Congrats on your progress this month whether it was weight loss, inches loss, staying the same, changing some eating habits or starting an exercise regimen every this counts. As the month progressed I realized my goals where unreachable and needed to be changed to be more attainable. I started this challenge at 281.8 my August Goal was 270 and today I am 273.4 that’s a total of 8.4 pounds, not the 11 lbs. loss I wanted but I’ll take that. I am 3.4 pounds away from losing 50 lbs. I am so proud of myself. God is so awesome; I couldn’t do this without him. Just want to thank all my MFP friends and FB friends because you guy are amazing. My Sept Goal is to get down to 260, if reached that will be a 13.4 pound loss. I owe my success this past week to the Dr. Ian Smith Fat Smash Diet detox. Monday I weighed in at 278 and today I am down 4.6 pounds in 4 days all’s. I may continue the diet or start over next month; I will make my final decision by Saturday. I have been slacking off on exercising because I have been taking someone to the gym with me who is not ready yet, 20 mins into the workout and she is ready to go home. If I am not working out with my cousin Mercy I prefer to work out by myself. 264 pounds is my next major goal on my 10% of body weight I set when I first started my jorney. I may weigh-in every week, I am still unsure; I am beginning to hate the scale LoL. Everyone keep up the hard work and I can wait to read everyone success stories next weigh in day. Be Blessed and Healthy. TTYL

    Good morning, weigh-in day for me. This morning I weighed 217.2lbs...down 1.8. Very happy with this number. It's been very slow for me but I know that's the way it should be for successful permanent weight loss. I will check in again next Friday. Good luck ladies. We can do this!

    SW: 221 lbs.
    GW: 195 lbs.
    Goal #1 Aug 23: 216 lbs. / Actual 219

    Goal #2 Sep: 214 lbs.
    Goal #3 Oct: 209 lbs.
    Goal #4 Nov: 204 lbs.
    Goal #5 Dec: 199 lbs.

    Down only .2 this week. Not discouraged because I was crazy busy at work this week and too tired to exercise when I got home late each day. I'm still going to try my best to hit my September goal. I'm at 217 today. 3 pounds to go. Will weigh in next Friday.
