    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

    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!! :-)

    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: dont leave us plz i didn't/will not make my september goal but just think of it this way rather you loss 0lbs.28th

    I also have a goal beyond this challenge. I will be with you:

    :smile:
    That's good. I agree with you. Losing one or two pounds a week is good and healthy without putting your body in shock. Good goals. I'm just starting so let's see here...

    My goal weight is to actually get down to 150-160. I guess I will keep working on this even after the challenge is over.

    Yes ma'am, always look at the positives. Any weight loss is a step in the right direction & the positive changes you are making are for the better!
    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:

    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.
