    Thanks for posting this again! It's very much appreciated and a great goal for each month. Losing 1.25 pounds a week is healthy and attainable for almost anybody! :)


    I got a new scale and it weighs me 3 pounds heavier so I just adjusted my start weight so that it still shows I lost 18 pounds since May!!

    May: Lost 2 pounds (Started May 15th)
    June: Lost 6 pounds
    July: Lost 6 pounds
    August: Lost 4 pounds (cut down on the gym, was a bit lazy, still controlled diet well )
    September: ?????

    Nobody has said anything crazy to me, but several people have said "You lost weight!" LOL I am now officially at 10% weight lost.

    This comment was actually before I started losing weight, but it sticks with me. "OMG! You are so pretty for a fat chick!"
