    I met my goal this month! :happy: So exciting! I honestly can't believe I did it. I haven't been able to stick to any eating/exercise plan in a LONG time and actually show success. I did really well this week with keeping my excess calories in check and being a monster in the gym. Plan to do the same thing this week. I'm hoping the OG decides to do another one of these for August because I want to lose another 5 next month! Good luck everyone! :heart:

    Looks like I'm not going to get to 154 this month, but the slow pace works for me, so that's ok.

    7/27: 163.4

    Oops forgot to post on Friday. Anyways TOM ended so that is the reason for the dramatic weight loss in 1 week. I am really happy though because I ended the June challenge at 169 and then shot back up to almost 174 before joining this challenge. So on top of losing that weight (probably just water) I lost an actual 5 pounds from June. Can't wait for the August Challenge!

    I'm a little annoyed at the 1 lb gain but I've been doing Insanity and I think it may be muscle gain, IDK...
    Here's the pattern:

    I need the push for July,thanks
    July 1 - 187
    July 8 - 187 no loss even tho I exercised like crazy
    July 15 - 188 grrrr
    July 22 - 188 but my pants are getting to big
    July 29 - 188
    Final Weigh In 188
    I took my measurements and I'm down just a little everywhere but my biceps, which I'll take. I think I've lost 3 inches. I've been doning Insanity and a lot of push-ups and crunches, guess I'll keep doing that. I've increased my calorie intake hoping that would help but I just don't get it.
    Congrats to everyone that had a lose! :)

    Wow! I totally missed July!

    I'll definitely be joining you for August. After vacation, I hit my "RED ALERT" threshold at 150 pounds. I have been hovering between 145 and 150 (as low as 143), but refuse to go over 150 again, so now I am watching myself carefully.

    I am starting a Learn to Run 5k clinic tomorrow, so that should increase my exercise. I have run 5k off and on for years, and have used the Couch to 5k many times, but I never stick with it, so I am constantly starting over. This time, I am doing it with a group, so I hope that will help with the motivation.

    Lost 2.8 pounds since the start of this challenge. Don't think I'll make it to 5 by the end of July but still happy to see progress! :)

    2.8 total for July :)

    I didn't think I would do it after seeing the gain a few weeks ago. Can't believe that I came back from that and ended the month on track. Thanks for the challenge, I think it is the reason I didn't give up!!!! I haven't been in the 140's since I left the military in 2008.
