Well, as I suspected, I didn't make my 4% goal (I did lose 3.3%), but I am thrilled to have lost 5 pounds during the month of July, and that's a big win as far as I'm concerned!

I started the month at 151.5 pounds and ended at 146.5 pounds, and that's the lowest I've been since January 24, 2007! I still have a ways to go yet (looking for 135 by the end of September at this point) and have some obstacles to overcome (a week in Walt Disney World coming up in August) but I have high hopes!

    I am excited to have reached my goal. My motivation was to dip under that 200 lb line. I went a bit over, partly I think because I got sick, but I am working out more and eating mostly healthy. Next month I am aiming at getting under 189.2 because then I will be out of the obese range. Would love to lose another 4%.

    I weighed in at 3.8%, just .2lb short of my 4% goal yesterday morning.

    Ladies, I'd really like for there to be another 4% challenge for August. Has anybody started one yet? The only august one I saw so far was a 10lb August one, but that's just not going to be possible for me. I'm REALLY liking the 4% goals.

    My goal was to lose 7.56 lbs and I lost 7.5, so I missed it by .06 of a pound!!! I'm happy with that though (my scale doesn't even read to that decimal point) so in my opinion, I met my goal.

    I'm excited that my first month went well, and I was able to surpass my goal for the month! I know it won't always happen this way, but I lost about 6% this month, which is a couple pounds over what I was aiming for. I'm definitely motivated to do something similar again!
