    My goal for this month is to lose 3 or 4 cm in my thighs. But I want to lose a few pounds too!

    August 1: 70.7 kg (155.86 lbs)
    August 9: 70.1 kg (154.5 lbs)

    1 lbs lost! :D

    8/8 - 149.5 (I think it's more, as I feel like I'm retaining a bit of water, but I'll take .5 down)

    Reason for losing weight going on vacation and don't want to be scared wearing my bikini. Also, tired of clothes being to tight and having to suck it in constantly. I want to look good for my honey and mainly ME!
