I didn't make my goal weight but I'm not too discouraged. I got off to a really slow start. I had a three week period where I did not lose. But I made a couple of changes and I think I'm back on track. Today I'm 218.6...I'll take it...out of the 220s. My next goal is 211 on September 23 and I'm going to work very hard to get those 7 lbs. My Christmas gift to myself will be to get to ONEDERLAND. I love this challenge and appreciate all the support.
SW: 221 lbs.
GW: 195 lbs.
Goal #1 Aug 23: 216 lbs. - CW 218.6 - down 2.4
Goal #2 Sept 23: 211 lbs.
Goal #3 Oct 23: 206 lbs.
Goal #4 Nov 23: 201 lbs.
Goal #5 Dec 23: 195 lbs.
I remember how great I felt when I made it out of the 220's -- congrats to you!!!0 -

So today's weigh in day. Im down 1lb since I signed up for this challenge, but I gained 8 once I singed up. Immediatly after signing up I started drinking sodas and eatong sweets then I hurt my back so I couldnt get a good work out in. I worked hard for the past week in a half and I've lost the weight I gained so Im happy with that and a 1lb lost. Its better then another gain! Im gonna try hard to reacnh my Sept goal of 249. I work out twicw a day now sometimes 3 if I can get one in at work and I only eat sweets once a week. I time on whatever day I choose. Yesterday was M&M's. NO SODA'S at all. With this plan I WILL REACH MY GOALS.. :-)0

@londaknight - losing inches is wonderful! The scale will eventually catch up
@Beautifullymade j- 8.4 lb loss is excellent -- well done! (side note - I have GOT to get Dr Ian's book!)

Please feel free to add me as I need all the encouragement and support I can get!!!
Aug 23rd weigh-in 296 (gained 1 lb) Sad and dissapointed but I know I just ate too many calories and too many of the wrong kinds of foods. Going to step it up this month and try to still hit my Sept goal...here we go!0 -
It's weigh in day!! So I have decided to do my weigh ins monthly instead of weekly. At the beginning of this challenge I did gain 10 lbs, and as of today i weighed in at 376 :ohwell: I lost 9 of the 10 lbs I gained. That's a start in the right direction. I am determined to get back on track so I can hit my september goal on time :happy:
GOAL #2: September GW 357

Ok, so my SW July 23rd was 240. I got down to 236.4. This morning my scale read 239. SO ANNOYED! I only worked out twice this week. It was a struggle. But I won't let this defeat me, just a little bump in the road! I knew I wasn't going to reach my goal for the month after my weigh in last week but thought I would get close to it....
Well September, I'm coming for you!

Congrats to all you ladies who have lost weight, inches or who despite gains are still in this to win it!!! It's been a great 4 weeks and I am proud and thankful for the support and commitment we have on here. I did not reach my goal, but I will do wait it takes to reach that Sept. 30th goal. I have been on the slow play and know if I totally commit myself to eating right as well as exercising consistently it should be a breeze

Hey ladies!
I didn't accomplish my monthly goal but I did lose 4 lbs from my starting weight of 265. I had about a two week plateau due to be being away from my surroundings. I am back on track not sure how I am going to get to my old goals so I am going to adjust my goals.

Q
Working on my protien girl!!! Thanks for the push!!!0 -
I didn't reach my goal for this month and I actually gained weight...i'm kinda of dissapointed but I can only blame myself. I've been eating out a lot and not exercising. Reading all your stories is really motivating so I'll do better for sept!
SW:153
GW:110-115
Goal #1 Aug - 150 - CW - 1550 -
I love the name of this challenge!
SW is 194
GW is 155 (I'd like to eventually get down to the 130-140 range, but I think 60 pounds is too much to safely lose in 4 months)
Goal #1 August: 194
Goal #2 September: 185
Goal #3 October: 175
Goal #4 November: 165
Goal #5 December: 155
Good luck ladies, we can do this!!!0 -
