    Oooo I love this idea! I recently decided that I need to focus on 5 lbs at a time. I absolutely will be here with you when you start Sep 1st! Writing down a remind in my planner to post Monday morning!

    Good luck to all of you on your last 3 days!

    Well, I had hoped for 184 as my August goal weight but I'm not quite there. Still, I am progressing so I'll have to be content with that. I am going to raise my goals slightly for September and see if I can't speed things up a bit.

    SW=197
    CW=187
    GW for August=184
    UGW=135

    Awww thank you x I am pleased - I set myself the task of losing 3lbs this month - just because I knew I was going away twice and would struggle to lose anything those times, I settled for maintaining, and even though I did have some water weight gain it was lost quickly. :) I'm pleased that I've hit my goal for the end of August. :) My next aim is to be 140lbs by the end of October :)

    Well, this week I did some major league comfort eating because of some family stuff----but only put on .1, so it's OK. My total loss for this month was only 2.1, but I really didn't expect to lose 5 pounds. At this stage in my life, 1/2 pound per week is a reasonable loss. I feel good about it. This challenge really helped me keep on track and I'm going to join up with you all in the Sept. challenge. I have a vacation in the middle of the month, so it will be a tough go. I will bite the bullet and get my cholesterol checked soon.
