      I need this motivation. I was going gangbusters until vacation, when I stopped logging/exercising and never really got back on track.

      I want to take part. However, my weigh day is on Mondays. So it'll be 2 days after each date. Oh and it's my b-day sept 3rd. So it'll be great to be below the 100s (kgs that is). Fingers crossed.

      Day 1: my biggest success this week is joining this challenge! After losing 50 pounds, I feel off the wagon about a month ago and gained 4 pounds back. I have worked too hard to fall backwards! Here's to get back on track and getting it back together!!

      Successes/struggles this week: Wooo that's more like it! I knew my weight was a little inflated this past week, so it's nice to see things shake back out.
