Despite being away for a week on holidays this month, I remain on target to hit and perhaps slightly surpass my goal of 166 to 162 for September. Very happy that my better food choices and slightly increased activity levels are paying off since August. All very sustainable too- a couple of days per week I aim for some intense activity (roller derby, interval training, weights), I try to get a 5k walk in every day (don't always make it) and have swapped bread for salads and ryvita, courgettes/aubergine for pasta (under my bolognese) and peppers/onions for rice (under my bolognese that was turned into chilli). No way in hell am I giving up wine, coffee, the odd square of chocolate or cheese but haven't had to so far. Roll on October's challenge- going to try for 157, a pound loss per week. 155 would be amazing. Congrats everyone for staying on track!

Good job everyone! I'm down another 1.5 pounds this week and 1.5 under my September goal. This has been a much better month - I didn't lose a thing in August. I'm continuing to cut out sugar, caffeine, processed foods and alcohol from my diet. I'm going to try to keep it up for a full 30 days then reward myself with just a little something or favorite meal including a nice glass of wine!

Rocking steady at same weight all week
Here's to next month!
