    Weight Loss Challenge for August! (OPEN)

    Posts: 325 Member
    edited September 2024 in Motivation and Support
    So I've been looking for a weight loss group for August but all the ones I find are closed. So I'm starting one. :-) If this goes well, I'll host a group "challenge" each month. I'll leave sign ups open until Friday (08/05).

    To sign up, reply to this post with:

    Your starting weight for August
    Your personal goal for August
    Your personal self-challenge for August

    Then, come back here every week when you weigh in and update us! Feel free to chat on the board too. This is just to help us be accountable to someone. :-)

    For example, here is my "sign up" post:

    SW as of 08/01: 224.4
    Goal for Aug: 220
    Self-Challenge: Workout at least once every day.

    Good luck!

    Welcome!

      I'm already a part of an awesome support group for mommies, but this is an important month for me so i will try a 2nd!

      My name is LaToya Booker. I am the mommy of 2, a toddler and an 11 month old. I am done having babies so i want to transform my body into a hot one! I have around 23 more pounds to lose and I have been struggling to shake the 150's. My goal for August is just that: Shake the 150's!! My plan of action is an Insanity and Ripped in 30 Hybrid for 6 weeks. I am going to Vegas on September 16, 2011 and i wanting to be in a swimsuit by then.

      SW- 156 (August 1st)
      GW- 150 (Sept 1st)
