2) I'm ENGAGED!!!! Did I say that loud enough? Lol.
3) I love trains (steam or diesel or whatever carries passengers except public transit) and he caught this statement a few months ago so he surprised me with my first train ride (diesel, steam was out of service) this past weekend. To my lovely surprise, this train ride included a proposal! Of course, I said YES! I'm ecstatic!
4) Talk about even more of an incentive! I'm more excited than ever to fit 'properly' into a wedding dress. We will have a courthouse wedding (and I am wearing a wedding dress) then a big event some time later down the road.
Congratulations on your engagement. What a romantic way to propose! I'm sure you are going to look stunning in that wedding dress.5 -

Woo!!!!! I lost more than 2 lbs this month. I'm ecstatic for this feat!
I'm glad that I have been eating a little less. I've been cutting back a bit on how much bad snacking I do - chips, pretzels, cookies, etc. And I visit the vending machine a little less and it's right down the hall from my office.
I have not really been doing strenuous exercising - only walking and biking. I'm extremely happy about this weight loss because if I keep this up then I can reach my goal by April 2019. I most certainly want to look my best for myself, fiance, and my family.
Let's keep going everyone!!!4 -

Last week I had only lost 3.4 pounds and I thought there was no way I would lose five pounds for this month, but I wasn't going to give up. Not only did I hit the five pound mark but I hit the six pound mark. I'm so glad I did this challenge and I'm actually sad it's ending lol. But theses always October.7 -
I missed last week's weigh in, so here is two week update:
My weekly update:
8/31/18: 146
9/7/18: 145.4
9/14/18: 147.6
(Last week): 9/21/18: 146 - made it back to my September starting weight.
9/28/18: 144.2 - down 1.8 lbs!
So overall for this month, I lost 1.8 lbs overall. But if I include the weight loss from the gains, it's 4.0 lbs. I am just glad to be below 145. I haven't been at this weight in over 8 years. : ) 5 more lbs to go before I reach my intermediate goal of 140. Long-term goal is to see if I can comfortable get down to and stay at 120.
Good luck all!5 -

9/8 253
9/15 250.8
9/22 249.8 I am not totally surprised with only down a pound. More of the reason! Starting this week I have really increased physical activity. Now cycling three times a week (indoor recumbent bike). resistance, time, distance and speed. Plus mall walking twice a week. Considering when I started in May 2018 I could not walk a half block.
9/29 246.4
Total loss for September :- 9.6 lbs Kicked butt this month! Helped having 5 Saturday weigh ins.
PS I know others have said it as well, but if you are not using a food scale to weigh everything you eat. I am telling you that food scale is priceless in assisting me, so I know exactly how much I am eating, for calories, carbs, fat, protein so I stay on track.4 -

Original starting weight - 235 (on Jan 11, 2018)
September starting weight - 178.8
September goal - 5 lb Loss to be at 173.8
Ultimate goal – 145 lbs by Valentine’s Day. By March 15, 2019 I hope to weigh no more than 153 after an initial and expected water weight gain after transitioning off my diet. I am allowing for (hopefully no more than) 8 pounds for the water weight.
Total loss for September (so far): 1.2 Gain
Sept 01: 178.8
Sept 08: 177.6
Sept 15: 180.0 I am not doing well at all this September round. I’ve got to reign it in.
Sept 22: 176.0 Down four pounds since last weigh in and nearly 3 pounds since the beginning of the challenge overall. Still making up for the travels between 9-8 and 9-15. I’m not likely to make the whole 5 pound goal with a travel day (again) next week that will probably involve all the wrong foods. However, any loss is a good loss and all losses lead to that same Wonderful Place.

Final Thoughts: I am weighing in on the FIRST and LAST day of each month to see the total monthly loss.

September 22 - 149.2
September 29 - 147.8 ... I dropped back into the very top of my maintenance range four of seven days this week. I plan to get back to the middle of the range or lower as I was in July and August. It feels good to at least be back below the ceiling.
September 30 -
Total loss for September: 0.8 pounds. Certainly not where I wanted to be at the end of the month, but WAY better than a continued increase!
After being in maintenance and recomposition for a couple months, I started a small but steady increase. After realizing it wasn't just a "normal" fluctuation, I spent September getting back down just a bit. I may end up adjusting my goal range up or at least expanding it to more than seven pounds, but I'm sure glad I caught this before it was a MAJOR increase.
I am still participating in monthly maintenance challenges, like this one, but until I'm solidly steady back in the middle or bottom my goal range for a while, I'll also be in weight loss mode.
