    Hello everyone - just popping in to say Hi and weigh in (although I really didn't want to tell you as I have gained :cry: )

    SW - 139.5 lbs (Monday August 1)
    Week 1 - 138.75 lbs (Monday August 8)
    Week 2 - 139.25 lbs (Monday August 15)
    Week 3 - 142.5 lbs (Monday August 22)
    Week 4 - xxx lbs (Monday August 29)
    Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday September 1)

    Lost in August so far 0 lbs (1 lb gain) - the combination of completely falling off the wagon due to my thesis, huge amounts of junk and snacks and a big weekend (in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary celebrations!)

    Got to give my thesis first priority so will be back when the first draft is in. Really missing this so that's a great incentive to getting my thesis done!

    I will try and remember to weigh in on Monday and after that will hopefully be able to get back to my 30DS and walking at least.

    Seey'all on the other side :happy: - that'll be September Challenge...!!

    GREAT WORK!

    I'm in the process of giving this a try - had three days off in the last five, and feel good about the R&R&R (rest, relaxation, recovery!).. I'd like to finish August with a great loss!

    Wow some of you guys are so close to the 10lbs! I will be absolutely ecstatic if I lose 5lbs! which is just one more pound to go! but as last week I lost 2.2lbs Im going to push hard for the rest of the week to try and manage the same! Hopefully I will. Tomorrow is swimming so that will be my rest day :) Hope your all having a grand week!

    COME ONE EVERYONE LETS PUSH FOR THAT LAST WEEK!

    Due to the hurricane about to hit I may not get to update my weight until later this week. I will try my best to get it in before Wednesday, unless the electricity is out too long.

    Im sure you will be able to do it jackie, may I ask what is this weight loss drug? how does it work and what is it going to do?

    Also I did a bad thing, thought i'd have a cheeky weigh in to see whats going on and ive gained a 1lb! really put me in a bad mood for today! SO THAT TEACHS ME A LESSON!

    See you all monday for the weigh in and good luck!!!

    Oralstat or ali it keeps grease from binding to you when you eat. So if you eat to much grease it can have some bad side affects if you are not close to the bathroom if you know what I am talking about. I am getting it through my doctor through the VA. I have to loose 12 pounds in 3 months or they will not renew the prescription.

    Hey Group, its been awesome joining this challenge this month. It's really kept my motivation up to drop these 10lbs. Thank you all for doing an awesome job and working at it. Dont be upset if you didnt make the goal. Participating in a weight loss challenge is something a lot of us would NEVER even have considered in our past. But now, changing our lives to be healthier has brought us here.

    Ok, enough of the happy BS. lol

    I probably won't be able to check in until thursday because of this Hurricane. Working in EMS means im part of the emergency response system in my state (although i'm private EMS), we're still utilized by Hospitals and Nursing Homes. SO, I've gotta go live at work for the next 3 or so days. And my shifts are Sunday Monday and Tuesday 16's.

    Good luck everyone, and i'll catch you next week as long as we have power.

    I need prayers for tomorrow. Over 3 years ago my 3 youngest babies where taken by their father. I have not seen them or talk to them in over 3 years. Tomorrow, August 28, is the oldest ones 11th birthday. I think they are in Williamsburg, VA area. Any way tomorrow will be willing hard on me. This is why I am asking for prayers from those that pray. Thank you in advance.
