Hello again.... so sorry I’m late with the challenge this month for those who come back every month. Trying to rush around last minute for my sons school things and uniform etc, I lost track of everything else :o

Anyways - back again for September. Anyone can join or leave whenever they please.
Post as often or as little as you like.
Use the format below for your weigh-ins so you and everyone can keep track on your progress - that way we can all cheer you on :)

Please be respectful and kind to each other. This is a hard journey that we’re all on, so let’s not make it harder for each other by being negative nellys lol.

Have a great month guys! Work extra hard with it being halloween next month and we all sneak our kids candy while they’re sleeping haha.

Let’s smash it! x

    Seems after doing this for 3 years someone else has decided to start their own challenge with the same titles I use

    So, if no-one wishes to continue with mine then I wish you all the luck in reaching your goals and I will discontinue after this month so there will be no confusion with 2 challenges with the same title :) x

    Didn’t realize the other group wasn’t ours!!! I’m guessing someone was just trying to help.
    I’ve been doing this specific challenge for one year now and it’s important to me. Knowing and trusting that Samantha keeps it going is super important.
    I’m sticking to what works😁

    Feeling really refocused so far this month after a summer of maintenance I’m ready to take it to the next level.

    Thank you Samantha.
    Glad that you are okay.

    Yes, someone was just trying to help - we hadn't seen a post from you in August, or a new month posted by the morning of September 4th. I started to get antsy when there wasn't a new thread, I have become so dependent on it as an aid. I must say that I was happy and relieved that someone got one going.
    I have seen other threads where people stepped up to keep the posts going and am appreciative of that.
    We really get used to checking in, and for me it is daily and has become part of my routine. I believe that it has really helped me.

    I have been on this thread since October 28.18, so coming up on a year.

    5'3
    Going to be 59 years old this month.
    Start weight 191 October 28.18

    September 01 - 158.6

    I will be here again, but I think I am taking a diet break for the next couple of weeks. I didn't really get anywhere in August because to be honest I lost my motivation. I have been on this journey for over a year now and have lost just over 35 pounds, but I am tired. Last month was a really rough month with some family issues that needed to be taken care of and now my birthday is coming up in a couple of days. So I am eating at maintenance until the 15th and will get back to my losing routine and finally get rid of these last couple of pounds. My ultimate goal is 135-138. I have been hovering between 142-145 the last month, so I am super close, but exhausted at the same time.


    Original starting weight - 178
    September starting weight - 8/30 weigh in 143.6
    September goal - 141
    Ultimate goal - 135-138

    1st - 143.6 on 8/30 before I left for FIL funeral in Texas
    5th- 145.1 still working on restaurant and water weight from 4 days in Texas

    Hi Ladies - I am new to this forum. I am encouraged by all the success that I am reading about. I'd love to hear how you have been able to drop the weight. I am 53, healthy, eat clean, exercise 5-6 times per week and feel that I would like to lose about 15-20 pounds...but it is very difficult. My job has me sitting for most of the day, which I am sure doesn't help. I track macros and my food intake. I drink plenty of water. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance:)
