    By October I hope to lose the last 8-10 pounds and be in maintenance. I have been doing this for a year now and assumed I would already be there, but alas I am still working on it. So good luck everyone! My weigh in days will be every Saturday. They seem to be my best days and the lowest.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 143.7
    Challenge Level: 2 (technically my goal is to lose 8.7 pounds)
    Challenge Goal weight: 135

    08/01: 143.7 I think this is a little higher than it should be, but we are starting here.
    08/03: 142.2 I've been here for a couple of days now, hoping for a loss next week
    08/10: 139.6 this seems super low today. It will probably bounce up a bit, but I’m happy with it today
    08/17: 142.1 I have not been doing great this last week. Monday I’m back on track I matter what.
    08/24: 142.1 same as last week but that’s ok. The last couple of weeks I have not been on my best game!
    8/31: In Texas to deal with Mark’s dad’s stuff

    Total Loss For August:143.6 = a loss of 0.1 pound (not a great month, lol)

    9/01: In Texas NS
    09/07: 143.8 I’m on a diet break right now so this is pretty good

    Challenge Goal Weight : 115
    Challenge Level : 2

    Sep 01: 124.4 :: started couple days early in Aug and already making progress. Dropped from 129 to 125. Now, keep on momentum going and be responsible during long weekend for labor day.

    Sep 08: 124.4 :: with exception of 1 day where I drank 2 glasses of wine and went over calories that day by 500, did fairly well. Need to focus on being more active and cutting drinking out completely. Weight is not moving but body shape is looking better in the mirror. Next weekend is the birthday plans so need to plan better around it.

    Weekly Update...

    Better week. 👏👏👏 Still slooooow progress, but I'll take slow. My landscaping project is almost done, so I was able to get more rest (which apparently my body needed). 💪 I've been sloppy with my CICO counting and need to clean that up some. 😬 But overall I'm feeling pleased. Have a great week everyone. 🤗

    @deepwoodslady You are doing a great job. Holidays and celebrations are just bumps in the road. Take a deep breath, and move forward.
    @MadisonMolly2017 👍🏻 You can do this! It's harder to lose the lower you go. Just keep on chipping away at it, and you will get there.
    @Connie7355 You're going great guns. Keep doing what you're doing, and you'll get where you want to be.
