    Oops! I forgot to post even though weighed on Monday. I'm disappointed that I didn't make the 10 pounds thanks to some major emotional eating the second half of the month :grumble:. But now I've removed some negative influences in my life and even though the "extraction" was very painful, I will be better in the long run. And by golly, I'm ready to tear it up in September!!

    I had a respectable weight loss for this month, it could have been more (I did have a week of vacation so I cut myself some slack). Given that I will be making some changes to my weight loss goals now (I recently learned I am pregnant!) I will not be joining you all for the September challenge. Good luck to everyone, you've done a great job staying focused on getting healthier!

    i am 6'2 and i thought that around 190 i would find some muscles in my belly, now i think i might need to get down to 185 in addition to doing some weights that focus on that and the persistent love handles i have.

    quit smoking in july (39 out of 42 days smoke free) and lost 7 lbs in august so i will take that.

    August Challenge
    8/1: 200
    8/8: 197
    8/15: 195
    8/22: 194
    8/29: 193
