    Hi everyone!

    Good luck in this month's challenge! August was tough, but from Aug. 1-31, I lost 9 lbs and 5"!

    My starting weight for this is 231. I am leaving on a cruise on Friday to Bermuda (hopefully won't be impacted by Katia!). I plan to work out every day (lots of walking and swimming) as well as do the daily challenges. I also plan to eat in the sit-down places instead of the buffet to make it easier to control what I eat. Add to that lots of water and I hope to come back without gaining any weight!

    Any one else been on a cruise? Any tips for me?

    Also, I want to make sure everyone saw this note from Headquaters:

    HOW DOES THE SEPT CHALLENGE WORK?
    Its very simple. You choose which exercise path you want to do for the day or week. Pygmy or BUSHMEN. Pygmy is more basic and low impact where BUSHMEN is the opposite. I would suggest trying something new! You do the exercises for the day. If there is a weekly goal meet that goal. Once a week you send your team captain an update saying I did all the dailies or I did 5 of them whatever is the case. Then send them your weight on Sunday. That's it. We compute the % of weight loss and your points for each day's exercise and add it together for a total team score. If all of your team completes the daily and weekly challenges you earn bonus points for the team. That's all there is to it really. I hope that helps!

    Yes - You can do Pygmy one day (if you have another workout routine that day, for example) and then the Bushman series another day (when you want to hard workout). You can mix and match as much as your heart desires!!

    I am doing the Pygmy, bc I am coming off a lower back injury and haven't been super active for a while. But I am still super pumped. Today I did my 60 minute walk and the challenge and I feel great!!
