This is for the people who signed up for the September Weight Loss Challenge. Good luck to everyone! Near the end of the month, look for my post with the link to the November thread if you are interested in doing it in November too!

When you weigh in, please use this format:

Starting weight for September
This week's weigh in
Your goal for September
Total Loss so far in September
How you are doing on your personal goal
Any comments you'd like to make

This will make it easier at the end of the month for me to tally our weight loss totals & update the board with them.

    **Starting weight for September -- 261.8 (08/28/11)

    **This week's weigh in -- 267 (09/05/11) retaining water?! There is no way I gained 6 pounds in a week!

    **Your goal for September -- 255

    **Total Loss so far in September -- I am in the negatives :(

    **How you are doing on your personal goal -- not very good at this point... I do believe I am retaining water which would account for that large gain from last week. I am hoping it goes back down soon! damn TOM!

    Starting weight for September: 200.4
    This week's weigh in: 199.6 lbs
    Your goal for September: 190 lbs
    Total Loss so far in September: .8lbs

    How are you doing on you personal goal?
    Doing good on my personal goal! Done 30DS 2x a day every day so far (take Fridays off), walked til i burn 500 calories every day (take Friday off), & burned 6644/5000 calories last week (did MORE than my goal!)

    Any comments you'd like to make:
    I wish that I could lose more weight lately. I'm on a plateau & it's really starting to bother me, it's been over 3 weeks since I lost anything. If I gain 2lb I lose it, if I lost 2lbs I gain it. I always end up between 199-200. I'm really hoping that all this working out in September will kick my own butt & get the scale moving again.

    Total Loss so far in September: 4
    How you are doing on your personal goal: exercising high intensity 4 times a week for over an hour and 30DS started today...drinking more water but still could be drinking more!
    Very happy with this weeks weight lost but most of it was probably water weight! Will probably get much harder!
    Good Luck everyone! :)

    I've added a lot of you all to my friends list from the sign up thread. If I missed you and you want to add me, go ahead. This will help because I will post reminders to my status feed every Friday to remind you all to check in if you haven't that week. It's not "required" for this challenge but thought it'd be easier that way. :-)

    How I'm feeling: Happy that school starts Wednesday. I thrive on routine. I planned my menus for this week, but I notice I'm still eating too many sweets and not enough produce. Need to push the water, too. On the bright side, I got my exercise in today. Baby steps.

    How you are doing on your personal goal? So far so good! I've been drinking a LOT more water, having gotten two 4.4 + mile roller blading sessions in and for a holiday weekend did very good with my calories. I'd say I am on track to meet my goal, if not hopefully pass it!

    Good luck everyone! Keep it up!

    My Starting Weight as of August 28 was 211.5

    This week's weigh in 210.4

    Goal for September: 200

    Total Loss so far in September was 1.1 lbs

    How you are doing on your personal goal was to start including strength training 2-3 times a week. I did Jillian Michael's 30 day shred twice last week. My arms and my obliques hurt, but it felt good.

    My eating has been off this weekend, so I need to get back on track. I did run a 5k today, so I needed a little extra protein. Forcing myself off the scale, so hope I'm on track.

    Hi every1 I just love these challenges bc they help to keep me focus. I have been pretty good doing the right thing but lately I am kinda distracted bc of my new family addition, graduation & trying to focus on taking the boards... so I'm under alot of stress.

    My goal for September - To start back the 17 day diet & continue to workout 6-7 days a week
    I will start my personal goal today 9/6 and I hope to lose at least 5lbs by the end of september:bigsmile:
