Notes: so frustrating. I suspect this is due to some chili powder I ate yesterday with my watermelon. It’a called Tajin and super super high in sodium. I had a little craving and completely regret that decision now. I hope I can manage to bring this back down by tomorrow. Today, lots of water to flush that out.

Hi guys. Sorry I’m a week late, not going to lie I actually completely forgot to upload the challenge this month, I seriously need to get my head on straight lol
So back for another month, anyone can come or go as they please as this is an open challenge. Post as often or as little as you like. Please be kind and supportive to each other.
I personally prefer this format :
Original starting weight -
August starting weight -
August goal -
Ultimate goal -

1st -
8th -
15th -
22nd -

Total loss for August -

But feel free to use any that suits you

Have fun and let’s smash it guys xx

Where you at???

@mari_moulin I know how much I want the scale to go down so I can only imagine your frustration. Have you tried doing body measurements? It is cool to see inches lost, especially when the scale isn’t cooperating.

My name is Donna and I am 61 years old. I am from the Midwest USA. 5’ 5
I will be keeping the Thursday weigh-in (in addition to the 1st and last day of the month for the full tally)
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Original Starting Weight (2016) 253.0
Sept start Weight: 186.8 (Weight on August 31, 2021)
Sept Goal Weight: 181.8 (5 lb loss)
Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there).


Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s


STARTING WEIGHT August 31 : 186.8…..(trend weight 188.3)

Sept 02:…..185.2…..(trend weight 187.5) This is my stats for Sept 2nd. I don’t trust the weight on the first. It was too low and unrealistic. While I would love to claim it, I know it was a fluke or a weird fluctuation. I didn’t lose 6.4 pounds in two days!

Sept 09:…..188.8…..(trend weight 187.9) I have been totally posting on the wrong dates. This whole month is wacko for me! Anyway, here I am after a tremendous weight gain over the past week. Cancer scares, medical testing and travel, well keeps stopping leaving me with no water, a very bad and unexpected death in my extended family. What else can go wrong? And does eating cookies really help any of that? Well, I think we all know the answer to that! More travel today for two CT scans and I already know that will push the scale up even more. I will begin to turn around this ship on Friday. That is the only for sure thing in my life right now!
Sept 16:…..xxxxx…..(trend weight xxxxx)

Sept 23:…..xxxxx…..(trend weight xxxxx)

Sept 30:…..xxxxx…..(trend weight xxxxx)

So excited to hit this new PP low! I have really been struggling with a lot of things in life for the last few weeks, but I'm glad I haven't resorted to my usual using food for comfort. At least one thing is going right in my life right now.
