There are so many great pictures on here! I'm glad to see so many people with great self-confidence.

I'm loving all the personal goals this month!

My thoughts exactly! :blushing:

I made it halfway to my goal for August & got sick. I'm starting my workout routine again on Friday. Goal for September - 15 miles Miles Walked so far in September - 0 miles Miles left to goal - 15 miles

I :heart: this!

WOW. Amazing transformation.

I :heart: your hair! Cute tattoo too. :happy:

Great reason to love a photo! :-) I *still* don't have that confidence (not that I could do it even if I did), but WHEN I have the confidence for a bikini-top photo, it will be my profile pic for the longest time! LOL

Everyone's photos are great! :drinker:

Fixed:

24, as of July 27. Good guess. :-) ETA - 28? Going by the photos in your sig. 25 going by profile pic...

Betty - I can barely see you, but by the profile pic alone (so I don't cheat by going to your profile for more pics), I say 40ish?

Thanks so much! I am hoping that the good trend continues! :-) See you on the September board! And any loss is good loss, keep up the great work!

Me too! LOL It's funny (and sad), I was stick-thin till the summer between my 5th & 6th grade years, then I got chubby very quickly! Then turned to fat over the years, not just some chub. So the last time I was skinny I was like 10 years old.

24 here. I have another 65 lbs to lose, on top of what I've already lost. Feel free to add me. :-)

SW -224.4 lbs (Monday August 1) Week 1 - 222.4 lbs (Monday August 8) Week 2 - 219.8 lbs (Monday August 15) Week 3 - 217.4 lbs (Monday August 22) Week 4 - 214.6 lbs (Monday August 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday September 1) I haven't been updating every week, just doing it all at once. I'll post on the 1st and let you…

Welcome everyone! It's nice to see so many people interested in this. :-) Feel free to add me as well. I work part-time (as needed) and I babysit 40+ hours/week (AND I have my own 2 year old), so gym-time is hard to come by! I am going to hit the gym 3x/week this month!

**September's Board is Up!** Please go and sign up if you are going to join us for September. I'm leaving sign ups open till September 5th. We'll see how it does with closing sign ups instead of leaving them open all month. You all let me know how you feel, if you like the closed sign up or if you like leaving sign ups…

Hey everyone! I just wanted everyone to know that I'm going to be making a board for us for September. I will put it up sometime soon and leave sign ups open till the 3rd. Then we'll move the board to a "closed" group one. This way we don't have too many people, as some of you have expressed concern over the group getting…

The end of the month is near, then we'll have a new thread for September. Since we're going to be starting it on time, we'll only have till a certain date to sign up. I hope you don't give up on us! I read everyone's posts, so nobody is "invisible". Hope to see you again soon.

That's definitely clever! Too bad there isn't a way to do this online. And doing it to a charity you DON'T support is better than doing it to one you DO. If it's one you support, you won't care nearly as much if that check gets sent off... if it's one you don't support, then you REALLY don't want it to get sent.

I've had a horrible cold for almost a week now. It's been so bad that yesterday I had NO voice. I've had a high fever, NO appetite, and I could hardly breathe sitting still (even worse laying down). Therefore, I didn't workout. That means I haven't had a workout in almost a week. :-( I miss it, but I've got to let my body…

OMG. It starred out the name of the sport good store. LOL It'd D***'s... rhymes with Tick's. :laugh:

I bought mine at ****'s Sporting Goods. Purchased a Polar FT1 for $70. It doesn't have all the fancy functions but I wanted to make sure I liked a chest strap model before purchasing a more expensive/fancy Polar (for over $100). I got sick shortly after purchasing it so I haven't gotten to use it much, but what little I've…

I know! I said the same thing a week or so ago. People will ask me how I'm losing weight and I tell them I'm counting calories, eating healthier stuff, and exercising and they look at me like I'm nuts. They WANT to hear that I'm doing some kind of magic diet or taking magic pills that just make weight loss a breeze. They…

GREAT job!!

Same here. I was like :indifferent: Then went back and re-read it. SMH

This ^^ is what I was going to put, almost word-for-word! Additionally - women who do it ALL. Work full time, do the dishes, do the laundry, sweep, mop, clean everything, cook dinner, wash those dishes, AND do whatever it takes with the kids. This isn't the 1950's. I do most of the housework & take care of our 2 year old,…

Stacking all the chairs at night @ my part time job... and mopping that bad boy. I break a heck of a sweat. LOL
