Howdy! Will update on August 1st .

Update (8/1/2015) - Last challenge's goal (July) was to reach 216 from a start weight of 222 and I ended up weighing 219.6 lbs. which is 2.4 lbs. down, and 3.6 from goal. I had a rough month in July, full of good, bad and a little ugly moments but I made it through in the teens and for that I am immensely grateful.

Start Weight (on 8/1/2015): 218.4

Goal Weight (for 8/31/2015): 214 (goal is to lose 4.4 lbs. by the end of the month)

End Weight (on 8/31/2015): Stay tuned!

Weigh in 8/4 - 216.6 (my lowest weight adult weight, woohoo!) 2.6 to goal!

Weigh in 8/7 - 215.8 (my lowest adult weight, THANK YOU! <3) 1.8 to goal!

Weigh in 8/19 - 216.6

Weigh in 8/31 - 213.2 (I beat my goal by .8 lb. woohoo!)


Will update periodically, thank you! <3

In for this - am going to mix up my challenge a bit though. Am trying not to weigh daily.

so aim for 8lbs loss, but weigh weekly on a Tuesday night - use my slimming world weigh in as my losses rather than my home scale.

SW 16st 7.5lb
CW 16st 7.5lb
GW 15st 13.5lb (8lb loss)

I believe for August I'm going high at 10 pounds. I should be able to hit that with all the back to school and back to work commotion happening this month. Highly motivated and down to the wire to see those pounds falling off. Will update tomorrow.
