Thought I'd be the first to post that I did not meet my Labor Day goal of buttoning my shorts, but I can wear them if I move the button over!

I'm hoping that some people here were able to meet their Labor Day Challenge. It was a hard one. I think the summer challenges are a lot harder than winter ones--too much going on, I guess. If nobody did, well, that's okay, too, and we'll all just try harder. I know I'm really going to work hard to meet my Halloween Challenge!

I'm sorry to say I not only didn't meet my goal but I put 2.2 lbs back on.

But things have changed now and I'm planning to put the focus back on getting more healthy again and getting the wt down at least a bit.

250/210/205/????

I didn't meet my goal, but my feet are smaller.

I didn't meet my goal either -- came within 1 pound, though

I'm sorry i've been MIA for a while now. Life has been really stressful lately and just trying to keep afloat. I went away this past weekend and seen a good friend of mine that i haven't seen for over a year.

Weight loss hasn't been going well at all for the past few weeks --at one point I was up almost 8 pounds from my lowest weight. I am now back to within 4 pounds of reaching "virgin" territory again.

Needless to say I am not even close to my labor day goal. I just want to get back to new territory for next week and perhaps end the month at 285 or so.

PS. I won't be around as much as I have been. I'm working really long hours

I met my goal and passed it by 5 lbs. On to a new goal.

SAPF, you crack me up!! Now you have to go out and buy new socks! And Jo, coming within a pound is way cool! You should pat yourself on the back for that one.

Julie, congratulations for meeting and passing your goal--way to go! I'm so excited for you--you've almost lost 100 lbs. Woohoo!

Matt, I'm so glad you're back. You've been missed! Sorry you've had such a stressful time lately. I hope things get better for you, although working long hours doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

Thanks sheila! I am soooo close and the last few pounds to 100 are creeping off lol!

I tried on the pair of shorts that I said I couldn't button on Labor Day and, I can button them!

I just figured they wouldn't fit because I hadn't lost that much weight so I didn't even try them on. I saw them in my drawer today, and tried them on to see how much I'd have to move the button over because I wanted to wear them before summer ended, and I was so surprised when I could actually button them easily.

Now I know why they say that about the word "assume." And it's another lesson to me that the scales may not go down that much, but I'm still losing inches.

Didn't hit my goal. But I did have a really good summer and haven't had dramatic gains. So it's back to work for fall!

Julie - Congrats on meeting (and exceeding) your goal! That's way cool!

Sheila - Great job getting into those shorts!
