Check In Time
Yesterday wasn't OP. Peanut butter & crackers again :devil:
My weight is up to 2.4lbs in just 12 hrs. Amazing what carbs & sodium will do to me!

Today I'm planning for a 100% OP day. Hopefully the weight will go just as fast as it came.

Hope your day is a good one!

Well another failed month.

Set my goal at 10 lbs and only lost 5.

I am working hard but my body just does not want to lose weight like it used to. I will adjust my goal with that in mind next month.


Congratulations to all of those people who reached their goals.

Today was weigh-in day and I lost 3.8 pounds this week. Yay! Clean eating sure workks for me! Looking forward to the September challenge!

Just need to lose a tenth of a pound to make my goal by the end of August! Gah! I lost weight so slow this month! (Partially because I needed to maintain one week for health reasons, but still!)

ETA: Just weighed, and got more than my tenth of a point -- I'm at 149.4! So, I made both goals this month!

Hey ladies! August has not been stellar for me, but it's been all me. I'm glad to see my knee and legs showing improvement. I feel okay, but I know I'm "off" since I'm not making the right food choices. One day it's good, the next I decide to let things slide. It's turned into a REALLY bad habit. That's why I love new months to start fresh and set things straight. September will be a challenge, but I'm ready to correct some bad habits and re-establish some good ones. I've already planned the first week of supper meals, which I haven't been doing lately at all. 1 more day in August. Here's to not being a bonehead that 1 day! LOL

I'm praying that what I'm seeing is sodium causing water retention. I can't even type it, it's so bad. Hopefully the scales will be over their little hissy fit by the first.

MsP: Congrats on the run. I'm glad you were able to do it and hope the knee continues to improve before your marathon.

fivestone: yay for you, that's great!

The Bunneh: wahoo! I knew you could do it!

My Michelle: color me jealous. I gained three pounds in a day. :?:

PopcornGal: Another failed month for me, too. But at least we still have the downward trend going, so it's not too terrible!

Susiemartin: my off plan day was so much worse than peanut butter and crackers.

Okay, I said I couldn't type it, but now I'm ready. Saturday I ate a giant gyro lunch, which kept me stuffed until way past dinner time. I went out that night, got drunk, and ate dinner at 11p.m. I was up three pounds yesterday and another .6 today! I ate under my calories yesterday and today, exercised like a madwoman both days, and I'm drinking tons of water, so I'm hoping the month won't be a total wash. Two days ago I was 1.4 pounds away from making goal, and feeling great. Today, I'm 5 pounds away from making goal and feeling like a failure. I'm just getting lazy, and that really worries me! It seems to be getting worse the closer I get to my final goal. I wonder if there's a subconscious part of me that doesn't want to reach it. My biggest fear is that I'll never learn how to do maintenance. Wow, for not thinking I wanted to "talk" about it, I wrote a tome!

I hope the remainder of everyone's month is on plan and happy!

LouisaH: You're so close to goal, you are so NOT a failure. So you had a small setback. As you said, most of that is water. 1 setback does not erase the truth of all your hard work during the month, no matter what the scale says. This is probably an excellent lesson and experience for you to ponder and work through as you are so close to maintenance. How could you change your choices in the future? How could you avoid the situation or at least moderate it? Where there triggers you can avoid? Like you, I'll admit to being scared of maintenance, but we can do it! Stay focused, committed and determined, this is just a little blip in your awesome journey!

Today is the last day of August. I have my food all planned out, it will be a good one. If I eat totally clean today I'll meet my 12 day goal, yay! then, on to the challenge of September!

I'm glad August is almost over. I weighed myself everyday and ended the month well :)

See you in September!!

Wow, SusieMartin, that is impressive, I might try to record daily wt this month, because you can definately see a trend! Awesome job!

LouisaH-Let's blame it on the full moon....I did basically the same as you, It made no sense, but if we keep on trucking, we can be successes in the long run. besides, we have a new month just around the corner. New month=new beginning! how about it?

Popcorngal-I think 5 pounds in a month is a success! just because you didn't reach your goal doesn't make it a total failure, at least you made progress! slow and steady wins the race. Keep at it.

SW: 247.2
CW: 249.2 (+2)
GW: 230's

I GAINED +2 LBS this month.

Twelve days of clean eating, complete, goal met! Yay! As a bonus I've exercised almost every day, too.

LEWISEMPIRE: are you starting a September Weight Loss thread?

Good evening, ladies! Here's the link for the new month's challenge thread http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...ml#post3461945. Sorry for the delay. No real excuse, just enjoying the last day with my kids before school starts. Hope to see you all in the new thread for another month working toward our goals!

so i made my exercise goal, but not my size. It's ok, cause sometimes it takes longer to actually drop a size. :)
