The 189 is sticking, yay! :cp:

Tuscany, I'm so glad the scale moved for you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you to drop that last pound! I hope we get good news on Turtle now! And yes, we have a great group here! I just hope the other thread doesn't confuse any newbies who first post here or first post there. If they aren't paying close attention, they will think their posts have disappeared!

Edited to add: Turtle, there you are! I'm so glad you have dropped some, but I'm still going to nag that whoosh fairy! :D And congrats on the compliments by F&F! Sometimes our bodies show the weight loss that the scale doesn't!

I thought I had a good week but only down .4 but I'll take it-its moving in the right direction

9/11-187.4
9/18-184.4
9/25-184
its going to be a kick-butt week!!

Great attitude, Sara! Have a wonderful week! :yes:

Thanks Emme. I’m happy too. I am just so looking forward to being out of the 230’s!!
Thank you, cheeriloos
Woo hoo, Tuscany! Awesome!
Jacqui, hope all is well :)
Yay, Turtle! That is weird for me too. People say they notice and I stay the same weight but I know for me, inches always move faster than the scale. Looks like the same for you. Good job!

Jacqui: Glad to hear 189 is sticking...188 here we come!

Joy: I can’t wait until I too am in maintenance…congrats on getting back there.

Emme: Nice loss. My fingers are crossed that you shed at least a half pound this morning, and then we can celebrate!

cheeriloos: I hope today is better than yesterday… just hop right back on the horse.

fluffygrover: Another nice loss…you’ll soon be in the 220’s. Don’t you love getting to a new decade?

Sara: Great attitude and good progress considering the last two weeks combined. Good luck in your kick-butt week!

I worked things out with Avezy44 who started an early October Weightloss Challenge thread and we're going to hop on over there on October 1. I'll put up a goal list that day so that it will feel like normal. Any one who is struggling with September is welcome to get started over there. For the rest us, let's finish this month strong!

I guess mommy whoosh fairy came to pick up her baby! Hope it sticks

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I haven't been around this month. I am in over my head with my kids and their activities. I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off daily. I have upped my eating and cut back on workouts and have met and exceeded my goal for Sept.

Cw- 160
Goal- 162
150's here I come!


:congrat: Muses, Sum, Jacqui, Joy, Cincorn and Emme on making goal!!

Tuscany, you are so close! I loved your eating low calorie and adding an extra workout to shake things up... 1lb wahoo! I hope you had a good visit with your daughter. I've been thinking about you all month! :hug:

Turtle, I hope you see a whoosh soon!

Have a great day!

Had a healthy breakfast and lunch, went to Zumba and I'm drinking my water and tea hoping to hit goal by the 30th!!

Zoinks! I ate well yesterday, too! Oh well, it just goes to show you that your body just does what it wants, when it wants. Time to keep on movin' forward.

188.5 this morning! Woohoo! I thought for sure I'd be back up to 190, because I ate a BIG ol' steak for dinner last night. I was so stuffed. I kept telling myself to stop eating but it was one of those things when it just tasted so good! I kept telling myself, "Okay, I'll have just one more bite" and I kept having one more bite till it was all gone! I'm glad proteins don't hold water like carbs do! :hun:

Lene! I'm so glad to see you back!!! :hug: Congrats on making goal! :carrot:

Joy, oh good, I'm glad the October thread is worked out. It's best just to have one monthly thread to avoid confusion. Great job! :D

Turtle, yay! :yay: I'm so happy that the whoosh fairy finally showed up properly! Let's hope she hangs out for a while!

Tuscany, so close! I know you'll get there! :cp:

Emme, I bet with that rise you're about to get a drop, right into Onederland! C'mon Whoosh Fairy, throw a little pixie dust Emme's way! :wizard:

Cheeri, my fingers are crossed for you! You can do it! :crossed:

MzShaunna, keep working at it! You're not far off at all!

Yay! Jacqui, that's awesome ! Keep it going !!

Thanks Cheeri! :hug:

Great news! I just got back from jeans shopping, and I've dropped 2 sizes! I've gone from a tight 18 to a comfortable 14! Yay! Things like that are even more fun than stepping on the scale with a whoosh! :dance:

Hello everyone we are soooo close to October its crazy!! I didnt do to well weight wise but I knew that it was coming. TOM should be here this weekend and I have been super snackie. Im trying to stick with good snacks but you all know how it is. Went up .5 pounds which is frustrating but I know that I can get it off. I also added another routine to my workouts. Mon., Wed., and Fri. I walk on the treadmill at 3.0-3.5 MPH for at least 2 miles. This week on Tues. and Thurs. I added a stability ball workout. Its only for 15 min but it hurt so good;)

Lene: Welcome back! :hug: When I saw you hadn’t posted in a while, I was worried that your new diet strategy hadn’t worked and you’d fallen off the wagon, so to speak. Congratulations on surpassing your September goal. I’m SO happy for you and good luck getting into the 150’s! I had a fabulous time with my daughter and her fiancé, especially in Italy since the weather was fabulous and I’d never been there before. The weather in the UK was as per usual for September – cold and rainy. On the plus side, though, that gave us an excuse to stay inside, which translated into shopping! I bought a new jacket and a new suit, plus we found my daughter’s wedding dress and shoes. So, all in all, a great vacation!

Turtle: Yeah for the mommy whoosh fairy! You’re now at a new low. I hope the downward trend continues and that you’ll soon join Lene in the 150’s!

Jacqui: Enjoying a steak and losing a half pound is a fabulous combination, and dropping two sizes is a terrific result!

Joy: That’s a sensible solution to the errant October thread.

Emme: Sometimes the scales just have a mind of their own… that’s generally when I give them a stern lecture! :)

cheeriloos: Good luck getting to goal in these last few days… you’re now doing all the right things.

Amanda: Often the non-scale goals are the more important ones, since they’re what will see us through in the long run. Keep up the good work!

cincorn: Congratulations on making goal! :bravo:

Still at 188.5. :D

SouthernBell, congrats on the non-scale victories! And great job on the exercise! :woops:

Cincorn, congrats on the extra lb down! :cp:

Tuscany, thanks! And I love your intro, lol! I agree, yay, Lene's back! :dance:

Turtle, another lb down! :woohoo: Keep it up, Whoosh Fairy!

Joy, looking good below 77! :flow2:

Leah, I don't know if you are going to be on today, but :bday2you:!!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still around. I got my TOM yesterday and my weight is back up to 66.5-ish (I used metric scales instead of digital this morning lol). Fingers-crossed it comes down in a few days. If it doesn't, then it's time to get back into a more strict diet plan again! :D

I fell off the bandwagon this week. It was super stressful and I reached a point of do I relapse with a certain something else or binge. Binge won out because I didn't even want to go there with the other thing. I've also been having really severe migraines but I continued going to school and work. I picked up a couple extra shifts this week because we had one woman (who works opposite schedule of me) quit for no reason. And then yesterday my coworkers got me a giant cookies-n-cream caramel apple from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory for my birthday and it was delicious. Today is my birthday and I'm gonna eat whatever because not worrying about it is my gift to myself. But I still feel really sick just from the amount of stress I've had. Hopefully I can take it easy today but I also need to do a lot of laundry because it's my first day home and off in awhile.

I plan to get back on track either tomorrow or Monday.

This morning the scale fluctuated between 144.25 and 144.50…hard to say, but I will record the higher number. I now need to lose another half (or quarter) pound by tomorrow. So it’s back to a light lunch plus an extra long walk for me today, in the hopes of shaking things up again. Fingers crossed!

Turtle: Way to go Greyhound. Grandma whoosh fairy must have come looking for Momma. You’ve had three generations of whoosh fairies this week. Look out October and the 150’s...here comes Turtle!

Jacqui: I’d say you’ve now left the 190’s behind…never to be seen again…way to go!

Joy: You’re back to below goal…good job!

Leah: A belated Happy Birthday. I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad week and I wish you good luck getting back on track.

Rhiko: I hope you drop a few pounds (or kg!) once TOM is over.

I can't believe that the final weigh in for September is tomorrow!! I think I'll be happy to start a new month, September was a little bit of a dud for me :p.

Happy Belated Birthday Leah :gift: Birthdays are free in my opinion, that cake sounds awesome.

Tuscany - keeping my fingers crossed for you! You are sooo close

Lene - come back and do October with us!!!!!!

Jacqui - I believe you have successfully left those 190s in the dust... and dropping 2 jean sizes..... just awesome. I'm a little scared to go and try on some new pairs. I've ventured into some of my smaller clothing, but they seem to fit differently than when I used to wear them.

Rhiko - 3rd/4th day of TOM I seem to get a whoosh, I'm sure you will too.

Emme & cicorn - you guys are soooo close to onederland.

cheeriloos - I'm sure the green tea and zumba will work, your so close to your 10 lb goal!

Joy - congrats on goal!!

southern - awesome job with those workout, 3-3.5 mph is a really fast walk. I've never used a stability ball, is that for core workouts?

WOWZER! The WOOSH fairy finally appears!

200.4 this morning. That is -10 lb.s for September for me if I can maintain it and SO CLOSE to ONEderland!

Also, only 2 lb.s away from a big milestone---50 lb. weight loss!:carrot::carrot::carrot:

It would sure be nice to end the month under goal. It could happen. I'm achy today from walking around a small town for 3 hours yesterday taking photos during a street photography workshop. I'll drink lots of water today and stretch to see if my muscles want to release.

The scales moved a bit for me this week finally :)

Weigh in last Sunday, 250.8
Today, Sunday 248.4

I made one of those weight charts from Lily to post here but it is not working for me

B F R

Cheat day yesterday, so I was 190.5 this morning. That's how my diet works, so it's fine!

Turtle and Tuscany, I'm almost out of the 190's, lol! Thanks for the wishful thinking! :D

Leah, I hope things start getting better for you! :hug:

Rhiko, hopefully the scale will move for you soon! :crossed:

Cincorn, a big congrats! 10 lbs is awesome! :cp:

Joy, you've already made goal, but I do hope the scale jumps back down for you to reflect it (for me too)! :yes:

BFR, yay on the 2.4 lbs down! :spin:

Thank you Tuscany, Turtle11 and Jacqui_D for thinking about me. I had a whoosh this morning! 65.3! :D :carrot::carrot::carrot:

I have a feeling I'm going to bounce back up tomorrow, but I'll take it!

Congratulations to everyone else who either made their goals or have been well on track to achieving them! Good luck for next month.


P.S. Will a link be posted in here for the October thread?

Turtle~Yes I think that it is a mostly core workout but SparkPeople has a good 15 min routine that also works the arms and legs. I am not quite as steady on it yet so I'm sure I look pretty ridiculous doing the push ups with the ball under my thighs and legs way up in the air. Thank goodness nobody was home ;)

I met my goal earlier on this month and then a binge happened and I have been trying to undo the damage for the past week.

I lost 4.6/6 pounds. I am grateful that I had a loss. Since June it has been non stop gaining for me.

I am thankful for these challenges! :love:

Shaking things up worked again and I made goal! As of yesterday, I needed to lose a ½ lb to get to goal. So, I had a light lunch and I took an extra long walk (9.5 km). This morning, the scale registered another 1 lb loss, and I ended the month at 143.5, slightly below goal.

Turtle: You’re right – September hasn’t been the greatest month for you, but you hung in there despite the poor results. Good job! Here’s hoping that October is your month to shine.

Jacqui & Joy: Fingers crossed for both of you to get back to goal for month’s end!

Sum: Congrats on turning things around and getting back on track this month.

Rhiko: Yeah whoosh fairy!

cincorn: Great result. I wish you luck getting to ONEderland and dropping 50 lbs…both are terrific milestones!

BFR: Nice loss for the week. I can’t help you with the Lily Slim. I did mine in my siggy, but I can no longer remember how I did it. Perhaps you might post a question in the Forum Help section.

Good luck to everyone with your final September weigh-in today!

Thanks for all the support this month everyone! I’m happy with my 3 lb loss. I was on plan for about half the month, and maintaining for the other half, so it is exactly what I was hoping for. Hope to see everyone in October :hat:

Congrats Tuscany for meeting goal!!!! Plus it was a nice whoosh!

Sum – great job on the loss this month, 4.6 lbs is awesome

Cincorn – 50 lbs is an inspiring milestone. Will you do anything special?!?

BFR – congrats on the downward movement :)

Rhiko – nice whoosh. I think someone started an October thread early, and we will just go to that one next? I’m probably going to post over there after this one.

Sourthern – I love sparkpeople, that’s what I track my calories on. I may have to look around at their exercises. I’ve been doing Jullian Michaels videos and I LOVE the little muscles I have on the sides of my stomach from the core building (even though they are covered by some chubs). I might have to get a ball.

Jacqui – hope that .5 lb disappears, but you are rocking this month regardless :D

Joy – You've already met goal, I'm sure its just water weight. Keeping fingers crossed it comes off for your final weigh in.
