Tuscany I think you're right about the scale,lol I'm gonna start sweet talking mine, cleaning it and treating it right. That's also what I do for my car,I never speak poorly of my car in it's presence. Lol it might try to get back at me.. Congrats on the whoosh fairy visiting!

I'm going to try a change today -- instead of scooping up things like cereal and rice in the 1/2 cup, I'm going to use the 1/3 cup. That's worked for me in the past and I hardly notice, but the scale does.

Hi ladies, I can't believe this already has 6 pages!! I had so much fun reading everyone's posts. I'm back from the woods and gained some weight. I went for a 2 hour intense hike. We climbed to the top of a mountain, off path, over/under fallen trees, through brush. It was awesome! I was hoping that that would counteract any additional calories I might have eaten. Along with trying to stick to smaller portions and cleaner food but it appears it isn't the case. I think I'm going to have to re-evaluate what my food looks like on days I would "maintain".

My goal this month is to see the 150s It is a smaller goal than the last two months, but this is a busy month with anniversaries, birthdays and camping. So I'm going with 6 lbs.

Its so much fun to think how much smaller you will be if you hit your goal or get close by the end of the month

Good morning!

Yes, I am working on being stronger. When I was successful before it was when I lived on my own. My husband and I are trying to work on encouraging each other to not cheat but some days it just swings the other way entirely

Thanks for sending the woosh fairy this way cheerilos! She helped out quite a bit this morning, hopefully she comes back tomorrow morning as well lol

Turtle it sounds possible that the hiking and whatnot has you retaining water, not the food necessarily. Give your body a couple days to reach equilibrium and then decide if it was the food or not Either way I am glad you had a great time!

Tuscany I try to be nice to my scale... it works sometimes lol

lovelyleah sounds like you had a great time out with your friends. Good job for knowing when to stop on the alcohol!

Hi ladies! I would like to join if that's ok. I was part of 3FC a few years ago and I'm back after having my daughter a year ago. Now that I'm done breastfeeding I don't need extra calories, so I'm ready to hit it hardcore.

I do tend to do well and then self-sabotage, so I'm hoping to work through a lot of emotions in a healthy way.

I don't have a specific goal for September other than seeing the scale drop, but my goal overall is to lose 30 pounds by Christmas and I'm going to be calorie counting.

I weighed in this morning at 207.6 and there's nowhere to go but down from here!

Jumping into this! I lost a good amount of weight on last month's challenge (illness be damned). I'll set a more modest goal for September.

SW: 172
GW: 165

Joy, switching from 1/2 to 1/3 cup sounds like a smart plan. I hope it works for you this time around as well!

Turtle, glad you're back and that you had an awesome trip!

Pixikat, congrats on the drop! That is so wonderful that your DH and you are supportive of each other. I feel sorry for the chicks whose spouses are not in their corner and even worse for the ones whose spouses actually sabotage their progress! My DH is not on a diet, but he is very supportive of my diet, and he even walks with me in the mornings. I think I'll keep him.

Hi Emme! BACK! We will help keep you on the right path! All you have to do is keep coming here and posting so we'll know how you're doing! You might want to think of setting a small goal for September, maybe like 2 lbs, and that way you'll have something to shoot for short-term. If you meet it early, you can reset your goal for the month and try for more lbs. Or maybe you want to go ahead and try for something like 5-10 lbs right off the bat! As long as you stay on plan, you should lose some weight this month! Good luck!

Tray, smart move with the more modest goal!

You are right. I get so nervous setting up goals because I tend to self-sabotage, but I'm going to go for it. I would like to lose 4 pounds by the end of September.

Hi All,

I wanna join too, would be lovely if this would work.
Im ready to try. I wanna lose 10 pounds end of september. It will be my birthday then, i wanna party and wear a lovely dress

Start Weight: 161.3
Goal Weight: 125

9/3: 161.3

I will weigh in everyday. Whohoo Excited

Welcome angelique and welcome back emme! good luck with your goals!

I'm proud of you, Emme! We're here for you! If you think you are going to self-sabotage, if you start feeling the urge, come on here instead! 4 lbs is a very reasonable goal and you can do it!

Angelique! Good luck!

I really hope I'm consistent this month! I have lost a little bit of motivation but hopefully this thread will push me. I'm going to weigh in once weekly. I'm starting at 134.5 and hoping to get down to 130 by the end of the month. I'll weigh once every 3 days so about twice a week.
