August Weight Loss Challenge
 

Off the pounds go in August! Our monthly weight loss challenge is a great place to track your progress every month.

State your goal for August and join a supportive and encouraging group to help you meet it. We will compile our goals into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

Join us at our sister thread, the http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html, to track your fitness goals.

Hello :) I hope August will be as good as July for me :) I lost 11lbs in July.
My goal for August to be 169lbs ( to see that "6" in the middle).

Aug 1: 179
Aug 4: 177.8
Aug 6: 177.2
Aug 10: 175.4

Aug 31: 169.0

I'm also hoping August is as good as July. I reached my goal, plus one pound. (8 lbs)
AUGUST:

SW: 180
GW: 172
Hoping to go for another 8 lbs this month.

Yay, August! I'm shooting for the 130s finally; we'll see how it goes.

SW: 144.4
GW: 139.8

I had a really successful July and hoping for the same for August. My goal is 6.8 pounds.

SW: 185.8
GW: 179

SW: 189
GW: 182.6 (will bring me to a total of 50 pounds lost!!!)
-6.4 pounds

It's a stretch for me, but an exciting goal!

Wow, I can't believe it's august already!

This time I'm resisting the urge to set a goal under 80. My goal will be to lose 3kgs, which is achievable but still a good challenge. Good luck to us all!

SW: 83,5 kgs
GW: 80,5 kgs

This is my first challenge so I'm not sure how much is too much, my head says it wants 10lbs but that might be too much so I'm going to go with 8

SW: 168
GW: 160

If I can lose this 2.9 lbs in August, I will be only 2.5 lbs away from my goal :) Since I lost 3.4 in July, this should be a breeze, right?

My goal is 10 pounds for August!!
SW: 160
GW: 150

Good luck everyone!!!

Edit: I feel it would be healthier if I lost 8 pounds this month. I'm too scared to gain so I think that's more realistic!

SW: 160
GW: 152

My start weight has changed as my weight went up a bit today. I want to lose 3kgs. So now it is:
Start weight: 83.8 kgs
Goal weight: 80.8 kgs

I did not make my July goal, but I am determined to do better this month. My goal is a modest 4 pound loss for Agust. Come on Betty, surely you can do that! Right?

Start Weight: 174.0
Goal: 170.0

7/31: 174.0

My goal for Aug will be to get into the 200's, so looking to lose 25 lbs

Alrighty.

My start weight for August is 297.4. So my goal is 8.4 pounds to get to 289.

With all the traveling and moving prep stuff (packing, cleaning, etc) this will either be a breeze (if I can keep my eating under control) or it will be a bust because I'll only want to eat junk due to stress. We'll see how it goes.

:crossed:

5lbs.

SW: 184.4
GW: 179.4

Hi! I'm new to the board :) Would like to join in the challenge!

Would like to be 148.3! So 10 lbs! Not sure if that's too much, but will try my very best!
