Hi you guys! :dizzy:

I made a slight hash of this challenge this month as I changed my plan and weigh-in day a week ago :D I'll be all set for August, though.

I think i was at 278 last time I posted... I'm now at 274.5 so 3.5lbs loss. I don't think i'll make that additional 1.5 for this month but I think switching plans confused my body a bit :D Totally on it for August though. May try recording weight daily like many of you do as well. :dizzy:

:grouphug:

16th Jul: 278lbs
21 Jul (plan change): 276lbs
28 Jul: 274.5lbs

I'm down another half lb! :carrot: I have half a lb to go and 3 more days to make it to goal! Keep your fingers crossed for me! :crossed: C'mon scale!

My water weight is up a little today, but I'm feeling pretty good! I've lost 5 lbs this month! If this keeps up I'll be down a size before I know it.

Well my weigh in with slimming world had me 1lb up. :( not surprised as my home scales gained as soon as I went onto the anti-biotics but came back down this morning.
They do have me at 10lb loss in 4 weeks... so that I'm proud of. :)

Am not going to do the daily weighing in August, will join you all but weigh weekly on their scales. :) trying to wean myself off the addiction of daily weighing. lol it won't be easy!

Well done everyone!

iDream Great job on your vacation, good to have you back, you inspire!

LovelyLeah and Delphi congrats to both of you on your upcoming nuptials. How exciting.

Joy thanks again for the thread, this one and the exercise challenge, I can't express how much I appreciate the work you do to keep it going every month.

Hey folks. I've been away from home on some family things but back and so ready for the August challenge. I am happy to report, I hit my goal for the month of 5 pounds as well as FINALLY getting back to my ticker weight/pre-vacation weight. :cheer: So proud of you gals. Love seeing all that red.

Its so nice to be back at home. I have really taken control of my diet and exercise is kicking in high gear. Can't wait to catch up with you guys and start the new challenge. Sure hope you guys are having an excellent day.

Good morning girls!! It's almost Friday!! :carrot: I can't believe it's almost the end of the month!! Wow, this month has flown by!

Gardenerjoy ~ Congrats on the new low! I completely get how not checking in daily can be damaging...that's the first thing I stop doing too, first a day, a week, then a month, a year...five...so yeah, best to keep posting daily! :) (btw, Delphi hit her 5 lb goal as well. :) )

LovelyLeah ~ hurray on getting the laptop back soon and the loss too! :)

Lovemylife ~ Thanks!! I love your sunshiny posts!! :)

Ms.Tibbles ~ Congrats on the loss! You will kill it next month for sure!! Weighing daily is tricky, you'll see lots of fluctuations and some days you'll want to throw the scale against the wall. However, going into it knowing that the scale does not reflect everything is key. Just because the number goes up, does not mean that you are getting bigger, it means your body is changing. It might mean you are retaining water, it might mean that TOM is on the way, it might mean you didn't eat enough and your body isn't giving it up easily...just keep eating on plan, exercising and that scale will move eventually. I find it helps me to stay motivated, that's why I weigh daily. Other people find it discourages them so they weight weekly/monthly. Do whatever works for you, just know we'll be here to cheer you on! :cheer:

JacquiD ~ :cheer: :cheer2: :cheer: :Bravo: I KNEW you could do it!! :woohoo: Congratulations!!!

Magistra ~ You go girl! Yup, that size change will be here before you know it!! :)

PurpleJ ~ So long as you keep coming here, we don't care if you weigh daily/weekly/monthly. :) You've had a fantastic month!! Keep up the amazing work!

Kelijpa ~ Thanks so much! I am with you, this group is amazing and I am so thankful that after five years gone that it is still going strong and that even though it's a different group of girls for the most part, the spirit is still the same. :)

Berryblondeboys ~ sometimes cake has magical properties, I swear! :lol: I was down the day after the wedding--I give credit to the cake (or the wine...or both ;) )! Glad to hear that pesky water is going bye-bye!

HIheart ~ :welcome: since I haven't said it yet. :) You have done a great job this month!! Congratulations!! :carrot:

Delphi ~ girrrrrl I was about to hunt you down on FB if I didn't see you here!! :lol: So glad that all is well!! Congratulations on making goal! :woohoo: I never had a doubt! :D Have you started the new job yet? If so, how's it going? Are the boys back to school yet, or have you got some more time still? So glad you're back!! We missed you girlie!

unwanted37 ~ Congratulations on making your new goal!! :carrot: Great job!!!

So...it's almost the end of the month ladies!!:carrot: Has everyone got their August Goal figured out? :) I am still trying to figure out my exercise goal...ending the month before the end of the week messes with my weird exercise OCD a bit. Why can't every month end on a Saturday so my workouts can be switched up yet still be completed? :lol:

Not much to report here, TOM has finally left the building so that's good. Hubs has been out of town all week and will be home tomorrow. I've still been struggling with the dang time change and overslept by a ton today...but on the upside, I doubt I'll be falling asleep before dinner like the past two days. ;) The kids and I are gearing up to start school next week and I need to have a fire lit under me to clean up the office! I met our new neighbors last night and it turns out that a few years back I actually met her through a local moms group online and went to her house for a playdate! I would have never recognized her, but she remembered me because of my twins. :lol: Small, small world. Thankfully she seems cool and her kids seem sweet (we've had issues with neighbor kids in the past, so this a good thing!). Other than that, not much else is going on, same ol' same ol'. I am so very glad to be able to check in here daily again! You ladies ROCK and I am so very glad that his group is still alive and kicking!!
Have a fantastic day girls and be sure to DRINK YOUR WATER!!! :D

Woo hoo to everyone who made GOAL!!!!!

Darn it - I think the cake is making me keep the water - even though I'm still at my calorie allotment.

Sandye, thanks! :) It sounds like you are staying busy with school right around the corner! Good job on finding the energy to go from vacation "lag" mode straight into work mode! :cp:

Unwanted37lbs, congrats on reaching a new decade! And it looks like you are going to reach your second goal for the month! :yay:

Purple, wow!!! That's fantastic! :bravo:

Keli, aw, thank you! :hug: You know, I was so happy to see you still here when I came back to 3FC. I was so dumb for leaving for over a year! You may go up and down with maintenance sometimes, but you didn't gain all your weight back and then some, so you should be very proud of yourself for your good decisions! I'm sure proud of you! :yes:

Delphi, CONGRATS on making GOAL! :carrot: :broc: :cb:

HIheart, woohoo on the lbs lost this month! You came awfully close to goal, so great job! :trampo:

Thank you Mars!!! :D

Jacqui - Well done on making your goal!! Fanstastic losses.

Yay, Delphi, too!

Well, 0.3 for the month, but started a good exercise plan and halfway through c25k, and got back on my eating plan, so not bad for summer, festival and bbq season, feel like I dodged the 180s, they were getting scary close.

Congrats to everyone who made their goals and everyone who stuck around even if they weren't making it, best of luck and good wishes to everyone for our August goals!! :congrat: :grouphug:

Best to all :sunny:

Good Morning Everyone:wave:

My usual weigh in is Saturday but weighed in this morning because it's the end of the month.

Official weight loss for the month is 6.8lbs, so close, but still a good number. Looking forward to August challenge:)

So it's over - starting weight was 163.8, goal 154. I reached 156.8 - not my goal, but I'm still happy as I managed to break a plateau and lose 7 lbs. :) Hoping to lose the last 2.8 lbs soon - let that be my next mini-goal. :)

Thank you gardernerjoy for keeping us updated!

Morning ladies. So happy to see so much progress made in July whether you met goal or not. I am definitely ready to start the August thread and get back to a regular schedule.

Sandye ~ :lol: I know right. You know where to find me. I like that I can post all my runkeeper stuff to facebook as well. Keeps me honest. I haven't started work yet. A third party handles all the background screening, drug test etc and it has been a process. I'm supposed to officially start training August 10th which coincides with the boys going back to school. So, we will definitely be back into the swing of things around here. I am just going to have to find time to come here and exercise once I start but I'm trying to plan ahead at least while I know my training schedule which will be at least for 8 weeks. In any case, how are you guys settling in from vacation? Done with those weeds yet?

Alright, I'm going to head over the August thread and set my goals for August. See you wonderful folks over there.

Good morning and TGIF ladies!!! :jig::cb::dance::dancer::carrot:

Lovelyleah ~ Woo hoo on the laptop! I bet you're thrilled to finally get it back!

berryblondeboys ~ You are absolutely correct, that is just water weight, you'll be rid of it soon! I love that you're not letting the numbers get you down--WTG!! :)

Unwanted37 ~ Great job on the loss this month! Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll finish out the month at goal! :)

JacquiD ~ You are doing fantastic!! Look at you go! :woohoo:

Kelijpa ~ You are so right! With all the things summer has brought your way, you are doing a great job!! I might be starting up the C25K again...maybe...I'm not a huge fan of running, so we'll see. Maybe you can talk me into it? ;)

lovemylife ~ :carrot: Great job on the loss!! 6.8 lbs is nothing to sneeze at! You should be very proud!! :)

pigeon ~ Wonderful job this month!!

Delphi ~ Well...no. The weeds are still there. It was just too hot and honestly...I just don't care enough about it. :lol: Enjoy this last week of down time before life starts back up again full force. We're finally getting back on track after vacation, the time change has been the hardest part and something I desperately need to work on for me. I put school off for one more week when I realized that I need more time to tweak D's workload a bit. He'll be a freshman this year and we have some make up to do, so he'll have a lot more on his plate. (which means I will too)

Well, I got to goal (by quite a bit) and then "lost it" with vacation weight gains, but that just means it will make it easier for next month, right?

Well done everyone who made goal, but also those who didn't ANY loss in the month of july is fantastic progress - heading in the right direction.

VickiLou I'm sure you can get back to onderland soon :)

July 1st weigh in - 222

Goal - 216
End Weight 7/31 - 219.6

This was a rough month for me, still good but not so much on the scale, a few non-scale victories under my belt though (fitting into a size 16 Levi's jeans, getting a compliment about my weight loss from a sales associate I adore at Sephora <3, going from XL to L in a few shirts, etc.) not too bad, but August I can do better, keep going everyone! :carrot:

Congrats to everyone who reached goal, to VickieLou for reaching Onederland :bravo: and to each one of you for working hard to be a healthier you! :cp: See you in the August thread! :D
