  • Argh! I forgot to weigh today! I almost made it the whole month. Oh well, I found out what I wanted to know. It really helps for me to weigh every day. In July, I went off the rails for a whole week. In August, the longest I went off the rails was two days. I get back on track much quicker if the scale is there to help me see that things are going out of whack.

  • I'm still here doing my thing, just SUPER DUPER BUSY at work as well... it's that time of the year.

    Weight loss is extremely slow this month and I think its because of a change in my thyroid meds about 5 weeks ago, but... it's still going down!

  • This has been an awful month. I kept re-gaining and losing the same weight. I have been struggling to get back to Onderland. Maybe, I will get back to it tomorrow. Good Luck, Everyone! I'm ready for a new month.

  • One more day in August! Definitely not hitting my goal, especially since I weekend cheated again. (I can follow my diet just fine and then when my hubby's off on sat/sun I can't help myself! Bah!)

    I'm okay with ending my August in about 10 pounds lost. That's successful in and of itself. September I'm not going to set it as high as 15 pounds, I'll probably set it for 10 pounds. I'll check in for the last day tomorrow with my final August weight. Good job everyone!! You are all doing great!
  • Well, I won't be hitting my goal this month, but there's always next month! I went to 2 birthday parties on my Carb Day yesterday and that did me in, lol! The good news is I am in no rush, so all is well!

    mydarlingqueen, 10 lbs gone is a wonderful month's achievement!

    VickieLou, you're so close! I hope you have a better month in September!

    Kymb92, woohoo! You broke into a new decade! Good for you!

    Joy, aw, I'm sorry you missed that one weigh-in! I actually forgot and started eating breakfast this morning before remembering I had to weigh, so I stopped before I got too far along and ran upstairs to get on the scale, lol! The last 3 days have been so hectic for me! Sitting here thinking about it, I realize I even forgot to take my vitamins this morning, and I doubt I'll make it to the gym today! Ugh! Hopefully tomorrow things will start going back to normal!

    BerryBB, yay on your weight going back down and continuing to go down!

    PrairieQueen, yay on your recent drops! You're doing great!

    Leah, I hope you feel better!

    Leopardspots, still looking good!

    Stren, CONGRATS on making GOAL!

    Unwanted37lbs, you are are fire! Your plan works so well for you!

    GettinFit, CONGRATS on making GOAL!

    Magistra, the good news is we always have next month!

    MsTibbles, CONGRATS on making GOAL!

    Lovemylife, CONGRATS on making GOAL!

  • I really have no idea if I met my goal of -10 pounds. I ended up having to be out of town for the last several days and used a different scale this morning. According to it, I lost only 1/2 pound this last week, which isn't my norm, but I've been sticking to my diet protocol and walking, so who knows.

    8/1 - 187
    8/7 - 184.75
