You guys.. we are totally kicking fat this month!!

Tuscany - I bet you see a 6 tomorrow or the next day!!

Lene - Thanks for the missed messages Surprisingly the beer and burger weren't that good. I've actually started losing my taste for some things. Its wierd. My hubby and I will talk about what we want for dinner and I don't want the ususal go to stuff that I used to. Somewhat annoying because now I am having to recreate dinners.

But this is actually going to be one of my August goals (and one tonight), to design easy, cheap, healthy dinners that the hubby and I both like. Maybe two new ones a week. I thought my cravings might change, but not after only two months.

Jacqui - Welcome!! can't wait to have you in the August challenge with us

I'm not going to make my goal, but for the first time in months, I am showing a net loss!

Hi Jacqui! I was on Fullsteam's challenges 08- beginning of 09. Urockmom, SB sass, Christian and so many others... What a great group!

I'm excited you are getting on board for next month! We are going to rock August!


Jazzy, a loss is a loss! Great job!

Hi Lene! Yes, of course I remember you! I added you many times to the list, lol! Oh, I loved those ladies! It was a fun group, and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone here now. Thanks for the welcome! It's good to be back!

Hi Jazzy! I'm so glad to see you're still here too! I agree with Lene: a loss is a loss!

Lene: Great NSV's in July and a pretty decent weight loss too! And, I agree, we have a great group here. We're ready to do some damage in August.

Turtle: You eliminated most of the beer damage and got back to below goal...way to go! I hope my scale listens to you and gives me a 6 soon. I'm getting bored with the 7...perhaps tomorrow.

JazzyPeggy: Congratulations on your first net loss...that's wonderful.

Welcome, Jacqui...looking forward to having you around in August!

Hi Positive: Hope all is well with you too.

I had my usual gigantic 0.25 lb loss this morning. I didn't make July's goal, but I am now firmly in the 150's PLUS I've passed the halfway mark in my weight loss journey...and I'm happy about that.

I got up this morning, and a big Woosh. I made my goal!!!

Thanks Tuscany! Congrats Jazzy!

Congrats Jazzy on making goal!
Awesome job Positive, Lene and Tuscany (congrats on halfway mark!!!!), really substantial losses!

I made my goal weight of 173 and had a total loss of 8 lbs this month, and I feel great, really really great. I was hoping for another little dip because I was the same weight last Wednesday, but extremely happy with the big picture.

Looking forward to August

Last week I reached my goal but I lost another 2.4 pounds this week! Feeling good

Total weight lost in July = 7.2 pounds

I'm calling my goal to re-establish my healthy lifestyle habits met. I'm even willing to weigh myself tomorrow for the first time in weeks. It will be up, but now I feel like I can do what it takes to get it back where I want it to be.

Jacqui_D: so great to meet you! I've often wondered about how these threads started. So wonderful to get some history. I've been running the Weight Loss thread for a year or so and the Exercise one for longer than that. These two threads get so much credit for my success!

Congrats to jm474, Turtle11, JazzyPeggy, and me!
