We had a similar thread in June to lose 10pounds by July 1st, some of us lost all the 10pounds, some lost a few while some gained, in it all we were focused and determined!

To continually get support from one another, we've decided to start a similar thread for August.

If you're interested, come and join in, we need your support! All you need do is post your starting weight as at July 1st and your goal weight and weigh in weekly (choose the day most convenient for you). You can share tips on how you're shedding off the weights and even ask for support when it looks like the scales are not moving.

We are counting on everyone's support and hoping that we will faithfully kick off more of the weights in August.

Cheers

I'm joining in... I would LOVE to be 197 or less by August 1st.

I would like to join please; thank you for starting this thread.

i will join, currently 237 and would love to be 227 by august 1st!

Count me in! I would LOVE to be 240 or less by August 1st. Will do my "Official" weigh and record tomorrow, July 1st!

I am in - CW-225 - Looking for 215 by Aug 1... I weigh on Tuesdays usually...just for consistency

Hey all! You're all welcome, together we can shed the pounds in the next one month. We will all be giving and getting all the encouragement and support that we need, please feel free to share what you're going through, you never can tell, someone else might just be going through the same situation!

One VERY IMPORTANT advice: DO NOT GIVE UP IF IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WON'T ACHIEVE THE 10POUNDS TARGET OR YOU'RE NOT LOSING WEIGHT OR EVEN GAINING WEIGHT, just imagine what would have happened if you were not eating healthy or exercising!

All said, i hope to see you all in the course of this challenge. Like i said in the previous challenge, it's not my thread, it's our thread and we're here for one another.

I would love to join! Today I weighed in at 197.2 but I will do my official weigh in tomorrow, July 1st.

Ok the official weigh-in is 196.4 lbs so 10 pounds would be 186.4...that will be awesome!

I would like to join. I am currently 226 and expect it to to be the same tommorrow 7/1/11 because I just finished a whoosh yesterday.

216 is a great mini goal for 8/1/11

Count me in. I have been maintaining a 112-120 lb weight loss for almost 10 years but I really need to drop 8 lbs in order to fit back into my school clothes(I'm a teacher). In service starts August 1st so this is perfect. I'm currently at 145.8 and want to get back to 138lbs.

I eat extremely healthy already so my goal is to up my exercise intensity.

I'd love to lose 10 lbs by Aug. 1. CW 223.2 GW 213.2, I'd really like to get to 211.4- 10% off

Count me in. Would love to be 200 August 1st. 199 would knock my socks off.

I really want to join in. I need to (re)lose about 20lbs and want to lose quite a lot of it before September when I am planning a holiday. BUT - I have a problem - I cannot make myself get on the scales in case it sets me off on a compensatory "self-pity binge"!

Can I be a part of this without knowing what I weigh? I just can't do it. The very thought has me craving chocolate.

Anyhoo I will lurk and see how everyone is getting on.

I'm going to join. I need whatever extra motivation I can get. I will update my weight tomorrow, which happens to be my official weigh-in day anyway.
