  • It's finally September! My August 31st weight which is what I'm starting with...

    ...


    I'm going to be VERY good on my diet until Friday. Because this weekend we're going on a roadtrip and that'll be impossible to follow a diet on. Our trip is 16 hours away!! and then back, that's 32 hours of drive time! We're leaving Friday night and will be there Saturday evening (around 5 or 6) and then are going to have all of Sunday to chill and leave first thing Monday morning! It'll be worth it though, it's to see friends we haven't seen in over 6 years.

    pigeon: and the loss begins!

    Unwanted37: I know what you mean, I am excited to be aiming at 180 because it's been at least 3-4 years since I've been that! Good luck!

    XleviX- Rooting for you!

    kymb92: You can do it!

    Delphi: Happy September! We can totally do this!

    Berryblondeboys- that's so crazy. I have no clue what's up with my cycle. I THOUGHT I ovulated about 3 weeks ago because of cramping, bloated, etc but TOM still hasn't showed up. TMI but yesterday my CM pointed at ovulation. So I'm like huh? I'm on like day 50. So I feel you with frustrations with TOM! that drop is amazing!


    HereIStand- You can do it!

    Econ Nerd- that's totally awesome! You've got this!

    gardenerjoy- thanks again for doing this!

    Raining- I'm aiming for 183 as well! Good luck and I hope we both get there! (you have a better chance than me, my goal is double yours)

  • Here we go! Good luck, EVERYONE!

    Because my Carb Day on Saturday caused me to gain 3.5 lbs of water weight and it's in the process of coming back off, I'm going to use my pre-Carb Day weight of 187 as my start weight. I want to lose 5 lbs from that, so...

    SW: 187

    That sounds exactly like me. I'm on day 45 of or something crazy... and I thought I had maybe ovulated, but then nothing. Then a few days ago, like you, CM and my "mood" was letting me know that I was gearing up for ovulation "again". This time I did - so the whoosh I have been waiting for for like a month is FINALLY happening... All that water.. for WHAT?
  • Alright. Finally home and we have a start weight of 221. So I am shooting for 212 by months end. Will be buying a wedding dress this month, soon here's to some smooth sailing with the losses.

    that's crazy. I think my doctor mentioned that with irregular cycles you go through "missed" ovulations where it attempts to ovulate and doesn't so it goes through another surge later on.. if you take ovulation sticks you'll actually see more than one surge in your cycle sometimes. It sure is annoying.. I have PCOS, so I'm thinking it's another cyst that has TOM so crazy.

    For me it's my age. I'm 45 so my cycles aren't like clockwork any more. I've always had the pattern of holding water before ovulation, but I never had a pattern this long and spread out with no losses while my body tries to do what to supposed to do but is getting too old to do.
  • WOW, I can't believe it's already September.

    My goal for this month is to lose 5 pounds.

    Oh gotcha, I'd say the longer without an AF the better, eh? hehe I'm 22 and if I wasn't wanting more children down the road, I'd be asking for menopause, I already get all the symptoms of it (hot flashes, mood swings, etc) but still end up with a brutal AF. PCOS is awful! It was awful trying to get pregnant with my daughter because of all this, ended up having to take fertility drugs. Took 19 months! That last month I told my doctor, "this is it, after this round I'm stopping and will just try to get some weight off and try again in 6 months." He said, "Ok, see you in 6 months" you should've seen his face a few months later when he came in for a prenatal check up, he was like, "so I guess that cycle did it then?"
  • September goal lose 3.5
