I just want to say thanks to everyone who is participating!!!! I see posts of some people who are expecting to lose 5lbs a week, which makes me think "Is that really what the normal is?" (I think I've also been clouded by diet pill ads...loose 30lbs in 6 weeks...yeah right!)

Seeing everyone here lets me know that 8lbs in a month is PERFECTLY normal and healthy!

So far this month I'm down 6 and am hoping for a couple more by 8/1! Question though...my official WI day is Thursday. Do I count that day or 8/1 for the challenge?

7 lbs down only 3 to go! Not sure if I will make it to ten but I am really excited about how well I have done this month :-)

It is very good. Wtloss depends on age, your activity level and diet.
I have lost 3.4 lb so far this month. But, i am 59 years old. Had always good habits of eating. The mistake i was doing, was not eating proteins.
So it is fine for me.
I am happy with myself. I am givIng 1 full year for mysef to attain my goal weight that is 130lb. I intend to be 130 in june,12.
About 40weeks and 39 lbs to loose. I may maintain for 45days frrom 9thoct 11, as i am planning to go to India.
I wmay set new goals after i return.
Idea is to happily loose for ever!!!

Hello everyone, how're we all doing? We've 4days more to go! Let's not lose the heat in these final days, rather, let's put in all the efforts we can to get the best out of the remaining days.

Keep keeping it real!

Start: 172.2
Last Week: 166.6
This Week: 167.4
Loss for Week: None...gained .8 pound.
Total Loss for Month: 4.8

I had weighted a few days ago and was 165, was so pleased!...and now this.

Upped my exercise, stayed on plan. Even the KFC I worked into my plan, and only went over by 100 calories.

I don't think I'll lose the ten pouns by the 1st.

One more to go to make goal for this month. I'm loving the accountability from this thread. It makes me get out of bed in the morning and go run instead of hitting the snooze button. Home stretch, girls! We can do this...

[Armida]

I was 268 when I started and I am 261 as of this morning. 7lbs down, 3 more to go!

[MaryOjo]

mlgibson & love2b150, don't worry about it. I didn't lose much myself but i know i am healthier than i used to be. Today's another day, let's just stay on plan one more day and keep yesterday behind us.

Cheers

Another 2lbs down! Yay me, haha!

I also had an "ohhhhhh" moment yesterday. Growing up I was lucky and never had to worry about hunger, just go open the fridge. Yesterday my stomach was empty and it wasn't really all that uncomfortable. I had 3 hours to go before dinner and decided to see if I would actually "die if I don't get something to eat right now". You know what, I didn't die! I learned it's ok to be hungry and not eat right then and there!

Maybe for some you've known this your entire life...but for me it was an "ohhhhh" moment
