Oh my gosh, how frustrating. I woke up today knowing it would be pretty close, but to miss it by .5 would really suck. I've decided I'm bending my no daily weigh-ins rule to weight myself in the morning. Hopefully I'll be down a bit. Soooo close.

Congratulations to everyone on their losses!

Gagalu, ack! There's gotta be something you can do on the scale. Exhale or something.

Well, back from vacation last night (gone full 7 days). I didn't get much of my normal whoosh due to vacation which was less exercise and more food than I usually eat, but I did get a bit more off.

8/1/11: 193.2

So, my total loss for August was 4.2 pounds. Nowhere NEAR 10 pounds, but I'll take it as it's heading in the right direction and with vacation and nearly 3 weeks of sick kids in the house, things could have been a LOT worse with the scales.

Hey all, i lost 4pounds in all, altho i didn't make the 10pound loss, i'm happy i stayed focus.

A big thank you to everyone who participated, your comments were a great encouragement.

I wish we could have another challenge for August, it will be nice if someone can volunteer to moderate the challenge.

Cheers y'all.

Howdy all! Got on the scale this morning after being out of town since Friday and actually made my goal! I know it was because this was a restart for me and that my losses going forward will be much slower.

7/1-189
7/8-185
7/15-183
7/22-182
8/1 - 179

Hope to see you guys zooming along towards your goals in future challenges!

I got closer than I thought as the scale finally moved this morning...down 8lbs.

So I didn't meet my goal, at I came pretty darn close! I'm down 9.4! I'm hoping that I'll see the 240's by September.

I got back from 2.5 weeks of vacation yesterday and am at 203. Starting weight was 207, so I lost 4lb total. We did lots of hiking on vacation but also ate lots of lovely food and drank a few too many glasses of wine, so I guess 4 lbs is not bad. Aiming for a bigger loss in August!

Close but not quite. I'm happy with that!

[dancerindenver]

mamakat - nice job!

shishkeberry - 9.4 is a major change - if I remember correctly, that's more than the weight of a gallon of milk!

gardenermom - losing on vacation at ALL much less losing 4lbs is seriously impressive.

TL - way to go!

If you add up the losses this month on this thread alone, that's a pretty major number!!

[mlgibson]

Start on 7/1: 172.2
Finish on 8/1: 162.4

After last week's number, I didn't think I'd get that close!

Not ten pounds, but moving in the right direction!

Last week I was 162, this week I'm back up to my starting weight of 166.5.

4.5 pounds in a week. My brother in law passed away last Monday morning of cancer. While we all knew this time would eventually come, the actual death came on so quickly. Within days he went sooo far downhill. I felt (and still feel) so helpless in how to be there for my sister and their kids. It's just awful. All I can do is be with her. So I just... keep eating crap. Binging out of helplessness and anxiety. The funeral fell on my birthday, and I spent the day eating and drinking. I have felt bloated, miserable and sick all week. Why am I doing this?? Anyway, I woke up today trying to get back on track but there was so much leftover crap food in the fridge that I've blown the day. 8 days of binging, plus other days in the month previously. I just don't understand why I eat to help me "cope", when it so obviously makes me feel worse.

So no loss for me. Maybe next month. Good job to everyone else, these totals are just great.
