So I know there are a few challenges out there right now, but I thought Id make another one, for those few stragglers who aren't in a challenge right now and who'd like to be! The challenge is going to be a month long and anyone can join. It will start tommorow (official start date is august 18th) with the inital weigh in and then every monday until September 15th there will be a weekly weigh in. But if you want to start today, more power to you!

This thread is meant for motivation and well...fun! Post whatever you feel like including your challenges, accomplishments, how much you exercised, what you ate, and tips, etc...

I hear ya! Didnt even get to weigh-in because I spent the day with my honey...but back on track!

Haha it was just one of those days!

Everyone is doing fabulous! Awesome goals, I know that we'll all be able to reach our goals by september!

i'm in since i finally decided to get on the scale again after 3 months since my last weigh in(i hate the scale, but i think I'm going to start incorporating now that i'm getting close to the 200 mark). Still despite some summer backsliding, i'm down another 20 lbs from May so it's time to kick it up to get ready for the holiday festivities in a few months!

My personal goal for the month: 10-15 lbs and staring down the 200 mark

August 17th: (19th) 217 lbs
August 25th: 213 lbs
September 1st: 209.5
September 8th: 208.75(down 7.25 so far-oh and tom here so I planned on a bitty loss:-D)
September 15th: 208(well, I didn't meet my goal of 10..ugh! I think this challenge reminded me of why I don't normally do regular weigh ins. I much prefer doing once a month or so and finding myself 10-15-20 lbs down.)

Diet: no eating out!!
1 gallon of water a day

Fitness goals: continue the toning routine. 60 minutes of cardio a day/6 days a week!

I like this club since the kids head out to school on Thurs and my next semester starts on Sept 20th so more gym time for me perfect!!! Thanks for starting it!

Good luck everyone!

I adjusted the dates for my weekly weigh ins...

My personal goal for the month:
August 19th: 178.1
August 26th: 176.4 (1.7 pounds down, woohoo!)

September 16th *Goal is 170*:

Yeeehaaaa!

Bumping this one back up for updates. Just got done at the gym so I was able to get my weigh in this am and add it. Did well--4lbs gone, but I figured it would be a good week since I was able to up the intensity since the kids are back to school(think of it like starting all over again when you've been doing nothing or maintaining for a while). I figure I can expect a more modest 2 lbs this next week. Hoping to eek out a 10 lbs loss total which has me staring eye to eye with the 100's again!


How did everyone else do? Besides the actual weight loss I met all my goals except I may have been a bit skimpy on the water in spots. I'm planning to take Wed off and just enjoy! Hope everyone else is doing well. Look forward to the updates!

Wow, two 4lb loses, GREAT JOB! I weigh in at tonight, I'm thinking 1-2lbs.

August 17th: around 167
August 25th: 166 (-1)

I really need to kick into high gear these next few weeks, ive really tried to get in exercise which hasnt been a problem, but the food is the real kicker I have been watching my portions better, but the food options havent been up to par. But I plan to do much better this week and will continue with more water, less fatty foods, and more exercise!

My personal goal for the month:
August 19th: 178.1
August 26th: 176.4 (1.7 pounds down, woohoo!)
