CHALLENGERS: Post your August Finals Here!

Well, I made my goal plus this month, but I'd hoped for a little more.
Getting antsy to see 200 and then 100 pounds down. Dang TOM at the end of
the month, too, so I'm up in water weight.

Awesome! Progress IS progress!

This month wasn't as good as others, but I was still successful. My
clothes
are definitely getting looser, so I know I'm still losing inches. Don't
know why the scale doesn't show it... Next month, I'm upping my exercise
since that kind of went awry with family stresses right now.

I imagine how you fit in your clothes is much more important than what the
scales says.

I bought the offline version of Fitday and I love it! So much faster than
tracking online, and it's got a few more features.

How much did you pay?

Made goal yesterday. 269, 6 lbs lost for August.

Awesome!!!

For september I'll maintain the same rate for the challenge, 6 lb

350/269/Sep-263/225
Started Jan 12, 2004

Done!

I'd like to score 9lbs but that depends upon me being really good and
maybe finding a higher activity level. In the meantime I'm happy with
my current rate. It is easy to keep up, I'm getting to enjoy foods
that I've always enjoyed eating and I just found that I can't shop in
big and tall mens store anymore cause their stuff really is too big. I
just bought a pair of Ralph Lauren jeans, 42 waist. Down 10 inches on
waist.

Slow and steady probably creates long term success. I would imagine you've
got lowcarbing down to a real way of life. I'm impressed.

WOW 10" less! Amazing! I measured myself and I'm 10" bigger since 2001.
ARGH! Okay, I did have a baby, but I KNOW I would drop the pounds if I
would stick to low carbing.

Congrats again!

This morning I weighed in at 242. Even after my vacation in Austin/San
Antonio I still made my August goal of 245 - plus a couple of extra
pounds for good measure.

At 242, that makes a grand total of 150 pounds gone in a little over
10 months!

Oh my gosh!! Awesome!! Congrats!!!

For the month of September, let's shoot for 9 pounds. That will take
me down to 233, just 8 pounds from my goal weight of 225.

And I have a beautiful new motivation to stay on the program - her
name is Mary!

Love is a wonderful motivator.

Do you have pics??

I respectfully decline to post this information. It's been a horrible
month.

I won't be participating in the September Challenge. I just don't know
what the future holds right now.

Carol, I haven't read the group in a while, so I'm not sure what is wrong.
I do hope you are feeling better now!!

Depression. I'm only reading sporadically myself. I did send you a letter
about wanting to join the September Challenge. If you didn't receive it,
please let me know.

Thanks,
Carol
