Hey.
I set myself the goal of losing 10.5lbs in one month, but my dates are from the 8th August to the 12th September (when I go on holiday!)
My motivation is holiday pics from last year when all my summer clothes fitted me without being tight and making me feel less confident!
I think this thread will help me to motivate myself for weigh ins every sunday.
I hope peeps don't mind me gatecrashing you August challenge :)

GOOD LUCK everyone! You're all doing great so far!

August 8th - 136.5lbs
August 15th - 134.5lbs
August 22nd - 132.5lbs
August 29th - 131.2lbs
September 5th -131.8lbs oh dear - hoping for a good final week! Target of 129.5lbs (which would be a 7lb loss overall)
Septemeber 12th -

Goal - 126lbs
Total Lost: ___

celebrated my success from august 5 till aug 12 and fell off the wagon. sigh. always my problem. need to look into the psychology of my weight loss successes. still aiming for 189 but shifting my days by 2 maybe so on aug 18...
 
well I just got back from vacation and so I missed a couple weigh ins... still down a bit but quite a ways to go this month
 
Ooops completely forgot about the weigh in. Well I didn't lose much last week due to that TOM..even though I worked out 6 days...I am hoping for something good this week.

First week I haven't lost something in 2 and a half months. It doesn't tell the whole story though. I was down to 347.X earlier this week. Actually, I hit 345.0, but I didn't count it due to being dehydrated and not eating much the day before. I've been lax on the exercise this week, and yesterday I had some unhealthy snacks at a work function. Not enough that I would call it a "binge", but definitely more than I should have. I think I'm sort of giving myself a break this week. Still controlling my diet (except for yesterday), but I think a week off from lifting weights will be helpful in the long run. Also, this will give me some time to see if I need to adjust my calorie intake after losing 25lbs - my weight loss has been slowing this month. So I'm not too upset, other than I'm probably going to be well off my goal this month, which will also put me in a tough spot for hitting my year end goal as well. Big thing is, getting remotivated and not letting this week turn into a bigger slide in the wrong direction, falling back into bad habits, etc.

Goal 180 lbs.

I'm half way there. I want to make my goal, so I'm going to increase my cardio time and intensity in the next two weeks. I'm also going to cut my calories from 1,800 to 1,700. I started playing raquetball last week, and it seems to be a really good workout and quite fun. (Except when you hit yourself in the eye with the ball, oh that's what those goggle are for!)
 
Hehe, I kind of forgot to do this the last couple of weeks. :D But the good news is that I've lost 7.4 lbs so far. Just 2.6 lbs away from the 10lb goal. :)

I couldn't help but laugh at this... Sorry! It is great when you find some cardio that's fun though, I've just recently taken up tennis and I love it. There's no goggles involved in that either!
