Weight-Loss August Monthly Challenge

Weight-Loss
I'll give it a try. I'm not very optimistic that I will do very well as this is my first month, but I've got to start somewhere. I guess if I at least finish this challenge, in first place or in last place, finishing it will be the accomplishment!

Hope it is not too late to join! If so - I am here for the support!

New member - Pony girl. You can guess ... I am a small pony.
August first weigh in: 130 lbs - I am 5 feet - but used to weighing 115. I am here for the support.. I am very small, never dieted, love to cook, love to eat, love people: bingo! I used to exercise A LOT, but now I really hate to move my body... age??? I am only 54 so I am not thinking that is it ... or should I?
:nopity:

I was too scared to go near the scales last week so that 140lbs is from a few days before 01 August. I think I am losing weight at the rate of 2lbs (so far) a week, which is still considered healthy. Let's see what happens next week.
 
I hope you all are remembering to post your losses!!! Congrats to those who are seeing a loss and to those who are not, just keep going!! So last week might not have been good..this coming will may be great?!?

Keep it up guys!! its gonna be a great month!!

What's annoying is that yesterday I was down to 173, but last night I had margaritas with salt and so now I'm retaining water.

Kinda a lesson in scale management, huh?

Are you mixing things up? I read an article:

I'm sorry if I'm not allowed to post that, but I found it quite useful.

Basically if you're doing the same things even if you're eating healthy maybe mix it up :p

You are right. I am going to stop beating myself up and enjoy the loss. :party:It is amazing how good I feel after such a crappy past week I had. Weight loss can be such a motivation booster, it seems. Thanks Korrie. Looking forward to next week. Good luck everyone!

Not really sure how that happened. I was 254lbs on Wednesday, had two low calorie days less than 1400 (not good, I know), and I know I was retaining water last week and earlier this week also. Anyways, no complaints from me! Just trying to figure it out, lol. Oh! ...and I started exercising this week...
 
Umm... I know I am a week late, but can I join? I know my weights.

August 1st: 213.8
August 8th: 211.8
August 15th: 210.6
August 22nd:
August 29th:

My goal is to get to the 206's.

Sorry I'm a bit late. I got home late today because we had a family reunion and I spent a bit of time with my hubby today now that he's finally home. Congrats to all who had an awesome week and good luck on the upcoming week.

4lbs in 3 days seems like a lot, but then I have consider the fact that I spent all of Saturday throwing up from being so trashed on Friday night.
I weighed in today and my weight was 135lbs so that seems more normal.
