I have a fairly strong feeling that tomorrow's weigh in will be more than last week's... my in-laws left this morning after visiting us for three weeks and I've eaten *way* too much junk.  I tried to steer clear but it got a little tense there towards the end so I decided to just keep the peace and go with the flow until they left.  My body actually feels a bit toxic and slow now after all the junk.  Looking forward to getting back to our healthy eating habits and seeing better progress for next month's challenge!

Aliceinonederland - Ok. see you tomorrow! :]

Colorado_Sunshine - Oh that sucks, it is hard when there are family around!
But ok, glad to hear you're motivated to get back to your healthy eating.
I know, after Christmas or months where there are a lot of birthdays, i always feel like my body is a hazardous zone lol.
So! I hope September is a good one for ya!


I just weighed in this morning and found i'm still the same weight i was last saturday!! noooo what is wrong?
I didn't over eat this week.
I might have been a little slow with the exercise i guess but i worked out more then the week before.
Will have to work harder in September!

Good luck weighing in guys!

*looks at the scales*

Be my friend tomoz, please.... I BEG.

Hehe, lozzle i hope it's kind to you!

Go sign up and i'll list you all later tonight and over the weekend.
I'll be at my bf's though so i might be a bit slow to begin with!

Yay for cinfuldiva! what an inspiration you are.

I am impatient with my old, fat self. It's hard to admit that my attitude is what's crappy...I eat right, log everything, plan in advance, get good nutrition grades (except that one day when all I ate was cake and champagne: but that was a special occasion). I need to stop staying up late, getting bored & tired, and just go to bed and sleep. Think. Breathe. I don't know. Anyway...I'll keep trying because you are here! You are all here, and doing well, and helping.

Well, I didn't make my goal, but I'm still pretty happy with the 7 pounds. I was kind of surprised this morning because I was sure I'd lost weight this week. My clothes even seemed to be fitting better than last week. Oh well, I guess you never really know until stepping on the scale :)

Looking forward to next month's challenge!

I missed one weigh-in date- was very busy and couldn't log in all of last week. But my total weight loss for the month is
5.8 lbs, out of 7 (my goal). Not bad, considering I had 2 very very bad days! And technically, the month still has 3 days, so I could still get pretty close to 214. I'm very happy with this result!
