Alright - I lost a pound.  One little pound.  I know - be happy.
So I'm 147 today, and feeling bloaty.  That can only mean one thing.  Can I lose 2 pounds next week? 

Everyone is doing so well!  I'll start updating the map tonight when most of the posts are in.  I'll also post some exciting successes amongst our group as well. 

Have a great week everyone!  We've got one last weigh-in for Friday the 31st!  I'm running a 5k on Saturday the 1st in Los Angeles (my first!), so I might be a bit slow posting our final results for the month.

I'd be happy to continue our challenge into September, and then for October I'll need to pass the torch on to someone else.  I can create a new sign in post sometime this week for September, and carry you all over to it if you'd like.  Let me know.

138 today, so a 4 pound total loss...slow and steady right?

So we've got one week to go!  We've lost 167.7lbs or 75.2kgs so far!  Can we make it to 200lbs?  Go Team!

Cathmcq is on fire for this challenge - it's just amazing, and there's really no stoppin' Rebepi and Singzjazz.  I hope everyone has a fantastic final week.

I created a new thread for September.  I gave it a new sexy name mainly to keep it from getting confused with the other September challenges.  Here's a link: (sorry - it's an original calorie count link.  I think our lists of participants look neater on the original calorie count because each participant is on one line...) http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/5395 9.html

The first weigh-in is this coming Friday August 31st, but you all can post here.  In fact, I'd rather you post here.  It'll all get carried over.  We'll have a little celebration here in this post for our collective total loss and for the many success stories we've had amongst us.  For the September challenge we'll be setting our total loss back to zero so new folks can join in. 

You guys rock.  I hope to see you there!

A few congratulations for the week:  Aoasancortez for making it down into the 160s (I know you've been bouncing back and forth between the 170s and 160s, but we don't care - we want to cheer for you anyway), kay27 - 180's, niashaluv35 - 250's, rebepi - 230s, and shanlu - 110s.  Hooray!  Also a late shout-out to a late poster from last week:  moodymamma1977 for making it down into the 120s last week!

Sorry for missing posting.  I have been away for a while. 

8/24/07: 186

Total loss: 5 lbs

Right, so my weight on the 29th july was 165 pounds, and as of today, the 31st august, i am now 159 pounds! I lost a whole 3 pounds this week alone :S (i had no distractions like holidays and such, so i was able tp exercise every day, eat what i wanted to cook, and drink water when i wanted it!)

Total loss - 6 pounds!

These challenges help me so much in my weight loss journey. They help me to keep going. Thankyou :)

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a fantastic week!

OK, I started off this challenge at 165.  Now I'm 153, for a total loss of 12 pounds.  I was a little disappointed that I hit a plateau for the end of the challenge...I would have liked to have even lost one pound to finish up with a loss, but who can complain about 12 pounds in a month!!??

I think next month's challenge will go much slower for me.  A lot of my initial loss was water, but I'm excited to keep trying to get down to my goal of 138.

Maybe it will help some of you who are struggling to know that in the year 2000 I weighed 250 lbs.  I lost 112 lbs through changes to my diet and activity level, and kept it off until last winter, when I had a hysterectomy and gained 27 pounds in a couple of months.   I was determined  not to regain all that weight, and this challenge has really helped me arrest the gaining and turn it around.  This website is a wonder -- I love it!!

Hang in there, everyone!
