DAY YOU'D LIKE TO WEIGH IN
10% OF YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT IS SUGGESTED) I AM DOING LESS BECAUSE I LOSE AT A SLOWER RATE
============================================= =====
IF you join in these months this is the suggested weight loss percentage
August Challengers 7% of SW unless it is midway then 5.5
September Challengers 5% or 4% of SW. This is to keep you motivated to stay with the challenge.
Experts say 10% of your body weight is reasonable to lose in a 3 month period. You must take into consideration if you had already lost a reasonable amount of weight that your may hit a plateau during this challenge. Don't get discouraged.
Day you like to weigh: Saturday
Welcome one and all! This challenge is a 3rd quarter challenge for the year 2012. Anyone can join and there are no rules, except pick a day that is good for you to Weigh in Consistently. if you miss the day when you regularly weigh in go ahead and do it when you remember to keep you current in the weeks spreadsheet. The key here is to log at least once a week. So go ahead and tag this and come back! If you are new and need help let me know and I will give you information on how to tag the topic.
Look at the below comments for information during the challenge
I will post the tips in the THIS journal post and MARK EDIT: SEE COMMENT and I will reference the comment number so you can just scroll to it, if you'd like. I will post example 365.20 (which means post 365 PAGE 20. So you can easily go to the page and just look up the post number.
- PLEASE DO NOT EDIT YOUR POST IF YOU WISH TO BE INCLUDED ON THE SPREADSHEET WHERE I POST THE WEEK"day's. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE YOUR WEIGH-IN DAY. My goal is to post total lost two days after the month has ended. This will enable those in different time zones to not be left out. At the end of the challenge I will post a range and people's name.

REMEMBER to let me know if you won't be weighing in so I don't delete you from the spreadsheet. After about 2=3 weeks depending on how you are with regularly logging is whether I will keep you in the challenge. If you are removed, you can always be added back, its just I want to keep the spreadsheet current so those that regularly log don't get overlooked for accolades because someone didn't log since they had a gain and didn't want that to show. Oh well . . . Thats is all>
GOOD LUCK >>> God Bless and Take care
One thing I decided to do to the challenge is to adjust your formula to your actual highest weight. Afterall, you have lost more than your initial weigh in. I think this is fair and encouraging. I will ask you before I adjust the formula, so its up to you.
So hurry up and get started!
Current to post 78.4 (THE . MEANS PAGE NUMBER),
Above is the post number I am up to entering on the spreadsheet. I.E. 13.1, Post #13 Page 1. I will do this in the Comment section to so you can go straight to the page without having to scroll through unnecessary pages. I hope this makes it easier for you all to read the comments.

I did Insanity 5 of the 6 days last week and I am back to my pre-insanity weight (which is a good thing). I do feel much stronger after doing 2 weeks of insanity. I can only imagine what it will be like after 2 months.

I'm hoping to successfully get back running - I stop and start all the time, I know it's not good, I need to become more consistant with my workouts.

My mom recently found my prom dress and I'm determined to get back into it! My reason for loss? Couldn't stand my reflection anymore in the mirror and in my hubby's eyes.

So it's been up at 6:30 am, take him about 8, bust my patoot until 3 when I leave to go get him, then it's dinner prep. For this challenge, I have to lose less than a lb for achieve it!! And I'm more than halfway to my ultimate goal!!
Awesome job on losses this week!! So proud of everyone in this group!! Until next week, keep fighting the flubber ;) xoxo
I'm in again. I've been on this challenge since Jan 2011 and it has been great motivation and a great checkpoint each week. This should be my last challenge losing weight, then maybe one or two more to maintain.. Everyone here

Sunday weigh in only a few days away. Not sure this week was a good one for me so not expecting any drop on the scales this weigh in. Sigh. Hope everyone is doing well.
