August weight loss chalenge?

[Simba's Mom]

Is there an August weight loss challenge? If not, I'd be more than willing to start one. I've got some great motivation-I leave 5 weeks from yesterday for WDW. So my goal for the month of August is to lose 6 pounds. If there's not one somewhere else, I'd be happy to start one here. Who's joining me in the challenge and how much do you want to lose this month?
I guess the first thing I have to do is learn how to spell Challenge in the title-but I don't know how to go back and fix it.
As of post #83:
Andrea loves Disney-5.6/5
AuntieMO3-3/3
becka-8.5/9
BeckWhy-2/5
denecarter-0/10
Desiree-3.4/10
disneychrista-5.2/8

garada3-0/5
goinducky-4.5/5

Simba's Mom-3.5/6
slk537-11.5/6
tbstein-.5/4.5
VernRDH-6.2/6
WDWor BUST-0/10
If I misspelled anyone's name or got anything wrong, please don't hesitate to let me know! Also, I'm going to try to do different colors at 50% of goal and for those who reach goal, but I'm not sure I remember how to do different colors, so any reminder would really be appreciated.

looks a little big to me......and i can't see tinks PD very well :confused:

[disneychrista]

My goal for August is 8 pounds.

The clip does look a little big. Maybe the backgroud could be black so the PD could show more?

[SeaSpray]

Put me down for 5 pounds for this month, please. I'm only going for 5 pounds because of my WDW vacation that I just got back from, plus my Jersey shore vacation in 2 weeks. lol

[AuntieM03]

I didn't do great in July's challenge. I am going to go for 8lbs this month. Thanks!!!

[sebfigmin]

Hi! I fell a little short last month. I'm also going out of town for 2 weeks on August 25th. We're going to Walt Disney World for 1 week then the beach for 1 week. With this in mind, please put me down for 6 pounds.

Thank you Simba's Mom for posting & keep track of this. It is greatly appreciated! :thumbsup2

I know we can do this. :yay:

Go! Go! Go!:banana:

[ohMom]

well gals...i'm heading out for a couple days. i'm going to my Mom's so i may post but i won't be able to edit the clippie until Sunday. you can put it in your signature if you have allowance for it, there are signature guidelines stickied on our board if you aren't sure. but when i'll get home i'll edit it down a little smaller and with a darker background. i was thinking dark background and light-colored wording. sorry i didn't get 'er done before leaving!

i'm taking my PDA and will continue to count my WW points while gone. we have a family reunion Sat and it will be a challenge but i'll be thinking of our challenge and counting on tink's PD to bring my good mojo!

[LaLaroo78]

This is my first challange! Please put me down for 7 lbs!

Thanks Simba's Mom for doing this!

Good luck everyone! :thumbsup2

[garada3]

[elan]

[the Fidge]

HI sign me up for 10 I have gained back since my trip and have been very bad as of late so I am trying to get back on the losing side of life!

[Marjol]

Please sign me up for 8 pounds as well, thanks! :)

Starting weight august: 198 lbs, goal is 190 lbs.

[disneychrista]

Off to a good start for August my loss this week is 2.4, which puts me at 2.4/8.

[slk537]

My weigh in this week was a disappointing 1 pound. But it is going in the right direction, right?

So I'm at 1/6 for August so far.

[becka]

I finished off July with a big loss so I am only counting a few days since August began but unfortunately according to my scale I am either the same or up 0.5 pounds, up 1.5 or up 2.5 pounds. :sad2: I am bloated and crabby and the scale keeps jumping around wildly in the last 24 hours. I know this is all just PMS so I am going to count it as a 0 and hope next week I will be feeling much better and a loss will show up.

0/9

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

Happy August to all! Put me down for 5 lbs. Thank you for hosting and good luck everyone! :cool1:

[LaLaroo78]

[AuntieM03]

I am down 1lb, 1/8.

[sebfigmin]

I lost 1.8 lbs. I'm at 1.8/6. I need to get a move on it. I want to lose the 4.2 lbs. before we leave for Florida on Saturday, August 25th. I think I can do it. I have 19 days left.

Ya'll keep up the good work! :thumbsup2

[BeckWhy]

Finally, some weight loss!

I'm down 2 lbs from last week... that puts me at 194!

[Simba's Mom]

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

WI today - I am down 1.6! Yay! :cool1:

[KJo719]

I'm only down .5 this week, so .5/8. I need to get moving!

[tbstein]

I know I am late in jumping in, but I am going to commit to 4.5 pounds. 4 I want to lose, and the .5 I did lose last month.

[SeaSpray]

I lost a pound this week, so I'm 1/5 so far this month :)

[VernRDH]

I am down 2.6 for this month. 2.6/6 for me!!!:banana:

[becka]

A loss of 2 pounds this week so this puts me at 2/9 in the August challenge. :)

[disneychrista]

Lost 2.6 this week, how I am not sure.... ;)

That brings my August total to 5/8, more than half way there.

[Desiree]

I'm finally gaining some momentum here. I'm down 2.2 this week!

[Simba's Mom]

WI and Update time-this week I lost another 1 pound, so now I'm 2.5/6. Gotta keep going! Way to go, everyone! And disneychrista and mikamah are the first ones to reach half way to their goal for the month. Congrats!

[Marjol]

I gained a pound last week (I wasn't surprised, with three birthday parties in two days), so I'm back to 3/8.

[SeaSpray]

I've lost 4 pounds total this month so far! 4/5 :sunny:

[LaLaroo78]

A big fat 0 for this week :confused3 Hope next week is better

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

Just back from WI at WW... -1 lb! Yeah! Slowly but surely...the pounds are coming off!! I lost a little steam last week, but I am trying to get back on track...mentally, that is. Hope everyone has a great week! :goodvibes

[LaLaroo78]

[becka]

I am down another 2.5 pounds so that makes me 4.5/9 for this challenge. I am halfway there. :)

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

Hello there! Just wanted to give you a update - my loss now is -2.6/5. I gave you my loss for this week and I didn't give you my updated total loss including the first week. Thanks!! :wave2:

[slk537]

OMIGOSH!!!!! I've been either losing 1 pound or maintaining the last FOUR weeks!! I had been retaining water and I know that made a difference. But I have been exercising and staying on program and getting frustrated!!!

And this week?

10.5!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

I am so excited!!!!!!!

So I'm an unbelievable 11.5/6 for August so far! So excited!!!

I know I didn't actually lose 10.5 pounds this week - I know I've lost it in the last 5 weeks and I got the "whoosh" this week but I have to say - I feel so good about my program and the fact that it's working!!

[elan]

down another 1lb. wish it was more but we ate out a lot last week.

[disneychrista]

Lost .2 this week. Was on vacation and didn't do much but sit around & watch TV. I did do my workouts but other than that nada.

This brings me to 5.2/8 for August. With only one more weigh in to go.

[crewriam816]

all of you can do it!!!

[Desiree]

I'm down to 201.6. That's a 3.4 loss so far this month.

[LaLaroo78]

7 / 7

:banana:

[mikamah]

Down 1.2 on friday for 4.2/5.

Congratulations everyone!!!

[Marjol]

I lost 1.9 lbs last week, so I'm at 4.9/8 now. :banana:

[sebfigmin]

Hidy ho all! I'm glad to hear everyone is doing so well on their weight loss challenge. I weighed myself this morning. I lost weight. I'll post tomorrow exactly how much.

Everyone keep up the great work! :cool1:

We can do it! :thumbsup2

[KJo719]

I forgot to check in last week- I lost 2 pounds, so that brings me to 2.5/8. Hopefully this week and next week will be good weeks, so I can at least come close to my goal!

[ohMom]

you guys i'm sorry i dropped the ball on the clippie! where did August go? i was out of town visiting family and back to school shopping, i just haven't had time to play on my computer!! SO SORRY!!!

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

Hello everyone! My loss today was 1.2 lbs which brings my total to -3.8/5. Yay!!! I might not make my goal but I am darn close!! :banana:

[Simba's Mom]

WI day, no loss but no gain either. Rats! I wish that scale would move!
Congrats to LaLaroo78 and slk537 for meeting their goal already. Great work!

[VernRDH]

WI today-down 1.6 for a total of 5.2/6 I should be able to pass goal next week!!!

Congrats to LaLaRoo and slk537 for making goal already!!!:cool1:

[KJo719]

Lost 1.5 this week, bringing my total to 4/8.

[becka]

I lost .5 pound this week which puts me at 5/9. It is not looking like I am going to meet my August goal but I will give it my best shot this week. :)

[becka]

I weighed again this morning just to see because I was a bit disappointed to only see a .5 pound loss yesterday and I was down another 3.5 pounds so that puts me at 8.5/9 and I think now I should definitely be able to meet my August goal.

[crewriam816]

awesome guys!!!

[AuntieM03]

I am down 2lbs this week. My total for the month of August so far is 3lbs.

[Marjol]

I lost 1.1 lbs last week, so I'm at 6/8 now. I'll probably not reach my goal for August, but I'm happy with the loss :)

[LaLaroo78]

9 / 7 :cool1:

[mikamah]

Well, I slid back last week, and had a huge gain- 7.6, but this week, down 4 to make my monthly total of 0.6 lost. Oh, well, it's summer. Back to business for september.

:cool1: Congratulations everyone!!! :cool1: There's some pretty impressive losses here. :cool1:

[Andrea_loves_Disney]

Last weigh in of the month..... I am down 1.8! Yay! :banana: My total for the month is 5.6/5 !! I can't believe I did it!! Woo Hoo!!

Good luck to everyone!!!

[SeaSpray]

I haven't posted on here in a few weeks because I was away one weekend, and my weight went up and down, but since today is August 31st, I can report my overall weight loss for the month! I've lost 6 pounds this month! :)

6/5 :sunny:

[Marjol]

Today was my last weigh in and I lost 2.5 lbs this week, which brings me to a total of 8,5/8! :woohoo:

[VernRDH]

Well its the last day of August and I weighed in today down 0.6 from last week for a total of 6.2/6 for the month!!! YEAH!!!:banana:

Congrats to everyone who reached their goals and posted losses!!! Keep up the good work!

[Simba's Mom]

Well, the month has ended and I only lost 3.5 pounds of the hoped for 6. And since I leave for WDW in a few days on the DDP, I'll probably gain it back and more! But at least there's 3.5 pounds less to start with!

Have a wonderful time in WDW, and thanks again for doing the Weight Loss Challenge this month! :sunny:

[disneychrista]

I ended August at 7.4/8 not quite my goal.

[becka]

I had another 1 pound loss which puts me at 9.5/9 for August. I really thought I was not going to make this goal or my exercise goal but at the very end I pulled both of them out. :)
