Walking back and forth to our cars put us well over our step goals. Smooth move so far, but we'll see how tomorrow and Friday go before the movers arrive on Saturday.
Heading to Disneyland tomorrow for Race Packet pick-up for the 5K, a chicken caesar salad, cake pop and the pin releases. Our crazy week continues on - not too much time at the parks because we have to be up at 4am on Friday to run.

Oh wow! SO MUCH activity in here today! I LOVE IT! Where were all of you in August???? 
I'm just kidding. 
But I definitely hope it keeps up all through September (and October!).
It's 1:38am now so I'll have to check back in later on and really read closely and reply to everyone. But I wanted to make sure I got in my answer to Wednesday's QOTD!
My WOOHOO is that I weighed in this morning at 204.4lbs! That's down 1.1lbs from Monday, and while that could be caused by anything and will probably be back up tomorrow, I have been over the moon about it all day!! It has been SO LONG since I have seen a number that low on the scale.
I'm also seeing a lot of change in my shoulders, which I'm just thrilled about. I just wish the change were as obvious everywhere else!
My slightly-less-excited "woohoo" is that I'm almost done addressing wedding invitations. It's slightly-less-exciting only because I'm exhausted and don't have the energy to be properly excited about them, or even really care about them at all anymore LOL. They should've gone out 60 days before the wedding, so around August 24, but we decided at the last minute to change the color of the envelopes, because plain white envelopes are just so boring. LOL. So we had to wait for the new ones to come in. Then I, of course, decided that it would be so pretty if instead of just writing people's addresses on them, I would run them through the printer and print the addresses out in some pretty font in light grey and go over that with white ink. Easy peasy! And hey - I was right! It's really pretty. It's also REALLLLYYYYYY time consuming, because white ink is thin and needs at least two coats, and if you go too fast, the gel pens don't cooperate. I've been working on these since Friday night, from about 6pm til almost 3:30am every night (even longer on Saturday!), and out of 90 envelopes, I'm finally down to just 16 left. Not at all my wisest craft project. 51 days til no more wedding!!
It's kind of hard to see the lettering on the envelopes, but these are our invitations! All in all, I'm pleased with them. I love the colors - our wedding is themed "Autumn Elegance" so fall colors are playing a big role. I'm just so tired of doing this! Haha. And yes, I'm sending invitations to Mickey & Minnie. I've read they'll send you an autographed photo in response, so we'll see!
Bonus QOTD: I have an iPhone, but I don't use Siri (or any other "digital assistant"). Haha. She irritates me to no end.
More often than not, when I try to use her, I just get frustrated because she isn't very helpful.

So I know I posted this in the July challenge, and I may have posted this in the August challenge? I'm not sure. But there's lots of new faces in here this month, so I wanted to re-share a little about why I'm here. Anyway...
I'm Megan
, I'm 26, and I'm trying to lose weight before my October 24th wedding and DISNEYMOON! I've always struggled with being overweight. Even in middle school/high school, I was a lot bigger than all the other girls in my class, wearing size 11-13 pants/dresses and size M-L shirts. I thought i was HUGE at the time, but I'd sure give anything to be there again now, LOL.
After I graduated college in 2011, I was REALLY depressed for the first couple of months after I moved back home. I slept all day and barely ate, and i ended up losing a lot of weight that summer, going from a size 16/18 in May 2011 to a size 12 in August 2011. I was thrilled! I kept it off until March 2012, and over the last 3 years, I've slowly put all of that weight back on. In January 2015, my scale hit the highest number it's ever hit - 227lbs. Since then, I've been desperately and unsuccessfully trying to make that number go down. Since the only time I've ever really lost weight was the summer after college, and the only reason I lost it was because I was sleeping 12-16 hours a day and barely eating, I had NO idea how to try to shed all the new pounds. To be honest, I'm still trying to figure that out.
After a rough January-April, full of poor choices, excuses, "tomorrows", and busy schedules, I finally hit 222lbs in May, and then I found the WONDERFUL June challenge thread from @pjlla , and that thread was the #1 reason I was able to start out July at 212lbs. As of June 30, I was 116 days away from my wedding, and 22lbs away from my wedding-goal (but 52lbs away from my overall-life-goal... but baby steps!)...
I am now proud to say that as of September 1, I am 53 days away from the wedding and 10lbs away from my wedding-goal! I'd really love to be around 190 (so another 15lbs) by the wedding, but if I can lose these 10lbs between now and then, I will be ECSTATIC. August was a really awful month for me, so I've got really high hopes for an amazing September full of progress!

What a weekend! I'm tired just thinking about it!! But then I think about how accomplished you are going to feel at the end of it.

Woohoo! That number would make me jump for joy!!
The invitations look beautiful!!

You are doing a great job!! August may have been rough but your overall numbers are impressive. You are going to get there!!
Good morning fellow losers!
QOTD - September 3
Let's talk about scales today. Are you a daily weigher? Weekly weigher? Hide the scale in the closet and never think about the numbers sort?
I'm also curious about how the numbers make you feel and what you do with the data. Do good numbers make your day while bad numbers bring on storm clouds? Or is it just a brief snapshot in time that you immediately let go? Do you record the numbers with spreadsheets, charts, sticky notes, and projections or forget what the scale said as soon as you step off?
Looking forward to the chatter!

I'm Lisa and a veteran of these challenges on the WISH boards coming back after a hiatus.I use this for an excuse why I don't reach my weight loss goals.
My goal for September is to lose 5 pounds. I have been stuck in this decade FOREVER and want to find myself solidly in the middle of the next one by the end of the month. I'll use my Aria FitBit scale to measure and that will be the goal I am reporting here. I also have an exercise goal on the exercise thread. I will continue to follow my WW plan to lose this month. I attend meetings and also have two personal coaches on WW. They have helped me to come up with action plans to meet my WW goals.
I joined the challenge this month to give myself a little more accountability and to publicly set that goal of 5 pounds this month. I may not be posting too often but I will be like Roz . . . watching, always watching.
I"m so HAPPY you are back with us! I have missed you and your "never give up" attitude! .................P

I weigh weekly on Fridays..... but occasionally I'll take a second look on Saturday if Friday's number doesn't seem quite right. My scale is really sensitive and can get freaked out if it gets moved or stepped on funny. When we were using it to weigh DD's luggage last Saturday we noted that it told us a different weight every time we stepped on it!
I write it in my food journal/tracker along with a small notation as to whether I am up or down and how I felt about the weight (often I just use a smiley face or a frown face). I do have trouble letting go if the number is particularly disheartening. And I need to remember that food is neither a REWARD for weight lost or a CONSOLATION PRIZE for weight gain.... no matter WHAT the scale says, I need to have a normal OP day!
I did create a graph last year when I was trying to get back down to a certain number before my big birthday..... and the graph was nice because I was able to see that even after a particularly bad weigh-in, I was still TRENDING DOWNWARD!
*****************************
Hey all! Sorry I didn't get back on yesterday. I was washing vegetables for lunch and noticed that the water pressure in the kitchen was bad.... anyhooo.... after some investigation I discovered that the kitchen faucet was leaking under the sink (and down into the basement
). Anyhow..... after much wiping and mopping on my part and swearing and sweating on the part of my DH, we ended up removing the entire sink in order to remove the faucet. And then, of course, we ended up at Lowe's at 7:30 last night to buy a new faucet ($220 I did NOT budget for this month..... gotta dig into the "household repairs" envelope!). So my ENTIRE AFTERNOON was down the drain..... and after all that (and getting to bed very late for me.... 11 pm), the faucet is installed and the water is useable..... but the sink isn't fully clipped back in. Fingers crossed he gets that done today while I'm at work.Eating has been good (including last night's "this project sucks" light beer) but as usual I haven't moved enough. Gotta work on that. Maybe I need to re-up my gym membership..... but I HATE driving to the gym.
Off to work! BBL to chat!...................P

I am on average a daily weigher, sometimes multiple times a day. I tend to think I over do it, but its right in my bathroom, and I just jump on too often. I Wish I were a Friday/Monday weigher. I'd like to see where I am heading into the weekend and where I am after the damage is done Monday. I am not looking for a low number Friday to justify binging all weekend, it is actually more likely if I see a number I am pleased with on Friday that I will do better with my choices on the weekend. But if I don't like it, I tend to think, well I made no progress all week, whats the use of restricting myself this weekend when we go to X (party, take kids for ice cream they earned, out to a restaurant).
When I get a number I am not happy with it usually makes me feel depressed and like I am failing. I will then be super careful for a few hours about my eating, and then next thing you know, I will feed the frustration, sadness, etc with something sweet, usually chocolate. When I get a number I like, I am actually better for a day or two with my rewards. I really think my biggest obstacle is getting over the notion that I deserve junk food as a reward. My body deserves fuel (healthy options) not junk.
My scale (made by iHealth) syncs via bluetooth with phone, and is then nice enough to update MyFitnessPall and the Apple Health App for me
. So there is no hiding from the truth. Hope everyone has a great Thursday. I only got 4.5 hours of sleep last night. This is a dangerous thing for me. I always overeat when I am tired. And I need to run three miles to keep up with my training plan. Going to be a challenge!

Daily weigher here! First thing every morning, I wake up, use the restroom, and get on the scale. Then I log it in my LoseIt! app, which keeps track of my weight with a line graph and a progress report showing how many pounds I've lost and how many days left to my "goal" weight, a projection they figured up based on the amount of weight I wanted to lose with the number of calories I put in to eat.
Lower numbers definitely make my day better, but seeing a consistent or slightly higher number doesn't really ruin my day... Drastically higher, though? Yeah, that bums me out. My scale is sensitive so there can be a few pounds difference depending on where it is on the floor, so I have to make sure it's in the exact same spot every day, lol.

That takes willpower for sure. Good job!My WOOHOO of the day: Making it through the check out line at Wegmans with out getting any treats! I forgot a post-workout snack for after the gym. Usually when this happens I would talk myself into how I "needed" a candy bar or the like, but today, I left without buying anything. In full disclosure, I did not starve myself. I had stopped on the way in at Sturbucks, but I only got a latte with nonfat milk. I figured the milk would provide some carbs and protein. Usually I would have gotten the coffee and the candy bar, so this was an improvement! I guess the fact that I did finally get my butt to the gym is another WOOHOO, but skipping the candy bar feels bigger to me.
Bonus QOTD: I always say thank you to Siri, but not usually please

I weigh once a week on either Friday or Saturday. If I know that I'm going to eat poorly on Friday night then I'll weigh Friday (which is kinda cheating but oh well). I track in my WW and then we also have a website at work that we can track our weight and save money on health insurance for the next year. I like this because that's how I know that I now weigh less than I did a year ago! *happy dance*
Good numbers do make me feel good and I try not to let the bad numbers ruin my day, especially if I look at myself in the mirror and feel like I can see the change and/or feel it in my clothes. Which I finally can! Yay!

You have such a beautiful story! You are very fortunate to have found each other.I wrote yesterday of my best friend and our friendly challenges.......what I didn't write was that we live 700 miles apart! But I visit her monthly and at least twice a year she and I leave her old, grumpy husband home and take a 2 week vacation together..........which is Orlando in just 20 days........NOT that I am counting.
Something that we did after we started using our Fitbit on a cruise in August 2013 was we pay $5.00 per day for every day we meet our step goal, one month she pays, one month I pay! We have a joint savings account we call our Vacation Fund that we contribute $100 every paycheck (biweekly) plus the "step money".........needless to say we have done 10 days in Nashville, 11 days in Vegas, and have 14 days in Orlando (coming up) .......all of which is 100% paid for before we arrive at our location

I struggle with the scale. My sweetheart recently read an article that said people who weigh daily are more successful in keeping weight off over their lifetime. Whenever I weigh daily, I can be up two pounds in any given week and then lose by the end of the week. I can also be down and then up at the end of the week. This happens even when I'm eating and tracking and maintaining a healthy carb, protein, fat count. So it mystifies me! And I get discouraged if I'm up during the week, even though I know I could still be down by the end of the week. So in spite of the article that says, weigh daily, I've decided that I should stick to weekly. Once I'm trying to maintain my weight (which will be another challenge in and of itself) I'll probably go to twice a week. It's all very tricky!

My woohoo Wednesday is: I drank my 32 ounces of water! I'm working on this mornings 32 ounces now. This is one of my September goals. I dislike drinking water and always feel forced to just get it down! I'm marking my calendar daily, as I consume the 32 ounces. I set a small goal to start so I can form the "healthy" habit of drinking the water. This and many other healthy habits is like beg. a new life with so many new things in it. Change can be stressful, even good change. Remembering that life is always going to be a struggle, no matter what your challenges may be. It's learning to overcome those challenges and not feeling like you are the only one who suffers. Conquering weight loss and management makes us all survivors!

I am definitely a daily weigher. Get up, use the bathroom, step on scale. It is as automatic as brushing my teeth. The number doesn't have too much impact on my mood. I'm happy when I see a number that I haven't seen in a while but it is really just data.
And I love data! I record daily on both MFP and HappyScale because I really like to see trends and projections. Thise charts definitely make a difference in mood. I'm working really hard on trying to stop that. Behaviors should be more important than numbers particularly since numbers follow behaviors. But I can't help myself. As I said above, I just love data!

You can throw a check mark for me in the weekly weigh-in category. With WW it just makes more sense to work hard during the week and then on whatever day it is you've chosen to weigh in and hope for the best
I use the WiiFitU for my scale and I love it. Now that we're on a first floor I can use the WiiFit system and do all of the fun exercise programs on my off-days for Couch to 10K.
As for numbers... I will say that with all the effort I have put in that I do get disappointed when the work doesn't equal results. I'm of the firm belief that the harder you try with extreme effort that the results should pay out. Unfortunately that is not always the case for weight loss. Sometimes your body says "nope" and you don't see what you think you should on the scale -- sometimes fat is turned into muscle so you think you've lost pounds but you've lost inches; you could be retaining a lot of water; and sometimes you've over-exhausted yourself to where your body is trying to conserve calories.
It is a process. And we all have to remember that. A loss is a loss, no matter how big or small. And sometimes we will have weeks where we gain - and that's okay too because we'll just do better the next week!

This is exactly how I feel and what I struggle most with. I can go for a run, or a class at a gym, and feel great when I am done and proud of the accomplishment. But if the scale doesn't show anything it really bothers me, and anything positive is completely forgotten (and usually I go get a handful of chocolate chips
). I have been toying with going to a much period longer between weigh-ins. But I am afraid I will miss more inadvertent gain. I may see how the first two weeks of this challenge go, and if I do ok, I might try going a week between weigh ins for the rest of the month. Because my biggest problem is what I eat. I can get the exercise in. But I have a lack of self control diet wise. So if I can tell I am being honest with myself and maybe see a loss of a pound or two by the end of next week I may space out my weigh ins, because the sad scale feedback is a trigger for me. I wonder if I focus on doing things right with nutrition and exercise and stop giving the scale so much power, if I might actually be more successful.

HappyScale is amazing and I love that it uses trending to suggest when you'll meet your goal. It's fun to see how accurate it is! Do you find that tracking your food and portion size in MFP keeps you honest and you can see where you may have fallen off the wagon? I feel like that with WW sometimes. I am thankful that I can point out my meals ahead of time and see where I am with calories because if I didn't have that I'm sure I'd eat a whole pizza by myself and an entire cake due to stress
That is something HUGE to celebrate. They're absolutely ~gorgeous~ and definitely worth the time and effort you're putting into it. I love that you're sending one to Mickey and Minnie too. I think the same response from Disney applies to the White House as well. So maybe sending one to President and Mrs Obama would be neat because they'll send you a letter and a signed picture or something too!
You got this, girl. Seriously. 53 days is about 7 weeks, so if you lose 1.5 pounds per week you'll be there without a problem. And the wedding jitters and stress you'll experience as you get closer to your date will cause you to drop it super fast. This happened to me and my wedding dress was too big when I walked down the aisle - haha!
On the day of your wedding, make sure you eat something before you put your dress on. I had a 6" Subway sammich and it was the only thing that I got to eat that evening. So many people wanted to chat with us at our couples table that the food was taken away before I ate it and the only piece of cake I got was the one shoved in my face.

Sorry - i wanted to respond to this one too before I start my work day.
THIS. Seriously! I love that over the last week I managed to break nearly 100,000 steps... but the scale told me that I only lost .5 pounds and I was depressed. We all have to remember that it's a process and to keep going. Don't give into the temptation to eat a sweet treat to mask that disappointment. Lord knows I could eat an entire bag of Hershey's Nuggets if I had a bad weigh-in, but at what cost? How does that solve the problem?
