7lbs in August anyone???

[Rshard]

Following on from June's and July's thread, we're aiming to lose 7lbs.

All regimes welcome. Support and encouragement guaranteed!

Starting weight for August for me is 11.10.5. This is from my WW weigh in last Wednesday which is where I ended July. 7lbs would get me to 11,3.5 just in time for my holiday.

Good luck everyone!

Thanks Rshard
Glad you are feeling better Jolly

Good day all!

Oh dear, haven't posted on here for ages and have put most of it back on - 11st 4.8 this morning so time for action - I want to be 10st 7.

No point dwelling chuch, draw a line and go from there. You can do it!

According to my scales, I haven't lost anything since last week. However, since I weigh daily I know they were showing a pound down every day last week from Wednesday on so I am not worried. I suspect hope that tomorrow will be back down. Fingers crossed!

Hope everyone has had a good day.

Oh, and happy birthday to Hello! (You're allowed, it's your birthday! )

Thanks Pony I had a fantastic day
Back on it today, hope your scale has gone down!

Glad you had a good day Hello.

My scales are back down. So 3lb lost in total for me so far. Only a week to go till the end of the month and that's me back at the weight I was before the summer holidays, which I had been sitting at for months. More than happy with that! Anything further down is new territory and a total bonus!

Glad you had a good day hello

Well done pony

I weighed in a day early today as we're out tomorrow so that'll be my final weigh in before my holiday and for August. I was 11,6.5 today so a 4lb loss for the month and half away from my holiday goal so pretty happy!

Good luck to everyone for the remainder of August and I'll be back for septembers thread

Thanks pony and Rshard
Well done both of you on your losses, we are all getting smaller and smaller, fabulous!

pony sounds like you have broken through a static period, you must be feeling very pleased about that? It can only go down from here now!
Rshard have a really fantastic holiday,
I will join you in the September thread if there's one.

I am not stepping on the scale until the end of this month due to my excessive indulgence of the past 5 days

Hope everyone is doing well

Fantastic Rshard! Well done. Have a great holiday.

If you can't indulge over your birthday then when can you?

Ah absolutely right pony

Have I killed the thread??
How's everyone doing?

Lost 2lb this week. Still 1.6 to get off my BMI

That's fantastic Groovee! Well done.

I am hoping to move into new territory with my next official weigh-in - scales are saying I am down but I never trust them till they say it consistently over a few days. I am doing a 10k charity walk on Sunday so that will hopefully help.

Have a good weekend everyone. Nearly at the end of this month already, can't believe it!

Only two days of the month left - how is everyone doing? My scales are up again (apparently I have gained 3lb overnight ) so I am waiting till the 31st to get my final loss for the month.

Hi pony I thought everyone had left!
My scale is hovering around 64 as well so waiting for last day to update.
The 3 pounds will be gone, drink plenty of water!

Fingers crossed, Hello - I did a 10k walk yesterday and don't think I drank enough water during it, hoping that's the culprit!

Good job on the walk pony, hope the scale has moved down today?
I will finish the month at 64.5kg, that's 2.5 loss for me this month. Considering the month I had, am quite pleased at this.
Groovee well done on your loss!

Are you guys up for a September thread? >

Bit late to the party but please can I join you? Hopefully there will be a September thread? I have done my usual in the school holidays with lots of eating and drinking but have put on 7lbs which has shocked me a bit. I am a bridesmaid in four weeks and would like to be somewhere towards my goal weight then!

Hello, that's a fantastic loss (around 5.5lb in old money?). Brilliant stuff.

My scales have bumped back down but will wait for tomorrow to do my official numbers. Hoping it might bump down some more!

Skala, that's what I did! I am in Scotland so been back at work for nearly 3 weeks, which has helped. I thought Rshard said she would be back in time to start a new thread, if not I will start one on Thursday and anyone at all can join in. I have found it very motivating, it's helped me shift what I gained in the holidays and got me past my plateau.

Thanks Pony, hoping it'll do the same for me! Am using mfp and doing low/no sugar which has helped me before. Day one was yesterday and managed not to cheat but I don't very often get much further than that without caving so will see how today goes! Ran 10k last night too.
How often are you guys weighing in? I am a nightmare for doing it at least twice a day!

Thanks pony I feel much better when you put it this way as I was getting cross with myself that I could have done better

I agree I also find these threads motivating as it keeps me going! Really pleased that your scale has bumped down, looking forward to hear your news later. Not sure if Rshard will be on time to start a new thread, will join you tomorrow when you start one

Welcome Skala you are on the right path, keep going!

Sorry for short messages, typing on phone which is pita tricky!

You have done better than me, Hello - my final figure is 3.5lbs lost, slightly disappointed as the scales went up not down this morning (going by Sunday's weight it would have been 5lb lost). But as ever I am philosophical - I know I haven't actually put on 1.5lb in three days, it's water retention and food in transit etc, so that lower weight will reappear as long as I keep going. And I will still be starting September having lost my holiday weight and a wee bit extra so I have got past the weight I was stuck at for months. Happy with that.

10k sounds great Skala! I use MFP too, keep going, you are doing all the right things. I weigh daily (first thing in the morning) and keep a record, I feel it helps me stay focused and less worried by small ups and downs.

Here's to a focused September for us!

Well done pony you absolute star
Don't be disappointed as you are lighter than the beginning of the month and you have lost the holiday weight and smashed through your plateau, that's gotta be better than most! And you are absolutely right that a lot of it will be water retention, food etc. and put it this way sometimes this week you will have an extra loss iyswim.
After my birthday indulgences, I went up to 66kg and took a week to come down again and at a loss. At a guess, something similar will happen to you soon as well.

On another note, gosh we are at the end of August, it's gone too fast! Summer is over, starting to get dark sooner around here
Must be the same around you as well I have a huge soft spot for Scotland

And yes, here's to September with renewed energy, focus and determination for us! Bring it on!!!

Oh absolutely Hello, I know the number I saw will resurface in the next few days, it will be a kick start for September!

Summer never really got started up here!! We've had more sunny days since the schools went back than we had all holidays! Typical. But September is one of my favourite months, days tend to be sunny and mild and with a wee hint of autumn. Although summer's been so bad a lot of trees have started losing their leaves already.

Hi pony will catch up with you in the September thread X
