[BitOutOfPractice]

The new Slenderistas August thread starts here. Welcome aboard. The wagon is in town.

Link to old thread here

Well done TV and Hairspray on the quick losses.

BOOP good work on the gym.

Looking forward to September. I do have one weekend a way planned but hoping for lots of walking,swimming and they have a gym.

Ooh good work why social eating is my problem too!
How tall are you? been floating around the mid 10s for forever and despo to get into the 9s!

Ooh can I join please?? I had lost 6lbs in July before my holiday and just put it all back on during the last 2 weeks of sun, sea, wine and wine 🍷
SO annoying! Am on the case now though

Any suggestions for a September thread titles gratefully received. My brain is a little frazzled at the moment. So much going on

Gym was just about bearable. May go back later with dp to do done weights. Only had time for cardio this morning. Had to rush to get car in for mot. It's non-stop glamour in my life

Hello moon and *why . So nice to see new faces.

I still have half an hour to wait for my mot to be finished. A toddler is running round. Screaming. Constantly. My nerves are frayed

Well done for getting to the gym BOOP- I always find that I'm better at staying on plan if I know I've already put the hard work in. It's all really in the mind and I think I'm doing fairly well at moment because I have gym sessions pencilled in the diary and booked so I can't decide to stay at home instead. I'm 5:2 Hairspray and started after I saw a really bad photograph of me. Also entered the Bath Half so that I have a goal. HAving a goal keeps me focused and park runs great too. I'm hoping that by Christmas time we are all feeling fab and will definitely deserve lots of cocktails and new clothes!!!

The weight is falling off... Lose 7lbs in September

Let's not fall into bad habits... 7lbs off in September

Back to school and away from the pool, the holiday is over and 7lbs are coming off this month!

I like the back to school one best!

Welcome why and Moon, lovely to have some new faces at the end of the month - are you gearing up to join us on the September thread?

Two gym sessions in one day would be seriously platinum BOOP!

Another struggling Augusteer here - back to school time is proving really hectic and I am constantly knackered so picking is a problem and I am too tired to face going to the gym. The only upside is that I am not drinking during the week so that's probably saving around 2k calories.

I like the school one best too, although like Pony I have been back for a while. Well done hairspray.

Welcome why and moon.

I have lost 5 Linda's this month. I am certainly in the mood. Please let me stay that way.

Well done stellar, you definitely have got some momentum going, September will be fab

On the other hand I have just had 2 mini chocolate rolls and am fighting a terrible urge to go back to the tub....

School here went back last week and we are not yet back in typical routine. I quite like that but I do have to avoid eating at bad times.

Step away from the tub young man!

Goldeness abounds here still. I hope I can go into September a little bit shiny do it's not too big a shock

Unfortunately I succumbed to a mini tea cake thing instead...only 31 cals

Will try to give dessert a miss tonight so hopefully no harm done

I saw some gym joining mentioned earlier I think.

If anyone wants to join a gym please say.

Apparently if I refer a friend, anywhere in the country to my brand of gym, I get a big goodie bag and i think the joinee does too.

No change here but have lost some this month.

I've lost the plot completely....just nipped out to get a bottle of wine and somehow managed to go in the chippy and get myself chips and curry sauce... Was the best thing I've ate in months

Stellar that's brilliant, you're putting me to shame!! No shame in September though I'm determined it will be epic

Sooooo I've finally made it back on the thread won't bore you with my terrible eating/gains that was August but am keen for a new start.
Have been 'running' a few times the last couple of weeks so hopefully can keep that up.

Hope everyone is well.

I think September is going to be a good month as we can all look back on August and be happy in the knowledge that we've done soooo much better! I'm back to work on Monday and I'm dreading the staff room as it's a carb lover's dream and teachers are feeders! Thank you for your kind welcome and allowing me to come from lurking to posting. Christmas is my motivation and looking forward to a successful September! Ps well done for all the gym attending and positive thoughts:)

Morninnnggg, 12.7 today, so almost get the bank holiday gain off and am +2lbs for the month, although my scale was ver indecisive between 12.7 and 12.6

Hoping for another lb or more off overnight so I will have ended the month on minimal damage!

No more events etc. planned for a good while after this weekend, so fingers crossed I will be able to get in a few angel weeks with golden weekends! Would love to be at final goal by Christmas still can't decide what that is though 9 something

Hairspray hoping you mean 10.7?

yes! 10.7

12.7 would be horrifying beyond all belief as that was my Jan start weight!!!

I made the same mistake 3 times! what is wrong with me!!! ahah

I've actually ended the month 0.1lb down. But that's still 5lbs up on my lowest.

I am committing to getting back to my lowest weight in September. I will make an official pledge on the new thread

I am going with an "official weight" tomorrow Boop

I actually am back to 12st 6 3/4 this morning which ties my best this year
obviously two days of mainly chicken, salad and veg has worked well and I did use the afternoon chocolate splurge as motivation to not have a prnight. Quim's coffee and small dark chocolate worked its magic

Lees I don't like chips but i love your random food purchase on the way to buying wine.....perfect slenderista behaviour

Yay tv! You're closer to 12 than 13 again. Very well done. Now to push on through September.

I do feel this will be our month.
