Happy Aug 1st! So happy July is over and I hit my goal...well...I lost 10 lbs. That's good enough for me. =)
Today starts my August challenge with myself! I want to lose 10 lbs by 08/28. That will bring me down to 224. I'm really going to push myself to get there. I have a few obstacles this month, WI State Fair and going on mini vacay to see my mom. Both are happening in the same 5 day span. The Fair I'm not too worried about, it's the going down to my moms. I always fall back on emotional eating. This time, though, I'm going fully aware of what could happen and I'm going to prepare myself. I'm taking my scale and lots of water. (her water isn't good, well not that it's not good, it's well water and I like ICE MOUNTAIN...LOL) I *THINK* it will be ok.
Anyone else have a August goal???
LET'S DO THIS!!!

My goal is to get back on track. I have some travelling, but I have to put a plan in place to control my eating and figure out how to get some exercise in. My goal until the end of the year is 1.6 pounds per week. It's not a lot, but given I've gained for the last 4 months, it's an aggressive goal! :)

And I totally understand what you mean when the water isn't good. We grew up on a well and our water had so much iron and minerals it tasted funny, and was not even the same as bottled water! :)

I graduate this month so I will have lots of free time to START exercising regularly. My plans are to lose 10-15 this month with aggressive exercising. I did it once and I can certainly do it again. Great progress HerStrawberri! :)

So proud of you for getting to your goal in July! I get pretty frustrated by the scale, since it doesnt always correspond with the work I put in, so my goal is to average 1450kcal for the month of August and average 3050 kcal of exercise, so a 1600kcal deficit/day (which is actually more like 1000 kcal/day deficit, since I have found that FS tends to overstate my exercise). Wishing you the best!!

Congratulations on your July goal, and thanks for friend-ing me! Your story (read your profile) is very inspirational. I hope to follow in your footsteps. My goal for August is 8 lbs, and I've already logged a loss of 1.4. Yay! Here's to going over!
