Hi All, Friday morning catch up time and probably the last one for the month in this Forum. I have just updated everyones results for the month, still one or two missing however we get the picture pretty well from who has reported in. Total reported reduction was a massive 118.85lbs (53.90kgs) Our initial goal was 160lbs so that’s a 74% achievement, pretty good I think.

Chocolate fish to our STAR FOR THE MONTH goes to BOGLETT from Sydney, a great 9lbs (4lbs goal) so well done Boglett (love that name, it conjures up all sorts of images !!!)

Close behind Boglett is JFITZY with 8lbs, LIFESABEACH 7lbs, well done everyone else for all the 4, 5 and 6lbs reductions as well. Then there are the 1, 2’s and 3’s who also all contributed. Don’t forget 1 or 2lbs are lighter than at the start of the month, even people who are status quo with no reduction mean also THERE WAS NO GAIN EITHER, so isn’t that a huge win in itself, to end the month the same weight as you started, it means your life is in balance with your food consumption and no weight is being stored.

Next month’s goals can be sent through to Chipmunk in the October Forum. A small suggestion, set a goal that isn’t too ambitious, don’t set yourself up to fail, it’s better to be conservative (say 5lbs instead of 7lbs) and then after 3 weeks you have only achieved 2lbs and life becomes too difficult. We all feel so much better when we over achieve rather than struggle to achieve.

Take care everyone and I’ll see you all in Rocktober and thanks for all the kind words during the month, it was a pleasure keeping you all on track. Here’s a little quote I like and it sort of sums up what we are all looking to achieve in our lives:

“We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your past or your mistakes, you are not your struggles. You are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.”

Cheers, Mike
