So did I tell you guys I'm going to a wedding in Aug which is my new motivation for getting the last bit of weight off?? Yep. lol I needed this though to help remind me of my goal. :bigsmile:

Hey ... I have a wedding in August too, my baby daughter is getting married

Maggs- That geocaching thing really intrigues me. I went to the website and there are TONS of them near me. How much is the little gps thing?

The gps prices are varied. My friend uses her iphone to geocache so if you have a phone with a gps, that works well. I bought a rather pricey gps because I'm so into hiking too ... I can buy map programs and download trails onto my gps too. It was about $250 (don't tell my hubby). There were some around $80 and others around $500 so I guess I got a middle priced one. It does more than just show you where to go, it has the ability to find fish in a lake, it records the distance you've gone, it has a stop watch, a calculator, and a whole bunch of other gadgets. Personally, I bought it for the touch screen abilities and the easy to read colour screen. I tried something cheaper that was black and white with touch pad controls and found it too difficult to use and I couldn't really see the screen very well (old eyes is what my optometrist says).

Yes, it's very exciting about her wedding. We've been waiting a long time. I can't post pictures of the gown right now because it's a big secret from the groom and her dad. As soon as the wedding is done I'll post some pictures ... if I can figure out how :happy:

The posts this week have been really lovely. I'm so happy that i am a part of this group.

My weight losses recently have been weird. I have got into the habit of weighing myself every morning and everyday this week i weighed in at 132.8lbs showing a 0.2 loss (which is great every little helps) and then this morning i weighed in at 131.0lbs which is an amazing 2lb loss. It did the same last week all week it showed a gain then on friday a loss. weird. I guess thats why they tell you to only weigh once a week.

SW- 180lbs
LW - 133.0lbs
CW - 131.0lbs

Magglett - congratulations for your daughter. Have you picked your mother of the bride outfit yet? You must be excited.

Busymum - there is no better incentive to lose weight and hit goals than a wedding to go to. good luck.

And welcome to all the new posters in this group.

I did pick the dress yes ... I'm not sure how to post a picture here (unless I steal it from the web :laugh: ). If I figure it out I'll post one.

i received my bodybugg strap yesterday towards the evening so i have monthly subscription to the bodybugg site...just started it up again yesterday...i'm so psyched to start bugging it again...i haven't been using it due to the fact that my bodybugg strap lost its velcro so i went on the 24hourfitness.com and checked out the prices for the strap and they were on sale for less than 10 dollars i got the zebra print one...this is definitely going to help me in losing 5 ibs a month

Challenges will run Sunday to Saturday

JUNE 13-19: Burn 1500 cal
JUNE 20-26: Burn 1750 cal
JUNE 27-JULY 3: Burn 2000 cal
JULY 4-JULY 10: Burn 2250 cal
JULY 11-17: Burn 2500 cal
JULY 18-24: Burn 2750 cal
JULY 25-31: Burn 3000 cal
AUG 1-AUG 7: Burn 3250 cal
AUG 8-14: Burn 3500 cal

I propose a graduated scale challenge for calorie burn:

By August 14 we should have worked our way up to 3500 calories burned a week without stressing or injuring our bodies. We will increase our burn by 250 calories a week, which amounts to a total of 25 minutes over the week, or 5 extra minutes at the end of each workout. Slowly we will build up the time we are spending on exercise. Feel free to do more than the week goal, but try to aim for it as a minimum.

today i will be starting my regular walking routine...meaning i haven't been on my regular walking route for quite awhile...PLUS it's a cheat day for me...so the weekends are cheat days...my walking routine is so close to starbucks and i haven't had starbucks since they had that special going on for the week or weekend of half price frapps...i sorta kinda wish there were coupons or a punch card for those...lol...buy so many and get one free after the punch card is filled...lol...i'll be smart and still check out the calorie intake of course by going online and see if they have a nutrition value and mark that down...even though its the weekend i'm still measuring my food and checking out the calorie intake
