    Don't be embarrassed. My "running" speed is most people's walking speed. Just keep doing it.

    My goal for the summer, is to get to or under 190 lbs. To start eating healthier, continue with MFP, get in more exercise, don't take too much to heart, don't let my emotions rule what I eat. Ambitious I know but doable I'm sure.
    I've got a back surgery coming up - this will be my third! But I am not going to let it keep me down and I'm going to write myself inspirational quotes to help keep me motivated.

    Now that August has started, I figure we should check in and see how we're progressing.

    I'm biking 25 miles/week and really enjoying it. I've been pleasantly surprised how much improvement in both distance and speed I've managed so far. I've lost 8 pounds so I've still got some to go to hit the 15 I'm shooting for.

    I'd like to lose a few of the last 7 lbs I need to lose but beyond that all my goals are really strength related. I'd like to get my DL to 200 lbs before summer is over and my bench press to 115lbs. The others will fall in place if I can push those two. I'm working towards a 5 mile walk/jog with the dog as well.

    Wishing all of you good luck on your goals.

    Hmmmm, I actually forgot about this thread. So far I've lost one of those 7 lbs, inched my bench up to 95lbs unassisted and I'm doing 175 dead lifts. I'm getting there but the longest walk the dog and I have done is still 4 miles........not sure why?

    Great work everyone!!!

    The dog doesn't want to walk five miles, that's why. If you go out tomorrow without the dog you will go five miles or better.

    I would like to lose another 15 by August 8 when I have to go to a wedding that seems on the verge of outdoing William and Kate. I will have lost 50 pounds then. So that and more consistency in weighing food is my goal.

    Well that hasn't happened. I lost 5 and then have been losing and gaining the same 3. It is killing me. All of a sudden, grinnding halt. The wedding is Saturday. Monday I am starting some new stuff to see if I can get this thing moving again.

    I'm going to try to get my running speed up, so that my minutes per mile goes down by one. Kind of embarrassed at how slow I am, so I'll save that number in my head for now...
    Well, I'm getting a little faster. Not sure if I'll make the one minute less per mile, but it is better.

    The summer has gone by fast. It's August already. I put in for my 6 month's gym reimbursement from my health insurance since I hit 50 visits and $200 already. I'm pretty happy about that.

    My goal is to just stay on track and not get lazy about maintaining and working out.
