    Thanks Cheryl
    I am fighting constantly to achieve my goals and often let my emotions control my decisions and I must up my exercise. So getting through today without over doing it will be a challenge in itself, life is short and sometimes
    you must eat cake :p

    Doing a little grilling this holiday weekend? With tons of burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, and beer around, you don't want to go overboard on the calories. To avoid packing on the pounds this weekend, here are some ways to add a healthy spin to your barbecue.

    * Bring a healthy dish
    * Go for homemade guacamole instead of creamy dips & Chips
    * Grill up some veggies
    * Don't always choose beef, try chicken or fish
    * Go easy on the alcohol
    * Get moving after your meal

    I haven't exercised this week, it has been 100+ here in my little part of Oregon so I have been focused on what I am eating. I still have been getting my 10K/5mi of walking in (which doesn't count for me). I hope to get in some pilates before the heat ramps up.
    Happy 4th!!

    Ok made it through the 4th but not as healthy as I had wanted. I ate BBQ grilled chicken, a few fries and a salad for dinner. Breakfast was 2 eggs and 1 turkey sausage and lunch was salad with grilled chicken.
    I did not panic. I got up went for 1 hour walk, cleaned the house and had a protein shake for breakfast.
    So not to bad. I plan to walk again in the even and eat light today. I HOPE to see the scale has move when I weigh in Monday. How did everyone else do?

    Quick question though, shouldn't this go until September 21? If July 6th is the end of week one, the 14th of August only takes us through 11 weeks.

    I need to lose weight as I have clicking hips and knees, and at an age when I can't put it off any longer. My liver is damaged, but repairable, so here starts the new me. Just booked my holiday of a lifetime, for next year, 1 month in the South of France, and it's so hot there, I need to be able to go swimming....... Just to self conscious arm.

    Welcome Newbies
    It doesn't matter when you start, its your 12 week challenge. Some of us started June the 30th and others on different days or week. Its really about challenging yourself to take the journey for 12 weeks and keep going until you get to your goal. It make take me 3 or 4 (12) week journeys to get where I want to be, but its important to start and stick with it. Share your journey and support others here on the journey and so you will feel right at home. Please make some knew friends and post your daily or weekly ( whatever is best for you). We are all here to help and thanks again for joining.
