Week 5 Check-In: Week of July 6, 2015
Good morning everyone! Or good evening since I'm posting this the night before so everyone can start checking in first thing tomorrow. I'll be back to check-in in the morning. :)

Welcome to Week 5 of 12 Weeks, 20 lbs, a group of people supporting and encouraging each other in our journey to better health in 12 week increments. The idea behind this group is, by setting smaller more attainable goals (20 pounds in 12 weeks), we will be more likely to succeed at our long term goals. We started this 12 week cycle on June 8, 2015 but feel free to jump in any time!

By checking in each week, we can assess which goals and resolutions are working, which aren’t, and improve them for the next week. Thank you so much for being a part of this group. Here's to reaching our 12 week goals! Have a wonderful week. :smiley:

To get started, copy and paste the four items below in your post:
Weight loss goal for the 12 weeks:
Net weight loss this week/Net weight loss from June 8th:
Weekly victories:
Goals for this week/Areas I can improve:

    On still on vacation and cannot weigh in. Food choices have been a challenge. The only great thing had been the enormous amount of walking. My fitness tracker days I've walked 27+ miles this week.

    We fly home tomorrow so I'll get back in the groove.

    Have a safe trip back and don't weigh in for a few days. You could see some water weight. :)
