    I lost 2.2lbs this week! :happy: I've lost 4.2lbs this month so I'll have to give a big push and get to 5lbs by the end of the month! It definitely seems more achievable now, only 0.8lbs and I've got a full week to get there. :heart:
    Hope everyone is well! :)

    Happy Friday!

    Well my weight is all over the place these days. Yesterday I was 2 pounds lighter than this morning but since this is my weigh-in day I will post that disappointing number

    July 1 is 177.8 pounds!
    July 16 178.8
    July 23 180.8 Up 3 pounds this month

    Question do you find the day after a big cardio (ran 5 miles yesterday) your weight is up the next day? I have noticed this trend because I weigh myself daily but the day after running I am always up 2 pounds from the day before.

    Not sure if I am ready to run barefoot yet either but the book Born to Run gave me some ideas to ponder.

    Amanda take care being sick is not fun.

    Those who are close to their goal keep going. 8 days to meet that 5 pound goal. I know I will not make it but I did reach the 5 mile mark on my running.

    Have a healthy Friday!

    Work it Kelly!! Good luck on Saturday!!
    Krinio- nice job on the loss!!! You can make it to 5lbs!
    Terri-keep on pushing through, that number will go down. I think it's probably pretty common for you to gain a bit after a long run. *hugs* I love your attitude, you are sucha great woman!


    Well, I really didn't think I could do it....
    July 1: 222.6
    July 5: 221.4
    July 12: 218.8
    July 19: 217.8 --TOM--
    July 26: 214.2

    8.4lbs long gone!!!! I just might hit 'onederland' by Sept :)
    Have a great weekend all!! Bru

    I'm on my way out the door, but I wanted to post a quick weigh-in. I decided to weigh myself this morning, since I will be away this weekend.

    DOWN 4 POUNDS THIS MONTH; ONLY 1 MORE TO GO!!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:

    All the more reason to 'behave' myself while I am away...

    July 3: 159.75
    July 10: 157.75
    July 17: ---
    July 24: 155.75

    Hi all

    Up a pound today. I am sure its water but it still sucks.
    july 1 150.6
    july 16 147.8
    july 23 148.8

    Terri, when we push our muscles they retain water to repair so that could be what you are seeing.

    thanks for the info. I think I remember reading that so it was good to hear that is probably why the scale jumps up!

    Weighing in at 160 today. I was upset at first but then I realized that is a 2 lb loss this week! I guess I conveniently forget about the weight I gain. :laugh:

    Kelly, yes I will be diving in Mexico. I am going to Playa del Carmen. I will dive in Cozumel and in the cenotes in Playa. I am really excited!

    Good job to everyone who lost! Keep at it to those who didn't!

    Guess I missed out on this month, but if there is a challenge for August, I would love to join...I did manage to lose this month, and I think it was right around 5 pounds....Great Job to all of you who met your goals and keep on trying to those who didn't quite get there.

    You are all so inspirational in your own way, even those of you who are having a hard time lately, it shows it happens to all of us now and then.

    July 1st- 195.5 (under 200!)
    July 7th- 197.8 (dumb 4th)
    July 16th- 187.8 (I made it to the 18Xs!!!)
    July 23rd- 185.0 (that's .3 less than my Sept 1st goal!)

    Have a beautiful weekend, with lots of movement!

    Happy Friday night everyone... I'm at my mom's for the weekend - should be interesting to see how the healthy eating holds up. We went to Pizza Hut for supper, and although I ate fettucine alfredo, my portion was more modest than usual. Focus, focus, focus... One more pound to meet July's goal; one more pound; one more pound...

    Thanks to all of you for all your support - I am finally at my pre-pregnancy weight!

    There is only one week left in this month, just wondering how everyone is coming with their 5 pound weight loss. Will you meet it? exceed it? I hope everyone is working hard to end the month as strong as we started.
