    How did everyone do over the holiday weekend?

    I'm down another 1.8 lbs and SO close to my mini-goal, which comes due on Thursday!

    Well, I'm off to a Zumba class; I'm going to start my day off right!

    Any ideas for this week's challenge?

    Not too well,the weight is going up,I think I overexerted myself,and had very little sleep,
    and stress and everything rolled together,I lost inches off of my stubborn neck though,inches are keeping me sane,seriously!

    Hello, I did pretty good on Sunday, on Saturday I splitted up a bit, but over all not a bad weekend. My challenge for myself it to make sure I am drinking more water. My goal is 70oz./day. Some days I do really well with my water intake other days I am fighting to drink enough. Any suggestions on how to increase my water intake??

    Only lost .2lbs but as long as the scale is going in the right direction I'm happy :smile:

    I spent this weekend up north, on Lake Wawasee, with my boyfriend and his family. There was a lot of beer, a lot of bread, and not enough swimming. So, while I was down to 181 on Friday, I have now only lost a net amount of 1.5. Not horrible for my first week, but this second week needs to see results! I'm still doing the 200situpschallenge and the C25k, so I expect to see some more!

    Hope everyone had a great 4th of July and weekend!

    Ok. This week's challenge is a mental one! Think positive AT LEAST 95% of the week. :smile:

    No "fat" comments
    No "shame on me" thoughts
    No "I'll never be able to do this" thoughts

    Only positive thoughts! If you do have negative thoughts, step back from the situation and think about it logically...Did you REALLY gain 5 lbs overnight or was it just that you went over on your sodium??

    Are you up to the challenge??

    Ugh. I did 365 minutes of working out this week, feel great about that. BUT THE SCALE HASN'T MOVED! I mean I'm glad it hasn't gone up but I was really hoping for a little dip in the numbers...I worked hard, we went to the beach a lot and I was constantly moving-walking, jogging with my dog along the beach (sand is a great resistance), diving/jumping the waves in the ocean! I'm guessing I messed up by not always eating my 'extra' calories---but I cannot force myself to eat! I'm seriously not hungry all the time when I've worked out a lot =(

    Alright ladies...I just ordered a dress for my best friend's wedding on August 14th...it's probably a little too small, but it doesn't come in a bigger size. So I'm kicking it into HIGH GEAR for the next 6 weeks!!

    I WILL fit into that dress or die trying! :smile:

    Hello ladies! I didn't do so great for 4th of July, how could I resist all the yummy food the neighbors brought to the block party?! BUT I'm happy to report that I lost the 2 lbs I gained last week and one more! Bringing me to -3 from the last check-in. I worked out consistently last week and made sure I kept up with the challenges, even carried over the previous challenges.

    I'm back from my weekend away! I came back the same weight that I left, so that's a plus. And I'm thinking once I eat right, drink water, and workout today, it should go down a bit even. I didn't really indulge on the food too much (somewhat over on 4th of July but I ate as healthy as possible... plus cake and a s'more...) It's still 1.2 lbs less than last week's weigh in. I'm hoping this weekend I can have the same success, my bff from high school is visiting from tomorrow-sun. We'll be sightseeing and stuff in DC, so I just need to work on not eating too much :D

    I just got 2 BEAUTIFUL Calvin Klein dresses in the mail as my 2 options for my Maid of Honor dress...5 weeks and 3 days to look smokin' in one of those dresses!

    P.S. I'm really loving the whole "pick out whatever dress you want as long as it's black" rule for choosing my bridesmaid's dress. No ugly bridesmaid dresses for me! :smile:

    Good morning ladies. So after a great day - last night was a total bust... In the extreme heat we are having I have no desire to cook or workout... ugh. And my poor puppy got heat stroke - so no more running for him... even at night .... so I am down my running partner and it is not going to cool down anytime soon... but my eliptical arrives Friday and I am going to set it up in the basement where it is cool - the pups are just going to have to share their play area with me... haha... today is a new day... and I am going to stay on track!

    I've been looking for a group, and this one seems pretty perfect, right down to the challenges. I'm 20 and I've gained 20 lbs over the last 2 years (darn that freshman 15) and I would like to lose it in this next year. I feel pretty good about my habits, except on the weekends, so a Monday weigh in will hopefully keep me accountable. My starting weight is 140.2. Thanks!

    Don't let your mind beat you up!! Just take it one day at a time. Whatever happened today won't matter tomorrow. You can do it! :smile:

    I planned out all my meals for today because after I get off work at 5pm, I have to work from 6:30pm-11:30pm! So I'm having Panera for dinner and just figured out how to alter my favorite choices to tone it down on calories, fat and sodium! Check out the panera website! They have a nutrition calculator and after altering my favorites, my whole dinner will only be 370 cals, 24g protein and 750mg sodium...pretty good for eating out!

    Hope everyone had a good week; be good this weekend! Monday will be here soon! :smile:

    I went to the docs yesterday, I'm down 6.4lbs since I was last there(was before I join MFP)--it isn't a huge drop but the weight has stayed off for a few months now so I counted it as something good =)

    I'm doing well with the mental challenge this week, I tell myself something POSITIVE about my body each day...also taking a bit more time to my daily routine to look a little nicer... though some days I feel like its either me or the house that can look good not both! haha!

    It looks like I've survived 4th of July weekend without hurting my weight loss. Scale is down 0.8 lbs since I got back... whoot! New challenge for this weekend is that my best friend from high school is visiting me and we'll be going out to drink both nights. However, we will be walking around DC all tomorrow so that'll burn tons of calories. I managed eating out last night pretty well, and thinking positive wasn't too hard with my friends complimenting me all night. They haven't seen me since I dropped the 30 pounds so they were surprised.

    I'm also starting Chalean Extreme on Monday. That'll be an adventure, but hopefully it gets me to 150 by the end of our 20 week challenge. That would rock!

    I've decided that the best way to start the weekend is with an intense workout! It really helps me to remember to keep on track on the weekend.

    Weigh in on Monday! :smile:

    would love to join this group. I am a little behind, but need the motivation. I have really fallen off the exercise wagon. I recently went back to work and I am still trying to find the right balance between work, kids and home. It is harder than I thought and exercise has really suffered. My weight has really stayed steady (thank goodness). My starting weight is 150.0. (I was 172 at the start of the year, and this site has been wonderful)

    I've been working out hard this week; 6 days and over 4000 calories burned! I would have worked out every day, but I had to work on Friday night. I'm really looking forward to getting measured on Tuesday. I'm thinking that I have lost an inch or two... :smile:

    Just weighed in and I was in for such a shock. A wonderful shock. My current weight is 146.4. This is my lowest adult weight that I know of. I didnt do anything different, maybe just finally catching up on all the weeks of up and down a pound or two. Really motivated now
