I have so blown my progress. I must buckle down. With only 23 days to go, I can hit my goal, but I have to keep my eye on the prize.

How do you all stay motivated?

First I don't look at it as blown and set a weekly goal like log what you are eating and stop looking at things of what and when you are eating and focus on getting other things done and that you need good fuel to get this stuff done. When you put goal pressures on your self you are redirecting your journey. Plan your day around activities and at every meal ask how will help you fuel your body to do the activities. It's how you think.

I run 3 miles (6:45 mile pace) everyday followed by around 40 minutes of weight lifting. I have reduced my calorie intake to around 1600-1700 per day. I have done some sort of variation of this workout for the last few years so the only thing I really changed was my calorie intake and the results have been pretty good. While there are times I feel tired and lazy because of the deficit, I have managed to maintain the same amount of weight and reps on all my exercises. I'm basically at my goal but I'm going to adjust to really push myself. I'm currently at 15% bf and would like to be closer to 12%. keep up the good work guys and stay motivated.

Had a great week, both nutritionally and physically.

Really stuck to my macros and workout schedule.

I signed up for a 5k on September 9th and began a training program for it. Clothes are getting looser and for the first time in I don't know how long, I moved from the second to the third hole on the belt!

This week has been a bit hard because I had to go outside of my regular eating pattern for different activities. I also had very persistent cravings for sweets and unhealthy stuff (yes, I gave in a few times), but I always managed to stay within my 1200 calories thankfully. I'm hoping to be better this week. *Fingers crossed*.

All the best everyone. Slow progress is better than no progress!

Great week on the exercise side of things but very challenging on the food. However, because of significant classes (spin, body pump, HIIT & circuit training), my over indulgent eating has not created too much of a catastrophe and I am well on target to hit my goal - I will absolutely stay in control this week.

6/19: 200.8 an improvement, so I'm happy about that! Doing Insanity, trying to eat balanced meals and watch my water intake as well.

6/26: 197.6 It was actually lower two days ago, but I made a few choices that I know I can adjust. So far I'm doing well and trying to stay consistent with my food intake.

7/3: 199 I was holding at 197 for about 3 days and then over ate one day and here we are. Surprised that I jumped up this much, but hopefully will go back down again.

I am having a minor setback. I don't think it is broke. I might have to go in for an x-ray. I attached a pic of it getting better but I tell you that I am more thankful for the ability to walk. When it finishes healing I will be looking at exercise as something more positive. This setback sucks

OH MY! How did this happen!? Look like something very heavy landed right on top of your foot.
Hopefully it heals fast.

I have been living hell with the rest of you. I would so love to be able to run right now. Note back to post about 4 x 4 to the foot. I have been eating things like ice cream and trail mix and magic shell. I was happy to see 134 this morning which is not in the correct direction. I think it is +4 pounds. The crap road stops here. All this crap did not make my foot feel better. Note to self. crap food causes inflammation. I hurt all over not just my foot. Time to move on. For all of us that did well over the holiday please share a tip in the group page and those of us that had a couple of stumbles- would of , could of, should of, take 1 learning point away and let's move on. Enough said. We all have good and bad days and that's why it is a challenge. This is not a group of people where healthy eating and working out is a huge 100 % habit. It's a challenge.
