    Successes / struggles this week:
    Recently turned 50 and weight gain, poor eating habits and no exercise have left me feeling sluggish. Hoping to quit my Dr Pepper and fast food habit and begin eating healthy and exercising to feel energetic and healthy again. Losing weight at 50 is proving to be much more difficult than it was years ago, but I'm determined to do this for my health and vitality. Looking forward to sharing common goals with others.

    Successes / struggles this week: I live in the Pacific NW and it is supposed to get into the 90's this week, which is crazy hot for us here as 95% of the households don't have AC. I workout at home and it is going to be HAWT which makes for miserable working out conditions. I going to really still try to get some good workouts in and stay cool B)

    So tired of the yo-yo. Whenever I consistently log my food I lose weight . As soon as I slack off I gain it back. Goal is to keep logging even on the weekends!

    Working away from home Monday / Tuesday and moving house at the weekend on my own. A perfect opportunity for me to find excuses to be lazy and return to bad habits. This week is going to be a challenge (particularly to avoid alcohol at the end of some very busy days!)

    Successes / struggles this week: Back for more after a successful July! I've set a pretty aggressive goal for this month instead of my usual 5 lbs, as I really want to push myself. My struggle is always the diet, so I know if I really focus on it this month I should be able to lose 10 lbs. I'm also signed up for a 30 day challenge at my gym this month, so hopefully I'll have a little extra focus this month. I had to shell out money for the gym challenge so I better see results!

    Working away from home until 8th August. I find when I am away I can focus, no distractions from my lovely hubby. Although all the English food I don't normally get access too is a big temptation. My August target is only 4 lbs, I am only 8 lbs from my final goal weight so I expect it to be slow

    Hi Claire, Can I join your group s'il vous plaît? I live in the US but I speak French and dream of living in France
