Exercise Yes Puppy and I went to the Farmers Market. It is definitely busier on a Saturday. They were also having "Fire in the Park". It was a safety event for kids with the Fire/ambulance/rescue teams. So of course we had to go exploring.4 -

Weigh in week: July week 4
Weigh in day: Monday
Previous weight 146.6
Current weight: 145.4
I began this journey at 262 pounds. While I’ve tried many many times in the past, doing different programs including using MFP a few years ago, something clicked this time. I have been completely motivated to continue to my goal. At this point I am .4 pounds away!!
I am so excited and proud of where I am now and how far I’ve come. I am now ready for the next step: maintenance. With that, this will be my last week in the challenge. I need to start changing my thinking from losing weight to holding steady.
I want to thank you all for the support this group has provided. I’ll still be around this week for the mini challenge and to cheer you all on.
Good luck to you all in August!!4 -

Another fantastic weigh-in!! On paper, your week didn't seem like a two pound loss was possible, but you were obviously close on the days you were not "under", and/or more active than you thought on days you did not formally exercise!! Very well done!!1 -

Your story is very inspirational. Like you, something clicked for me this time after many years of failing. Usually giving up after a few weeks, a month at most. I still have a long way to go, but reading about how you stuck it out the whole way and are planning on maintaining gives me hope. I haven’t set an end goal as of yet, taking it daily and weekly has helped me so far. But i am sure as it gets closer I will know where I want to be.
Thanks and good luck with the rest of your journey1 -
A bit of housekeeping.....
The August thread is up. For those continuing on, please pop over there at your earliest convenience and introduce yourselves to the new team mates that will come our way!!
Speaking of August, there are five weeks in the August Challenge, and I am away for two of them. We leave on the 13th and come back on the 27th so, basically, I am away for week #3 and week #4. I am looking for someone to volunteer to enter weights for those two weeks into the spreadsheet (Craig or Ashley will have to give you access first), and do the mini challenge results and the weekly results while I am away. I could do week #2 results right before we leave, and week #4 after we come back (maybe by the Wednesday?) so it would really only be one week, #3 that I am completely away for, mini challenge wise. The alternative will be to have Craig and/or Ashley enter the weights themselves, and we forego the mini challenge for that week, which is also a feasible way to go. Think about it. All I know is, that while I am in Europe visiting my son, I will not even be logging in to MFP!2 -
