I'm going to do as many Hot 26 (Bikram) Yoga classes as I can (the difference in my body over just 3 weeks is amazing, can't wait to see what I can do by Labor Day. I touched my forehead to me left knee this week! SQUEE) 2. I'm going to stay between 1200-1500 calories; mostly low carb 3. I'm going to keep averaging over 10K steps a day. So - pretty much keep doing what I've been doing since the beginning of last month but with a bit more INTENT and focus.

I never set an "official" start date as I know we all have different schedules and preferences for weighing-in. I'm a Friday girl myself. Wow, you're quite the limber lady! I like what you said about INTENT, that's perfect!0 -

That's a good choice to focus on!

First day of the challenge for me and I got a late night workout in. I really had a long day and didn't have time to exercise earlier. I wanted to go to bed, but thought about the goals I've set and decided to get one in before bed. Glad I did, thanks for the motivation!
I hope everyone had a good day and has a great weekend!
P.S. Never, Ever, Ever, EVER, QUIT!2 -
I'm in if I'm not too late to the party. I lost 40 pounds last year but gained it back 😟 I'm working on long term changes. My birthday is 9/8 and I'd love to lose 5 pounds by then.

Not too late! I've struggled to keep off the weight permanently as well, so we're in the same boat. I say we let this be the start of a real life change!1 -

Oh wow, sugar is my nemesis and ice cream is probably my favorite thing to eat! I'm never giving it up, just learning to eat it in moderation. Welcome to the challenge!0 -
I’d like to join you in your mini goal to Labor Day Weekend. I’ve been totally stressed out with selling my house. It did sell in a week and now we are under contract. We’ve been busy but eating out a lot due to not being in the house when it was being showed. I got up earlier today and went for a 45 minute walk. I plan on buying some fresh fruits later in the day.you ladies seem so nice. I like your upbeat attitude. How do you show your progress? Current weight: 196 goal is to lose 7lbs. By Labor Day.1

Congrats of selling the house! I know that can be so stressful!
We're pretty informal about the weigh-in, just choose a day of the week that works for you and share your progress on this thread. The challenge officially ends on 8/31, but you can do your final weigh-in any time around Labor Day. Also, feel free to share any tips, challenges, humor or anything else that would be helpful or interesting.

I got my workout in this morning. I found a low-impact, standing only, HIIT workout I like on YouTube. It gets my heart rate up there and wears me out for sure! Honestly, today I woke up very achy and didn't even want to do it, but I promised myself and this group that I would, so I did. Then 1/2 way through it I really, really, really, wanted to quit, but I didn't.
So, that's the story, I didn't quit on myself today!
Happy Saturday!5 -
Well, I’m disappointed with today’s weigh in 201 lbs. I couldn’t get accurate measurements this morning. At least we haven’t eaten out this week.1

Unless you consumed a whole 3,500 in excess of what you burned I think that scale is a liar! I weighed 1.2 lbs more 2 days later and I know, without a doubt, that was a BIG FAT lie. Scales are fickle like that
As far as the weekend eating, it's just a goal to work towards like my sugar intake issue. Little changes will make a difference!1
