Don't have a lot of time, just wanted to weigh-in!0 -
Holy smokes - how can there be 11 pages of posts already!!! The first week! I have been away with my husband for the last 5 days (no kids/computer - YAY!)
I don't think I can catch up on everyone so I will start from here!
Me:
8/1 weight - 157.4
goal for August - hold between 155-160 - maintaining my losses from June/July
goal for September - lose 5-10 to get to the 145-155 range and hold.
I am up today (and was yesterday) as the result of a beer/popcorn binge from the last night of my vacation with my husband. I am doing a 'correction' day (all protein day) and hope to be back down to my '"HOLD" weight of 159.2 or close by tomorrow or Sunday at the latest.
Glad to be back!0 -
I'm late checking in, but here I am again this month. I missed last months goal by a pound so we'll do 6 this month!! 164 August Goal 158 this month - OUT OF THE 160's!!!0

Weighed in this morning...
August 1: 213.8
August 6: 212.6
It's a slow go this month, but being my birthday this past Wed, I had many out days for food, hopefully I'll be back on track next week. My middle brothers 13th bday is the 16 so next weekend we are having a pool party and then the 21st is a MS walk that I signed up for and the following weekend is lazar tag (hopefully), so all my weekends are gonna be a lil rough (but lots of fun!) on the food and exercise front, so I'm planning on lots of fruits and veggie snack instead of chips and candy, etc. This week, exercise wise, I did get in the 2hrs of cleaning and today is my last 1hr walking day. Fruit days are all completed, I ran out of grapes, apples, and bananas! I only have a plum left! Grocery time! I will have next weeks challenge up Monday morning, I pick it, so any exercise ideas, please send a few my way, I have one in mind that anyone can do pretty much anywhere and you don't have to be great at it to do it!
Anyway, I'm headed out for my first walk of the day...I might be seeing Pauly Shore tonight in my town (unless it's sold out), so gonna get in as much of my exercise as possible before tonight. Oh, and I call in today for Jury Duty...booo.

1.2 already :bigsmile: and the humidity is supposed to be WAY down for the next few days so I'm thinking a nice long skate is in order!
Weddings & birthdays galore this month, hopefully they won't derail me too much :drinker:0 -
Weighing in a day early b/c I won't be near a computer tomorrow.
8/1 197
8/6 194.5
I was starting to worry about not losing until I realized that I was drinking a lot of water late at night:drinker: . This then carried over into the morning when I was weighing myself throughout the week and it was going up, not down. So I stopped drinking by 8 p.m. and finally got a truer result.:bigsmile:0 -

On another note, today would have been my mom's 86 birthday. she has been gone for 3 and a half years. I miss her sooooooooo much. Happy birthday Mommy!:drinker:
I hope you all do great this week.0 -
Hey all! Had a peek at the scale this morning (2 days early:blushing:) and I was exactly the same as last week
I'm not too worried, I've had a really tough week and although I stayed within my goal I wasn't eating quite as healthily as I usually do. Up side is, so far this week I've exercised double my weekly goal:drinker: Quite proud that I've turned stress-eating into stress-exercise!
So when I saw the scale hadn't moved, I sat down and wrote 2 lists. 1) Why do I want to reach my goal weight. and 2) What can I do to achieve my goal. It was very motivating, so fuelled my this new-found motivation I went back to my spin class! (which I hadn't been to for about 3weeks:blushing:) Worked my butt off! And my spin instructor remarked on how I'd lost weight! She thought it was more than 8lbs!
I've become an absolute exercise addict. Right now as I write this I'm thinking about what time I could get another gym session or swim in today. Great to see everyone is still so motivated. Keep it up guys! We can do this!

Weigh-in time...
August 1st- 183.5
August 6th- 182.5
1 LB!! A pound is a pound the world around!! I thought I had gained this week but WOW I'm down a pound, looking forward to making that goal by the end of the month!!! I'm a little worried about the coming weekend...family camping reunion, but have already packed lots of fruits and vegetables.
Keep up the great work everyone- you are all such an inspiration!! Have a beautiful weekend.0 -
On my friends 4G iPhone boy is it nice. But I am kinda clueless. But boy this could be addictive!!!0

Hello everyone, and congrats for those who lost.
Last night after the kids went to bed I felt like having a snack so started to go to bed early when my honey said "don't go to bed come watch tv with me and cuddle" well I should have gone to bed because I ended up eating a few little snacks. Not that bad health wise (apple and 2 string cheeses) but it put me over my calories all the same. I was happy to see that the scale was still nice to me though. I might have burned some extra calories at work because I am filling uniform orders for the students and was on my feet carrying boxes and moving clothes around all day. Hope this weekend I can get in some real exercise and stay on track with the food I eat.
My numbers...
8/2......152
8/6......147
I really don't think I lost 5 lbs in a week. When I weighed in on Monday I must have been holding lots of water. My daycare lady said that she can see every pound I gain or lose and that I am looking bloated in my tummy. True but still, don't tell me that! She said it in a nice way not to make me feel bad, we have been both trying to lose and she had not seen me for a few weeks because of my vaca. I did eat very badly while away. I love that she can tell me and not sugar coat things but if I don't ask I must not want to know, right! :laugh: After that I went home and tried on my dress for my sisters wedding, still a bit tight but I can zip it up again so I am getting there.
Veggies are the key for me. I am one who always eats so when I have the right stuff around I can do well. 3 fruits and 6 veggies yesterday.
Have a great weekend!

Good day everyone, your posts are so motivational. Congrats to those that lost this week.
I am doing Chalean Extreme right now and it is seriously kicking my butt. Also doing the treadmill and some 30D shred.Boy that 30D never gets old. It still chakkenges me after I have done it 30 days the first time. Any way am hoping for favorable weigh in. BTW, will be weighin in on Mondays every 2wks.
jesse14472 I looked at your before and in progress pic and I think you look good. Good job working so hard and thanks for sharing.
Robin sorry for the death of your mom, and happy birthday to you, mom:flowerforyou:0 -

Just opened a new YMCA a block down from where I work ...they had an open house....and they are giving our hospital a discount (Our hospital has something --I think joint in opening it up or something) so I went, I saw, I signed up.....Look out Kelly a new Zumba girl is going to be in the house, HA!!!!!
Hope eveyone is doing ok with this weeks BMK challange...I am going to have to hustle to get my walks in by SUN. but I am up for the challange...the rest of the stuff is in the bag......:bigsmile:
Yay for Zumba! My class is done for the summer right now. The gym is on their yearly 2 week shutdown right now & I'm waiting for the new classes schedule to come out (it was supposed to be out 3 weeks ago, but not yet!) hopefully when it does come out I will be able to fit Zumba into my schedule somewhere! I will be restarting my water aerobics class as well.0 -
I am in!

I weighed in this morning and lost, but my official weigh in day is Sunday, so I'll wait to post the final lose tomorrow!
I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow after church... hoping to have some self control when the sweets come out!0 -
Evening ladies...just wanted to let you all know that I went to the track where my son goes to school.....haven't been there for a good 4 weeks....I always run the stadium stairs during one of the laps....there are 144 steps (9 sections of 16 steps each), before...I would start giving out about the 4th section --and dread making it thru the other 5.......but not today I was easily at section 7 and 8 before I started to slow down......thats 144 steps up, 144 steps down....and I do 3 sets of those......I can't believe how great I feel....and then I thought how did I function carrying the extra 46lbs (that I've lost since April) around with me???? That would be like me running up the steps now but carrying my daughter with me and she only weighs 28lbs....I would never be able to do it.....anyway....just maybe try and do something you couldn't do before and see how you do now....it may remotivate you again....just a thought.....:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I said that I was in but I have not even weighed in yet. After returning from a vacation, I am scared to death to know the damage. I'll post the shocking results when I finally suck it up! I saw my eating mentality go right back to 6 months ago during this trip. Started with a little light snacking and ended with snacking, drinking, and snacking some more. Being back has gotten me away from all of it, but I still have the urge to be eating something! I forgot how much I hate that feeling! :explode:0

Morning one and all....going out for my 3rd 1hr walk as soon as my daughter gets up (taking her in the stroller to burn more calories--my son is at BaBa's (my mom's) soo just some girl time.....hope to finish my cleaning quota and get the car washed today...(?maybe a bike ride but depends when my son comes home)...and for fruit today......apple, watermelon and hopefully my peaches will be ready or I am going to have to settle for grapes.....have a GREAT day everyone.........:flowerforyou:0

so yesterday I really thought it was Saturday all day! I'm throwing a baby shower on Sunday and last night I finished all the prep work, made chicken salad, put stuff in my car.... and I wake up this morning, get online and realize it's Saturday TODAY! duh
anyway, I think I'm going to make Saturday my official weigh in day because Sundays are usually pretty busy for me. So.... as of this morning 2lbs lost! woohoo!0 -
Pretty sure I haven't lost a thing this week. I've doubled my goal exercise, so that's great and I've stayed within my calories, it's just that the food I've eaten hasn't been great. Stressful week, lots of family arguments so some nights were a bit iffy. :grumble: Had a peek at the scale today and yesterday and it's not looking good! I don't mind that much, next week will be better, guaranteed! I see everyone is doing very well! Congrats on all your losses! :flowerforyou:0

The wedding is history now and oh it was a lot of fun. My daughter and her husband seemed so happy and that is what is important.
We got to bed at 3 am so I have slept much longer than I usually do.Tomorrow I go back to work.WHAT HAPPENED to the summer.
Memories memories memories. At least I have some good ones. We had a lovely buffet served to the wedding guests but they didn't even open it up until midnight. A crazy time to eat but after waiting for hours and hours it was sure good.
What is the challenge this week?
Hope everyone is doing wonderful. I am cheering you all on. I am so proud of you and your ability to keep motivating each of us on a daily basis.

Welcome back, Phyllis.
Congrats to all who are losing....I'll be there soon too.
