A Happy Friday and Happy August Folks! 1 of 31 chances to to be better at being you lies before you. How you gonna handle this opportunity?0

Good morning on this fine foggy day in South Missouri.0

I'm going to pull up my boot straps and dive in! My goal for this month is to get well into the 280s and as far away from 300 as possible. I really want to hit 289 this month and also 290 which will put me back at 200 lbs lost.
No loss this week after a 6 lb loss last week, I guess that is to be expected. In all reality I am really surprised after the way I ate in July that I am even under 300 at this point.
Good luck everyone, I look forward to seeing all the post and keeping track of who has been here.0 -
Greetings from Ohio. This seems like a great way to have a good, clean August. Today is a push movement day for me. Ive been doing a 3 day split for the past 6 weeks and it seems to be working well. Hopefully i'm still seeing progress by August 31st. Good luck to everyone on their August goals.0

Wow, have a couple of early risers in group - Good morning everyone!
Yesterday was a great day for me, even with my "cheat meal" (hate calling it that... but it's *supposed* to be my one indulgent meal during the week!). Stuck to the Paleo menu plan during the day and didn't snack in the evening. Yea me!
Tonight will be challenging. I volunteered to help at the "carb-loading" dinner for the participants of the 50 mile and 50K Endurance Run. I am bringing some of my own food, so I'm hoping I won't be tempted by the pasta dinner!
And tomorrow I run (okay, quickly hike and occasionally jog) the 23K Endurance Run. I don't think I would have even considered doing this, but after doing the Tough Mudder in June, I feel like I can handle this! :happy:0 -
Hey Guys,
Perfect timing on this challenge as I more or less took July off from tracking due to a series of vacation, work, work/pleasure trips. I guess all the vacation activity and such kept me honest because this morning I was at my lowest weight since starting this repair my metabolism, fully embrace the paleo/primal lifestyle journey started last November.
For August now that I feel I've more or less got my food, sleep and stress management dialed in, I want to add sprints 1-2 days a week and get back to lifting 1-2 days per week while continuing my 10-15k step movement goal per day. Otherwise no formal heavy cardio or efforts to burn calories. Not a fan of the calories in - calories out thing.0 -
Just checking in for the challenge. Looking for the stream that required just one or two sentences only. Where is it??0
-
Angela, Carol decided not to limit it to one or two sentences so conversations are even welcome. Check in is on this thread and I will start a new one each week with the same title. I should have added the date to the subject line. I will for next week. I will start a new one every Thursday night for us to start using on the following Friday.0
-
Hey all. Been eating better but completely put off logging... so here goes. Lol, date night tonight so I plan to eat some bad stuff, after that it's back to being strict!0
-
Hey, all! Let's get started! I began my morning with a bag of chips, and no gym! Not so hot, lol.
Howie & Carol, are these threads going to replace the "Chat and accountability" for the month of August?0 -
Yes this will replace but basically be the same thread as the chat and accountability. Only difference is I will be keeping track to see who posted each day.0
-
Okay, great. Thanks Howie.
I know it's been a while since I've been here, so here's my "Summer Check-in"
I haven't been doing so great this summer. I gained probably about 10 pounds back, but my wife and I recently decided to start a gym membership. We went consistently for about 2 weeks, but this week, we just kept making excuses. Hopefully, we'll get back on it, tomorrow morning, or even tonight. We usually go in the early morning, before work. It definitely makes me feel more energized through the day, which is awesome. Even the day that I only slept for about 3 hours, I didn't feel run down at work. We are starting to get back to our cleaner eating habits, just as soon as this tub of ice cream is gone!
lol
I feel next week will be great, and I will make it so!0 -
Dang, ya'll start early don't you!! Down another pound on the Friday weigh in, so 226 for me. To think, just a few weeks ago I was fighting to get below 230!! Perhaps with the challenge help, I can get below 220 by the end of September

10 check in's so far, that's a good start and the most I have seen on this thread. :-)0
-
Here I am!! Great week all! I'm at the pool! Carb loading. Ha!0
-
For August I just want to lose 4lb. This week so far hasn't been the best but still somewhat decent. I don't expect a loss but I'm fine with it. I'm going to "try" lowering my carb to 20g Next week. We'll see if that'd work better for me.0
-
I'm up for this challenge. Keep it up everyone!0
-
Skipped happy hour for Costco. All stocked with fresh fruit and veggies. Trying to make healthier choices every day.0
-
Happy Saturday Folks. Lots to do this weekend (as always). Blessed once again with another sunrise, and vertical movement. Hope all is well with all of you.0
-
Hello August 2nd!! Loved reading everyone's positive comments! Costco instead of happy hour Heronh! LOVE IT!!! I guess there are about 10-13 of us who are in it to win it so far! Howie will keep track - THANK YOU HOWIE!
So I have to REALLY apologize to all of you. I interviewed Ben Greenfield this week. His is so BIG time. Such a wealth of knowledge on biohacking and every cool trick to cutting fat. We even chatted about how his guns and the obstacle runs he is getting into. But my recorder was off!!! Wwwwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! So sorry. he can't fit me in until November.
So check him out at www.bengreenfield.com and if you can, please drop him a line that you'd love to hear the "lost interview" on Fat2FitHQ. I know he thinks I'm a flake. Hope he really reschedules.
My week has been weird. I'm being instructed not to try diet but not to be crazy. So I'm eating starchy carbs every night. Loving it. Gained back 4 lbs but that is expected. And I had pinacoladas and pancakes this week!!! So not worried about the gain, most should be water. It is my last day of that and I get back to a super strict Ultra Low Carb week with one Carb Nite. I'll do that for a couple more weeks until I'm back down to where I was before Tough Mudder. That is only about 6 lbs from where I weighed in this morning. I think I can safely do that in 2 or 3 weeks.
Keep up the awesomeness!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Angela Neale!!! Are you having a piece of cake?? Hope so!

Happy Saturday! Day for a much needed massage for me. IT bands need some work. (Which hurts so good). Stree management through meditation and semi-regular massage are keys to my wellness.0
-
Good morning everyone. Carol we have 15 post from yesterday. I had weasellady contact me though a private message. For some reason she could not post to the thread so hopefully she will be able to today. Jack also posted on my home page instead of here but I think he knows to come here now.
I did absolutely awful with treat night yesterday. I will be cutting a few calories this week to do damage control. I really have to work on my treats they just seem to get out of control.0 -
No weight loss this week. It's the 3rd week that the scale has not moved. Sigh...
Oh well let's hope next week is better 0 -
Well.... I was up late last night fishing with my wife, and trying to eat all the chicken wings in the state. So, today it's back to good food.
Discovered a new way to eat a favorite food by the way... I love tuna salad dipped from a bowl with crackers. Pork rinds are just as good, and celery ain't bad to dip with either!0 -
Off to the fair later today. I already did 2 miles this morning with the dogs, so all that extra walking is sure to help.0
-
Finished a push workout earlier today. Strength has really increased since starting the new split.0
-
This morning I joined a gym for the first time guys! My husband and best girlfriend who wants to lose 200 lbs joined too. I'm so excited!0
-
Went and spent 5 hour at the range today. was great fun with my son and friends. Walked over 5000 steps, great day.0

Aug 2 check-in:
I went to a Chinese buffet for lunch, but only because my wife's grandmother wanted to go.
I SWEAR, I'll get back on track, one of these days!0
