    6/27:248 Total 14 lbs.

    Down 20 lbs!! I heard that a realistic (and healthy) weight loss goal is 10% of body weight in 13 weeks. Which means only 6 more pounds for that first major milestone. I am beginning to believe I can do this!!

    You CAN do this!!

    good morning ! No change for me this week.:noway: I'm starting to track my sugar which I believe has something to do with my lack of movement on the scale last month. I've been eating so much fresh fruit, my sugar has been really high. So the plan is to limit the fresh fruit with more fresh veggies considerably. Hopefully that will do it. My trainer said once your body gets to be more efficient, you can't lower the calories back. ( which I had tried to do after I raised them) So back up they went with a new focus. 4 more weigh in days till labor day...gotta see some movement this month.Off to farmers market this morning. Have a Great week !!

    Checkin in here, Ace! I'm down to 312.5, which is 2.5lbs past my original Labor Day Goal of weighin 315lbs (down from 334). Was wondering if you got my PM about changing my goal to 305 for Labor Day?

    Today is the end of week 10! Crazy!!! Hope everyone have a great week! Tomorrow begins week 11! Woo hoo!
    This weeks challenge is.....side planks! It's just like a plank but you lie on one side to begin with and use your arm to lift your body up.... Here's a video showing what it is, if you don't know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaA1r5w4CSk&feature=related
    You can also put your knees on the floor to help

    Good luck this week!

    last week - 214.6
    this week - 213.6

    week's loss - 1.0 lbs

    i've had a bad couple weeks, so i'm pretty happy with this loss. i went away for 3 days, and since i've been back, it's a different story every night. BBQ at grama's, chinese when the power went out, and a birthday dinner at my favorite restaurant....

    so...yeah...no complaints about 1 lb at all :)
