    Ok so Monday is here and Cw= 247 i've decided that my goal weight will be 232. Considering that i managed to lose ten pounds in eight weeks doing midsummer meltdown i think losing 15 pounds should be achievable. My NSV goal is at the end of this to finally be down a dress size, those UK 18's have been hanging on for a while now.
    Hope to see you all soon!

    ********************** WEEK # 1 CHALLENGE ******************************

    Food - Drinking 10 glasses of water each day. Water is so important to a healthy lifestyle but is often forgotten about during the day. Here's word of warning.....Don't wait until the end of the day to get in all your water....you won't have a good night's sleep! :wink:

    Exercise - Include weights into your workouts. Whatever your exercise routine is, include hand or ankle weights to get that extra strength training. You choose the weight

    Good Luck, Everyone!!

    GW-143

    Okay, so my weight is up from last week. Not super thrilled about that but I didn't have the greatest weekend eating either so I"m going to assume that will just come off in a couple days. I haven't come up with my NSV yet so I will report back when I do.

    Don't worry! I forget you all live in the US... hence my use of Northern English slang i.e I'm mafting. I usually dont do my exercise until the evening anyway.

    GW: 125.0
    Goal: 8.0 lbs

    NVS: Have my jeans feel loose again rather than skin tight.

    Also, I am really working towards actually using my gym membership more consistantly and create an actual schedule to work out. I am going to start Jillian Michaels Shred and really try to stick to doing that at least 3 times a week and also going to the gym to get cardio in 2-3 time a week also.

    GW:235

    I hope to lose 11 lbs

    NSV:
    1. Maintain my CW through 7/16 (my sister's wedding). I recently got my dressed altered, I had 7 inches removed from the dress and it must fit.

    I'll reevaluate NSV after the wedding :smile:

    @Ailene...I LOVE the water challenge:love:. Increasing my water intake really made a huge difference for me. I'm going to shoot for 15 - 20 glasses of water.

    Hi all, I'm new to MFP and hoping you don't mind me joining your group! I've been up and down weight wise a lot over the last few years and it is time to get my weight and health under control before it's "too late." A lot of the woomen in my family have Type 2 diabetes and I would really like to get a handle on my weight and what I am putting into my mouth to try to avoid that.

    CW: 196
    GW: 180

    Goals:
    1) Lose 16 pounds by 9/5
    2) go from a size 16 to a size 12/14
    3) USE my gym membership instead of just paying to have a cute tag on my keys! ;) My goal is to go to the gym at least 3 times per week.
    4) Track everything that goes into my mouth... If I bite it, I write it!
