    I will be 46 on the 27th and I plan to be down to 145 by then which is my goal weight! I have been swimming for exercise and trying to keep my eating habits under control. That is difficult since it is BBQ season! Good luck to all!

    Loving this group!!! Something about August birthdays... we are AWESOME!

    What have you been doing to acheive your goals?

    I have been eating clean. Super clean. I try to eat as many natural/real foods as I can. This has made most of the difference in terms of fixing my metabolism. I am also a little over midway through Rushfit (which is an 8 week total body workout... created by GSP's trainner). Rushfit is hard. Intense workouts 5-6x a week. AS of this morning I am down to 151.8...with a goal of 140 (for now). I started at 191.6 (Jan 1). I am getting close with the goal of getting to 140 by my birthday (Aug 21).



    Have you made any new resolutions?

    Just to keep going and not give up. After Rushfit (will be done July 9th) I will probably do Ripped in 30...and then go back to another round of Rushfit. This program has really cut my legs down!


    Goodluck to all of the other August Babes!

    So what's this challenge all about? Are we going to check in weekly or do anything special? Or just be here to support each other?

    This is pretty much my routine:
    - workout 6x per week for 1 hour (boot camp 4 days, spin 1 day, and then running or biking 1 day)
    - eat 1,500 net calories per day
    - eat 5 small meals per day (I'm following Tom Venuto's plan that he lays out in the book "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle")
    - try to eat as cleanly as possible (no artificial sweeteners, packaged foods, sodas, alcohol)
    - drink 96-128 ounces of water per day
    - weigh in every Friday
    - I generally have one "cheat" meal per week - Friday night date night with my hubby! He's so supportive all week long - eating the foods I cook and generally not complaining about it - so we go out on Friday nights. Gotta keep it fun...right?...or what's the point! :love:

    I gained 2 pounds this last week - so now I have 10 pounds to lose by August 24th. So that's 10 pounds in 9.5 weeks - I TOTALLY GOT THIS!!! :laugh: :drinker: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    YAY August babies! :bigsmile:
