    My gym closed a 1/2 hour early yesterday and they chucked me out, so I didn't get to do 1/2 my workout. Sigh.

    That sucks! Any idea why they closed early?

    Awesome work! Bet you are proud of that! Well done!

    How is everyone getting on? I went for a massive long beach walk yesterday. It was lovely. I've been at uni here for two years now and never walked all the way along the beach until now. I've also been riding my bike to get around, except I have to walk up the hills and ride down them, hehe!

    Foodwise, it's not going so well. I'm constantly hungry and have to use up all the food in the house before I go home on Sunday. A lot of it is carb-a-licious food which is not great as I'm not staying within my values. Bread, three different kinds of sugary cereals, ready-meals - it's not that great. But I'm more determined than ever! Life... bring it on.

    Hey,

    They closed early because there was a graduation party. However, I confirmed the closing time when I arrived and planned my workout accordingly, so getting kicked out early was ... annoying. I would have worked out differently had I known the real closing time. I got back there yesterday and spent an hour on the elliptical (thank the stars there are only 60 seconds each minute and not, say, 100! ;) and then did some machines for 30 minutes or so.

    I'm doing okay. Instead of 2 meals a day (big ones) that I used to do, for a month I've been eating 3 small meals and two snacks, and also trying not to eat after 9. I am not hungry. However my daily calorie target from MFP is 1340 ... which is exceedingly hard for me to hit unless I exercise. Pretty much I hafta do a half hour of cardio a day just so I can have dinner. LOL.

    I'll weigh in on Friday, although I typically consider Monday my weigh-in day as I feel it keeps me honest on the weekend. ;)

    Cheers,

    Sean

    That stinks - can you go out for walks to get some cardio in, or does it hurt too much to do that? A lot of my workouts right now are walking/jogging and riding my bike. Hope you get things figured out so you can get back to!

    Wow! You guys are really impressing me! I feel SO much motivation to keep up with your zeal and not let the group down. Plus I love the support that I see going around! Totally lovin' it!

    I have been doing pretty well this week, I feel. Exercised Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, but tonight I am just wiped out and taking a rest day. I did go over by 10 calories, though! Maybe I'll get a few jumping jacks in just to off-set that...

    Congrats to Dave on the loss for the first week! And don't forget that everyone can get their weight to me on Friday and I'll put it all together! Hoping for good results for all!

    I think we're off to a strong start, friends!

    Thanks Mandy! I was finishing up a challenge for June I was in and was pushing really hard for the first week in our group. I know about being whiped out! I was thinking about taking a rest day today, but may end up taking my daughter for a nice long walk (I normally plan it around nap time so she falls asleep about 5 minutes into the walk and I can go for as long as I can go, and as long as I can keep the sun off her!).

    Hope everyone is doing well with their food and exercise!

    As promised, my husband helped me post a result spreadsheet to our website. Check it out:

    www.schmole.com/myfitnesspal/results.htm

    (Thanks, Filip!) You'll see our starting weights, goal weights, how much each of us has to go during the challenge, and a place for everyone's weight for the 13 weeks of weigh-ins. Since Dave weighs on Wednesdays, his info is already there! For the rest of you, just post here or send me your result directly tomorrow...
    By the way, those NSVs have been flying around all over the place this week! Folks below their daily calorie goal, lots of exercises logged, good food choices made, friends sending encouraging comments. That's all good stuff, people!

    Hi everyone.

    So I weigh in on Mondays, but I'm waiting until Fridays to post as that is quite far in advance!

    I lost 1lb :)

    So down to 164lbs, which I'm happy about because I've lost the 7lbs that I gained in about 2-3 weeks during exam stress! Now, I'm back to my "normal" weight from where I can start shifting these stubborn lbs!

    Good luck to everyone with WI!

    Nice work so far everyone! Mandy - starting next week I'll weigh in on Friday's as it will work out better for my trip during July and when I can weigh in. This way I'll be on the same schedule as most of the group. Thanks!

    I have five of eleven first week weights reported as of today... am waiting on a few more to update our Week 1 weigh-ins.

    I am super stoked that I managed to stay under my calorie goal yesterday, since it was the first of day of a nine day long visit from my dad. And, man, my family LOVES to eat! But I got the exercise in yesterday and today. Did Week 4, Day 1 of C25K this morning - was hard but I got it followed by another 2.5 miles of walking. I am feeling good about my resolve this holiday weekend. Instead of our normal cake for tomorrow, we are making "watermelon star cakes." Just cut a star shape out of watermelon and top with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries with fat-free whipped topping for a refreshing July 4th treat!

    So inspired by the exercising I see logged even over the holiday. What a better way to spend some time off, right?
    Good luck everyone and happy Independence Day!

    It is super tough to stay on track when the family is visitng! My inlaws are visitng this week and they are very supportive of me and ask if I eat what they are eating, or am making my own! Tonight I grilled pork loin for the family and made chicken for me because I had leftover homemade pizza for lunch! Anyway, I am hoping to get another 10 mile road in tomorrow if possible, hopefully my butt and legs can handle it! Enjoy the holiday if you're off work everyone and stay safe!
