    Had a 2 week blip in my schedule since Mom broke her hip, but she's home now, and I can get back on schedule. I weighed in at 189.6lbs this morning. I'm going to work extra hard to lose at least a couple of pounds before the end of the month, but I don't think I'm going to hit goal this month.

    I am down 4.8 pounds, but everyone at work wants to go to lunch! To top it off I managed to hurt my knee yesterday, so I had to fast forward through the leg portion of my workout, so I have to really keep within my calories. So im sitting here with my knee iced up.

    So I was a good girl last night. I had a swim club meeting at the pool and son's baseball game right after so I borrowed my daughter's bike and rode. It was only 8 miles, but it involved hills and stops. 8.3 miles round trip. It felt great but tonight my knee is really bothering me and biking outside is the only new thing I have done.

    My 2 older kids got their braces today so it was a challenge to make a "soft" dinner they would eat....and they wouldn't. Any ideas on "soft" low cal dinners, I would be happy to hear them.

    Good night!

    SW (7/1): 147.7
    7/8: 146.7
    7/15: 144.8
    7/22: 144.0
    7/29: 144.0

    Alright, no loss this week which makes me sad. Apparently I need to change something up. I guess July isn't officially over until Sunday, so if I lose anything by that time I'll post it. Otherwise, a total loss of 3.7 lbs this month! Better than nothing, so I press onwards. Good luck everyone! I'll be looking for the August challenge to keep me going...

    7/01- Start Weight: 167
    7/08 - 168.8
    7/15 - 166.8
    7/21 -169.8 :(
    7/28 - 168.0
    7/31 -


    Well, I am no where near my goal or even my start weight. While I am disappointed, I have been consistent with INSANITY and I have been trying to break my bad eating habits so I cannot be upset about it. I need to just stay consistent and continue on until i break through this plateau. Good luck everyone!

    JustBreatheSB & taniux & BrunetteWife:

    You all have been losing consistent each week and I wish I was doing the same! Slow and steady! Any tips???

    Honestly I'm not doing anything special, I just do my best. I try to hit the gym at least 3 times a week. I eat OK, but I still have my treats and crap food days. This week I had a big loss but I think it's because I'm on antibiotics and it pretty much cleaned me out. On that note, good luck and keep up the great work :-)

    I've lost 7.2 lbs, so I have officially met my 5 lb goal for the month :-) This month I...

    Fit into a pair of pants I've never been able to wear.
    Tried on my wedding dress and it was too big!!
    Am at a weight that my husband has never seen me at.
    Wore a strapless dress and actually felt sexy and not so self conscious about my fat arms, because they're shrinking :-)

    :-) I hope everyone is doing well, I know I don't check in too much (just once a week) but I know you're all doing great and pushing hard to meet your goals!! Keep it up, you're all beautiful!!

    07/31/2011:

    I've lost 11.3 lbs so far! Even though I'm terribly sick, this is definitely the best thing to come out of being so ill! Hopefully when I start feeling better I won't gain all of the weight back!

    I've finished my five pound goal for both July and August! Now I'm 1.3lbs ahead for September! Let's hope I keep losing weight!

    July 1st: 163
    July 8th: 162
    July 15th:160
    July 21st: 158
    July 29th: 155


    OMG I bet I could fly if I tried to today! So happy, I have been working really really hard and I am stoked that I am losing this fast. I have been walking/jogging 7 miles a day and it is so paying off.

    I gotta run but I will read the other posts later and touch base with everyone.
    :flowerforyou: Love you all, hope your scale was as nice as mine was today.
