~Ashley... You go Girl!~! you killed it!.. you rock.. :bigsmile:
~Meag... scarey emotional eating stuff. Im glad you noticed it now before it got out of hand, I tend to find myself stuck habits that I didnt know I was starting. You are a step ahead of yourself though, you know what you want and you know what you are dong wrong. And we all know you are strong enough, and willing enough to make it happen! get your Muscle On!~!
~Mariam... you did awesome on your goals. Way to go!~! Now start July off as well as you did June and you will have NO problems!
WELCOME Everyone!~!~!~!
AFM... I was going to post my goals but I guess I ended up chatting it up instead. Oh well, ll keep this going. Lol. Sooooo.... as I said before I won my contest!~!~!~! :bigsmile: The rules were to see who could loose the most Percentage of their weight. (kinda like biggest looser) I lost 7.4 pounds. I dont want to get into the math, but lets just say that it was CLOSE!~!~! I only won by tenths of a percentage!~! It was crazy!~! I am very proud of us though.
The contest was to push us to loose as much as we could. One girl is in the begining of her weight loss, I am going on my cruise in july and the other one of us is going back to the states to visist family in july...so we all needed the extra push!~! And it worked!~!~!
I think this month I am going to shoot for the NO scale bit. I am going to WI tomorrow morning for an real start weight. (I didnt get to weigh on my scale today so I want to be consistant with what I am putting in to MFP) After tomorrow, I am hiding the scale from myself. I will be on my cruise and after that week my hubby has off for another week, so I dont want to be obsessing. So I am not going to set a goal weight for this month. With a busy holiday type month it is going to be hard to keep my workouts a priority so I am holding myself acountable for 5 workouts a week. I have my water intake down now so I am not going to add that to my goals this month either. I think I have done pretty well thus far, so I am not going to put many restrictions on myself this month. Maybe next month when i get more specific with my goals I will actually follow them. Lol> for now, a relaxing month of no scale.
Hmm.... I hope this doesnt end badly.0 -

Welcome new-comers!
Just wanted to pipe in with some advice from an intermediate runner... Been running for some time now and have trained for a 5K, 10K and 10mile race and am now training for my first 1/2 Marathon (for the second time, due to injury)...
For those of you wanting to get into running, start out running 3 times a week. Any less often than this and you will not be spending enough time on your feet to really develop your "running legs". You also won't be running often enough to see real, significant progress and you can easily find yourself feeling unmotivated. Conversely, do not run any more than 4 times a week if you are still just starting. In fact, I only started running 5 times a week when I began 1/2 Marathon training. Running TOO often can be tough work on your muscle groups that are taxed while running and can result in muscle fatigue or worse, injury.
I noticed that a few of you set goals of running once a week. That's a great goal if you are just doing it for fun, but if you are hoping to make running a hobby, you should try to hit the pavement at least a few times a week. Even if you are just heading out for 15-20 mins, and walking for half of it, the time on your feet is what counts! Just toss on your running gear and hit the streets.
Good luck everyone :bigsmile:0 -

This sounds like a great plan in keeping motivated As that's a place I need some help in, I'd love to join! I'm resisting the urge to go big for this first month, but at the same time want to push myself... so, I'm focusing on making my goals things that I know I need work on. For example, I have WAY TOO MUCH sugar on a daily basis, and I NEVER drink enough water! So while I would like to lose a few pounds (5 would be nice!) those are going to be the more major goals for this month. I've also just started the 30 day shred, and want to finish that this month. I did her Yoga Meltdown workout today as well, and while it's a good workout I definitely felt the burn much more with the 30ds. But I'm not a fan of the 20 min workout, so maybe I'll do both.. hmm, will think that one over.....

Hey everyone! Quick post... We're about to sit down for dinner but I am packing up and heading out for a 4 day camping trip tonight/tomorrow so I wanted to just say a quick goodbye and good luck!
You all have posted fabulous goals so far and I am really eager to see how well everyone fares this month. July is going to be awesome and all of you are going to do your part to make it happen :bigsmile: I can just feel it!
I have been really, really struggling with food and over-eating these days. Really just eating and eating because of extreme exhaustion and an inability to recognize the difference between hunger, exhaustion, irritation and other emotions. I just eat without thinking. Last night driving to and from work I actually ate just to keep myself awake. It's a struggle mainly because of how sh*tty it makes me feel about my lack of dedication lately... I don't know how I've fallen so far off track and where all of my gung-ho steadfast commitment to this lifestyle business has gone, but it's definitely not where it used to be (ie: here!)
Camping should be an interesting mix of challenges and victories. I know we are going to exercise a LOT but I am very concerned that I will end up in a position where I'm starving and all we have to eat is fruits/vegetables and a whole tons of junk and carbs. I am trying to pack lots of protein options but it's hard, and I'm starting to get bored with all my options and eating the same things every day. The hardest part is going to be not logging and self-sabotage. I tend to eat whatever I want when I don't log - it's hard to stay accountable. I could log by hand or whatever but it's just not the same... I also won't have any access to the database or my support system online. Talk about roughing it!
The tenting will be the easy part!
Alright gotta run - Good luck my lovelies! I know you're going to KICK *kitten*!! :drinker:0 -
tobemotivated-welcome to the group!! and great goals for July!! I myself have just started the shred (on day 4) and I also opened a thread for whomever would like to join me on it!! Feel free to join on that one too if you'd like....we are all there to talk about the shred, stay motivated for the 30 days, and share our before and afters when we are finished...would love to have ya if you're interested
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/271354-jm-30-day-shred
Meag-have a great camping trip...and try not to stress too much about your eating! I always find: the more I stress about it, the worst I do!
AFM-so far so good, on the July goals!! I finished L1D4 of the shred today, and although I was slightly hungover when I did it this morning, I still feel like it is getting easier, and I tried out my new 5lb weights during most of the moves too!0 -
Thanks, tjradd. I know it's a new month...I was just hoping my birthday gift would be feeling comfortable with my birthday suit...if you know what I mean. Alas, I will try to not bash myself and just keep working towards my goal. :-)0

Happy Saturday Lovelies!! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far!!
Meag – once again, thanks for getting this challenge started again for the month of July!! I think this camping trip is just what you need to get away for a little while, spend quality time with Ty among the elements, and the opportunity to re-focus. When you come back, you will be a new, refreshed person and I am pretty sure that you will have your food/eating under control.
Allie – sounds like you are doing great girly!!! And I think that despite your bad days, you should still take the time to post on here if you have time. Clearing your head may just be what you need. And congrats on breaking your plateau!! I am sure you are glad to be past that. And 2 big days in a row. I hope you have a great time!!
Jill – hope that you are all adjusted to your crazy life changes by now. Great to have you back!!
Megan – sounds like you still did a great job with June!! I think the only thing lacking is that confidence. You have been killing it girly and there is no reason that you should not be confident in the things you set out to accomplish!!
Kandace – great job with your June goals!! And so glad to hear that you won the challenge among your friends. I hope you have fun spending that gift card and getting some cute clothes for the cruise.
Mandy – although you may have not gotten close to touching your June goals, the good news is that its July and you are here and at it again!! And I like how you still incorporated the 10k walking program into your routine since you haven’t been cleared for running just yet. And I think the physical therapy could be really good for you. You could come back stronger than ever and kill it!!
Aly – hope you enjoy the last 4 weeks of training!!

Tara – I know that temptations will always be there but I need to be stronger than the temptation cause I know I have done it before. And sounds like you still did great with your June goals!! July here you come!!! Your vacay with the bf will not be too long after that.
Welcome all newbies!! This is a great place to come for encouragement, motivation, and sometimes just a place to vent. Hope you stick around so we can see how you great you did in July!!
AFM…haven’t quite made a good impression on July just yet. And the rest of the weekend isn’t looking too good either with a bbq at my mom’s house tomorrow and then 2 parties on Monday. I am hoping to behave myself and work toward what I really want. I have begun my shopping list so that I can get started cooking meals for the kids and I this week.
Well lovelies, hope you all have a great weekend!!0 -

Hey guys. I need a place to vent for a minute, I hope you dont mind!~!
I am not having a good day. My husband and brother are on a "man bonding" trip for the weekend and as yesterday was GREAT having the house alone... now I am lonely. Plus, I tried to call my older brother this morning and he is not doing very well and it made me very very sad. I havnet worked out for two days.. so I was headed to the gym when somehow I talked myself out of it. It is 60 degrees and pouring rain, so 3min into the walk to the gym I turned around! I did however manage to get in Shred. I did level two cuz I am just bored of 3 and stopped doing it all together. I figured instead of doing that I would rather just jump around, something is better than nothing right???
Well, now here I am again, feeling sorry for myself and crap!~!~! I called my sponsor and she and another woman from AA are going to meet me for dinner tongiht. I want to be happy but I am just scared. I am so overwhelmed right now that I feel like I am going to just cry when they pick me up.
............ ok guys, thanks for listening to my complaints. The sky is still blue BTW. I hope you all are having a good weekend.0 -

kan, hope u feel better by talking it through with your sponsor. dont have any words of wisdom but sending you loads of hugs! xxx
as for level 3, i agree i found it to be less challenging than 2. when the time comes for me to move on to level 3, i'll be doing one and 3 back to back. i find level 2 the best for working out. level one i found easy as well hence why i doubled with level 2. hang in there 0
