    Goals for Aug. 6:
    1. WATER!!!--Not good.
    2. Exercise for AT least 30 minutes.--Yes, 30+.
    3. EAT CLEAN and log EVERYTHING!--90% and yes!

    We are going to my brother's today for a barbecue. Food will be good as he tends to eat healthy foods and doesn't have much in the way of sweets and snacks. It CAN be stressful, though, as he can be obnoxious if he drinks too much! Let's hope he doesn't!

    Barb--I tried those Fiber One Brownies. I have to admit, I wasn't impressed. I think I'll hold out for the real thing!

    Wishing everyone a good day!

    Goals for Aug. 7:
    1. Water!
    2. Exercise for 30 minutes.
    3. Eat clean and track my foods!

    Kathy-Which one did you try? I tried both, and I didn't care for the peanut butter/chocolate one, but I love the chocolate fudge one.....but I'd much rather have the real thing too. But for a small snack and a quick handy one, not too bad.

    Goals for Aug. 7:
    1. Water!--UGH! Not good!
    2. Exercise for 30 minutes.--Yes.
    3. Eat clean and track my foods!--About 80% and yes.

    Monday morning. Working 4 days this week and will have Wednesday off. I think this will be my schedule for most of what is left of the season.

    Barb--I tried both of them and the chocolate fudge was better. Maybe I was hoping for too much because I thought they were dry and had a weird taste! My DD loved them, though! Have you tried the Skinny Cow candy bars? They have more calories but are GOOD! I can't have them in the house--they are SO good I just eat the whole box!

    Goals for Aug. 8:
    1. Water.
    2, Exercise for 20 minutes.--Done.
    3. Eat clean and track my foods.

    Good Morning, My name is Shanae and I am currently live in Delaware. I have been on the weight loss trail it feels like my entire life! However I am 33 years old and I am the smallest I have been in my adult life weighing in at 203.4 pounds this weekend. I am also working out more than I ever have. I reached a 5 mile walk this Saturday took two hours to get to that number but I am pushing myself. I AM REALLY IN NEED OF A SUPPORT GROUP! I am a single mom of 3 Boys yes honey boys.... and I work full time. So I am doing all that I can from packing my meals for the day to preparing a list of meals and planning them ahead of time for organization and so that I dont eat things I am not susposed too. I would love to join this group if someone can tell me how to connect to it. I just happened to pass it today read a couple of post and was drawn to some of the stroies I read. I want to get to 154 pounds which is 50 pound weight loss. I pray that I can do this. My children have been in Georgia where I moved from last year over the summer so working out and eating have not been so hard but they will be back in two weeks and this will be the test. So first I need prayer then I need ideas on workouts etc. Thanks for listening it so much eaiser to do this with support!

    Been MIA for a few days, just let the weekend get the best of me I guess. Kinda normal though cause it always seems to be so busy around here on the weekends. Except for the drinking on Sat night it wasn't too bad of a weekend though. I don't even know how much I drank on Sat night, just know that I passed out as soon as I laid down in bed....:blushing:

    Hey Ravyn, I'm glad to see you back.

    Shanae, your goals sound great! Awesome job on the walk. How old are your boys?

    Well I've already posted my Tuesday's goals, just wanted to pop in to say: I'VE FINALLY CLEANED OUT MY DRESSER DRAWERS!! WOOOOO HOOOO That was a big deal for me as it was a goal almost all last week and I finally tackled it completely today. Also went through my daughter's closet to do inventory on her school uniforms to see what she can and cannot fit anymore. Surprisingly, she doesn't need too much as I usually buy her clothes a little big anyway. A few faded shirts need to be replaced and school socks, will pick that up this week as she starts school on Monday. Yes I said it MONDAY! I love her to death but I can't wait until things get back to normal around here!
