    I'm not weighing myself until at least Friday, this week is bad timing for me to start with an accurate weight if you ladies know what I mean.

    I'm still super determined to lose those 10lbs! Got up early for Mandy's Version of C25K and some uppder body. Ate well all day, lots of water and plan for tonight is to do lots of crunches and stretching out! Can't wait to get going!!!!

    Still sniffly but still went out for a nice walk with the dogs in the afternoon - we're having some beautiful sunny days in Winter!! Hoping to be better tomorrow as I'm planning to do a boxing class in the evening. Absolutely LOVE boxing!! I'm enjoying reading all your posts. Hope you've had a great day 3!!

    Day 3!

    I can handle the dieting ... but, I am not looking forward to the gym today. I am going to try to do my strength training there. However I am looking into some DVDs for at home use (THANKS FOR THE ADVICE). I guess I am a little shy. I don't want people to watch me try to lift, I am such a weakling.

    Good luck to everyone! I hope it hasn't been rough getting into a routine!!

    :)

    Surprise weigh in today! I know I should be a little bloated but I was down 3.5 lbs for a total of 231.5 :) Motivation to keep up the hard work! Does that count as 3lbs lost for me so far??

    loved exercise this week, need to get some sort of routine in place though as i am busy trying everything, have swam three times this week, now managing a mile in 40 minutes,which isn't great but it is for me :-) have cycled, and completed the 30 day shred, oh an not to forget my walks with my puppy dog blue, which i always enjoy. My entire body aches :-) which i am liking as it means i am pushing myself. had a sneaky weigh in today and was a little disapointed with 1lb loss so must now also concentrate on my portion sizes!!!

    But am on the whole happy with week 1 of the aug challenge.

    Well done ladies looks like everyone is working hard and doing great things, keep up the hard work and look forward to Monday and seeing all our results up here together xxx

    Day 7! No real exercise for me apart from some light walking while out and about. Food... not the best. Not confident with my weigh-in tomorrow being sick earlier this week. Will be happy to be the same! :) Have a great Sunday everyone!

    First Weekly Weigh-In

    I didn't lose very much at all. :grumble: But, even .4 off is less than I was last week. It'll just be motivation to work 2xs as hard this week. I hope everyone did well...and better than me :wink:

    Start date 8/1/2011 - 145.4
    First weight in 8/8/11 - 145

    I'll be so happy to clear the 140's and welcome back the 130's

    its day 8!

    how is everyone doing??

    sorry i've been so quiet! i was pretty busy last week.
    you're such a great group! and its so motivatiing to be part of it :D

    i had a week full of ups and downs.. :(
    and i didnt dare to step on the scale... but tomorrow i'm gonna do it. for sure. i dont care if i gained weight. because i know i can lose it all!
    nevertheless im really nervous. i think i'll fast for the rest of the day. (already had a really big breakfast and something for lunch)
    i'm really really scared of that number :S
    wish me luck!
