    Just wanted to check in on you ladies and see how everyone is doing? Having any challenges? TOM is my main challenge right now, and it really has a grip on my emotions this month. Can't wait til next week when I will (hopefully) have a loss on the scale, and an improved outlook on everything.

    On a positive note, I had a NSV in that my new middle finger ring is a lot looser now! I have to keep turning the stone back to the top of my hand because it's slipping around, and in the past the first place I ever notice weight loss is in my fingers for some reason. Yay!

    I don't have a set workout plan. It's going to change once my oldest daughter starts kindergarten on the 22nd. I'll be working part-time and will lose the ability to workout at the gym during lunch as I'll only be taking 30 minute lunches.

    I'm trying to do a pilates workout at least 3 times a week. I'm considering getting the Wii Fit to have more workout options at home. I also have 3 Jillian Michaels DVDs and Bob's Weight Loss Yoga DVD. I like to run (well jog) but it is too hot here in Texas to do that outside at any time of day. I also like to bicycle but haven't been out on the road in a while. I'm cancelling my gym membership after this month. I might opt back in after we get used to my part-time pay. If a good deal comes along I might just jump on it. :smile:

    I guess I'll have some trial and error after next week figuring out a workout routine. I might try going to the gym at 5 am before my membership expires at the end of the month. That would certainly be rough but well worth it.

    I try to get in the gym at work 3-4 days a week and walk on the treadmill as well as do some weights and some core muscle groups. Also my husband and I have been getting up early in the morning and walking about 45 minutes our neighborhood has lots of hills so that helps a great deal.

    This is an area I need to get better in because I know if I added a workout everyday into my daily routine it would help wonders!!!!

    8/4 - 176.6
    8/11 - 175.0

    I'm happy with that! :) Sorry I'm not on here more; it's been an extremely busy week and the kids have been super cranky this week, too.
    Took a walk to the PO this morning and walked for about 25 mins total with the kids. I've been slacking a bit this week and my eating habits have been a bit questionable... Really hoping I can get myself back on track better by next week when things (should) calm down a bit. Congrats to everyone on the weight losses! Keep up the great work!

    Hey ladies, I'm with Audra, we should start a new thread to weigh in this week since we are already at 5 pages over here. Those of you who have already chimed in with your weight, would you mind coming over to the new thread I am about to create for this week? I will link you to it momentarily. (I hope you don't mind Ellen! I know you are on holiday!)
    ~Em

    ok, here it is!
