    I'm an August Virgo...8/27

    I don't like putting dates on my goals b/c I get far too discouraged if I don't make it. But it sure would be nice to reach ONEderland by then. It's not looking likely at the slow rate I've been losing.

    Rabbit, thanks for asking about me. Not allowed to "exercise" yet. Chiropractor says I have to hold off. I am still watching what I eat and trying to ATLEAST get some walking in but for right now I'm not able to do much of anything. I am SO ready to get healed and get back to business. I'm used to working out daily for atleast 90 mins a day. :( I am missing my workouts so badly. Not giving up though. Don't give up on me my fellow Virgo's. Just a minor set back.

    Count me in. My bday is in sept as well (Virgo). I would like to lose 5 lbs this month and another 5lbs next month. I want to be out of 150's and 140's if possible. My goal is 1-2lbs a week. I also signed up for a 5K (on 9/25). So, all the prep will hopefully get me to my goal.
    Cheers to all Virgo ppl!. I know we are perfectionist and hard-working.
    Let us do it!

    As of this morning, I am one pound away from 200, so anything more than that in the next two weeks, and I may actually reach my goal of ONEderland!!! (I'm totally going to take a picture of that scale when it says 199.) Ordinarily, I would say easy peasy, but lately, my weight loss has slowed considerably, so I'm not as confident in how fast I can lose. It would be just like to me stay the same weight through 8/27. We'll see. fingers crossed!

    Hello Virgo Challengers! Weekend Thoughts...

    Happy Friday to all & I want to wish you a nice enjoyable weekend.

    Let's all take our fitness very seriously this weekend as we have a weigh-in

    coming up on Monday morning. I have been doing my weigh-in after ladies room

    and before eating / drinking, in the morning, wearing just my swimsuit. I think this

    attempt to get the most accurate weight is actually rather fun and ritualistic.

    I was weighing once a week but have gone now to bi-weekly. Since I have been zigzagging

    calories I hope to have broken thru that last plateau, altho this week has proved to be

    somewhat detrimental (in the eating dept) due to family gatherings at eateries LOL

    Well, it's all okay and feeling fine about it now that I have come to terms with my

    cravings, realizing it helps my body adjust to give it treats here and there!!!

    I have been indulging in 100 calorie ice cream bars all week!! I am not going to bring

    any more of those into the house...promise myself! I will keep making banana yogurt ice cubes

    .. oh and probably enjoy a frozen fruit bar now & then as well :)

    QUESTIONS:

    1) What do you do on weekends to burn extra calories if you indulge in too many treats?

    2) Can you share at least one idea with the rest of the group that you have about getting

    "into the zone", when you really don't feel like exercising at all?

    Thanks to everyone for participating in this~ our first full week of The Virgo Challenge!!!

    Go out there and get that brass ring of health 8-) and have a blast doin'it!!!
