    Hi everyone- Pip!!your sooo cute. I just knew you'd be one of the first to make the leap:laugh:

    Ok, so here's the deal. I started this Summer Challenge the last week of May and today was actually our fifth weigh in as a group. I've moved the thread over under Motivation and Support vs Introduce Yourself.
    For all of you signing on today, a huge welcome!!! and here's what you need to do to get up to speed. Go back to Introduce Yourself and find this thread, read the criteria, and get started today (Friday is the official weigh in date- workouts count from Friday through Thursday)

    It's really not that complicated. Go at your own pace for the challenge. At this point- 20lbs does seem like an aggressive goal but keep in mind we've been doing this for 5 weeks already.
    Some are way on track and others, ahem me, have slipped up a bit.

    We rant and rage, we talk each other off the cliff but mostly what you'll find is a good down to earth kick in the pants you need to stick it out.
    YOU READY!!!!

    Hi all,

    I am weighing in this morning at 179 lbs still! BUT I have finally seen some changes in my measurements. I only measure my chest, waist and hips and although I have dropped 1 1/2 dress sizes recently, it seemed my measurements stayed the same for the longest time. I figured maybe my tape measure was shrinking along with me :laugh: but when I measured Wednesday evening, I had lost 2 inches from my waist . I lost 2 inches from my chest/back recently as well. I'm not great at keeping this type of record so I didn't do my arms and legs but I can see a definite difference there too. Hopefully next week the scale will have changed again. Slowly but surely I'm getting there. Yay me!!

    Happy Friday all

    A huge shout out to Pip and Ocean91- huge losses this week.

    I am horrified and so disgusted to report a weigh in of 186 lbs this a.m.
    I actually worked out 4 days however I blew it on my food and bloody snacking. This was my week to break the 180's- right! Now I'm closer to the 90's :noway: :noway:
    Lord above- this is such a head game.

    Am really proud of you out there, keep it up. You inspire me to stay with this. It's not over till it's over right?
    Kytngirl and Nikkitoo-You both ROCK

    I definately need words to kick me in the A## and get back on track!!!
