    The web site is........ http://sites.google.com/site/julystarters/
    I just bookmarked it so it is easy to get to.
    Here is something that motivates me.....I have a pair of jeans that I can wear at 160lbs and I try them on everyday.. Of course they dont fit:angry: but it reminds me that I still have a ways to go. One day they will fit but be tight:grumble: and one day they will fit perfect.:smile:
    When Im thinking I need something sweet to eat I go and try on those jeans and usually change my mind. It works great with a swim suit. MIND GAMES

    Good morning all! I haven't been on in a couple of days. I've been having a lot of marriage troubles lately, and since Thursday things have gotten even worse.:cry: I'm hanging in there. I have managed to stay within my calorie range, even with the stress. If anything I haven't eaten enough. I didn't get my workout in on Friday. But I decided yesterday that I wasn't going to let him keep me down this time. I took a two hour walk with my kids(they rode their bikes while I walked pushing DJ in his stroller). It was actually a great workout. My legs are sore this morning.
    Patti, the website looks great. I love the poem that you have on there it's a great motivator.
    Angl, I luv your cupcake pic!! :laugh:
    I hope everyone else is doing ok.

    Hey ladies-

    Last night was a crazy one. It was a good friends bachlorette party. I tried to be good, but once you have enough jello shots in you cookies made into a penis shape are yummy =) I hope that we danced enough so I still have a decent loss!

    Kind of hungover today....drinking coffee and relaxing. I do plan on walking when the kids get back from their shopping trip with Grandma and Grandpa. I like to encourage them to be active with me.

    Have a blessed day!

    Good Monday Morning to Everyone. Hope everyone had a great first week. (I weigh on Fridays). I am excited to see how much we lost as a group. The weekend was a little hard...my anniversary is on Tuesday so I made my special kahlua cake for Sat. night dessert. I added raspberries on top so I wouldnt' feel so guilty.:laugh: I am going to try the exercise challenges. Keep up the great job! You ladies are awesome!

    Hi
    Yesterday was hard.
    I set a nice breakfast table for the kids with breadrolls and a french loaf. I had a few slices of the loaf I didn't know that that was loaded with call.
    For dinner the kids wanted domino's pizza. Ok
    I made a nice big bowl of salad and only took 1/8 of the pizza. All within my daily call.
    No what happend this morning!!! I went on the scale and lost ......... 0 absolutely 0
    I did workouts 5 times a week with pff a lot of sweat. Ate within the callorie zone, eat the exersise call and still 0
    Oh my G...
    No I wasn't happy
    ok
    I have so many new friends now and with setting up the weigh in website I am not going to stop!
    Eventhough that's the easy way out.
    I hope you guys have a better result

    HI.
    patty09 this happens drink more water and even though you are staying in cal range look at what you are eating maybe to many starchy foods or sugars.and sometimes just a little more cardio.might do the trick.

    I stayed the same which is fine cuz i lost inches,measure yourself you might've lost inches.
    hope everyone has a great day!

    exercise challenges are on the other web site for the whole week.

    My scale stayed the same :sad:
    I know I probably lost inches so I'm not too worried. I know I was on track with my calories.
    We shall see how next week goes.

    I really need to get a heart rate monitor. Hopefully I will purchase one on Friday.

    I think I need to go read the motivational ditty on the website now.

    Stay strong everyone!!

    Hi Everyone!!

    I lost 3.5 this week. I know that most of it is probably water weight, but quite motivating just the same. Maybe there is something to this whole eat right and exercise concept. I am doing my Zumba class tonight and I finally bought a heart rate monitor so that I can rally measure how many calories I burn at class.

    For those of you whose scale stayed the same, you stuck with it all week and that should be celebrated, because we are all making ourselves healthier.

    Hello Everyone,

    Are you ready for another week? I am...as I have lost 2.6 pounds for my first weigh-in. Although, I was hoping for more, I am grateful. I weighed myself 4 times this morning before I settled on a number. I wonder if my scale needs a new batttery. The first number was too low to me. Anyhow...I shall see next week.

    I am off to a good start this morning. I am having dinner with friends tonight, which will be a challenge. I will get my exercise in and eat lighter meals/snacks throughout the day.

    Good luck.

    LaDonna (LDR624)

    This first week was tough. For those that did not lose...You did not Gain!!!:drinker: It is becoming harder to drink the water. Does anyone use Crystal Light? I usually don't like to add anything to tmy water. I have to be careful b/c I lost 3 lbs. and I start to "celebrate" thinking I could eat more. The weekend is over so let's get movin'.:glasses:

    Hi ya all....
    Im down 3.25 ...:happy: ...Wohoooo lets not celebrate too much Eava57...Idr624..angelae39.maybe just one small bit of dark chocolate. Wish I had some.
    I am addicted with weighing myself on the scale every morning. When is says I lost I feel like celebrating and when it says I gained I feel like giving up. Staying off the scale would be the best solution but Im addicted!!!:angry:
    Those of you who did not lose read the message on the weight and fitness page ....it may motivate you and please DON'T QUIT move on to the next week.
    Evaa57...I like to make ice tea....It really makes the water disappear faster. I think crystal light has a lot of chemicals in it.
    Lets have a great Week 2

    I weigh in everyday and record whenever I have a loss no matter how big or small. I think that this will help when I plateau and I go back and see what I was eating on a loss and see where I have let myself get lazy. I think having all the history will make that easier. Just my 2 cents
