My Summer Challenge week 6 results:
Challenge SW 5/29: 158
Week 1 - 6/5: 157
Week 2 - 6/12: 155.5
Week 3 - 6/19: 153.5
Week 4 - 6/26: 152.5
Week 5 - 7/3: 151.5
Week 6 - 7/10: 150.5 (down 1 pound!)
Challenge GW:143 (total 7.5 lbs. lost toward goal since start of challenge, 7.5 lbs. to go -- halfway there!)
week 6 additional challenges:
1) I drank at least eight 8 oz. glasses of water per day, most days it was 9-12 glasses. Challenge successfully met!
2) This week I worked on muscles I never even knew I had! We had access to our neighbor's pool all week in this extreme heat, and I spent a half hour to an hour each day treading water. By the time I was done, my arms and shoulders were so achy, but it was the muscle fatigue kind of pain that went away in a few hours. Challenge successfully met!
3) Checking in -- how is this challenge going for me so far? I think it's going very well! I'm halfway to my challenge goal, which is much better than I expected given the July 4th holiday, summer events that include "bad" foods, and so on. I managed to eat under my calorie goal during our July 4th family picnic, had house guests for 4 days yet managed to keep up with my exercise and food goals while still providing the usual foods for our guests, and helped my sister stay on track with her weight loss journey. I'm enjoying the additional weekly challenges, which help keep me on track.0 -

Love the challenges this week!! im leaving for vacation tomorrow but its one of those vacations where all you do is walk so i figure if i try and stay in a healthy frame of mind and watch what i eat i wont be in too much trouble when i get back! i most definitely would do another challenge after the summer is over....this has been amazing!!! the hardest part for me when i diet is the mental part...and with this challenge going on i know i have to be accountable..i set out to do something and told people and have people who are working just as hard if not harder than me to do the same thing! its be awesome and would love to do another one!! we have 7 more weeks until august 28th and im looking forward to hitting my goal...i have 19lbs to go which would be a little more than 2.5lbs a week.....i can sooooo do this!!!! once i get back im hitting the gym hard!!!

I have been up and down but working really hard. I'm really hoping to blast through this plateau this week and hit 143 - I'm putting it out there so maybe it will happen and make me more motivated.0 -

I have been gone for a few days. Surprising my weight stayed the same at 153. Taking the rest of july off, will start counting and working out starting Aug. Need to get my head in the game. Going camping next week for a week, so when we get back from that hopefully I will be ready. Hope everyone is doing well.0

200 Yay didn't think I lost any but for me 1 pound is good.
6/26/2012....CW........199 Happy dance. Under 200. Hope it stays there.
7/03/2012....CW........199 No happy dance this week. Hope to catch up next week. Darn it's slow.
7/11/2012.....CW.......Same as last week. Stressful week. Stress is a real killer. I have to stop WORRYING about losing. It is counter productive. :grumble: I didn't see a new challenge for this week, however just keeping on is a real challenge for me right now.

187 by the End of August.
Congratulations to all of you. You are doing great. Keep it up.:flowerforyou:0 -
CW: 271.2
Update: At this point I really need to get my butt in gear and start working out again!!! I keep telling myself that I am going to wake up early and do it but then I sleep in. So, I tell myself I will after work but we all know that never happens Lol. Once i get going i'll be good it's just the getting to that point that I am having an issue with
So instead of adding 15 extra minutes to my workouts, i'm going to make it a goal to just get my butt to workout at least 30 minutes 5 days out of this week.
As for what I think about the summer challenge: I freaking love it!!! Other then the not working out, I'm doing pretty good (not counting last week Lol). I have added more fruits and veggies to my diet. Also, have been trying a lot of new foods that I would normally stick my nose up to (and I've even liked most of them). I would totally do another challange after the summer is over. I live for challenges and I feel like it actually makes this jouney of getting healthy more fun to do :happy:0 -

Keep it up everyone! Get your weights in by tomorrow to be included on this sheet!0

Checking in today at 142, no loss and no gain...which is great considering the holiday and the number of cookouts and beer I have consumed this week! I really enjoy this challenge as it keeps me accountable and I know I can stay committed to the challenges and updates, some challenges out there are a bit too much and I can't keep up with them on a day to day basis. Many thanks again for getting this group started!0

I did pretty good last week considering I celebrated my birthday and went on a mini vacation. I didn't drop a lot of weight but I maintained which is just as important. Excited about the new challenge. Keep up the great work all.0 -
I definitely want to do a fall challenge when we complete this one. I lose very slowly. I've been changing my bad habits every week. I've been increasing my exercise and have been making more and more home cooked meals. I'm gradually incorporating more healthier home cooked meals to so my family has time to adjust as well.
Thanks again for doing the spreadsheet. I had already forgotten where I started and while it's a little sad to see such a small loss overall I know this is not a race and in the end I will get where I want to be. A healthier me. I'm obsessed with my scale but I want to get my medical numbers down more importantly then my weight numbers. That's why I don't fret when I don't lose because I know I'm eating way better and bringing down those sugar and cholesterol numbers. :bigsmile:0 -

I"M BACK!!! I was on vacation and missed two weigh in's so please don't delete me from the sheet. I need the sheet! LOL
I've probably gained 800 lbs over vacation so it's going to be ugly next week, but two steps forward and one step back is what it is at this point. As long as it's not two steps back and one forward - right??
I'll check in later.
