    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.

    Inksy, If you could change my goal weight to 195, I'd really appreciate it. I think that is 32.4 pounds total.. That will give me something to work toward! Thanks for all you do!

    CW: 145.6
    GW: 134.6

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Congratulations to all of you. You are doing great. Keep it up.:flowerforyou:

    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 :cry: 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:
