    July 14th is my bday so I would definately wanna join this group!

    When I started MFP I had no problem sticking to my meals and workouts but recently I have gotten into a bad habit of eating out too often and being too lazy to cook and workout. Gotta get my butt back in close to decent shape. I will be happy just being able to wear shorts and a tank. :heart:

    CW: 180
    Goal Weight 170lbs

    where are my Beach Beauties at today?

    last night I tried to have a good workout at the gym but just didnt have enough energy to put into it. Tonight I think I will start back up on Turbo Jam which is really the only thing that motivates me to workout and I actually enjoy. I didnt do a good job at planning my lunch today so I'm not sure yet what I'm going to eat but I'll try my best!

    Happy Tuesday everyone!

    Getting a new treadmill delivered today, yeah!! I am so excited. My husband and I both have used the heck out of our treadmill for 6 years so I believe it's time for a new one. In celebration I bought a new running outfit yesterday at my favorite store, Costco, lol! Hoping this is the motivator I need to achieve that 10-pound loss by July 15. Hope everyone is having a successful week so far.

    Hello Everyone! :)
    I hope everyone survived the long weekend. I'm so excited to see more new members! I can't "re-edit" my post a second time to add names to the list... but everyone is welcome to post on here for updates/support! This weekend I did fairly well. I'm thinking about having a veggie challenge this week. My plan will be to be a vegetarian for the week and incrase my fruit and veggie intake. I'm starting today.. wish me luck and join in if you wish!

    Hi everyone,

    When I started MFP I was under on calories and working out everyday, but recently have started to eat out a lot. Not only is this not beneficial for health reasons, but also financially. haha. So, I have decided that I am going to go back to being under my calories and continue cooking dinner for the week.

    So, I started this morning off with a 20 min run outside. It was great. I may go play basketball later on today after work. So this will be good for me.

    So my goals for the week are to:
    1. Stay under my calories
    2. Work out everyday
    3. Drink 10 cups of water
    4. Enjoy the warm weather

    I was wondering are we weighing in once a week and tracking our progress until July 15th?

    Veggies are always good, but don't forget about protein. Protein is like pac-man to fat! Lean chicken and fish, greek yogurt, and canned tuna are all great sources of protein, or even beans if you're keeping it vegetarian.

    Hello Beach Beauties!
    I hope that everyone is doing well.... So far I am down a pound from my last weigh in (friday). Are we going to have weigh in's weekly or are we only going to log our losses on July 15?

    Does anyone have any good ideas about how to drink more water? I am HORRIBLE at it and need some help or motivation. I think that it would help me loose some of this weight if I drank more of it!

    i have problems with water to so I try to disperse it thru the day. if u work in an office I have a water bottle in front of me that holds 2 cups so I try to drink 1 in the morning, 1 at lunch and 1 in the afternoon = 6cups
    and then I know I will drink some after my workout and with dinner so I usually get to 8 when I follow this plan.
    if you stay at home have a cup or bottle in the kitchen for whenever u go to snack drink water instead, drink a cup between chores, drink one before a meal , during and after. JUST DRINK UP!

    another thing that helps with water intake- add crystal light (every so often) of even a lemon or something, for flavor :) Honestly though, you'll get used to the water... and you can feel the difference. I was the same and now I love ice cold water! Give it a shot :)

    Also, heres a cool link I found guys!

    enjoy :)

    Good Morning Beauties,

    Hope everyone is reaching their daily goals. I was short on time so I ran on the treamill this morning - running outside is so much better. But I got in 30 mins. Yeah!

    Goals for today:

    Another 30 mins of exercise
    Lots of water - thanks for the tips yesterday
    Stay positive!

    Hey,

    So I have seen some groups that have put like their starting weights and how much is lost each week. I think that would be a great thing to do. I don't mind taking that information and compiling it. I think it would be a great way to support each other. Maybe I can put it up every Monday to start the week off right. Let me know if everyone is interested and I could work with that. Good luck today! Have a good one!

    Hey bballgrrl34,

    That's a great idea. I usually weigh in on Fridays.(before the weekend haha). Last Friday my starting weight was 135.2 . I can still use Fridays as my weigh in and give you that number on Monday mornings. Thank you for taking on that task !! Have a great healthy day!!!!
