    I've lost 30lbs since the beginning of May. I was mad a myself that it was summer and I still was too out of shape for hiking, biking, etc. So I committed myself to eating smaller portions, no more snacking, and no cheating! Summer was my motivation .

    I stayed in shape, exercized 6-7 days a week, I toned up, and look way more muscular, I have more endurance but I am up around 10-12 lbs due to all the camping, bbq's, parties etc.

    I feel great though and my clothes all still fit, so I say It was a decent summer.

    I definitely got into better shape and I'm more toned, but still have a few stubborn pounds to lose!

    I've gained about 5 pounds back. Been careless with my eating habits and not working out as hard as I could.

    You'd think people would gain more weight in winter when it's cold and we're hibernating and less active...but not in my case, I guess!

    What a great post topic, gets us real about what we've been doing. I gained 4 pounds so far this summer, can't figure out yet how to reset my ticker...

    But my body looks better than ever since I've been lifting heavy. But I've also been camping and eating lots of brats with buns and Summer Shandy.

    Admitting what you've done is the first step to getting it back together!

    Thank god I was able to maintain my 84lbs loss. Today was my first loss in over a month, ugh! Last real loss was June 22.
    I am just thankful I didn't gain!! I am so close to my goal, it's time to get it done - but it's a struggle with how lax I have been.

    One of the reasons I started down this road was because of summer. We went to Europe for 4weeks and I knew I had to get my *kitten* of the couch because we were going to be doing a lot of walking and hiking around in Germany and Holland. Plus I wanted to be in the photos not hiding from them. But to answer your question I lost 9 pounds in Europe and that is with eating all the delicious food that was on offer. Yes I might have lost more if I had not allowed myself the pleasure of trying different things but that is not what my idea of a lifestyle change is. My idea is to let yourself trying new and wonderful things but you don't have to be a pig about it. :drinker:

    I manged to lose just over a pound a week and keep it off. I am also much stronger from lifting and can run faster, longer and on hills! I actually had to buy some new clothes just to have summer clothes and that felt really good too!

    Lost about 20lbs.

    I've never heard that summer is when people gain the most weight though; winter would make much more sense between the holidays and the cold weather keeping people in doors.
