Good morning men,

This is sooooo bad . Only 4 checked in and 3 of those gained this last week. First a big congrats to Trelm. You are doing awesome. You have been very consistent lately and doing great.

I have totally wiped out months of progress and had my biggest gain this week of 3.1 pounds. I have family beginning to arrive starting today with the wedding on Saturday. I am expecting another gain next week but hope to get back on some sort of program after that.

I also start vacation this afternoon. I don't think I'll be posting a chart next week but please send in your updates. I feel it is important and benificial to the rest of the group that we show our commitment.

Thanks guys and here you go.

Good morning, Summer is coming to a close and all the wedding preparations and events have also ended.

It is now time to get back to a healthier lifestyle. I have gained back nearly half of my total loss.

Starting today I am going to try and get back in the habit of logging and watching what I eat much closer.

In 4 weeks, my wife, myself and our 2 best friends are going to Hawaii. I would like to lose between 10 - 15 pounds by then. It will take some work but I think it is doable.

I still need to figure out my treadmill workouts. What was formally my exercise room was transformed into another guest room for visiting family members. I have no idea what I will be doing with the extra bed and everything now. My treadmill is currently in my son's room and he doesn't particularly care for me to hang out in his room for an hour or so every night. I am hoping to some time in the near future to also get back on the racquetball courts.

Wish me luck.

I will wait till tomorrow to post this weeks chart and hopefully a few others will send in their updates.

Good afternoon Men,
Well I am happy to say that as a group, we had a much better week. We are still a little lighter in the participation and updates area than I would like but those that did post had a better week.

I thought I might be the biggest loser this week but whorehy got in there with a fantastic 3.6 pound loss. That is awesome. I challenge the rest of you to try and knock us down in next week's chart.

Here is this week's chart.

Hi friends,

Thanks for the updates. Still hoping a few more get theirs in. I'm kind of busy here at work today so will get the chart posted tomorrow.

Shabar, nice job. Your are heading in the right direction.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Good morning men,

It looks like we are starting to turn the Summer gains around a little. BBQ's, parties, weekend outings are making way for better eating and regular exercise programs.

I had a .6 pound loss this week. Not as much as I hoped for but I'll take it. Birthday party this weekend and too many cupcakes. I'm sure by Wednesday that I'll drop another pound. Just hope I don't pick it back up next weekend

bmirob- Fantastic job and you have that 50 pound loss mark in your sights. I'm expecting you to hit it on next weeks update.

shabbar- Is the top winner this week. You are in the groove now and there is no stopping you. Congratulations.

Again, if any of you have a friend you think could benefit from this group, please send them an invite and ask them to join. I think some fresh blood in the mix could be a good thing.

Here is this week's chart.
