Good Job Beauties,

I would love to see a few more of you check-in, so we can get the weigh-in posted. We still need to stay on track - July 15th is one month away. W e still have a lot of time to make healthy choices and changes!!! We just past week three, so maybe our weigh-in was not what we wanted - but that is the key - we need to keep trying and move past it. I am not giving up this time....I tend to get disappointed and then kinda stop. Let's not do that!!!!! I want to be fit and healthy even though I think I am the oldest woman on this post. This post is really helping me!!!!

So EVERYONE check-in and let us know where you are and what your goals for today are:

Mine are:

1.) Find a healthy alternative to chips for the fresh salsa we made at work with our tomatoe & herb garden that we have at work!!!! (It also has to be south beach phase 1 - wish me luck)
2.) Watch salt - I am still using too much!
3.) Try to make it to my spin class tonight!!!

Personal goal:

Smile - I have great friends on my Beach Beauty Post!!!!

Have a great day girls!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Beauties!!!!!

I am glad to see more Beauties checking in - nice going girls. So, have you all been wondering what I used instead of chips for the homemade salsa - (I know it has kept you up last night) I used celery - made nice little scoops for the salsa. Not the best but it did the job!!! I also was able to make my spin/ab class so that was pretty good for me yesterday. This morning, I have complete day 16 of power 90. Really feeling the results - I keep pushing myself.

Let see my goals for today:

1.) Try to put more fiber in my diet (??? on S.B. with no fruit or cereal for phase 1)
2.) Try to get in a walk tonight.
3.) Motivate someone on Beach beauties ?????

Hope everyone has a great healthy day!!!!

Morning Beauties!!!

Kinda had a stressful week - work (calculator went out (I am an accountant- so that is a bigggie)- computer crashed - problems with assistant) personally - my 19 year old son got his truck & trailer stolen (he was in the lake in his boat). For a teenager that is his life - he pratically lived out of it!! So, I am trying to keep on track - but I want eat more, so I am adding some healthy snack to keep me from going overboard!!! I know this too will pass - but I still got to get past it. So, here's hoping for a better day. I got up and did day 17 of power 90!!! and I really wanted peanut butter - so being on south beach not a lot of choices to put it on. (phase 1) so I put in on reduce fat cheddar cheese. It did the job and I am very fulll!!!

So, know I need a little motivation from my beauties!!!

Goals for today
1.) Try to attend step class tonight
2.) Try not to over eat
3.) Try not to stress!!!

Hope everyone has a happy healthy day!!!!

Hi Beach Beauties...

I just read the last few threads and the amount of support we're giving and receiving is great...lobster- sorry to hear about your rough week that just passed...i'm glad you shared it with us and try and stay positive...i think a positive frame of mind can help one overcome difficult obstacles! and as my mother always said..." there are always 5 solutions to every problem"...so like bballgrrl34 said.. take the weekend to relax and try to stay on track!

and a little trick for bballgrrl..I have seen it said on the t.v show "the biggest loser" (but it may just be a way to plug the product) but one of the trainers said that when you have cravings for sweets to pop in a sugar free gum to curb the cravings...they plug extra sugar free gum and i posted a website for you about it if you or anyone else wants to take a look....http://www.wrigley.com/global/benefits-of-chewing/diet.aspx

sorry for writing so much today...I just have a lot of energy as I did an hour long brisk walk today and just got back in ....i'm so happy i did the walk because it was to the bank and I usually drive but today i opted to ditch the car and walk the whole way in the sunshine! and i've also not smoked again this week so it makes a total of 13 days with only one slip up last saturday! hope everyone has a great weekend!

goals for june 18
-drink at least 64 oz of water
-buy a weight loss scale
-go to toys r us/ross's

Hi Beauties,

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. The weather has been wonderful. Lobster888 I hope things have started to get a little better and you got a chance to enjoy a relaxing weekend. Amanda thanks for the tip with gum. I did it this weekend. I only had two pieces so I need to go buy some more.

I am in an all day conference today and pretty much the rest of the week. I am doing 12+ hour days. So, working out and weighing in are on the backburner. I didn't get to weigh in today. I think I need to get a scale, that would make life easier. I am pretty sure I gained so I guess it is kinda nice not to see it and hopefully by next week I can drop back down. Well, I need to head to the conference. Everyone have a lovely day and good luck with weigh-in. I will still put all the weights and check-ins together this evening.

Weigh in: Lost 1 lb

And more than the "weight" I want to be nice and slim and toned for this summer. I carry weight at my waist and my inner thighs. Any suggestions are welcome. Feel free to read my food diary. I'm REALLY cutting things out for now.

No Coffee, Only proteins, fruits and vegetables. Barely any other carbs. At least 64 oz of water, but most likely closer to 90oz.

One cheat day (and when I cheat, I want it to be a) worth it b) not all that bad.

Trying to make sure I get at least 30 minutes of cardio in...plus some ab and leg work. Missed gym today, so I will do something tonight.

I need to get something different going this week!
Niece's wedding this Saturday, sure hope I can get into my dress!

Hi Beach Beauties,

My name is Gaby, I just found this thread and I'm hoping I can join. I have a goal date of 7/24/2010 cause I'll be hosting my greek themed engagement party and I bought the cutest greek goddess dress.
Of course livin in Orange County, CA its all about summer and wearing summer dresses and bikinis, so pushing myself to 7/15/2010 would be even better. The last couple of weeks I have lost a little motivation and I think this group would be the kick in the @ss. I'm ready to buckle down and get it done:

My goal weight is...................................................................................165....pounds

My weight on Monday 6/21/10............................................................174...pounds

My Goals for the week:
- complete the Brazil Butt Lift program week 3 not skipping any workouts
- add 3 to 4 days of circuit training
- add 3 to 4 days of Yoga
- drink 64 to 90 oz of water each day
- stay within my calories even during the weekends (that seems to be the problem)

** sorry for the edit. I wanted to change the date of my party is 7/24/2010

Start weight January 2010........................................................... 180IBS

Goal weight.....................................................................................125IBS

Last Week........................................................................................179IBS

Weigh-in Monday 6/21/10.............................................................179IBS
