July Weight Loss Group

poof! :ohwell: the weekend comes and everyone vanishes :glasses:

Hope you all are having a great weekend and keeping on track... I work in retail, so it really means nothing to me!

I'm down 1 lb today, but want to make sure it sticks before putting it in my weigh-in thingy...

I've now lost five pound, so Ive got another five to go this month to hit my 10 pound goal... here's hoping!

Darling_Jay way to knock out 5lbs you rock!!

Ebonia that's it Do your best and forget the rest!! Great job over the weekend!!


Alright guys talk about a blow that can totally knock the wind out of my sail I stepped on the scale after 550 mins of working out and I was down 0.8 all I can say is really that's it ok so the plan for this week is to really buckle down on my food this time plus anothe great workout week is on the way. I will see what that bring 3weeks left something will work!!!

Glad to hear it was a good weekend!

cnbethea - wow you're workin out like crazy! Are you doing p90x?? I know that "do your best" line all too well... not doing the full program currently, but do still squeeze in the ab ripper every 2-3 days. Tony Horton is crazy, but what a workout!

potentially not eatting ENOUGH? that can be just as bad... I actually increased my daily calorie intake about 3 months ago, around the same time when I shed off 10lbs. Also increased daily protein intake. Might help if you're burning that many calories with weight training involved...

:flowerforyou:

Happy Monday my fellow losers or should I say gainers and maintainers. I am so proud of you all for working out so hard and most importantly finding time to post. You all are so motivational.

cnbethea- hang in there girl it must surely happen for you. so proud of you. 0.8lb may not seem like much but there are several ways of measuring success, losing inches, like fitting into that size 8 skirt! awesome and getting stronger.

ridelikeagirl616- welcome and good job losing that 1lb.

Darling_Jay- awesome job

Ebonia- good job making good food choice over the weekend. so proud of you

ifychudy: So sorry about your foot! I hope it heals quickly. :flowerforyou: I just realized the same thing about the cardio. I do 30DS and BL Boot Camp and occasionally walk with the kids but without a true cardio session the "soft" outer layer won't go away.

Today was a rough day at work. I am drained. I don't want to workout! (That must be my inner child speaking.) I didn't workout Sat or Sun though. Maybe I'll find some motivation in the next 2 hours.

Thanks for the welcome! I've lost 8 with 5 to go this month! Feeling better already and fitting into smaller clothes again! Thanks for the support.

Can I join...? I know it is the middle of the month...but I just started on here yesturday. I would like to lose at least 3 pounds (if not more) by July 31st. I know that isn't much but it is my goal right now...hopefully with all I am doing I will be losing more and more then just 3 pounds.

well the weight loss seems to be more than a fluke, so I'm happy to say I'm down 2.5lbs now! (2.5 more to go!) I'm at 17.5lbs lost since Feb 2010 now :happy: I started the year in a rut after months of working out by myself and thinking my diet was pretty good but not seeing any results. I tried p90x. I tried the Jillian 30 day shread. I play sports 2-3 times per week but I was having minimal success.
MFP has taught me so much more about what I was actually eating and adding a personal trainer was the BEST money I've ever spent Having the support and encouragement you can find on the message boards is HUGE too!
Keep at it everyone! I'm a believer now that anyone can get fit and healthy! Way to go July group :flowerforyou:

Well, I did it! I forced myself to workout and I feel great. It's hot as all get down but I now have hope for tomorrow's weigh in. :happy:

Halfway through the month and I've lost 3 lbs. It's not quite the 5lbs I would have hoped for to be on track to reach my goal of 10lbs this month, but I am happy with any progress! Good luck everyone!

I'd like to join, if that is OK. I have lost four pounds so far this month and I am shooting for 6 more. I know, big goal! But I am going to try my best! Thanks!

Hey Ladies & Gents

I am back from Cuba yesterday after a fantastic 2 weeks holiday :-)
Thanks Tattoo for keeping the group plus many new faces going, thats just great.
Well I dont get my official weigh in until next wednesday but I did pop onto my scales when I got home and it looks like I STS which I am so happy with considering calories were out of the window when I was away :-)
Right well back to the hard work again now.
As its now mid July, I wont set my target to high, so from now until the end of July I will aim to lose 4lbs :-), thats 2lbs for my next 2 weigh ins until the August group is rolling.
Tatts are you ok to still admin for this month and I will do August?

Happy Saturday Everybody! I apologize for not posting very much. I haven't had a lot of time to read up on the earlier posts, but in looking at all the "down" numbers posted below it seems everyone is doing great. Was there any doubt! LOL!

I just wanted to update everyone on my July results so far. I have lost 7 pounds! I wanted 6 for the whole month so I'm absolutely ecstatic right now. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency a couple of weeks back and so far I've started taking MEGA D pills twice a week that my doctor prescribed, and I feel like new person. I've been plagued by muscle pain, joint pain, chronic fatigue, skin issues, swelling, and so on for the past 3 years. In only a week and a half it seems like everything is just gone. I feel wonderful!

So that's my update. I hope everyone is doing well and working their way to their July goals!

Have a great weekend everyone!
