    I'm in.

    SW 159.8

    Last week, my goal was just to track and not eat too much junk.
    This week, my goal is to exercise everyday.

    Walked the dogs 4 miles up and down a lil' mountain with a friend this morning.
    I'm playing tennis tomorrow night. I'm on my own for motivation the rest of the week, so far.

    Hi everyone,
    I'm back and ready to go.:happy:
    Only lost one pound in July and that was amazing considering that I was on holiday in the states all month.
    Starting weight in January 159:noway:
    Today's weight 132:smile:
    Goal for end of August 128:love:
    We have my daughters wedding reception this Friday night so we are busy at my house getting all the last minute details taken care of.
    And it is HOT HOT HOT over here in Egypt. MAYBE I CAN JUST SWEAT OFF 5 POUNDS. :laugh: LOL Phyljen

    Good to see you back!

    It is only in the 80's here but it is soo humid! I was trimming shrubs yesterday and I think I was more sweaty after that than my 6 mile run!

    Today is my day off from working out! Legs are a bit sore after doing 6 miles yesterday. I was up late with a sick kid last night and took him to urgent care this morning only to find out it was a virus. The PA said she had seen over 35 kids with the same symptoms in the last few days...fever, sore throat, stomach ache.....all the symptoms of strep-throat but so far no one had tested postive for strep.

    For all the new people, rules of our group........THERE ARE NO RULES!

    Weigh in on your normal weigh in date.

    Share support and encouragement. Great ideas are welcome. Ask questions and we will try to answer! There is no right or wrong way to do this.

    YOU NEED TO DO IT YOUR WAY! It has to work for you or you will not stick with it.

    We are shooting for 5 pounds a month because for most that is more realistic than 2-3 pounds per week. You did not gain weight and get out of shape in a month so you will not lose all your weight and get in shape in a month. SLOW AND STEADY!

    Don't get discouraged by ups and downs. (I personally was down to 173 in April and do to bad eating am back up to 179...but physically I can run further than I could in high school.....try to look at the positive)

    Don't beat yourself up! If you make a mistake.....figure out what went wrong and get right back on track!

    Please share more ideas as they come to you!

    Ok all, here's this coming weeks BMK Challenge:

    Walk for a full hour 4 days this week, it can be a hour straight or broken into smaller sections, but get in a full hour each day however you can do it. Also, we work on ourselves all the time, how about 'killing two birds with one stone' and clean for 2hrs this week, a fresh house/car/garage/etc and burning calories, what a combo!! As for a food challenge, lets try eating at least 3 fruits a day (one at breakfast, lunch, and dinner or snack) for 3 days, if you feel you could also have a fruit at each snack go for it, but try to not snack as much and when you do, add a fruit! Good luck all and I'll see ya throughout the week and on Friday with my weigh in! XoxoxoX Bru

    ps, I pick the following weeks challenges, so if anyone has an idea, private message me, I'm always up for new ideas!

    Im ready to make it under 165 this month!! : )
    I have joined a zumba class and have gone 2 times but im looking forward to going 2 times a week from now on : ) that is more than i was doing last month so thats good and im also thinking about doing a monday step class but i would have to take the kids with me so im not sure since they are two and a half and 11 months but we will see im going to brave it the first monday i get off of work haha. Also on the 24th im going to start going to the gym at the college nearby so that will help and i will be working out 4 days a week as opposed to just walking as many nights as possible

    Congratulations to everyone last month and good luck for this month ...

    for those that didn't make the 5 pounds last month like me well good luck and don't give up : ) i know i wont
