August Weight Loss Group

I'm down about 5lbs from my starting weight. Yayy! Aiming for 10-15 more this month. I'll definitely be happy with 10, but 15 would be GREAT!!

I'm down 1lb today and setting my focus on maintaining current weight and getting ready for the 75km MS bike fundraiser on August 22. I live in Toronto, so getting on my bike regularly is not an easy (or safe!) task... hopefully all the running and other cardio exercise I HAVE been doing will make the ride easier

Hi guys, i'm back from holidaying in the South of France, had fab weather, ate probably too much and most certainly drank too much - and thats not water!! LOL (which i know i didnt drink enough of), tried to do a couple of miles running every now and again but it was so warm even at 9.00am, did quite a bit of walking as well

i had a sneaky peak at the scales today and think i may have gained a couple of pounds but i am going to try and drink loads of water hoping it could be that, and will see on monday at what my true weight is for august, so i am going to set myself 5lbs to lose august and i think this will have to include the holiday gain.

need to get motivated again for this month and burn those cals

Welcome back Wendy! It sounds like you had fun! You'll get right back on track I am sure

Great job embgrl! 4 pounds is amazing!!

cnbethea- congrats on your .8! Does this officially put you in the 150s? I know you were close! Great job!

I had an AWESOME burn Friday at the gym and home workout. Then I went out to dinner and ate those calories back with junk I should've eaten something healthy, but ah well. Yesterday I canned peaches with my mom, and it took all day, so I didn't get a workout in. I was so exhausted and felt like crap. It put me in a very negative state of mind and I ate cookies and ice cream, barely hitting maint cals for the day. That negative mood is threatening to carry over to today, so I need to kick myself in the butt and turn things around.

I have just been doing so badly on weekends lately, I am considering doing a biweekly weigh in including Monday and Friday to help deter my bad eating. That's going to be bad when I finally hit maint phase and start gaining! I've got to get out of the habit!

I started at what I'll call 215, though the week before was 218, but this morning was 212. That means I have one more pound for my goal, but I definitely won't let that slow me down. One snag though is that on thursday I will be going home to visit friends for a week and a half, which means a lot of eating out and probably not much in the way of running, but I have resolve to be good!
