    I'm excited to get started! Here's to 30 days of accountability!

    You can do it. It's tough, but it's not impossible. Just watch what you eat, and how much--bingeing early in the day will sabotage you; you won't have anything left for evening.

    Margie, and everyone else not in my end-of-the-world California time zone--
    I didn't mean to imply that you should wait until the end of *my* June 1st to post your check-in. If it's the end of June 1st in your part of the world, then feel free to post.

    Right now I'm feeling the burn. Took advantage of the nice weather and push mowed my back and front yard....loving that sunshine and awesome work out. 30 min later I am wanting to scream my kingdom for water...lol but 231 calories burned so I don't feel bad lunch!

    doing great so far, but knowing me it will only last for so long, maybe this time I can keep things moving, raining here yesterday but still went walking, it was lovely, everything looks different in the rain, amazing, how's everyone else going?

    I only work part-time, and I was fortunate enough to be scheduled to work today. It's so much easier to stay on my diet when I'm at work.

    I love the rain, too, Margie. I wish it would rain here more often.

    It sounds like you're really rocking your fitness plan, armywf. Keep it up!

    Raining here today too, so I went to the gym & used the bike & treadmill instead of my planned outdoor C25K workout. Supposed to be nice tomorrow, so hopefully I can get my C25K in then. Also need to mow my lawn!

    I kept busy walking around a swap meet for 4 hours today. It was nice and overcast--perfect. And my wallet didn't get stolen. Very good day.

    hi everyone,, last night I, for the first time ever, had my portion in control! looked at every one's plate and my plate looked good, It was a great feeling. see how I go today, good luck ladies

    Good, margie! I still have trouble with portion control. I struggle with that more than anything else, I think.

    I think everyone struggles with portion control to be honest. I can't eat a steak the size of a deck cards thats like a tease for me. I love grilled steak!

    Haha, totally. And I can't stand leaving food on my plate. I'm ridiculously OCD about it.

    Hope you're having a good time.... I have had another good day today... The sun was shining and I did a 50 minute swim in the Spa outside pool.... Portion control - not doing so badly on that side. Eating lots of fish, so calories are light:-)

    Be good:happy:

    What a workout!!!!

    Great work, everyone.

    I had to take my husband to the ER today. Nothing serious, as it turns out--just a pulled back muscle. But he's in a ton of pain, and I wasn't able to leave him very often today. I did manage to spend 20 minutes cleaning up the house when we got home, and I made sure to write down everything I ate. We went to Subway after we got out of the hospital, and I ordered a 6" instead a 12" and refrained from requesting extra mayo.

    Hope everyone's June is going well! I have a mini success story from today:) We decided to order pizza but I had only about 450 calories left. As soon as I ordered I jumped up and played Just Dance 4 on workout mode until the pizza arrived. When looking at the calories for the pizza, I realized I could eat a full serving, I just wouldn't have any calories left and I'd be eating back my exercise calories. I had about 2/3 of a serving and then finished my workout. When I was done, I found I did not even want the rest. This may sound like a little thing for some, but it was one of the first times I was able to truly use will power. This challenge helped me with that, because before I would have been like oh well, it's just a few extra calories over, but that adds up! Loving this challenge and hope you all are having similar successes!

    Happy to read all your updates, congrats to all the successes, it helps me stay focused :)
    My last week didn't go exactly as I planned so I was a bit afraid to step on the scale for my usual Wednesday morning weigh-in, I was feeling kind of heavy... So I was very relieved when I saw that I hadn't gained any weight. In fact, I lost 0.1 kg. It's almost, nothing, more of a scale error, but anyway, works just fine for my motivation :D

    For the last weigh in, I accidentally forgot to weigh myself in the morning, and I weighed myself this morning to see how I'm doing so far this week and it showed 1.4 lbs lower than my weigh in on Monday. A few ounces might be normal fluctuations, but I'm still REALLY excited for my next Monday weigh-in! I've rarely been able to exercise this many days in a row (and its only been 4 days)! I can't wait to see my results at the end!
