    I am definitely in need of a challenge group. More so, I'm tired of venting frustration and talking about my journey with people who are not all that interested.

    SW as of 08/01: 228.8
    Goal for Aug: 210
    Self-Challenge: Gym 3 times / week

    I know 18lbs seems like a lot for a month - but I just started and typically have high drops during the first month I start watching what I eat and start hitting the gym. A couple years ago I hit over 20 lbs my first month. I want to set my goal higher so I am not reaching a low ball goal the first couple of weeks and then slack off. If I make it, I make it. If I don't - I'm still losing, so I don't care much. Guess it's all going to depend on how my body reacts to the "good foods" and not sitting around watching TV every day after work.

    Good luck to everyone who's joined. If anyone would like to add me as a friend, feel free to do so. I love having people I can share my story with, listen to theirs, and not feel like this is a struggle.

    Your starting weight for August: 248.6
    Your personal goal for August: 242
    Your personal self-challenge for August: Finish the 30 DS, continue C25K and start another series of DVD exercises... ripped in 30... p90X... Insanity... still choosing if anyone has thoughts. I think P90X/Insanity might be a little too intense for me for now. Please give advice!

    :D

    It's not too much if you do what you can. Keep moving, you'll catch on and keep up. If this is your first program, I'd do something more-- fun-- until you get in the habit. P90X can be a beast- and I was motivated.
