    I'm in...though my fitness will be very light. Injured my hip joint last sunday and on strict rest this week, allowed to stretch next week. So, I'll be keeping it light on the fitness and strong on watching what I eat. I signed up for a 7 day cleanse with 21 day eating clean diet that follows. That starts on July 19th.

    Let's do this!

    Welcome Lindsay and Christy!!! I am so happy you both joined the challenge. Allow yourself to heal Christy, and know that you can still lose weight when working through an injury. Knock it out of the park this week!

    Welcome Rebecca!!! 30 minutes of sweating is nature's "happy pill." It will give you a Serotonin boost that will have you calm and smiling for the rest of the day!

    Welcome mcfattest! I must confess, I don't like calling you that. It seems mean. I am so glad you joined our challenge!!! It is never too late to commit to being mindful of our health. I wish you a wonderful week!

    Welcome Terri! Congratulations on your April weight loss!!! Good for you for getting back on track. I look forward to watching your success!

    Happy 4th of July!!! Thought for the day: Is a holiday celebration really about food? I think, perhaps, it is about relationship. If we focus on the people we are with and not the food surrounding us, we may find a balance in the celebration. Enjoy you day!!!

    Hi guys! I need motivation and encouragement to lose 8-10 pounds that I already lost but allowed myself to regain. I'm so close to my goal, so that is frustrating!

    Hi everyone :) I'm so excited/ nervous to join this challenge. I'm fairly new to MFP and have never posted my weight before. I've set a big goal for myself but believe I can do it! Down 11 lbs since starting my lifestyle change on May 28th. We can do this!

    Weight lost/gained this week: since July 1st I've lost .5lb, so I'm starting today (7/5) @ 166.
    Weight lost/gained this month: n/a

    Successes/struggles this week:

    - wine and sweets are my weakness. It is my goal to have only one bottle per week (so 4 glasses), while I'm losing weight.
    I can't control myself around candy... If I have it in the house I will absolutely consume ALL of it - typically at once. So, this week I commit to NO candy.

    I would like to join also. I am traveling this month, so it will be a challenge to eat well when I am not in my own kitchen. I will be visiting friends, so I will have others deciding what is on the table. I am also traveling in areas known for their great food, bread and wine. I am also 5'8, and I would like to lose eight pounds this month, and 30 pounds overall.

    Welcome 1225dietwoods! My travel challenges usually pop up in Europe where the food and wine is so wonderful. Embrace walking! Hydrate with a lot of water and eat lightly but pick a meal to enjoy fully. No guilt involved! Is this a special vacation? If so, perhaps the goal should be maintenance not weight loss. It goes back to that life balance/joy. I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way!!!
