Plan Your Workout
Some of us (Not ME) just aren’t morning people. It’s not easy being motivated when you’re half asleep. This is why you should do everything you can the night before to make getting ready for your workout easier. Set aside everything you’ll need (shorts, sports bra, shirt, socks, shoes, iPod, head phones, gym card, etc.) and put it all in one place for the morning. I even go as far as filling up my water bottle and storing it in the fridge the night before. You might even consider sleeping in your gym clothes. "LL"

Good morning all! Guess I'll be the first one to post results this week.
I am so stoked about a personal non-scale victory I achieved last night & wanted to share with you all:
I've been walking just about every night this month, and last night my map my walk app told me I broke the 100 mile mark for this month. When I started walking in June I never dreamt I could do this. But I did, and if I can do it everybody can! And if you're not a morning person (like me) then work out at night. I have a walking buddy and we hold each other accountable every evening.
These are my stats for this week:
Age:38
Height:5'10
Start Weight (29th June):284
Goal Weight (14th Sept): 249
29th June:284
6th July: 282

I had a tough time getting motivated to MOVE this past week! Only took 1 walk all week- UGH. But knowing this, I was pretty careful with my calories. Glad to see I actually went down a little. I DID take a 3.5 mile walk this morning and plan to do that a few times before the next weigh in. I have 25 days to meet my goal of 199. Even if its an ounce at a time- I WILL GET THERE!!!!!

Weight loss this week: 1.8lb, with a total weight loss for 9 weeks of 11lb. Another very decent week - I changed my cardio workout significantly. I moved from a load of steady state cardio to HIIT workouts (first day 10 minutes, now I'm up to 15 minutes, and eventually I want to be doing 20-30 minutes for maximum impact). I've also moved into the free weight area of the gym - that was a bit scary, as there's lots of really buff people, and then there's me, huffing and puffing with puny little weights! I've not been doing it long enough to see a result, but fingers crossed!0 -
Good Morning all and congratulations to all losers! Way to go!
I am down to 204.8
maybe I will reach my goal before the 18th. Sorry I don't have time to post more this morning, but must get to work. will post when I get home. Have a great day 0 -
WOW! Sept.1 already. The summer has gone by fast. I have 18 days before the end of my first 12 week challenge. I will continue with another 12 weeks until I reach my goal. I have 5 pounds to lose to meet my first goal by the 18th, I will really try hard to get there.0

good luck to you Izzy!
Feeling very proud of myself tonight. I went out and walked 3.7 miles in an hour tonight. I had that old "blow it off" feeling creeping up on me and I made myself go out and now I feel fabulous! Sweaty, but fabulous! LOL!!!0 -
Choose to Lose
Realize that this is a lifestyle change and remove the word ‘diet’ from your vocabulary. This isn’t temporary, unless you want the weight loss to be temporary. Don’t give something up unless you’re planning on giving it up for life. Moderation is key – you don’t have to give something up to lose weight – just eat less of it. EH0 -

I so agree with this. I don't intend to return to my old ways. I am laying down new habits and I feel so energised by it all. For the first time in years I am no longer yo-yo-ing on temporary, quick-fix, weight-loss 'diets', but eating for health and vitality.
Good luck on reaching you interim goal.0 -
Thanks every body for your support. I haven't been able to exercise for 3 days because my back went out. I can really feel the difference. I haven't been posting my meals and exercise and that makes me panic. I hope to get back on schedule in the morning. I am going to try some yoga stretches and hope it helps. Sometimes things happen that lead us in a different direction but we still can be focused and do the best we can.
I myself am a morning person and its a must for me to start my day right(exercising, smoothie, etc.). If I start the day right, I will stay on course. my sister stop by today and we haven't seen each other for a month or so. She asked how much weight had I lost and that she could tell that I was still losing. That made me feel good and gave me the encouragement I needed to do well.

Weight loss lies
Your bathroom scale doesn't lie about your weight, but you might be fibbing to yourself. People tend to subtract a few pounds from their weight and add an inch or two of height in self-reported surveys, according to a 2013 Irish study from University College of Cork. It doesn't end there. We also lie to ourselves about what it takes to drop pounds and keep them off. Being truthful to yourself can help you recognize the challenges you need to overcome in order to make real progress. Here are common weight loss lies you may be telling yourself, and how to face the facts.
I'm doing everything I can to lose weight and nothing's working.
"This typically translates to, 'I'm doing everything I'm willing to do." You need to ask yourself, 'Is there anything I can do that I'm currently not willing to do?'" Take a look at your day-to-day habits for ways to add in more activity (get up from your desk more often, walk the stairs) or eat healthier (bring a lunch versus relying on last-minute choices from the vending machine). Track your food and exercise to pinpoint trouble spots. EH
