    Oh Monday ;)

    okay i'm giving myself both a goal weight and NSV goal...

    Midsummer Meltdown really pushed me into high gear, I'm nearing goal, but I'm also adjusting my initial "GW" for myself.

    I'm going to try and lose 8lbs by 9/5.

    CW: 143.6
    GW: 135.6

    NSV's I have a few...
    1. I'm NOT going to get on the scale more than 2x/week. I'll check in on Mondays (weigh in day), and probably somewhere at the end of each week (like Friday) so see how i'm progressing or if I'm holding water weight. I seriously obsess over the scale..so I'm starting here.

    2. flatten my tummy. Its the one part of me I don't like.. I can't seem to shed it no matter what I do, so I will be doing mad focus on abs.

    3. Focus more on overall health and eating. While I do well in this department on a daily basis, I overly splurge 1-2 days a week (which causes my anxiety over the scale).

    4. Drink less Alcohol. Currently I have a "Fun Night" idk.. every other weekend :wink: I'm going to try to bring that down to once a month because Alcohol dehydrates me badly.

    Hello! I love this Challenge. This will be my first one on MFP. My CW is 130.5, and goal for this challenge is 119 by 9/5/11. I must believe that I can lose 11 lbs in 11 weeks. My non weight goals include to eat more veggies, less frozen meals, and less salt/processed foods. More whole foods and prepared foods. ALSO, daily exercise. That is the real goal.

    Thank you for posting this gift of a challenge! We can do this!!!

    CW: 161
    GW: 150

    I feel like I'm "stuck" ranging between 159-161 for weeks and weeks. This challenge couldn't come at a better time. My b-day is Sept. 4th when this challenge is almost over and my goal for months has been 150 by then so I'm going to DO IT.
    My NSVs:

    ~not obsess over the scale so much, I've been driving myself crazy because I feel stuck at this weight. Only going to weigh in 2X a week like Tissues said...I'm right there with you on that gal.
    ~eat more fruits and veggies, and "whole" foods...that is something I really need to work on and make time to do.
    ~Workout once a day for at least 30 minutes...this is something I've been slacking on for the past month.
    ~Up my cals on high workout calorie burn days...I think I'm eating too little but then other times I feel like I'm eating too much, I really need to figure this cal thing out.
    ~Try not to eat past 8 PM...seems like I'm always snacking on something after that.

    Good luck to everyone and I hope you stay with us, this is a great group of gals that I've been in past challenges with and you won't find a better group!

    I easily made the daily water intake but had already done my workout prior to your posting about the ankle weights. I'm in Afghanistan so I'm pouring the water in me everyday to counter the heat so my water count is about double what you are asking for to stay properly hydrated. I'll start adding a 16oz bottle of water in each of my hand for added weight when I run in the future.

    I just remembered I have to add an NSV (I need to journal these so I don't lose them...)

    I'm going hiking on 7/23 with family. 5 miles into the San Gabriel mountains, bungee jumping off the bridge to nowhere (Gulp.. I'm deathly afraid of heights, but jumping is part of facing my fears and moving forward for me), and hiking 5 miles out. My NSV will be completing it all without dying. :wink:
