    I'm in Momma24! I have 2 weeks of vacations in July so will need some motivation to stay on track.

    I would like to lose 4 pounds between June 24th and July 22nd

    My weekly goal
    1 pound per week
    at least 240 minutes of cardio and 60 minutes of weights per week
    at least 90 ounces of water everyday
    eat more vegetables!

    Sherry: You're absolutely adorable and you have me hooked!

    Cris: Set a goal we'll see you on Fridays! I agree with Sherry that once is week is better than not seeing you at all!

    Okay, this might be a bit aggressive, but I'm setting a goal of 6.8 lbs. lost between June 24 and July 22nd. I say aggressive because the weight loss is pretty slow since I'm getting close to my goal weight. (Did I really just say that??) This means 1.7 lbs. per week to get me down to 170 and within 20 lbs. of goal.

    My weekly goal:
    1.7 lbs. per week
    Running a minimum of once weekly
    Two strength training sessions weekly

    Hold me accountable, ladies!

    I'm in Momma! Thanks for the added focus. Like Cris, I'll set my goals this Friday.

    While I'm here, checking in for the weekend:

    Friday:
    Cals - Crazy over. Went out with some sorority sisters I haven't seen in 9 years and we had WINE and FUN!! I didnt' get home until 3:40 a.m.! HAHAHAHAHA!
    Water - 64 oz
    Exercise - Walked 30 min
    Proud - Had a ton of fun with old friends!

    Saturday:
    Cals - Over...someone might have picked up a pint of pistachio ice cream and lost her ability to stop eating on the way home...
    Water - 40 oz - NEEDED MORE
    Exercise - Walked for 30 min
    Proud - Eh....didn't pick up TWO ice creams?!?!

    Sunday:
    Cals - Under with exercise! Hallelujah! 1465
    Water - 64 oz
    Exercise - Walked 30 min
    Proud - Rediscovered portion control!

    Momma-Thanks for the update on blue! :flowerforyou:

    I'm in for the challenge. Let me brainstorm on my goals tonight and I'll post them tomorrow!

    I need to think about a realistic, actionable goal for this - will probably wait until Friday's weigh-in.

    Great it looks like a lot of us are going to do this. The reason I set my goal so high 2 lbs a week is I am no where near my goal still well over 200 pounds there is no reason why I can't lose 2 pounds a week for at least the first few weeks of really trying hard. So YAY we are going to do this. Don't forget to post your goals on Friday then each Friday after that keeping us updated on where we stand goal wise. I knew you would all start rallying around.

    Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally got a hold of Nancy (blue) her 85 yo father fell and broke his shoulder, arm, and elbow about a month ago. She said she has been on a roller coaster from hell this last month trying to get some answers for her dad. She is now caring for him full time and she has just been so busy and frightened by all that is going on with him. She says to tell you all that she loves you and she will get back as soon as she can but right now it is just impossible.

    I really feel for Nancy. We're going through something very similar with my 87 year old grandmother right now. She fell last Tuesday and hasn't been doing well at all. :frown:

    I am in on the challenge!

    My goals are:
    1.5 lbs/week, total 6 lbs
    Minimum 3 of my 24oz water bottles/day
    Exercise (50/50) 6 days/week

    One caveat: I am on a jr. high mission trip starting Friday afternoon. I will be trying to track food on my Droid, but no community. I will be back by noon, July 1, so will be a bit late on my updates. Since I asked the pastor to put me on a team with physical labor :tongue: - I am hoping that it will meet my exercise needs!

    Thanks for setting this up Momma - I think that it will keep us all motivated.

    Calories: under by 34, but not really healthy
    Water: 64 oz +
    Exercise: Hour with PT
    Proud: Went to Jr. High event tonight and just drank my water bottle!

    Count me in next month, Momma! :smile:

    I think if you were counted in this month, you would definitely hit a great weight loss - once that little gal is out!:wink:

    Yesterday's check-in:


    Calories: 113 under
    Water: 80 ounces
    Sodium: 480 under
    Exercise: 1 hour of personal training
    Proud: my trainer said I had "grit" when I pushed through the pain and did more than he thought I could. I was also glad I didn't come anywhere close to feeling like I'd be sick.

    ladeb - Glad my crazy weekend looked a bit familiar!

    Checking in for Monday:
    Cals - Over - 1858. DANG YOU COOKIE CAKE! We started our summer growth group last night. It's a dinner group so we'll be making a meal together each week. Last night our dessert person brought in a cookie cake, and well...poor choices abound.
    Water - 80 oz - YEAH!!
    Exercise - The usual 20 min walking + rushing around cleaning the house (which will now be every Monday!)
    Proud - Minus the cookie cake, dinner was a well-balanced meal (salad, roasted potatoes, flank steak) and our first group went really well.

    Good morning ladies. Happy Tuesday!! Hope everyones Tuesday started off better then mine. I woke up with no electricity...went back to bed for 15 minutes, woke up and it was back on...got my shower and everything and then lost power again. No blowdryer nothing! I'm improvising today! I was craving some ramen noodles so I caved and had some, without the seasoning of course. Gotta cave everyone once n awhile right?

    Jess, it is just one meal.... You will be fine.


    Check in for yesterday

    Calories: Honestly did not track yesterday

    Water Good

    Exercise: No

    Proud: This one is hard to do everyday. I am proud that I am going to lose 8 pounds by July 22nd:wink:

    Julie, you could say that you are going to lose 8 pounds by July 22nd and it would be guaranteed.... Ha the baby the blood placenta and water would weight at least 8 pounds. I lost 13 pounds in one day when I gave birth to my son. He was over 9 then all the other junk....:flowerforyou:

    Jess: We lost power sometime over night/early morning, too, but it was back on by the time I had to get up. We've had crazy amounts of rain the past few days. Ick!

    Checking in for yesterday:
    Calories: Over...I need to learn to stay away from all of the sides (fries, cheese curds) and stop with a sandwich. Darn you, delicious BBQ restaurant and your temptations!
    Water: 6 glasses
    Exercise: None
    Proud: I had a small sundae at McDonald's instead of the McFlurry. Why, oh why, can't I stay away from ice cream? I think I might start having that for dinner rather than having dinner AND the ice cream!

    I was thinking that I was being aggressive by saying I was going to lose 2 pounds a week over the next 4 weeks. Then I read this girls post and realized in order to get where she has gone she needed to lose at minimum 4 pounds per week. How oh how did she do that? Any how here is a link I found her very inspirational

    I am going outside to mow lawns before we hit the century mark here in CA. Besides my 17 yo child is sitting here verbally abusing me while I am trying to make my mfp rounds. She got on Google translate and is having it say..."My mom is crazy", "My mom lives in a fantasy world" and such comments in Spanish.. What a brat she is:tongue::tongue: I will probably be crying in August when she moves away so remind me of today so that I can feel better:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Heather - try fat free or low-fat froyo instead! Ben and Jerry's makes a bunch of flavors in froyo that taste exactly like to originals with a lot less of the fat, calories, etc. There's a new yogurt place in town with a toppings bar and I've been going to that when the ice cream mood hits instead of ice cream - it's a fairly good substitute.

    You guys are making me laugh today with your 'DANG YOU COOKIE CAKE' and 'DARN YOU DELICIOUS BBQ RESTAURANT'.

    checking in for yesterday:
    calories: good - but over on carbs
    exercise: good - an hour of step
    water: under ... need to work harder on that goal of 90oz!
    proud: I am working on eating more veggies today

    confession: I went back to the casino last Friday night by myself and I'm not ready to do that yet ... still felt out of control and spent more money than I had planned to. I told myself I deserved it ... but I didn't deserve to spend more than I had set aside, and I felt bad all weekend and probably a bit more out of control with food too - it just isn't good for my soul.

    lstpaul, I am sorry that you felt bad all weekend. The fact that you realize that it wasn't the right thing to do means that you can fix it. Just keep up the good work and keep us posted because we are here for you.

    Hi ladies!
    I had an OB appointment this afternoon. I'm going every week now. :noway:
    I'm 75% effaced & 1cm dilated already. :drinker: Now, I know that doesn't really mean anything since I could sit there for weeks but whatever, I like progress!
    My OB said we're golden at this point -- baby can come out whenever she's good and ready! :happy:
