    Okay I weighed in today at 139 so I suppose my goal is 134, BUT I think I'm going to measure myself because muscle weighs more than fat.

    I've opened my diary up to friends only so if you want to take a look at mine, or vice versa, just send a request. I'm really excited about this. Hoping to lose more than the 5lbs so fingers crossed!

    Hello everyone! It's July 1 and an official weigh- in day! I decided to start using the Wii Fit as my new and only way to weigh myself, but unfortunately it shows a 5 pound difference (UP) from what the other two scales have been showing. However, it does seem to be a bit more consistent and I prefer that over the actual number it reports.

    JULY 1 WEIGH-IN - 235lbs

    PLANNED WORKOUTS:
    Friday: "Fit to Strip" video - 350 calories
    Saturday: Ultimate Frisbee - 850 calories
    Sunday: Bike Ride and "Fit to Strip" video - 1000 calories
    Monday: Bike Ride - 650 calories
    Tuesday: Volleyball and "Fit to Strip" video - 850 calories
    Wednesday: Bike Ride - 650 calories
    Thursday: Volleyball and "Fit to Strip" video - 850 calories

    TOTAL CALORIES BURNED = 5200

    THIS WEEK'S PROBLEM DAYS = Saturday night bachelorette party, Sunday evening Fourth of July cookout.

    JULY 8 GW - 233.5lbs

    On Friday July, 8 I'll be back and report my actuals, my successes and, yes, my downfalls. Hopefully that accountability will keep me on track to actually stick to my plan. Good luck everyone! Especially those celebrating a holiday this weekend!

    Ugh -- so I am at my parents' house for the 4th and I did horrible yesterday! Used up one of my 4 bad days already, on the very first day. And woke up this morning over a pound heavier than yesterday because of all the sodium. So frustrated with myself! I WILL stay under today!

    Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in the game! You can do this!

    I actually increased my calories because I was on 1200/day goal to lose 1.5lb/week so now I'm on 1lb/week. The 1200 was stressing me out and I was eating and eating and eating and feeling guilty. Now I feel more at ease about calories and in control. I don't know if you could do this? But honestly, I've had the worst few days/week to the point I thought about quitting MFP and more and I feel a little bit better here and there.

    You can do it!

    Has anybody thought about zig-zagging calories? Because I'm thinking about it but I'm not sure yet and that would kind of cancel me out of this challenge.

    Hello everybody! So it looks like I have to back out of this challenge. I just went to the doctor and she told me I tore my soleus (a small muscle in my calf) and every time I'm exercising it gets worse. I am not allowed to exercise for a whole week! This includes walking :( Ahh well. Good luck everybody! YOU CAN DO IT

    I decided to do a 7-day detox program on Monday to try and kick start my metabolism using Natural Factors Revitamix and Detoxitech. I am on Day 5 and doing well but just started the Detoxitech drinks today - they are ugly green and unbelieveably nasty tasting. Has anyone else tried this and have suggestions on what to mix it with to hide the flavor?
