    Hey hope you're all doing well in your first 2 days. I'm really motivated this month and looking forward to what it brings! Welcome aboard new memebers too.

    So far in the last 2 days I've walked/run over 5 miles a day and even managed a 12 mile cycle yesterday and a half mile swim! This is quite unusual for me to do so much in 2 days, but thought I'd start the month off big. Drinking much more water than I usually do as well.

    Good luck everyone for the month ahead.

    This was my first day of my 10K training. I feel really good. I really needed to work on my endurance, and this is the ticket. How is everybody else doing on day 2 of the challenged?

    I started this journey prior to joining My Fitness Pal at my highest weight ever 274. I know had I been sticking with it I probably would have reached my weight loss goal by now. I believe I am more focus now and more determined to finally get this weight loss off. I just need help from my friends. Sometimes I need a swift kick in the butt to get me back on track. I find that I get bored easily and miss the things I love. I just need to remember that those bad habits is what got me here in the first place. I can still have those things I love just in moderation and just not right now. They are not going anywhere and I can still have them once I reach my goal.

    My goal is to be in the 230's before I leave on vacation August 25th which means I need to loose 5 pounds to be at 239. I would like to be at 235 which is what I am reaching for.

    I also want to be in the 220's by September 27th and in the 200's by the time my birthday hits on Oct 19th. I know I am asking for a lot but with determination I know I can get close to it.

    I want to wear an awesome sexy dress for New Years Eve. Every year my husband and I host a New Years Eve party. I told him that if I reach the low 200’s or get below 200 by New Years Eve that I want to buy a sexy dress and go out for a change. I want to show off the new me.

    I just need some help pushing me along the way. You guys are really the best.

    By the way where is everyone from? Succeedin gave me a good idea, it would be great if we all could finally meet each other. Pick a central location and make a girls day out of it.

    Well I loss 2 pounds this week. I was nervous at first because I was still at the weight I was last Thursday when I weighed myself yesterday morning.

    Now if only I can keep up this pace I will be in a slinky dress in no time by New Years Eve.
