    Week #2 weigh in. Down by 0.4 lb. Its not exactly what I wanted to see, but not totally unexpected. All in all, I'm down by 7.2 lb in two weeks. I will take it!!! Still doing well well with water intake and fruits/veggies. I need to increase activity and stay within my calorie goals.

    SW: 279.4

    1st WI 272.6

    CW: 272.2

    GW: 271.4 by August 30, 2011.

    I've strayed away from my personal goal a tad... okay... probably more than a tad.
    My last workout was last Thursday :frown: & I haven't really been getting in my water like I should. I guess I've been feeling a little off lately? However, I've still been logging my food daily, but just not meeting my personal goal. Must...... work........ harder! :wink:

    Checking in. I weigh in tomorrow morning. I had a bad weekend, but I've done good through the week with my eating... I haven't worked out much though because I have been babysitting 8:30am-7pm. I keep a 21 month old, and I have a 26 month old. So there hasn't been much time for exercise! Once I get into the routine, I'll find time though.

    I babysat a few kids two years ago, it can be tough to find that time for exercise, the kids I had - including my own all took an afternoon nap at the same time and I could squeeze in a quick 30-45 minute workout and a quick shower so I didn't have to be sweaty all afternoon. I also had a double stroller for the days when I only had two kids and a large wagon for the days I had 3 kids and we would go for little walks around the block. It was nice just to get outside and do something!! You'll get into the swing of it pretty quick!

    I'm supposed to weigh in tomorrow too, but with the stress of a new job, not much exercise and going over my calories at least 3 days this week I don't think it will be a very good week!! Hopefully I get into the swing of things pretty quickly too!!

    Been awhile since I've last checked in. I wasn't sure if I was going to make my goal in time because I was waiting on my 30DS to come and it never did. However, I have great news that I'm down to 159.8lbs from starting the month at 164lbs. I've been going down this steep trail by my house a lot and today will be my third day in a row. Today I'm stepping up my challenge to walking to the trail instead of driving there which will add possibly another 30-45 mins to the 50 min trail. :) My goal weight for the end of the month is 156lbs and I think I have a chance!

    I wish the kid I babysit and my kid would nap at the same time! The one I babysit takes a nap easily enough every day around noon. My kid never takes a nap! Before I had two kids around, I'd just workout with my son under my feet. It was easier than it sounds. But now with the second kid, there is no way. I was working out 30 minutes a day, 7 days a week. I just changed my "goals" on MFP to doing 60 minutes, 3 times a day. If nothing else, I can do the elliptical at the fitness center once the other child goes home on days I babysit. Days I don't babysit, I can either do my stuff at home or the elliptical or a combo of both. :-)

    You can do it! :-) Sounds like you are very determined. Good luck!!

    Weigh in day for me!

    SW on MFP (July 29) - 227.8
    SW for August (August 1) - 224.4
    Goal for August - 219 (changed it from 220 so I'd be out of the 220's)

    TODAY'S WEIGH IN - 217.9! :happy:

    Since I've hit (and bypassed) my August goal, I'm not setting another goal. There is only one more Friday in the month for me to weigh in, so whatever I lose will be wonderful.

    well my weigh in day was supposed to be friday - which I did weigh in, but the scale stayed the same :( I knew I wouldn't have much of a loss this week, I haven't been getting in nearly enough exercise and I had been over my calories a few times. I just started a new teaching job and I was busy all last week getting my room ready for the kids who start on Tuesday. So hopefully now that that is done I will have a little more time to devote to myself this coming week!!

    Just wanted to check in -
    I've managed to achieve all of my weekly goals so far (more water, tracking, back to the gym, and starting C25K). I'm down 10 lbs, so only 2.5 more lbs to get to my August goal!

    Hope others are having a successful challenge!
