    Congratulations! You have lost a decent amount of weight!

    I will be going on vacation to Montana on July 2nd so if you are staring a July Goal challenge I would love to be a part of it.

    Welcome! Kistinbee started this challenge in February and people are doing very well so far.
    What part of Montana??


    Congratulations Bob!! 40 lbs is fantastic!! Keep it up. I haven't really hit a plateau yet either and I am keeping my fingers crossed!:tongue:

    Glacier National Park!!! SOrry it took so long to respond just came back from a week long business trip.

    I have transverse myelitis which is a one episode cousin to MS. I'd be interested in sharing with others successful ways to exercise while staying relatively cool. For example, my right side goes numb within 5 minutes of eliptical. I can keep going since I don't have to move my right foot off the foot rest. I don't do the treadmill as I'm concerned I'll trip.

    I absolutely love to ski and have graduated to the black diamonds this year. I'm just careful to dress light so I stay cool. It's all about not raising my body temperature. I'm wishing I could come up with something to keep my body temp low in the summer. Any thoughts on this?

    Maybe you can wear a headband or a light hat that is soaked in cold water while you work out...And don't wear cotton. It holds in moisture. Look for a "wicking" material like poly propolene. Good luck! And congrats on the black diamonds!!:drinker: I am sad that the ski season is all but over :cry:

    I am having the same problem as you Amanda. I will lose a decent amount one week and barely anything the next. Very frustrating. Since it is coming up on my "water retention week" I have decided to eat more and see what happens (I'll probably have a gain on Monday anyway). I think my metabolism has speeded up from getting in better shape and I may not be eating enough, because I am certainly working out a lot. Good luck, and let me know if you figure it out!!

    I have many goals that i would like to reach by my vacation in July.

    1) weigh 240 @ 12% body fat. (i need to gain about 15lbs muscle for this)
    2) body part mesurements (see profile)

    Starting weight Jan/08 268 (no body fat but high 20's im sure)
    Start MFP Feb/08 262
    3/17/08 249 23% body fat
    3/24/08 249 22% body fat and 1/2 inch off waist.

    Im not looking forward to my monday 3/31 weigh in. i have not been able to lift for a couple days now. i seem to have hurt my shoulder. maybe i can get a cortizone shot to get me through a few more weeks. in the mean time i guess i just continue with my 3x per week cardio and maybe just do my leg work outs. heading out to the gym in a few.
