    Other than that, I think challenges would be a great idea!! Anyone have any suggestions as to what to start with?

    I think that we should go join the AB Challenge already in progress- it's new so we won't be too far behind. It's a workout alright! Whew!

    We could do a Step Goal, or heck, even just the goal to eat all your cals! :flowerforyou:

    I also think they'd be a great idea! We should definitely start one for July.. I've got a 1.5 week vacation and a conference to go to that month so I'll definitely need something to keep me on my best behaviour away from home! :laugh: With so many amazing people I'm sure we'll be able to come up with a super creative and fun challenge! :bigsmile:

    Today was good...ran a mile for the first time in 5 years! wahoooooo I have found that while doing this I have so much more self control when it comes to food as well. Where I used to give in to everything, I can now pass it up or indulge to a lesser degree. I even had pizza last night and stayed within my calorie goals because I didn't eat 109093 slices, I just had 2. Feels good.

    And....tomorrow (6/25) is my birthday!! I'm excited to be 23 :) My friends have already told me they're making me peanut butter blondies and chocolate cake....I figure one day won't kill me. I'll just try to have a smaller slice than I normally would. I'm going out to eat with friends then we're going to an outdoor bar....should be fun! I'm also getting a haircut tm and we all know that is awesome :happy:

    Good luck the rest of this week ladies...keep up the hard work and we will achieve our goals! YAY for June starters!

    My scale broke this last weekend and I finally bought a new one today. I have no idea if I've actually lost any weight, but it would be nice if so.

    I've got a confession to make.. after buying my new running shoes (the new model of my old asics is so ugly :grumble: ) I walked by the Dairy Queen/Orange Julius place and gave into the temptation of a small cone :embarassed: I at least resisted the brownie blizzard and the yummy chocolate dip on the cone.. small success right? :laugh:

    I guess I'll be doing some extra exercising tonight, and maybe even start that AB challenge! And of course, be on better behaviour tomorrow :ohwell:

    I can not have a scale in my home because I'll frustrate myself by weighing in everyday. I actually go to my dad's house to weight in. It gives me a chance to see the fam and catch up once a week as well. It's also great to report the good news to others who care.

    I have a confession to make~:cry: I haven't exercised but one day so far this week! I feel like crap but my schedule between kids and other family obligations has left me no time for myself. YIKES!!! The scale is not going to be good to me on Monday! I am scared....
    Anyone else have that kind of week?

    Weigh loss is 80% eating , 20% is work out. If you drink 100oz of water and don't input much salt, it helps your body to lose weight. I felt so down the last 2 days. I could not do cardio work out. My left leg is swollen. I do my upper body weight lifting workout down. I miss my Zumba class :sad:

    I actually read an article the other day (on MSN I think) that said people who weigh theirself daily are more apt to lose weight. Not nessicarily because you're stressing over it, but because it helps you to realize that your body DOES fluctuate which is completely normal. I'm a daily weigher too, and I don't think it's a bad thing.


    I read something similar. I am a daily weigher as well. I used to weight myself everyday and be very fit. When I started gaining weight I stopped weighing. Denial. Since I have been heavy I rarely weigh in, so I am actually making myself weigh in daily again. Before I get on the scale I try and guess whether it will be up or down based on what i ate the day before. I only will be recording weekly weights, but I use daily to motivate myself to get my butt on the cross trainer.
    I weight myself every day except this week I m on TOM. It does help me to stick to my diet. The scale goes up and down. Sometimes I'm 5 lbs heavier than the day before. I only record the lowest weight.

    Hi gals,
    Okay, I went tto the starters thread and signed in last week
    Then I went to the weigh in thread on monday and weighed in!
    And then I went to the picture thread and posted my picture which turned out toooooo big!
    Now I am here and I guess this is where everyone is talking!
    I have a suggestion......could we call the thread that we are chatting on the "JUNE Starters, CHAT, 6/29 to 7/6" If we could start a new weigh in thread on Monday and also start a new chat thread on every monday! What do you all think? Then in July we can have the June starters July pictures! I guess this is just the social worker in me working over time!

    This has been a hard week for me. Planning this wedding in Mexico and doing it all by email with a person who has english as a second language is very frustrating. My son is a teacher so he is out of school and is right in there making plans. Every time the phone rings we say"it's the bride calling" lol! Don't know what he would think knowing that is what we say when he calls!

    Here comes trouble again!
    I have another suggestion!:blushing:

    I would love to be the stepping club!
    Almost everyone can do steps and you can compete with others or with yourself!
    You will find ways to put the steps on your counter!
    It is really fun and we could have a little banner to award to the stepper of the month!

    And God knows I love those banners!

    I can see it now! JUNE STARTERS STEPPING OUT TO SLIMNESS! lol!
