    My mini goal is to drink my 6-8 glasses of water a day and get off my backside more. :drinker:

    I'd like to loose 2 lbs this week.

    HI,i will always be a day ahead so you can always know what the next day is.SO when i post exercise tomorrow it will be for thur. and so on.
    if you can't do the whole challenge just try to part of it.now our bodies need to rest to so at least one day a week it will be rest day.some days will be just cardio and other days will be both.
    So that's how i'm going to try our challenges.
    I'll start out slow and harder and harder ,you have buld up to it.If you want to do more go ahead,just don't risk injury.

    Have a great evening,Holly

    :smile: :smile: :smile: Welcome to dawndamen and congrats on your adorable baby. I had another birthday dinner...chinese food tonight. I limited my servings to 1 cup of rice, chowmein (shrimp) and almond chicken. I usually have two-three servings until I am stuffed. I decided not to worry about going out to eat and enjoyed my meal. I just calculated my calories and still have some to spare!
    I trying to do my calorie counter the night before so I can plan on what I am eating. This seems to give me a game plan for the day. It's tough but this group is awesome. We will all lose weight this year!:happy:

    Hi Everyone

    Most of us have mentioned our starting weight
    and goal weight
    I cant get it in her so I have created a free website just for us (the july starters)
    Please can you check it out!

    http://julystarters.weebly.com/

    Let me know if you want or don't want to be on the list os missing (oeps sorry)
    Also let me know if the data is incorrect
    I would like to make a new one every week after you have given the details
    It will stimulate all of us. The biggest losers can inform us how they did it and the smaller losers we will motivate more!
    How about it?
    The June starters have a similar one.
    I just started and can add a lot more. Suggestions are most welcome
    I am not a computer freak but thought it might help and stimulate us

    Hunibun had a great idea and I am going for it!

    have a great day, got to go now!

    Good Morning!! I wrote down the challenge for today and will do that tonight when I workout.

    I did well on Tuesday. Got my food logged in. Did 40 minutes of Turbo Jam cardio and then about 40 minutes of the Turbo Sculpt. That was a bit much at once so I'm not sure if I will be doing that combination again at night.

    Patty-Love the idea of a website. You can put whatever you want on there for me. The more I see what my actual weight is...the more determined I get.

    Dawndamen- I know how hard it is to get the workouts in with working and children. My boys are 12, 4 and 2. By the time I get home from work they want my undivided attention and it's hard to get stuff done...especially stuff for myself. Just do what you can. We are all here to support each other!! If I figure out any tricks, I will let you know.

    Yeah
    I did them all
    40 min cardio was better than that 1 hour the other day, to tired the following day.
    I have to build it up slowly, that's the secret I think
    I drank enough water
    every 3 hours I ate
    ate all the call

    I had a great day
    NOW!!
    The kids are all in bed, did my housework and now gonne sit down in front of the telly without snacks!
    I must say that I do find that difficult, specially with my hubby not back from work jet. I easily jump in the cupboard for something to eat.
    No I wont do it, the safest way is to go to bed a bit earlier and read a book

    have a good day girls

    I did the Wednesday challenge yesterday, but will do it again today. So far so good this week. I got a little weak later in the evening, needed something sweet so I ate a weight watcher's mini ice cream sandwich. I did not want any fruit, I wanted some real not supposed to have sugar:laugh:

    I really want to join but is it too late? I have no idea how else to join a group. And what all do we do to motivate each other?
    Also, do we get notified when there is a response to a topic? Help please!!

    Welcome elizabeth-agd.....your not too late. We just started Monday.
    And whatever you want to say to motivate us will be welcome or let us know when your feeling down and hopefully one of us can lift you up. :flowerforyou: Let patty09 know your starting weight and goal weight and she will add yours to the spread sheet on the web site julystarters.weebly.com/
    You will not get notified if there are post on this thread...you just have to check it on your own. I signed up to get notified in my e-mail if I get any messages in my inbox. Also in your home page they will alert you of a new message in your inbox. After clicking on my home--click on mail- it will open your inbox.I'll send you a message to your inbox so you see what I mean.

    patty09.....since you have us all on a spread sheet .....I thought my starting weight was 172 but weighed myself later that day and it was 175...so could you change that for me. Thanks for doing the spreadsheet....it looks great. My ticker is wrong too..I put in my weight this morning as 173.5 and it calculated it as 2 lb loss. Guess the ticker doesnt do fractions.
    Thats ok...l will catch up to it.
    I got 60 min. walk in already. I have a friend that I walk with. It usually is only once a week that we can find time to get together.
    YA ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY

    Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day!!

    I've done pretty well with my food today and I've done all but the 30 minutes cardio for the challenge - I'll try to get to that tonight.

    Patty - I love the spreadsheet. Thanks for putting it together. You can put my goal down at 130. Thanks!

    Have a great evening everyone! :smile:

    Hi! Had a great day. Did well on food. I just finished my workout. I did a 30 minute Turbo Jam cardio workout and a 20 minute Turbo Jam ab workout. I also finished my non-cardio challenge items for the day. I cannot do a full sit-up. I did crunches instead. I hope that's not cheating too much. Hope to work up to full sit-ups at some point.
    Have a great night all!
