    Happy Friday everyone! =)

    Water: I've been doing really well so far! I have been drinking at least 32 oz of water every day and it feels great!
    New exercise: Nothing new, just continuing my insanity workouts
    Calories: I went over today. =( I went out to dinner with a couple of friends at Texas Roadhouse. I couldn't help it! I love their cinnamon rolls!! So I'm still at 3/7 for the week.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    My check-in

    Good on water, never really an issue with that but I try and do a 128 oz. a day to cover what my body needs and of course the extra my workouts need as well.

    Working out on the AMT and really loving it, started using the Rowing machine again after being away from it so long. Upped my Strength training days to 3 now and Cardio at 3 also, remaining day is a rest day. Incredible feeling after training, so much energy, it's mind blowing! lol Is my house ever getting clean:blushing: :bigsmile:

    Not the best food day ever that's for sure, simply not the healthiest choices I usually try and get in but redeemed myself at dinner.

    Have a super weekend All, take time for YOU!:wink:

    I've been going up and then down again in weight for about 2-3 months now (between 280ish-270ish). I weighed myself this morning just to see how I was doing and I'm down to 277.4 (started at 285 at the beginning of this week). I'm thinking most of that has had to be water weight. Now to not mess this up over the weekend!!!!!

    I'm doing pretty good on this weeks challenge and looking forward to next week :happy:

    So far this week I've been doing pretty good :happy: and have managed to stay under my calories every day, plus am drinking an extra 2 glasses of water - up from 8 to 10. I've also started my new exercise and have just done day 4 of Befit in 90 which is killing me!!
    The hard part starts now though as it's Jubilee weekend here in the UK which means lots of socialising, street parties and lots and lots of cake on offer! Must stay strong and try to resist too much temptation :wink:
    Hope you all have a wonderful weekend wherever you are! :heart:

    Had a great morning workout today, tried some new equipment and also did the walking track which I'd never taken time to use before. It feels great to add even more to be able to switch things up doing my various workouts!

    I plan to be outside a good part of today and it's supposed to be hot/humid so the water will definitely be flowing, mmm cold water, best drink ever!:love:

    Super Sat. to All :flowerforyou: :happy:

    Well yesturday was a bust - but not to get me down. Ate way over calories (partial due to all the beer I drank last night). Today is a new day. Starting off the morning with a healthy omelette. Going to clean out my garge today which will be extra cals burned, then would love to get out for a jog this afternoon. Should sweat out a lot of cals - suppose to be 25C here today. Going to try to stay with in the calories today. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

    Count me in! I've been losing steadily for the past couple of months but hit a snag this past week so this will help me get back on track. I'm thinking the 15 pounds by the end of August will work for me as well!

    Hi, could I join as well? I started on MFP about a year and a half ago and completely lost track around February. I think I'll be starting at 124 (but will check Tuesday) and want to go back down to 117. This group sounds like it's exactly what I need!

    I'd really love to join in as well! I will be weighing myself tomorrow and then again on Tuesday to make up for it!

    I lost 20 pounds on here last summer and felt amazing, but i had a stressful year at school and put it all back on. What I hated most was that I really was letting myself down after feeling so good for so long. So this time I'm back and want to learn how to keep it off! I have 12-15 pounds to go and would love to get there by August!:)

    Can't wait!

    Another day done. Did the side lying pilates again. I tied to do some of the standing pilates, but my foot could not handle it. It feels good to be working out again though!!!

    Water intake could have been better, but I did make sure to get some. And I drank some herbal tea. Does anyone know if that counts as water intake?

    I am under in the calorie intake. This was one of the days when I don't even miss the food. No extra cravings. It would be easier if every day was like that.

    I am pre-planning for chocolate tomorrow. Ahh.... can't wait!!! :happy:

    A couple days late, but I hope I can still join -- I'm needing some help with motivation. :) I have 53 pounds to go, but I'm going to work on 15 for the challenge.

    1. Add 2 cups of water more. Check.
    2. Unfortunately I am over calories today.
    3. The new exercise I will try at least once this week is jumping rope.

    15lbs by Aug would be a great start for me. I have never done a challenge before, so I am hoping this will motivate me to keep going.

    My results for today:

    Water: I didn't get in my 32 oz but that's ok. Will try again tomorrow!
    New exercise: Nothing new. I did my Insanity workout today!
    Calories: I'm under today! I'm at 4/7 for the week.

    I think I might like to join this challenge too. This summer I plan on loosing a lot of weight how much? Well I'm not sure but as much as possible...... What does that mean well I'd like to say 20 lbs. but I work out to much and take other supplements to gain muscle so for me I have noticed it's more about how I feel and how my clothes fit. Than it is about what the scale says my current weight is..


    If I joined this challenge it MAY help to keep me motivated and on the right track.

    Looking good everyone!

    I've been out of town for my mom's birthday and I always have a hard time figuring out how much I'm eating when I'm not the one cooking. I haven't been logging because of this, but I have still been trying to make health decisions.

    The new challenges will be up sometime tomorrow, to start Tuesday!

    Found a daily workout plan on someones pin interest so I decided to try it out. It only took 10 minutes and only burned 37 cals - but it will be great for strenghening. For Sunday I did 45 Jumping jacks, 15 squats, 5 jumping squats, 50 russian twists, 30 second plank, 10 standing calf raises, 5 kneeling push ups, 30 seconds superman, 10 lunges each leg and 40 crunches. Taking a break from cardio today.

    Still havent got the garage cleaned out, really windy here today, so not sure if I want to do that today either. Was a little over the calories yest, but not by much.

    I have days like that too. How long was your hike? Sometimes, if I go to long between "little" meals or I am dehydrated, I will have an uncontrollable hunger. The days that PMS is an issue can make it pretty nasty too!!

    Its a bank holiday weekend here, for me that means a night out drinking last night. (NOT GOOD!!) I will need to hit the exercise hard this week to make up for the weekend splurge. :D

    Did okay today even though we had a pot luck lunch after church. It was really difficult to enter the food. Hopefully I entered close enough.

    I had a late start, but I got my water in. Looking forward to weigh in on Tuesday. I don't know if I will have lost anything, because I am trying to get some muscle back, but I am definitely feeling better.

    Under calories - 1/5 Check
    Two extra cups of water - Check
    New exercise - I haven't jumped rope yet, because I haven't exercised while being away this weekend. I decided to also join the 24 hr challenge for June, so I'm pretty pumped about working out this week. :)


    Happy Monday, everyone!
