July Challange

Ok ladies the new month starts tomorrow. I think we should switch weigh-in back to Mondays to motivate us not to "cheat" on the weekends. So Monday post your current weight, goal weight, and if you'd like any personal goals for the month.
I think it would be easiest to copy/paste this form and "edit" it each week

Goals for this month: go out riding on my bike (which is the exercise I find easiest) at least 2, hopefully 3 times a week.
Get to the gym twice a week.
Dig out my exercise bike from the basement and use it!
Stretch my heel spur so that someday it hopefully goes away and I can go back to walking & Zumba.
And, stay within my 1470 daily calorie goal.0 -

Hello all!!
I am back after my 7 day all inclusive vacation! I admit I really did just let myself relax but after all my target had been to loose 40 pounds for the holiday which I managed to do!!
I left for hol on 23rd June and was : 173 pounds
When I got back on 1st July I was : 181 pounds!!! (I was horrified!!)
However I'm back to 177 today so I'm guessing a lot of the weight may have been water retention!
The amazing thing was that while I was on holiday my best friends boyfriend proposed on their balcony (I blame at least 2 pound gain to te champagne we drank with them to celebrate!!!). She has asked me to be maid of honour which means I now have a new target!!! She and the other two bridesmaids are 100 - 140 pounds so very slim!! They are all 5 ft 4 tho so I am goin to use the tall card and set my new target at 147!!
Anyway end of babble! My new target for end of July is to be 12.1 :-)0 -
Koolmart - you definitely deserve a new workout outfit. When I feel shlumpy in my workout clothes, I think the shame/embarrassment drains energy out of me.
Beckyme - congrats on having a new maid of honour goal! You can do it!0 -
Oh goodness! I'm already a week behind you ladies. I need to stay in touch better.
CW: as of today (Sunday, July 8), I'm 150.2

Personal goal(s): To stick with adding in weight training on my cardio days (4 days a week) and keep walking or biking on other 2-3 days that I don't do my toning work. Seems to be helping me out a TON with losing weight faster and toning me up in the process.
And I need to cut out the bad carbs all together (even if I'm not having them often) and stick with just fruit for when I'm craving something sweet. 0 -

CW - 157.2
GW for the end of the month - 153
Personal goals I want to achieve for the month are just the creation of healthy habits again so drinking 2 litres of water per day (ideally 2.5 litres), eating 5 pieces of veg/fruit per day and exercising 3 times per week.0 -
I work in kilos but I'll try find a conversion on the web for the benefit of those on the other side of the pond:
Anything under 73kg (161lb) would be AMAZING at the end of the month, but I would be happy with 74 (163lb).
07/09: 76.3kg (168 lb)

And, stay within my 1470 daily calorie goal.
What I have accomplished so far mid-way through July: a few long bike rides outside. And some stretching of my heel spur.
July Fails: I did not get to the gym yet at all this month; I have not dug out my basement exercise eqipment, and at least 4 days of the week I am not staying within my calorie goal.
Also I did not stretch enough.
But, even though I haven't lost a pound yet this month, my pants are a little less tight and I feel more fit; as if I am standing up straighter. So I think I'm making progress, it's just measured in ounces right now instead of pounds.0 -
Lisaslim - that's what dieting has been like for me ever since I turned 40. I feel your pain.0

Personal Goals for last week met!, Personal goals for this week:
- Stick to my calorie allowance
- Get to the gym at least 3 x
- Get to one yoga/pilates session
*I haven't lost 6lbs in a week! 07/09 weigh in was from the Wednesday before as that's my weigh in day and I thought weighing in again only a few days later would put me on a downer. So, it's 6lbs in 2 weeks. I'll keep my weigh in day as Wednesday and just post after everyone else.0 -
you're building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat but takes up less space, hence the loose pants. it's working! keep at it!0
