Summer Challenge

Checking in today at 142, no loss and no gain...which is great considering the holiday and the number of cookouts and beer I have consumed this week! I really enjoy this challenge as it keeps me accountable and I know I can stay committed to the challenges and updates, some challenges out there are a bit too much and I can't keep up with them on a day to day basis. Many thanks again for getting this group started!

I definitely want to do a fall challenge when we complete this one. I lose very slowly. I've been changing my bad habits every week. I've been increasing my exercise and have been making more and more home cooked meals. I'm gradually incorporating more healthier home cooked meals to so my family has time to adjust as well.

Thanks again for doing the spreadsheet. I had already forgotten where I started and while it's a little sad to see such a small loss overall I know this is not a race and in the end I will get where I want to be. A healthier me. I'm obsessed with my scale but I want to get my medical numbers down more importantly then my weight numbers. That's why I don't fret when I don't lose because I know I'm eating way better and bringing down those sugar and cholesterol numbers. :bigsmile:

Awesome! Very inspiring! Thanks.

Hi.
I just realized last night that I entered my weight into fitness pal, but I forgot to enter it on here. My weight for this week was 170.6. I went up a bit, but my size is still down and I am trying to get muscle back so I am not too concerned about it. My weight usually goes up before it drops anyway.

Hello everyone,

I just got back from a 1 1/2 weeks family vacation. I am scared to look at the scale right now - it's not going to be good this week. The water weight gain is going to be bad on its own. Then there is the endless days of eating out with my kids - fast food and amusement park food. We had a great time, but I feel like crap inside. "You are what you eat!" They don't really serve any fresh veggies at the park. Craving green veggies right now...

Me too! I am very scared to weigh as I know I probably went over my daily limit everyday, and I did not exercise as much as I wanted too--we will see tomorrow! I will start back on track today!!!

Weigh in day! Had an ok week....was away for the weekend and tried to be as good as possible but went over my calories.

But I weighed in at 151 so thats a 0.6lb loss I think - I'm happy with that :-)

Looking forward to the challenges and getting right back to it this week! Need to find my motivation again....I'm sure I left it around here somewhere.....**looks under the bed and behind the sofa**

Good luck everyone!! xxx

Well i'm still 112. I only lost 0.2 pounds this week. I don't know why though. Maybe now that i'm 112 pounds it makes it harder to lose weight, I really don't have too much to lose. I also started training for a marathon so it makes it even harder, (eating more, more muscle, and muscles holding on to more water) I think I should change my goal weight to 108. what do you guys think?

Still at 135
