I dont understand how I gained a pound. I was under my calories everyday, and I exercised everyday. I dont get it. I was so excited to get on the scale to see how much I lost and now all I want to do is cry.

- Add 15 minutes of exercise to your current routine, but add in something you don't typically do
Jog in place for 15 min
7/10 only made it to 10 minutes today
7/11 only 10 minutes of jogging again
7/13 Made it to 15 minutes!!!!
7/14 15 minutes again!
7/15 15 minutes!

- Watch your sodium! Try to stay under the goal!
7/10 under sodium
7/11 under sodium
7/12 under sodium
7/15 under sodium

- Check In: How has the summer challenge been for you? Would you want to do another challenge after the summer is over?
The challenge has been great!! I am feeling better. I would love to do another challenge after this one is done!!

Good Morning! Weighing in this week at 141.5 so down .5lbs which I am perfectly happy with...a loss is a loss is a loss...I am so thankful for the people who put these challenges together. They can be difficult to keep up with sometimes, but the weekly check-ins make it much more manageable than the daily check-ins. I would certainly participate in future challenges like this, with sensible challenges that are achievable. Many thanks and best of luck to you all on your weightloss journey this week! :flowerforyou:

My Summer Challenge week 7 results:

Challenge SW 5/29: 158
Week 1 - 6/5: 157
Week 2 - 6/12: 155.5
Week 3 - 6/19: 153.5
Week 4 - 6/26: 152.5
Week 5 - 7/3: 151.5
Week 6 - 7/10: 150.5

Week 7 - 7/17: 149 (1.5 pounds down from last week! plus I broke through the 150 barrier!)

Challenge GW:143 (total 9 lbs. lost toward goal since start of challenge, 6 lbs. to go!)

week 6 additional challenges:
1) Addl 15 minutes per day to routine -- only managed 2 days of the extra 15 minutes.

2) Staying under on sodium -- did it 6 out of 7 days. Ate out at a buffet one evening, and managed to stay under on everything else by added exercise, but unfortunately no amount of exercise fixes being over on sodium. I did drink more water, so that helped, but was not able to successfully complete this challenge.

3) How has the Summer Challenge been for me? Fantastic! It has kept me on track during a time of year I would normally fail big time! And yes, I would definitely do another! Thank you for the entire Summer Challenge, and for the added weekly challenges. They have helped with my weight loss tremendously!

137 ugh! up 2 pounds after holidays. Really going to stay on track this week to lose it by next week!

Checking in at 168.4

I did pretty good with the sodium 6 days this week. I also did alot of cardio and went out and bought a bike so I can change up my routines some. Good job everyone.

Ugh ... total fail lately
This weeks weigh in : 213.8

198.4
Gained 2 lbs since my last weigh in a couple weeks ago. UGH. Guess that is what vacation will do to a person!

Back at it this week!

CW: 134.5 (gained)
Back from vacation... I did great the first half of the week and not so much the last half. Too much wine & beer tasting, plus yummy dinners! Time to get back on track!

And, yes I'm enjoying the challenges! I hope to get it in gear these last few weeks and get the scale moving in the right direction.
I hope you start another one this fall, thank you!

Good luck to all this week!

I weighed in this morning at 181.8! That means a loss of 1.2 pounds this week! So happy! I hope this keeps up!
