Ok, back on track. This was a good week. I stayed in the green all week and accomplished the fitness goals. It paid off with a 2 pound loss!

Swimming and my boot camp group. Our trainer is awesome! I want to try more Zumba but I have to work on it to build up the cardio endurance. I can do it but I really struggle toward the end of the class.

Going dancing and having a really hot guy ask me to dance! Ditto to all of the above responses! Also, maybe getting up the nerve to try match.com

Still tough time staying in the green given the last days of vacation. I still meet my exercise goals, thankfully! New week, new mind set to stay in the green.

I was on vacation this week in Maine. It was beautiful. I managed the exercise goals, swimming, walking and no I didn't count shopping! I had a tough time staying in the green for the whole week. I need to get back in the green this week.

Hey Melissa, you have nailed it! I am my own worse enemy. Food is my go to choice whenever things get stressful. I am making better choices everyday and then BAM! A wrench is thrown into the plan and I run to what I know best...food and not the healthy good for my body food, no the junk food. I find this is especially true…

Welcome aboard! This is a great group!

I would also like to lose 50 pounds by the end of the year. I would also like to wear a slammin' new outfit to go swing dancing.

Welcome everyone. Let's push it for another week. I just walked to the local farmer's market. It is rather hot here in New England so it is always a challenge for me to exercise outdoors. I swam in the gym pool this am and have a training session ( outdoors) this afternoon. Ok I was secretly hoping he would cancel. But I…

Way to go Melissa! It was so nice to see the scale drop this week. Yes, I made the 6 out of 7 green food days and the exercise goals as well. Our trainer is great, just don't ever tell him (lol). Let's keep it going! Good luck everyone.

Welcome Onlineslimme and Aweltha. Do you guys have shorter nicknames? My typing sucks (lol). I am with you. I didn't think I would be comfortable talking about weight loss and my feelings online, but this has been a very supportive and friendly group. I look forward to writing things down in the MFP tracker and then…

Keep up the good work Melissa! I love these moments when things start to click. The trainer has made a tremendous difference. It is worth the money. I figure what I have spent on eating out more than makes up for the cost of the training. I am also doing it in a small group with friends, so we can share the cost. I am…

Ok the week is starting off well. Good luck to everyone this week.

Yeah, where is everyone? It has been a good week. I managed 6 out of 7days for staying in the green and 255 minutes of exercise. Oh, how I wish we could keep summer all year long. It is so nice going to the local farmer's market and getting fresh vegetables and fruit and having the time to prepare meals.

Thanks Melissa! I am going to stay in the green this week. Up tomorrow at 6 am with the trainer. I hate mornings! It was so nice to swim today in the late morning. Tomorrow is a work day so I have to start early. Come on everybody we can do this!

Ok, so I did not earn the flower bonus this week. :cry: Yes to the exercise challenge. :smile: I really need to focus on my eating plan and portion control. I hope everyone had a good week.

Thank you Melissa :wink: I worked hard for that bonus flower! If I can't have a hot fudge sundae then I want flowers even if they are only cyber flowers...lol! I have turned to swimming laps and water aerobics because it is so darn hot. 95*for us New Englanders is too much. I have lapped 138 minutes of pool workouts and it…

Hey, I got my exercise and 6 out of 7 green days! I want my bonus flower...lol!

Don't give up on yourself. We all hit that wall. It seems like an unending battle. It's hard for me to imagine what it would really be like to lose all the weight I need to lose. Having this group and great supportive friends helps. I am learning that when things in life take a turn for the worse, I turn to food, but in…

Good for you Melissa. Just wait until the trainer has you flipping those tires over during training. You go power woman!

Finally, finally a weight lose. I was able to stay in the green 6 out of 7 days. I managed to keep up the exercise despite the heat! Whooo hoooo!

Hang in there Melissa! It gets easier as you keep up the exercise. Go and work out even if the trainer cancels. This week has been better. I have manged to stay in the green all but 1 day. I hope it pays off tomorrow. Take care everyone!

Looking forward to it. I have boot camp tomorrow at 6 am. I'm a zombie at 6 am, but it is over for the day.

Hi everyone From Boston,MA

Thanks Melissa! I know my friend keeps telling me the same thing about making better food choices. I am working out so hard and yet I am not making as much of an effort to stay on track with better eating. I get so frustrated with myself. I will make the challenge this week. I understand about the trainer. My first session…

Welcome to all the new folks! Ok I finished with 220 minutes of exercise this week. I didn't make the green everyday this week. I hope Lisa you will keep that goal in as part of the challenge. I really need that boast. Any motivation or suggestions are most welcomed. Good luck everyone!

Great! Thanks for adding the food tracking goal. We decided to go for an outdoor boot camp workout. What was I thinking? It was 85* hot and humid.

Ok, I was able to get the 180 minutes of training completed. Boy, did I need to get back in the swing of things. I need to focus on my food tracking. Lisa could we make that part of the challenge for this week? This has been very challenging for me these past 2weeks. Hey, Lisa, how did it go with the trainer? Thanks

Hi Everyone, I have been on vacation to Myrtle Beach this past week. I also had a wedding when I got back and drove like a mad woman to get back to in time (16 hours not counting traffic). It had been a roller coaster at work as well the week before. Anyway, all excuses behind me and now to start at the gym today. I hope…

Welcome aboard! Congrats! That is a great accomplishment. It is always inspiring to see folks working toward their goals. Looking forward to getting to know you.
