Salad with whatever leftover meat is in the refrigerator.

Garrett, GO YOU! Good job on the run. You are more dedicated than I. I cannot run in that kind of heat. If I don't get out early enough before the temps are too high, then I run the treadmill. I'm with you on the goal weight ... I'm not going to make mine either. We'll just have to take what we get, right? You are making…

I'm kind of at a plateau now. I'm going to eat more and probably zigzag. I'm really pushing at the gym right now. I am considering taking a couple extra rest days next week.

Me too! But it's not from lack of logging or poor eating. I honestly don't think I could have changed anything in food or exercise. It's just the way it is this month. Eventually, these little tenth of a pound losses will add up and I'll get where I'd like to be. I'm too stubborn to throw in the towel but it does irritate…

Not just one person, really ... MFP friends who keep me accountable and my family who exercises with me.

We went to both a couple years ago. All four of my kids agree ... Typhoon Lagoon.

I have not idea with QOTD is. Check the DITR blog for the weigh in link:http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/DiamondsInTheRough Just scroll down a bit and you'll see a link for weigh in.

Garrett, you can do it! We're cheering you on here. Ally, way to go with the 2 lb loss! Maybe your body just needed the break.

Start weight: 122.2 July goal wt: 115 July 1: 122.2 July 8: 121.1 (-1.1) July 15: 121.0 (-.1) July 22: 120.9 (-.1) July 29: TBA (+/- previous week) Nothing too exciting for me again this week. However, no matter what the scale says, I know my body is changing. My clothes are getting looser. I'm just about ready to go down…

Where is everyone today? Difficult workout today and my abs are on fire. By tomorrow, I expect they'll be killing me. How was your workout?

Fitness and health. When I started this lifestyle change a couple years ago, I just wanted to lose weight. After several months, I realized that my migraines had all but disappeared and I had a lot more energy. During the winter months, I usually catch every virus that goes around and, for the past couple years, I haven't…

Yay, Garrett! You're doing so well with all those healthy changes! It's great to hear that you are feeling so positive about yourself now. Keep it up, girl! Wish you were closer so we could be running buddies. :)

Instead of everyday with weight training, we should do every other day. The rest days in between are really important. Just have to share.... I stopped running last semester because of time. I got back to it in May but I haven't been able to get back to what I was doing before (60 minutes, 7 miles) - or even close to it,…

Running, walking, strength training .... the same things as usual, just outside more.

Good job on those squats, Leela!

Awesome! You've had a successful day. You can do it again tomorrow! Way to hold steady! :)

I'm already part of the 20%. I went from size 10 to 2 from May to August 2009 and have kept it all off plus lost a few more. I'm back here to lose the last 15 for good. I didn't lose the first chunk by dieting but by establishing new habits that I hold today. I'm losing the last 15 by challenging myself further in the gym.

I'm glad you dropped in to let us know how you are doing. Sorry to hear about your family stress. I hope that settles down very soon. Congrats on your weight loss! And yay for no back pain! Come back when you can.

Yes! It boggles my mind that the same places that crank the heat up to 78 degrees in the winter, keep it at 62 degrees in the summer! What do you teach? Are you working towards an art degree? I assume that you are a grad student, too? I'm working on a master's in music theory/composition, specializing in Russian music…

Don't beat yourself up and don't feel guilty. It's not a deal breaker. You just found out that ice cream is not worth it right now and I bet it will be much easier to pass it up the next time around. Dust yourself off and move on. You've still go plenty of calories left for dinner tonight. I bet you won't even go over…

I had such a busy day yesterday that I didn't have time to check in. My school semester starts on August 22 and one of my professors sent 2(!!!) epic length mails with several hundred pages of reading, a couple sight-singing assignments and 2 lengthy counterpoint assignments ..... all due on the FIRST day of class.…

The sense of accomplishment .... knowing that I've lost all the weight I want/need to and moving forward. Suzzanne

Hi! How are you doing today? What's your plan for the week? How are you doing with challenges? Have you found a new fruit/veggie to try yet?

Garrett ... Congrats on the running and the pants size. Keep it up, girl! You're killing it!

Thanks for starting a new one, Leela! It should be much easier to keep up now. I've been keeping up with the challenges... More intense workouts - check! At least 40 squats a day (modified for more intensity) - check! Friday was my rest day and I spent most of it in the garden and doing yard work, loved it - check! No late…

I love the accessories at http://www.spibelt.com/spibelt.php. They have a water bottle like you posted and the belt/fanny packs. I have the SPIbelt and it is awesome. It looks tiny but it expands to hold quite a bit. It doesn't bounce or move around while I'm running. I love it. I've not used the water bottle but the…

CONGRATS! That's terrific! At the rate you're going, you might hit your 133 goal before the end of the month. Exciting!

Start weight: 122.2 July goal wt: 115 July 1: 122.2 July 8: 121.1 (-1.1) July 15: 121.0 (-.1) July 22: TBA (+/- previous week) July 29: TBA (+/- previous week) Insignificant change for me this week. That's okay, though. It's TOM for me and that usually makes anywhere from 2-5 lbs gain. I'm looking forward to a bigger…

Sounds good! If anyone has any ideas about new fruits and vegetables, please post them. I've eaten everything from kumquats to cactus and I'm not sure I can find anything new. You might be able to help me think of something.

Challenges - 7/13 1200/day .... under Recipes.... posted a couple, will look for another for tomorrow 317/360 exercise minutes 300/500 crunches
