Did you get your run in? Hubby and I put in over 16 miles this week! We're doing intervals right now, building up to a goal of doing 3 miles (nonstop) a day, 5 days a week. I try to run as long into fall/winter as I can because I just love being outside. We're up before the birds most days, but it's the best time of day in…

I'm not only packing all the food, but cooking and serving it! That will definitely help because I have lots of good stuff to pack -- grapes, carrots, and fresh peaches. Another big obstacle I have is eating out -- that's why I'm trying to avoid it at all costs right now.

YES!!!!!!

Great discussion subject! For me, right now, my obstacles are my kids and my husband. My 2 sons are 12 and 15 and they run cross country. They come home from practice and will spend the rest of the night eating. Not all at once, but at some point they'll have dinner, then dessert, then snacks, and drinks. My daughter does…

I badly need a weekend challenge! Especially this weekend because we are camping and that always means lots of sitting and drinking and eating. However I will plan to get in 2 long walks and limit the alcohol to 1 bottle of beer or wine cooler a day and pack more fruits and veggies than normal. I CAN do it! Good luck…

Yesterday I think I was hungry all day long. However, even though I did go over my calories by about 50, my extra food was in the form of fruits and veggies. Came home famished, knew I had an hour and a half until dinner, so I ate watermelon and a tomato. Beats the heck out of a bag of chips and a soda!

What a great thing to read! Thanks for sharing!

Happy August, everyone! I am ready for this challenge. So far, since getting serious about getting healthy again, I'm down 5 pounds. This challenge is what I need to keep that going, onward and downward! Today is a rest day for me officially, but hubby and I did a walk, about 2 miles. Now for meal planning and prep, and…

Info updated! Weighed in this morning over 5 pounds down so that's a great start already. Gotta keep going, though. Good luck to all of us!!!

We just hit cross country and marching band season in my house with 3 kids going in totally different directions so I totally feel your pain. We'll likely be doing more sandwiches in the car after the meets, and eating before we head to the band shows. I think my crockpot will be getting used a lot too. That's my biggest…

It's funny; usually just before I start a challenge I go hog wild -- eating everything in sight. Not so this time -- for the past 2 weeks I've been eating much better than usual, getting in plenty of exercise, and drinking plenty of water. I've had a few off days or meals, but for the most part, things are good. My biggest…

I agree with most everyone else here that are saying that you have to do what's right for you. If you're not a big breakfast eater, eat when it feels right. But if you find yourself starving at lunch time and over eating, you might want to consider something light earlier. I have been told that I must eat before I work out…

Looks great! Thanks for all your efforts!

Current Weight: 203.7 Overall Goal: 145 August Goal: 193 Other goals: run 5X a week, keep portions controlled, log food daily

Daisy, your stats are like mine -- been up and down the weight-loss roller coaster many times, but weighed in at 203.7 last Friday at a health analysis for my hubby's company and decided right then and there that it was time to get seriously motivated. I'm 45, with 3 kids and a hubby, we live in Indiana. I also run -- have…
