Hello. I am Tami. I am excited to join this challenge as I have been missing the accountability and support so crucial for success when trying to make and maintain healthy habits. I am good on the exercise part, but I want to improve my eating.

I'm in! I'd like to lose 10-12 pounds and am determined to improve my diet.

Perfect timing! I would love to join!

I will add forgiveness and compassion for family members who remain stuck in a pattern of abuse and self-destruction. I will also practice self-compassion. I will strive to give up unrealistic ideas of "fixing" or healing anyone's heart but my own. I will add daily reflection and prayer and take responsibility for my…

Will there be a group to join tomorrow to be included?

Count me in! I need a little motivation to get through the next 8 weeks! It would be so awesome to be slim at Christmas and at goal weight at the beginning of 2016!

I also have been MIA but have been working on weight loss over past 9 weeks SW: 159 Cw: 146

5 things I'd like to accomplish today: 1) grocery shop for healthy food 2) work-out 3) have some time with Mark 4) Read at least one chapter of Half Time 5) complete phone calls for work:smile:

Congratulations, Martino78 and great overall progress for the group! Wisning everyone a great week filled with good healthy choices!

I have done several and helped out with one that was in conjunction with a Run For God program at a local church. The experience was fun. Met lots of people of various ages and levels of fitness and enjoyed the faith-based and educational aspects of the program as well as the camaraderie of the participants. I personally…

Starting weight: 154 Goal weight by next week: 151 Goal weight by Christmas: 132 Okay, I am determined to stick with this challenge one day at a time with the weekly weigh-ins, better food choices, regular exercise, and a positive attitude. Can't wait to see what this group can accomplish by Christmas when with…

Looking forward to joining you on this journey. Fitting back into my clothes, improving my health, and losing the extra weight will be a great Christmas gift and great way to start the new year ahead!

My goal is 24 pounds, which will get me back to my healthy goal weight

PW (last weigh-in): 152 CW: 151.8 Not much, but came close to goal of 150 from 158. Let the journey continue! Good luck everyone, and thanks, Pam!:smile:

PW: 150 CW: 152 Not surprising....had family in town visiting and ended up eating out and drinking wine at least one meal/day and didn't get to the gym as routine was disrupted during the 4 day visit. Will get back on track today in hopes of getting back to my original goal of 150 by next weigh-in. Good luck to everyone…

Keeping you in prayer for a good doctor report this week.

Thanks, Pam! I am impressed that you are going strong with such a full plate with moving, etc.! Swimming and yoga are both outside my comfort zone, so I will commit to swim laps at least once this week and do at least 1 yoga video tape session. One of my favorite breakfasts is an egg white omelette:drinker: :drinker:…

You are a true inspiration! Congrats!

PW: 152.5 CW: 150 This challenge is working and kicking my behind in gear!!!! Thanks everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying this challenge as much as I am. We will all be fitter and stronger!!

I don't know if I'll be able to amp up the calorie burn more than I did this past week! (LOL). I am challenging myself to do 2 workouts/day. Usually, the evening workout is walking the dog or power walking with a friend and the morning workout typically occurs at the gym. Push-ups are difficult due to shoulder issues, but…

SW: 157.5 CW: 152.5 I am pleased that I finally lost a few pounds after trying so hard all summer. I think that the water consumption, logging, and crunches helped me, especially logging even when I didn't want to. Ready for this next week's challenge, and it will be a challenge as I will be on a 4-night, 3-day camping…

Good morning, Hope everyone is having a good week. Hard to believe the first weigh-in is tomorrow. Good day yesterday. Met all goals. Got up a bit late this morning, but managed to get to a spinning class and do my crunches before work. I plan to actually bring my lunch to the office today so that I am not tempted to scoot…

I agree that weekends are hard!! Didn't expect to fall off track on a Monday night, but my daughter (a new Freshman in college) invited me to a concert and we didn't have a chance to get something to eat until late, and I was very hungry by that point and parking was terrible, so we ended up at Mellow Mushroom and I caved…

Did okay today. Exercised, drank plenty of water, and did my crunches. Ate a bit too much in the evening, however. Need to do better at going to sleep when tired instead of late night mindless snacking! Hope everyone had a good weekend and that the rest of the first week goes great.

08/24/13 Okay, for some unknown reason I did NOT get much sleep last night...seemed like I tossed and turned and checked the clock every hour although I wasn't worrying about anything. Anyway, at 4:30 a.m. I decided to put off my 5:30 spinning class. Still couldn't go back to sleep, but I did get up around 7 and made it to…
