Hi guys! Here's our numbers, as promised, as of today: Only about half of the participants have checked in this week, but look at us go! One month left and I know we can ROCK this! I had another hard time with food over camping this past weekend but my accountability partner DID remember to check in and I DID immediately…

Hi all, checking in after a rough 10 days of complete idiocy in my food choices. I allowed myself back to my old habits, even knowing I was undoing so much hard work. It all started with my mom visiting from across the country, then birthday celebrations, dinners out, and me just deciding not to care for 6 more days. I'm…

@Teerai Congrats- you are doing so well! I also love that your data points follow the edges of the cloud. :smile: I second your advice on a food scale. I weigh just about everything! (can be tedious, but you can't argue with accuracy working!) @mom2pnc1 Hi! Welcome! Glad you're here. Sorry to hear about your setbacks but…

Secondly- what should the mini-goal be for next week? Here are some ideas (random, I know) -Burn a specific amount of calories (individually determined) -Prayer/meditation- set aside some quiet time every day -Meal plan (can be loosely done) but just to have a plan for all food and try to avoid surprises -Floss every…

PHEW!!! I caught up! That was a lot of data to input- thanks a million everyone for your patience with me! I'm sitting here while my husband's golfing with the kids and you should hear me ooh and aah and "YEAH!" audibly over everyone's accomplishments! Very proud of this group. These are the stats for our challenge through…

Hi everyone!!! I'm back from vacation in the wilderness (with absolutely zero cell service!) It was a refreshing time away with no technology (or counting calories). I have a lot of catching up to do on this thread and getting the summer slimdown stats updated- hope you'll all forgive my absence and neglect this past 12…

@jogetsgains Weigh when you want to, it's totally fine!!! I just mentioned how it affects the numbers in case anyone got discouraged by them! This is your journey- you do you! Please keep checking in just to say how you're doing, though (and if you want to go for the weekly mini-challenges!). The bigger the support system,…

We are heading out on our biggest camping adventure to date this Thursday! I am excited and trepidatious at the same time. My youngest is 4.5 and as of yet, we've kept our travel distances to 6 or so hours and a max of a week. This time we are traveling down to Tennessee from Michigan and going to be gone 11 days! Needless…

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend.

@skinnyjeanzbound The challenge focus for this week is to increase your steps (or if you don't track steps, up your movement in whatever way works for you.)

Hi everyone!! I don't have much time this morning, but I did want to say to all the newcomers- we're glad you're here! There's nothing special required to "join." We're just a group of people with common goals to lose a bunch of weight and we "meet" here in this thread for support. Every so often we start up a challenge,…

I have been so busy lately I haven't been the best at chatting on this thread- so sorry! But welcome to all the newcomers! Please make yourself at home. :) There are suggestions on the first page of this thread of ideas of things to talk about- but there's no hard and fast rule- just keep chatting- you're among friends and…

Okee doke, folks- here's the numbers I have so far for the week! Hopefully more peeps will check in and we can get that percentage raised! Of the check-ins so far this week- a majority met the weekly goal of positive self talk! Way to go and keep that up everyone! You are worth this!!! For this week- my sincere apologies…

OH! I forgot next week's challenge! Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hahahaha, apparently you can't say corn / hole. Which, we call it bean bags normally anyhow. This is cracking me up

Happy Monday! Great job so far everyone!! Had a busy weekend, about to hop on my bike with the kids and head to the library summer reading program kickoff. (It's not a short trip- this will be a good workout!) Participated in an epic *kitten* competition yesterday and I am so sore from it- hope I make it to the library and…

Happy Monday, folks! How was everyone's weekend? I was busy, busy, busy as usual, but managed to rein in the eating by tracking better and I had a decent loss this week despite last week's holiday food fest. Here's who I have so far for our S^3 challenge- me, @arschrock @DebCountsAll @happygirlxxx @SammyKlingler Hoping…
