Well, i'm still pretty new here, but a setting a monthly goal seems like just the thing i need. i haven't been doing much of anything lately, so i'm going to come out the gate and start with a loss of 10lbs for the month. i'm back up at 207 last time i weighed, which was this past weekend. 10lbs sounds a bit ambitious, but i feel like i really need to get this ball rolling. we'll see how it goes...
Hey all. In the interest of self-motivation my goals for August are to lose 8 pounds and to increase the cardio exercise to 10% more than I managed in July. Which makes it minutes = 922, miles = 26, calories burned = 10407.

Reason: updating goals
Elegant Departure I am sure it was just a fluke/water weight. I showed 198 the past two mornings, but I know it is just TOM. Can't wait for this to be over BLeeeehhhh.
Today has not been that great eating wise, had cheese for lunch, darn stuff!! Im off to the gym tonight for an hour, i have a nice light supper planned fish and salad, so hopefully this will get me back into it!
It's good to see so many new people here- and so many of you from the July challenge. I'm going to make 8 lbs. my goal for the month. That would bring me down to a weight I haven't been since, let's see... 1996? I am so psyched!
So I guess today is my official weigh in, it being August 1st and all. I'm at 143, meaning i'm going to make my goal for this month 8. And NEXT month will only be 7. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat, and took medecine in hopes I could fight it. WELL this morning I feel even more sore in the throat. I'm hoping that my healthy eating/exercising help in the fighting of germs. If i'm sick for my vacation i'll be very upset!
Hey ladies! It's the first of the month and we're on to August! I weighed in this morning and I am at 117.5....half a pound shy of my July goal! I'll take it!I have been totally slacking exercise wise and am feeling down a little and I bet it's because my body got used to the high of working out.
It's going to be a hectic first two weeks of August for me so I don't know how much of a dent I'm going to make in my 5 pound goal but here's to at least maintaining! My mother in law will be leaving us for India come this weekend and I don't know what the kids and I are going to do without her. To boot my husband is going to accompany her so we're going to be here all alone. I"m nervous, it's the first time I'll have the children to myself longer than 2 days (without hubster).
I will try to squeeze in exercise here and there....at least yoga....and stay on plan and drink plenty of water!
Welcome to all the newbies. This is a great place to stay on plan....keep posting...keep working...the weight will come off!
I agree with Mary...it is nice to put a face to a name!
I'm going to have to figure out the whole avatar thing!
It's going to be a fruit smoothie and salad for dinner for me tonight.....splurged on popcorn at the show today....it's a good thing I'm not very hungry!
