  • What successes did you have in June? What are you looking forward to accomplishing in July?

    I want to start up my 10K training program again and remain binge free in July.
  • Shay - WOW! 90 days!!! I remember when you were in the single digits. I'm so proud of you!! Training for a 10K sounds like a wonderful goal for July. A friend of mine is pushing me to do some racing. I'm curious to see how you enjoy the training program!

    June successes: I finally made it into the 160's. I haven't been this low in about 10 years. My exercise is really changing the shape of my body, and I like that. Exercise is really becoming just "part of my day" and not a method of torture I must endure. I made progress cutting back on alcohol.

    July goals: I got freaked when I hit the 160's. Afraid I couldn't lose any more. Afraid I can't maintain this weight. I need to let go of my fear and just take one day at a time. I also want to spend more time on how I look. I rarely "do" my hair and makeup, which is a shame because I feel so much better when I do vs. when I don't. Continue with exercise regimen and alcohol avoidance.

    I'm SO THANKFUL for our little group!!
  • If I could lose 5 pounds this month I would be jumping for joy!!!
  • My goal for July is to make a commitment to myself. Eat on program and exercise . Goal is 5 lbs I don't know my start weight I am afraid of the scale right now. I will weigh in on July 8 as my start.
  • I'm going to join this challenge. I believe my challenge is going to be to drop 4 pounds (132), go jogging in the morning before work, and eat more on plan. I want to make sure i am getting enough fruits and veggies and all my water. I also want to start the 100 Push Up Challenge in the excersize section. My boyfriend and i will start it together next week. I am looking forward to July. My life should start calming down once the bf gets moved in this weekend.
  • Girls - sorry it took me so long to get in here today!

    June Success: Lost #4.4, Stayed on Plan 13 days in a row (and counting) Got Joe (BF) to go on walk with me - and he's saying it's going to be a weekly thing!

    July Goals: Continue on Plan, #6.1 loss (will put me at 1/2 way to goal AND My MP3 Player!), work out 6 days a week, Be able to do 100 *real* pushups in a row - as laid out on website. , Drop back into my 14s more comfortably!

    Weight for start of July - #191.6 ( ALMOST #180's!!!)
    Day 1 - 1366 cals, 15 min "kidercise", 30 mins cardio.

    Shay ~ YOU ROCK OUT LOUD! 90 Days is INCREDIBLE!

    GG ~ Stick with it - and you can make the #5 this month!

    Karyn ~ Sticking to plan is tough - but you CAN do it!

    Lumi ~ to our little group! NOw I have another place to keep an eye on you!!!
  • Welcome Lumi!! WOW! Only 6 pounds from goal. That's GREAT!! So where do you and Enygirl know each other from?? I'm so glad you joined our little group.

    Karyn - I laughed when I read your post. I'm steering clear of my scale for a while, too. A month at the same weight and I'm ready to hit it with a hammer! I've NEVER lost 5 pounds in a month. But . . . I figure the scale is into me for at least 3 pounds I should have lost last month. lol!

    Regarding the pushup challenge. I did 12 man pushups yesterday! I'm going to have to print off the challenge and see what it entails.

    Hope everybody has a great day!
  • I'm doing girly ones GG - with my knees on the floor and ankles crossed. I might go back after I build up the strength and do the plank ones - but right now I can't even do one!

    Lumi and I are in pretty much every challenge together... and It's my job to keep on her to reach her Christmas goal! RIGHT LUMI! YOU CAN AND WILL BUST A MOVE AND DO IT!

    I had to drop out of the numbers challenge. I'm getting WAY too over whelmed with challenges that I'm doing - so I'm sticking to the bootcamp one for my exercise challenge. Sorry GG! Nothing against you - HONEST!

    Alright - here's to day #15 and still on track! I have to say - THIS FEELS GOOD!
  • Day 1 is looking good so far. I went grocery shopping filled the house full of better choices. I am going to do yoga tonight to calm my busy mind and I am going to send all the pop tarts that I bought with DH to work ( they have been my binge item the last week or so).

    gg- 12 MAN push ups, YOU ROCK

    Enygirl- 15 Days keep at it!!
  • Eny--Thanks! It was a bit questionable if I would make it through a few days but I did. On to the next 90!

    gg & Karyn--If it wasn't for the "Just Beachy" challenge I would be far away from the scale. It can get quite obsessive with me.

    Karyn--I need to go shopping myself. I will work on my list tonight.

    Can't make up my mind about the push up challenge.
  • Shay - try the initial test and see how you feel. I knew that if I could do 7 girly ones then i could DEFINATELY stick to this program. Also it's nice to have the min break between each rep.
  • alright so i had an oppertunity to poke my head in before i move on Friday. i lost 3 pounds and 1 inch. for July i would like to lose another 3-5 pounds.
  • Eny--I will take a look at the website. I can do both kinds of pushups. Planks and girlie. 100 just seems like a lot.

    mrsaugie--Congrats on the losses!
