  • Good morning everyone!

    A new challenge for this month...Guess we should start on July 5 so everyone can get through July 4th

    Current weight:
    August Mini-goal: lbs to be lost
    and/or
    Non-scale goal: new routine, habit or other goal...i.e increase activity, take vitamins, make lunch everyday for work, etc.
  • Current weight: 171 lbs
    August Mini-goal: 4lbs
    and/or
    Non-scale goal: more exercise!
  • I wasn't quick enough to post my final update on the last challenge, but I passed my scale goal of 4lbs to lose 6 lbs in July. The back exercises completely fell apart though, after my back relapse.

    Current weight: 158
    August mini goal: 4 lbs
    non scale goal: daily back stretches (ideally twice a day)
  • Yeah, Mauv shut me out too. I think she closed it on Saturday, but I thought it was through the weekend. I'll post faster next time cause Mauv is one quick chicky

    At any rate, I met my goals for July. Yeah!!!

    Now for August. Let's see, my goal is to be able to fit into my red dress that I love so much and also to be able to buy and wear at least one size 8 item from a store that doesn't oversize it clothes to make consumers feel like they aren't bigger than what they are.

    Okay that's about it.

  • August Mini Goals

  • Well I was up .5 last week but have lost that I'll see what happens at weigh in tomorrow....
  • We won't discuss the first week of July. I'm blaming all the bad food choices on the 4th of July and my birthday. On a good note, I re-tried on a dress that I was thinking about buying last month. Then I needed a 12. I bought it yesterday in a size 10!

  • Hi all, new to this group - I will post a bio so I dont mess up this thread

    August Mini-goal: at least 3lbs to be lost by the 30th (I weigh on SAT am) been stuck at 242 for a month now, and really want to break 240.
    and/or
    Non-scale goal: to go on a 5 mile hike at least 1 time per week (so far so good) (I already get in 7 15 min walks a week doing chores around the property)
  • Geez August is almost here and I already know i am NOT going to meet my goals. I'm finishing the month off with the scales probably at the same place that they were in the beginning of the month. July is such a crazy month for me though. DD has two birthday parties in this month - I have my birthday party this month, 4th of July food, cheerleading, where does a chick fit in workouts and clean eating? I did cut back my normal routine of 5 meals a day down to only 3 since exercise has fallen off this month. I guess that's part of why I haven't gained any weight. I'll see what i can do with the last week of this month.
