I am so up for this challange!!
I just registered today....and am very excited about joining!
I have been consistantly loosing 5lbs every month since Jan.....but fell short of that in June....so this is the perfect place for me. It really is amazing how much accountabilty and support can make a difference!
My goal for July is 8lb (to make up for my shortfall last month)
I am going to do at least 4 cardio workouts a week and at least 3 strength training.
Good luck to everyone in this challenge!
Hope you all having a great day. I have been at it all day cleaning and grocery shopping again! Glad that is over with, the market was a zoo! Everyone is shopping for the holiday. Time to kick back and relax a bit.
Prepieblonde, Scalewarfare, and Dea, welcome!
Lekhika, thanks : ) It's a nice day here too, the heatwave and muggy weather is over and it's a beautiful dry sunny day and just perfect for an outdoor walk (which is my favorite). I'll see what happens later, right now I am tuckered! Just wondering, with the saline flush, does it only happen once? (30 minutes to an hour later) so then you are pretty safe? ANyways girl, thanks again for your reply and hope you have a super day and enjoy the great outdoors! : )
pigginpodgey, congrats on the 5lb.loss last month and on meeting your goal! keep up the good work.
scalewarfare, congratulationss on the loss : ) SInce I have been here, I have seen nothing but great results from everyone on the South beach diet. Your doing super, keep on truckin' and keep us posted
Dea, and to our July thread congratulations as well on your loss thus far, that is wonderful! Those 5 lbs. per month sure do add up! Nice to have you aboard.
well, I guess I should move my tail again, the more I do today, the less I have to do tomorrow! I don't like doing things at the last minute and prefer to save the cooking and details for the day of the company, I am in pretty good shape but want to do a few more things. Dh has wed. off, so everything will be nice and all set for the holiday as well. Catch you all soon : )
I just finished a workout that totally exhausted yet pumped me up! Funny how that works...I totally felt in the zone as I kicked up my interval training to 30 seconds of fast running and 30 seconds of moderate walking....I flew through my work out and would up going 5.16 miles! IT's an all time best for me in an hour...so I'm super excited!!
Plus I do about 20-30 minute sessions of yoga every morning and evening and I got in my workout and the kiddos even joined in for downward facing dog....well..they actually played limbo dance under me while I did downward facing dog....but it rocked.
Now the kids are playing in the tub and I'm typing in this (I feel) rather proud day for me!
I can't wait for all of us to meet our goals this month. Me...I'm going to work extra hard to meet my 8 pound goal this month....
Um Full Steam Ahead...I've had days where I need to be near a toilet for what seems like all day..while other days it's woosh....no way of telling which day it will be...
Hi I'm ready for new challenge too! I didn't make my June goal. I'll try for five pounds in July. I'm trying to stick with it. I'm going to increase my exercise. Flow
LEKHIKA, it's great to be close but the closer I get the more I want. I found a pic a while back of me and a cousin and I was 175 and the closer I get to that the more I realize I'll never look like that again. I was a high school senior in that picture and my body has matured much more since then. Hips and breasts for days. In order for me to have a healthy BMI I need to get down to 150 but as I said before I'm from the SOUTH and that is wayyyy to small for me. 165 looks like it's going to be my ultimate goal and that's just to sastify the health meter.
I was down to 183 this morning, I had 2 guys wanting to take me out on Sat. night, and 2 others wanting to come by my house and visit me. I went to the movies with one and had a GREAT time!!!
Jusj - look at you miss popular!! Nothing like some guy attention to put a spring in your step, enjoy!!
I feel the same, my goal is also 165lbs i just dont think i am destined to be small i would just love to be a UK size 12-14 a " normal" size im currently a 16-18.
Im having a great day today, eating is going well, have pre ordered my meal at the restaurant im going too for lunch, have made plans to go to the gym and swimming with my mum tonight-had a lovely evening with sexy scottish man last night! So all is good with me!!!
Well I am in shock today. I am just now trying to work in some cardio during the day. But thats only when since Saturday. Mainly I have just been watching what I eat and keeping my calories within the 1400-1500 range. So I today I was in town and decided to weigh myself where I always weigh myself (man I need to buy a scale). And it said I dropped another pound since Friday. And I can feel and see the difference in my clothes. Today I wore a t-shirt I bought 8 mths ago that was tight on me in the belly area 2 mths ago. Well it is no longer tight in that area. It fits right. Plus I don't have as much of a belly hanging over the band of my jeans. But I can't believe it a whole 1lb is gone. Ten lbs gone like that.
Hey everyone. Count me in, please! I need all the support I can get. I will introduce myself later when I have more time but I don't want to wait too long to state my JULY GOAL!
8 Pounds! Which is goning to be tough for this Pre-menopausal chick!
NSV - The jeans that are in the back of my truck. I put them on one day, couldn't button them, drove to the store with my pants unbuttoned, bought the next size up, wore the new jeans out of the store and threw the offensive jeans in my trunk. I haven't tried them on since April
Kind of in a rush so no time for personals. WI today: down 2.6 lbs....with TOM! Went to the gym last night for the first time in three months. Great but sore. Got a call today for a job interview Thursday. Got my report card yesterday, A in one class, C in the other. Hope you all have a kickass July 4th!
Went to the gym last night and tried this new class called BodyJam. It's basically dance aerobics. We had to take the class in the aerobics room with all the mirrors and windows! I felt so humiliated. I wanted to run away. I am so out of touch with my body which was the reason I wanted to take the class anyway. My self conciousness almost killed me but I'm going back. I took dance in high school and was just as self concious but it got easier over time.
Hi, guys. I'm in, too. I'm committing to 7 pounds (even numbers are kinda boring...).
I can so relate to getting bloated in the summer. I feel like every little ounce of water in the air goes right under my skin. I've never been able to lose weight in the summer--- could this time be... different?
Jasonslea - totally feel your humilation, stupid mirrors everywhere!! I used to love going to aerobics classes, until they moved them into a room lined with mirrors i cant bear to go now, im so paranoid!! So im really impressed with your intention to kep going, you go for it!!!!
Having a bit of a speed wobble type day, i do have a tendency to be a little over analytical and a bit crazy, but this morning i even surprised myself. I saw a picture of my new scottish mans ex girlfriend, eeeeeek huge speed wobble!!! She is really slim and very pretty, and I just kept thinking gosh what is he doing with me?!? When im with him he makes me feel like the most beautiful person, it when he isnt with me that i get the odd speed wobble. I hate being paranoid and a little crazy, do you think these odd jealous paranoid phases will go as i get smaller, or will be just part of me forever?!?! Sheesh i hope not!!!!!!
Oh that feels better to rant ladies!! Thank you!!
keep up the good work.
and to our July thread 
everyone! 
to all the newbies!
