Hi all!!!

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.

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.

Shaaaari I missed you! Glad you are back :)

Good luck with your goals everyone!

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!

I want to join in! My goal is to lose 10 lbs and to exercise at least 4 days each week.

Hi everyone-

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!

piggin what's wrong with cheese? I eat it all the time *blush* LOL

Way to go Judi! That's great! Excellent work.

Elegant Departure you are getting so close to goal! How exciting. Hope you manage to stay in good health for your vacation.

And Lekhika! How pretty are you! Glad to finally have a face to put with the name! Gorgeous gal! You'll do fine with the kids! Don't stress :)

*blush*
aw thanks Mary! I dig your new snap!

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!

Hey all! I'm leaving for a month long trip to Europe on the 14th so I wouldn't be able to keep my regular routine for the whole month.

My goal before I leave is to reach the 160s. I hope by keeping active I will be able to maintain that weight when I'm away.

Good luck to everyone this month!

Have fun! When we went to Europe (england and ireland) for 2 weeks I lost weight, course that was a few years ago and I gained it all back right away.

Good luck

Hi, I hoep you don't mind me joining in. My goal is for a 7 pound loss. I hope to do that by walking and keeping my mouth shut :)

LOL Welcome DewCam!
