Everyone is doing amazing!!

i lost another 2.2lbs of water, I sure do retain alot!
walked for 30min in pouring rain, calories are 1252. Had fruit salad w/ lunch, it was so good! Weight loss will go slower now, I'm sure the rest is fat. 6lbs to go!

hi all. Down 2 pounds this week, but I'm not sure it was "real." I guess maybe I'll find out on Monday!

PHAT- hope you see that woosh soon!

Walked 30min & had 1307 calories. Went over by only 100, ate two really delicious white nectarines, delicious! Down another half a pound, It's slowing down, but at least it's down.

I have reached my c25k goal. I still need to lose 8.6lbs to reach my weight goal...not sure if that is going to happen, but I am going to keep on trying and see how close I can get!

Hi! I'm just starting this challenge even thought its already halfway through June! I started my dieting a week ago though and have already lost 5 pounds!! So I guess my overall goal for the fourth of july would be between 8-10 pounds including the 5 pounds I have already lost! I exercise at the gym for an hour everday, along with eating around or a little below 1400 calories! Wish me luck!

Good morning Ladies,
I've been out but not down. I'm still on plan and I'm sure I have lost at least two more pounds. I've kept my calories below 1300 everyday since I last posted. I'm so looking forward to seeing where I am at the end of this challenge.

P H A T - Congratulations on the J O B Now you can really focus on yourself.
Ekicna - That's pretty cool. I'm close to being smaller than I was in College which was about 27 years ago. So I know how you feel!! Happy Dance!!
Laughing - If you are leaving your job because of how it affects you then you will find the stress is not as bad. You will actually be less stressed and better able to focus. Been there done that!!
JD - Stay the course it will get better and the pounds will come off!!
Fruitlady - You are down almost three pounds in a couple days and even if it is water weight it's a loss nevertheless!!
Fit - Nothing like seeing a loss to motivate you...I love it! Keep up the good work.
Corrine - Do the dog on thang!!! That's really cool in the midst of a vacation and TOM!!! I'm near jealous.
Ann - If you have loss then count it as a loss. Each day brings it's own surprises so celebrate what each day brings. YAY 2LBS!!!
Envelope - Congrats on reaching your C25k goal. Keep getting it in. Even if you don't reach your goal in pounds you have made an accomplishment!!
ClaireBear - Jump in and have some fun!!

I'm jumping in because I could use the extra motivation!

My goal for July 4th is 134. With two weeks left, I have 2.4 lbs to go. Maybe I'll even see 133? I'm eating 1200-1300 calories and doing 70 minutes of cardio at the gym 5x a week.

Claire- Welcome!

OhThePlaces- Welcome!

Jiggle-Your only an inch taller than I am and I found that I lose weight pretty well on 1300 calories or less if I'm exercising. That 2lbs will be gone!


Walked 30min. Had 1220 calories. Down another .8lbs, this is going faster than expected. LOST 7lbs. IN 5 DAYS!!!!!! YIPPIE!!!!

As you all know, I buy alot of fruit to eat every week, well I got really good deals this weekend. I bought so much, I made fruit salad. It was so good, I ate it all today. I made more today to eat tomorrow, but made it a little different. It fills you up fast and keeps you full for a while.

way to go, fruitlady!

Interesting about the fruit. I love it, but I find that I actually get hungry pretty quickly after eating it.

I was doing really well with the calories early in the week, but did not as well later in the week. Only a little over, but still...

Good morning, everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I had way, way, way too much sugar this weekend and I need to try to detox from it this week so I can have a good WI on Friday. Hope everyone has a fantastic, OP week!

Good morning! I overindulged yesterday while celebrating Father's Day with my family.... did not anticipate the 7 layer dip with chips or cream pie. Ugh! I'll be putting in extra cardio at the gym today and eating light.

lol I know what you mean.. I get phantom weight loss all the time..lol hopefully its real!

youve come this far, there's no sense in thinking you cant keep going, I mean look at Lori.. she's waaay past her goal weight keep up the good work & Im sure you will meet your goal weight

Welcome! .. That initial weight loss when you first start dieting is such a booster Im sure if you stick with it, you will meet your Goal.. keep us updated

thank you for the mention ,, you may be just having a slow month, I know I am.. Ive been stalling with my weight loss, but Its cause I have had several off plan days & I havent been getting as much exercise as I need to.. I just hope to see a 3-5 lb weight loss by the end of this challenge

Wow, im sure you'll meet your goal with that level of activity & your calorie intake.. Welcome!

Maybe you can post some recipes to your fruit salad, cause I for one would love to try it.. I have never had fruit salad before...


SAME HERE. I ate an insane amount of sugar over the weekend.. cake .. cookies... candy.. I dunno what happened... I need to water myself all day!

sometime you just have to enjoy yourself



Its a new week & I hope to do better this week.. I know the challenge is almost up & I am a bit stalled... I just hope to lose a couple more pounds this month so I dont feel like a complete failure! Maybe this is just a slow month for me, Im trying not to let it get to me too much.. Ive had a hard month with losing my job & everything.. but now that I've found a new job, I feel better about myself & Im ready to get back on track.. Im sure Ill do better on the next challenge have a beautiful day ladies!

Quick check in but I'm down another 3 pounds. I'm smaller than I was in College!! I'll check in later!!

That's fabulous, jigglefree! Congrats.

I fully sympathize with everyone who said that Father's Day presented some challenges. We made a healthier brunch than normal, featuring summer fruits, but then my sister brought out the cookies for dessert. Luckily, they weren't actually that good.
