  • TexSue, !! Good to have you! I've added your weight loss goals to the list in this thread and your exercise goal to the list in the July Exercise Challenge thread! Good luck!
  • Delphi~ OMG! I'm dyin' over here! Bwahahaha!!! I love it! I'm tellin' ya, our houses are going to be seen sparkling from space by the time we hit our goals!!! I went through this insane Mission Organization project at the beginning of the year--went through and purged/cleaned/organized nearly every room in the house, even the basement! I took pics too! It was the best feeling ever to get it all done, but wow what a long time it took! I should redo my pantry though--it's gotten a little out of whack since I organized it. Thanks for pullin' my pigtails girlie! That'll be first on my list after my workout and breakfast!

    Oh, btw, got the bathrooms cleaned and the floor mopped today! Neener, neener, nee-ner!!!

  • Hey!! It's only Tuesday. I thought all this nonsense only happened on Friday!!!

    I wonder if I can still pull something off with the few hours I have left..we shall see
  • NSM ~ Sandye started it. You're right, Friday's it is. This is just the pre-challenge, get the blood pumping stuff...I just had to...it was like she was taunting me with her clean bathrooms. I love it.

    Sandye ~ Neener, Neener..eh? Oh my..seriously laughing out loud just doesn't describe it. Alright deary, it's ON! You remember who gets up an hour earlier than you do...

    Texsue ~ Welcome to the challenge and goodluck!

    Mystical ~ Grilling out sounds delightful. I wish we could do that more often. Let's get July started off right.
  • I can't believe June is over! I know I'd have never made it this far without you ladies!

    I didn't make my exercise goal, but I was down 11 pounds this morning from June 1!! I can't believe I lost 11 pounds in one month!!!!!!!!

    My goal for July is another 10 pounds, although I have no idea what or how things will happen.

    My major non-weight goals are to get DH moved to Maryland, get the house ready to list (I'm hoping to have it ready to show by June 15 so that people can see it while we're out of town), and figuring out what will happen with my job.

    I have an NSV for today. I was doing some yard work with my grandmother, trying to figure out how to reshape the flower bed and getting the lower branches of the trees cut down. It's amazing what a little more light can do for the front of the house! Anyway, while out there, I was wearing this pair of men's cotton shorts I'd gotten for yardwork a year or two ago, and they started falling down!!!!!! My shirt that I got with them was baggy, too, and it used to feel really tight.

    I also met with my realtor, got pre-qualified for a loan for the house we want in MD, found a new home for one of my cats (the other one gets to stay), went to the office for a bit, and got some things from Home Depot. Yesterday, I managed to find a room for rent for DH for less than half what we were afraid we'd have to pay. Plus, he has so much vacation and comp time from work that we found out he'll get a little more than 1 full months pay which means I can get the bills paid for July!!

    I may be scarce this month, but I'll be thinking of you all!
  • Hi, I am Crazymamaof4's mom. I just returned from a week with her, and she looks great! She has inspired me, so here I am. My goal for July is to lose 7-10 pounds, work out 6-7 days a week, and to drink more water. What is POP?
  • hey chickies! I am proud because I used up most of my points so after dinner i only had like 1 point left. Well I wanted something sweet. So i went for a most pleasant jog and got some activity points and ate SF jello with a tbsp of SF Cool whip and it was so goo. And guess what it is considered NO POINTS. I haven't weighed myself since sunday (because I do it at the gym and I haven't been due jogging outside) and I am dying to know what I weigh. I don't like to be surprised on WI day WW. I hope everyone's evening is going well. I have to get to the dishes.
  • Hello! I would like to join.

    This is my first challenge.

    My goal for July is to lose 12 lbs.

    Good luck everyone!
