Just saw myself in some pictures from yesterday and it's definitely time to get serious.
I am going to stay optimistic, and August is going to be a great month. C'mon 10lbs, it's time to leave my body.
I'll start tracking tomorrow. Let's have a successful month everyone!
Alright looks like I'm the first to post my horrible eats today . I ate continuously and it shows ... not worried about the number in the morning TTOM is here and I believe that has been my issue the last two days. I did get my 3 miles in exercise Aspire toning shoes. I haven't walked in these in awhile. Whew they are tiring, gotta get use to them again

I would love to get in on this. I have been calorie counting (more or less) for the last couple of weeks and have lost almost 4pounds. But...today I made this great pasta dish (my house smelled like Olive Garden)and it sort of did something to me. I just ate and ate. I think the scale will show it tomorrow.
But...tomorrow is a chance to move more/eat better. No worries
Hope everyone has a great August....end of summer...great time to get our programs into gear so they will be habits, you know?
I just got serious again about a week ago (although I'd been maintaining by 12-15 lb lost for a couple months). I've already lost 6 pounds! Woot!
I weigh myself everyday. If I don't, I gain.
Today I had seafood sausage and a slice of Havarti cheese for breakfast/lunch (I don't wake up early enough to eat 3 meals a day...), a snack of two green apples, and a big plate of pasta for dinner (with shrimp, seafood sausage, and tomatoes).
I felt pretty good about my food intake, coming in just under 1400. Not so good on the vegetarian front. I haven't been eating meat for the past couple months, but I didn't want to put my mom out (just got back home from university today).
I did an exercise DVD as well. HipHop Abs. It was pretty ridiculous, but I felt the burn.

I really excited about this month. Just a small thing like staying within my calorie range makes me feel like I'm doing better already. Until next time . . . yall be good now.
Well August marks the beginning of month 5 for me. Lost 9 lbs in July. Total since joint is 41 lbs. My goal for August is 10 lbs. I need to do this to get to my overall goal by December. Thanks to everyone for all the support, I need it now more than ever.
ugh, i'm tired, my eyes are all squinty from reading all day. good night! i'm probably going to puff up like a balloon according to eating twice the normal amt of salt I should eat!
