ladies hi!!! never done a "goal" challenge before.....so I say that my goal for July is 4 pounds! seems so little, but I know it'll be a great challenge for me as I've been the same weight for 2+ years!!!
ROCK IT, LADIES!!!!!

Hi everyone!

Just finished my second run/walk session for the week. Yay! It will take me a while to figure out this flex points thing. So far I haven't used any of them ... but I have been a little bit hungry at times ... I guess I just have to give myself time to make the adjustment.

princess_peach - how are you doing today? Back on track? Good for you for keeping a positive attitude!!

Hi TurboLeda - sounds like your goal is a good one. I see that you haven't got a massive amount of weight to lose ... so sometimes it just takes a bit longer right??? Go for it!!

Happy 4th all you Americans

cheers
Erika

Hi Erika, thanks for the encouragement!

Yep, I went to the gym this morning--72 minutes of cardio and I've been eating healthy all day so I'm feeling really good. So much better than the usual guilt I feel. Attitude changes are just as important as physical/health changes and I think that's my biggest obstacle.

Have a good day all!

[eusebius]

Yay Princess Peach - Well done!! You said it ... I would even say attitude changes are even more important because they cause us to make the health changes we need. And you have the 'tude

cheers
Erika

This HAS to be the month I drop five pounds! I'm a lifetime member who has been about a pound above goal weight since the beginning of this year. I am having trouble staying on-plan on weekends and on holidays.

Hey everyone!

to Susan!

I've found that when I have trouble on weekends, I just starting writing. I mean, I'll write what I want to eat and how good it will taste and everything and then I move on to other stuff, and the next thing I know my craving or "bad" moment has passed. Doesn't always work, but it's helped me a few times

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT 4 TH AND ALSO A GREAT DAY TODAY!!

Had my weigh in today and lost another 2.8 lbs. which makes me 4.6lbs away from my 100 lb. goal sooooo 100 LB LOSS -- look out here i come--LOL

WELCOME TO ALL THE NEW PEOPLE AND HELLO TO ALL THE ONES I HAVE ALREADY MET !!

I will check back later if i can if not i will catch you wonderful people tomorrow!!

[eusebius]

Good evening challengers!

I used some extra points today but I'm not worried ... I had only used 2 of my flex points so far this week. So, 24.5 total today. Including a beer Also I walked for an hour. The weather was just beautiful in the late afternoon here after a day of showers.

Hi Courtnie, where in BC do you live? My brother and his wife live in White Rock. I hope to get out to visit them soon. good job on a successful week!

Hi Andrea!

Welcome Susan! Wow, another lifetimer among us! I'm curious ... what made you decide to aim for a lower goal weight? No criticism implied! I am just wondering.

Princess Peach, I love your writing suggestion! I bet actually eating the food would not be as fantastic as I would imagine writing about it.

Hi Debbie! Wow 100 lbs - that is an amazing milestone. I hope you have major celebrations/rewards planned!!

Have a great night everyone!

cheers
Erika

hi guys

hi erica!!~ whatys up?

congrats deb!!!!!!

hey peach writin huh? cool. well gnite yall i am beat!!!

[klawster]

debbie i am so excited for you....had work pays off ! I weighed in on wednesday and gained 1 lb. lot better than i thought to be honest. tonight my dd and i went for a bike ride for twenty mintues.

never thought the extra twenty plus pound of DD would wear me out but it sure did ( i take her in a pully behind the bike). had a blast with her. it is my goal to keep up with riding with her.

Princess Peach--I'll just have to be more careful and not give in to cravings! I should just go work outside or go for a walk. I find it's hard, too, when eating out.

Eusebius--My goal weight was the upper limit for my height. It was a higher goal weight than I felt comfortable with. I am in between 5'6" and 5'7" and my leader suggested I go with the range for 5'7". I like to have a "cushion" and not have to sweat whether or not I'll be two pounds over goal at weigh-in. I haven't had to pay yet!


We have had several family events so far this summer, and it's hard to turn down well-meaning relatives who prepare that "special dish".

I take long walks, though. I bought myself an iPod and download audiobooks. That is SO enjoyable!
