Weight-Loss August Goal Challenge

Weight-Loss
So I had a small piece of cake and some icecream at my niece's birthday party last night! But it didn't harm me. Iforgot about it or I would've included it in my cals. But like I said I am still down today and have all my cals figured and so I am good to go for today!!:)
 
August, mmmmh my month ;) Let me join, please!!! :D

Goals for Valerie:

*be accountable, more than I have
*find the courage and strength I need to accomplish weight loss, as well as other parts of my life.
*stay strong

How will I do this? I'll try the best I can.

My birthday and yesterday I barely ate, which was good because I drank too much beer ;) And I believe I'll be down more weight, soon.
 
Ok, I have done excellent until Sun afternoon when we went shopping and came home with a Trail mix with all kind of nuts and chocolate covered raisins ..and what-not in it. Well, all in all it is not bad for you, but eating about 2.5 cups full is!!!:eek: I ate so much of it, it gave me a stomach-ache and could not eat dinner, and I was up a lb this morning.
Ok, so I will do better today!! I already run on the treadmill 3 miles and have boot-camp today, hopefully burning 1000 calories between the two. We'll see.
Happy Monday everybody!!

You will do this with our help and support Val - we are toally here for ya!!!
 
So I am not home till Friday...My ogals for here are gonna be simple...continue to monitor what I eat, but allow myself to not be too strict like I usually am when I am here - not to strict but I mean the freedom to eat and enjoy myself in moderation like when I am usually here...

Mom and Dad have a bike so Im not gonna make myself use it daily just maybe set a goal for myself to use it at least three times when I am here...I forgot my stroller - lol - so no walking for me when I am here...
 
Goals for august are to at least lose 10 lbs this month.
keep walking every evening.
Don't feel bad if I don't lose what I'm expecting because I'm in it for the long haul anyway.
 
I am so in on this.

My goals for August are to lose at least 2 lbs a week
Drink 64 oz of water a day
Exercise at least 5 days a week for at least 1.5 hours/ day
Eat between 1500-2000 cals a day no more or less then that.

My main goal is to be down to 240 by the end of august.

We can do this I know it. Keep up the good work everyone

Thanks Cinderelly. It sure felt good. My 19 year old son recently moved out on his own. He came to visit yesterday. He was like. "Mom, you lost alot of weight are you O.K" I reassured him I was fine and that I had been losing the weight over a period of time and that he just didn't realize it because he saw me everyday.

It is odd that untill you lost x amount, those that see you daily notice so little.
 
Thus, far I have gotten back on track on my eating. I feel so much better more energy etc.

I haven't been to the gym yet..however two days in a row I push mowed the yard for 30 minutes each day and then for two days I raked. Has to count for some cardio.

We have a situiation at home currently that makes it very hard to leave to go to the gym.

Keep up the good job everyone.
 
So far I've been keeping to my goals. Regardless of the weather being hot as hell. Ick. I've been waking up at 5am and getting myself at least 4xs a week brisk 1 hour walks. I've been pushing through those Power 90 DVDs (Sculpt and Sweat 1-2) and I can honestly say, I feel my arms getting stronger. (I can see my triceps when I flex... hotness. haha) Also, I can do more pushups with a bit more ease.WOOT! My water intake is up to at least 10 cups a day and needless to say, I've been pissing like a race horse. Good times!

Last week I made it to the gym 5x:) I have been eating healthy and doing well overall even with migraines.

Today I went to the gym ... one day down for this week.
 
i'm in! it's august 9, so i'm starting late. my weight is 147. so by the end of august i would like to weigh 140. my goals are 1200 cals a day, daily dance dance revolution, and walking a few times a week. and lots of water. wish me luck! my scale hasn't moved in a few months beacuse i keep getting lazy and giving into temptation. i'm going to try my best this time. good luck to all of you!
 
I have been sticking with my goals. I am seeing some progress! Although it's PMS time, but I didn't gain this time and that's exciting. We've been lifting some heavy stuff for moving and I can feel the muscal in my back. Not just pain for once. So i feel pretty good about myself.:)
 
My goal for this month is 250. I really really hope to get there. I was at 262 on August 1st. I have some work to do :p
 
My weigh in was today, and my exercise schedule (2x a day) seems to have paid off. Lost 1.6 lbs this week.
I try to do my running in the morning at 5.30 and then some kind of strenght at night. Last night was 15 min on the exercise ball and 20 min with dumbells. I found the link on sparkpeople.com.
Everybody, keep your mind focused on your goals and it will become reality!!!
Have a great day.

I got down to 154 this morning. I am very happy with this news and hope to report another lb or gone when I am next on here. I am going to have my internet off for a while as we are out of the house this weekend and don't know when it'll be hooked up in the new place. So good luck everyone. Hope to be back on here soon!!:)
 
I'm struggling with the goals I laid out for this month. I'm doing alright with going to the gym and I think I'll be losing at least 1lb a week... But I can't seem to keep track of everything I eat.
I've been using fitday, but sometimes its just such a pain to put all the foods in. I don't often eat pre-packaged foods with labels so it makes it a little harder.

I'm still 181 as of this morning, so thats good.

I need to refocus, already... and its only the 9th. :(
 
My sorrow over the end of my relationship has spurned my weight loss, but I'm back to eating healthy and being happier.

I HAVE had no trouble not snacking or over eating, however, I'm worried that when I feel totally 100% better that my appetite will go out of control, to equalize. It's then that I'll be struggling, but I'm up for the challenge!! I can't rememeber what my original goal for this month was, but I want to lose a lb a week and get to the 130s (was 143 last week, now 142, looking to be in the 130s the end of this month).
