Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
Okay, so it's been a couple of weeks that we've been posting or menus, but I was thinking we should kick it up a notch since it's almost August!!!
I was thinking we can do this monthly and commit to something we would like to improve on or change! Whether it be stepping it up at the gym, eating healthier, being good while eating out etc....something that has been an obstacle to you lately.
Okay, my commitment is to NOT go crazy snacking at night. From now on, it's one snack and it's a healthy one!!! Eventually I want to stop this horrible habit...
okay who's next?

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
GREAT idea!
My BIGGEST problem... Letting "GO" on the weekends! My commitment to myself will be to stay OP during the month of August...hopefully it will become second nature!

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
I havent' been posting my daily food intake with you all, but I've been doing WW for 3 months now, and my weight loss is starting to slow down. so I obvioulsy need to change something.
I need to stop being so bad on the weekends!

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
I have been doing really good w/ working out, I'm in panic mode because i'm going on a cruise on Aug. 19th, the thought of being in a bathing suit next to my friends who have great bodies is so upsetting, so I am challenging myself to keep up the workouts but to now focus even more on making good food choices. I also have to take it one day at a time, I tend to thin k ahead.

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
Okay ladies, let's REALLY commit ourselves to change these habits!!! Taking it one day at a time will eventually turn into a lifestyle change...
We can all totally do it!!!! If we can all get through these issues this month, then we'll just tackle another one next month!!
Sounds great! Go us!!

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
My lazy arse did not exercise today because my knee has been feeling funny for the past three days- I have no idea what I did to hurt it, but it was feeling really weird (really tight pulling when I would go into a squating position.) I think I will be set for tomorrow, it seems to be feeling better . . .

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
I ran today, 3miles, but it was 4 pm and too hot! I would have liked to have done more but its awful out PLUS I need water bottles-which I picked up today.
I will run in the am tomorrow like a smarter person would, when its cooler out. I'm shooting for a 1lb loss this week too.

I commit to this as well! I would like to aim for 3x a week.
I went to the gym on Saturday and again today... so I am only one workout away from my pledge this week.
Good luck ladies. We can do it!

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
wooohooo sounds great everyone!! i suppose today is the "official" start of august so if you haven't been keeping up with your committment NOW is the time to start!!!
As for me I've been really strong with my snacking, almost gave in last night cause I was really hungry but didn't do it!
Bri, even on your crappy days, even if you just go for a walk I think that's enough. Try to get yourself out there even when you don't want to...the hardest part is getting out of the house, after that it's easy!

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
I am going to step it up at the gym. I have been going 3 to 4 days but I want to go 4 to 5 this month. I also have given up on sugar in my coffee. Doesn't sound like much but it is killing me.

Re: Weight loss challenge girls - August Commitment Challenge!
I'm going to work on portion control... Instead of taking the bag, I'm going to put a small amount in a bowl and just eat that (for snacks, etc.)
Also, I'm working on stopping when I'm full... not when my plate is cleared.
Going to my first WW meeting tonight. Wish me luck!

That reminds me, I heard a great tip the other day. If you have big dinner plates like we do, it's suggested that you use a smaller plate (like the salad plate) and fill that up and you'll automatically be cutting your portions AND mentally more satisfied cause you're plate is full!

I feel soooo much better when I'm consistant throughout the weekends.
I gained this week...ummm...little weird, but I guess it's the adjustment?
