Hi everyone from the June post and all newcomers! This is a post to encourage one another on a day to day basis to stick to our weight loss program. So, anyone wanting to lose atleast 5 pounds this month, come on aboard!

Hey Kendra - Thanks for starting this new post.  I'm in for July - it's my TOM currently.  I weighed in yesterday because Monday's are my weigh-in days and was up 3 lbs.  I'm truly hoping it's because of the timing.  You did great for June - you should be so proud of yourself.  Here's to a great July everyone!

Hi all!  Thanks for getting this going, Kendra.  I think 5 pounds is very reasonable for me - I can't seem to do much more than that, but it's okay. 

I'll won't be here much this week.  I have all three boys in town this week for the first time all summer and my computer has been taken over!  I do my hospital work on a separate computer, and we can't do any fun internet stuff on that one - they block everything!  They own the computer, so I guess they can do whatever they want with it. 

I hope everybody has a great week.

Ashilynne, I think everything works out for a reason, so just hang in there and keep your chin up.  The right slot will open up for you. 

I'll have to catch up later - my computer is being taken over again!

I am all for 5 in July. I lost 6 in June, so I can definately do it. I'm almost out of my first bottle so I need to go get a new one this week.

I'd LOVE to be down 6 lbs then I'd be out of the 150's for the first time...in a LONGGG time!

Have a good day ladies :-)

 

Count me in!  I've been averaging 3 pounds a month so 5 would be huge for me!  I'll be out of town for about a week in the middle of the month but I'm determined to still loose that week.

I'm starting today at 171 so 5 pounds would put me at 166. 

Ashilynne,

You can go on the home sign in page and print a $5 off coupon before you buy that bottle. I printed mine out today, so it should still work. I'm almost out of my starter bottle, too.

 

I think 5 pounds is a nice realistic goal for me, but for anyone that wants to challenge themselves to more weight, you have my support and admiration! Remember ladies, try to fill up on the watermelon during those 4th of july parties. It consists of mainly water, fat free, and is a natural diaretic. It's a whole lot healthier than cake, but don't add too much water-retaining salt!

Hi Ladies, I'd like to join also!....My first July weigh in is tomorrow but since starting on april 2, I've lost 24.5lbs....I would love to lose 8lbs in July. well i'd love to lose more but I'll be realistic this time round :). Good Luck to all. Where is everyone from? I'm from NY.

Hey Ladies!

I have been busy busy with summer stuff but I am in with the July 5lbs!

I lost 5lbs in june total, but noticed I am 3lbs up today :( *tom* has come though, hopefully that is the cause. 

I am starting Curves tomorrow, i have never done it and have no idea what it will be like but i am excited to be start getting some activity even if small....anyone have curves stories?

I also started Linda Spangle's 100 day plan, it can be found at www.weightlossjoy.com. It is just a plan to use in conjunction with whatever diet you are following, kind of a motivational daily tip deal.

 Anyway great job on all of your losses and efforts!  Keep it up!

I'm in I lost 8 pounds in June and I'm up for 5.  Thanks for doing this, it helps me stay accountable.

Just a fun tip:

According to our Alli Calorie and Fat Counter,

1 and 1/4 cup of watermelon has 57 calories and .2 fat grams.

Watermelon is a great way to stay hydrated, keep cool (when it's chilled), satisfy your sweet tooth, and stay within your calorie limit during those 4th of July parties. Many stores have it on sell this weekend. I', about to pick up our family's 3rd for the week. It's a healthy dessert substitute for the kids. We are going to the beach part of our lake, and I'll have a cooler packed with cut up watermelon for everyone to snack on. It's better those chips that "once you pop, you can't stop!" I also plan to do this when we go to the base to watch fireworks. Just a nice healthy treat!

Hi everyone!!

I hope everyone is having a good week. I'm glad it's almost over!  I started my menstrual cycle today so I feel horrible. I don't even want to see a scale this week.

Anyway, it's great to be able to keep in touch with you ladies for a whole new month. I lost 12lbs in June and don't want to sound pesimistic but I am not expecting much in July since the body tends to slow down but I 5lbs sounds very Possible so I'm in!

SW: 170lbs. 05/27/08

CW: 158lbs. 06/27/08 (On my period this week so I won't weight in till next week)

GW: 135lbs

"I am so enjoying my husband's compliments, makes me want to do better & better each day!"

Hi!  I just started last week and would love to join 5 in July!!!  I have had a difficult year and gained 15 pounds.  I would love to lose 6 more pounds.  That would put me at 150 and it would give me the boost to go on!

Count me in! How is everyone? Kendra, what day is your WI?

I changed my weigh in day to Sunday, Thursday was just inconvenient, plus when I just had my TOM...it usually comes on Wed and is gone by Sunday/Monday, so I think Sundays will be better. I'm hitting the gym tonight after I get off in 30 minutes...I have alot of making up to do. Then tomorrow I'm going really early in the morning and Saturday before work...so hopefully that makes a dif. I want to see 149 by the end of July...that would be 6 lbs...I lost the same in June - I can do it!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!

Hi everyone!

Count me in for sure! I started taking Alli on Monday and lost a few lbs. And then I weighed this morning and I'm up 2 lbs.  :-( Does anyone weigh everyday or just once a week?  Anyway I can definitely relate to your stories.  Have a fun/safe 4th!  I look forward to posting here!
