Open to anybody who would like to lose a few pounds. It always helps if you know somebody else trying to get in shape!
Here's how it'll work:
On September 1st, post your starting weight and your goal weight for the month. Then on the 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th come back and post your current weight for those dates. If you can't post on those dates, no worries, post as close as you can.


I don't know what I weigh right now, but I have gained a few pounds this month and I'd like to lose 6 lbs. in September. I also want to get back into working out, I've been a complete slacker the month of August.

ok, I don't want to post my weight
but I have lost about 5 pounds starting last week

and plan to continue.

In my case, carbs are the enemy. And lack of exercise.

I guess like most people here carbs are my enemy. I wasn't doing so hot at the beginning of this thing so I started going low carbs and I'm down 2 pounds. 8 more to go for the month.....I don't think I'll get there :(

Down a pound this week!
I've been slipping, though. Bread, dessert, rice... Cuttin' 'em all out next week. At least bread & rice!

I've been doing so-so. I've lost a couple of pounds, but nothing to get really excited about yet!

Ah shit, my weight has not changed, but the good news is I have done at least 30mins exercise to perspiration level every day for the last week, so my fitness is improving.

I just squeezed my guy yesterday and "hurt" him. This cant be right...he was proud. I am gonna protect him. All of my pjam girls and guys.

Nevermind looking good. Strength is awesome......especially for self-defense. Its empowering.

I can carry and walk with things I normally couldn't hold for a minute.


Keep it up everyone!!! :cool:

ra-ra these are cool, but probably too much for me to start with, you don't have any suggestions for beginner pilates videos? I think I need a few baby steps to get back into it slowly before I would attempt some of those links that you provided, which look excellent btw.

Whatever works!

Hey, I'll have to try this. There's Popeye's right next to a Dairy Queen just down the street from my house.

Up a 1/2 lb. Workout stayed consistant. Calorie intake was consistant, except for the homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies. Damn You Nestle Toll House! Damn You!!!!!
