Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to say hi! I am meeting with the trainer tonight and then the weight training will begin. I am so excited. I was also happy this morning when I weighed in and had lost 2.2 lbs this week. Three weeks down...the rest of my life to go! Hope I'm losing those inches too. I can't quite tell in my clothes yet.

Sarah - Hope you feel better!

Re: August 1st Tape Measure Challenge

bjs - did the steps once so far last week - OMG that was tough! Should do them again today but I have a lot planned so I'm targeting them again for tomorrow. I will try to take a picture of them for everyone this week. Wait till you see this task. If I can ever run up them in a single journey - I'll amaze myself! For right now the goal is just to walk. But I’ll try to run like 5 steps for now and then build up as I go. It’s absolutely lovely at night.

I need to put this in the stair challenge so Jimmie can see that I’ve made the commitment. Hopefully I can get this in at least 3 times this week, if not 4.

Tammy - Congratulations on losing 2.2 pounds this week.
(((((((((((((((((YaY Tammy)))))))))))))))))))))

Sorry you're hurting Sarah - feel better

Tammy, that's terrific! Congrats on those lbs lost. You will see the inches coming off, I promise....you've got to give it a few weeks to really see dramatic changes. WOOHOO on the weight training, it's amazing what it will do for your body.
