While my scale hasn't been moving, I have been exercising 30-60 minutes 6 days a week. 30+ mins is walking, 20 mins / mile, which gets me in target heart rate zone, but not completely fatigued. 3 or 4 days a week, I swim 30+ mins. This morning I did half mile in 33 minutes, my fastest time this summer. I do strength training 3 days a week, currently the resistance band workout, then squats, lunges, crunches, pushups etc. I log my nutrition faithfully, go above my suggested calorie range maybe once every 14 days or so. Five pounds down for August sounds spectacular!

I just went back to the gym last week. I made it there 5 days last week and worked out one day at home. This week though I only made it to the gym twice, so I plan to work out Sat. & Sun. at home.

I do 40 mins of Cardio 4 days a week and 15 mins Cardio w/ strength training the other 3 days. Right now I have been losing 5+ pounds a month. (I have 30 pounds left to lose)
I weigh in on Wednesdays. Sorry I don't share the number from the scale (issues that I have about people knowing this number) but will post the number lost weekly.

I already do 45 minutes a day 5 days a week but unfortunately I do not lose 5 pounds a month. Normally if I can get 3 to 4 a month I am doing good. My goal however is 8 pounds for the month, which will be extremely hard but I am really up to the challenge. I normally weigh in on Fridays and I am normally not active on spark over the weekend so I will go ahead and post my weight as of this morning.

SW 176.5
GW for team 171.5
GW for myself 168.5

I have an ugly bridesmaids dress I have to wear in 7 weeks so I am really trying to lose 20 before the wedding and get down to 162.

My challenge to all is to get in 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 4 days per week and try and lose 5 pounds or more this month. Please post often so others might receive the motivation you have and keep on going with us. Good luck to all.
