Thanks Juleslynne for doing this. Didn't make 7 lbs but was ooooohhhh so close. I really appreciate the time you put into this and I really felt challenged.
Looking forward to doing better in the August Challenge (or lose weight trying)

|
| I didn't think I did the 7 pounds. WOW! I couldn't remember! Thanks for this and I'm going to join the August one right now. My "goal" was 5 pounds per month to get my 30 pounds by the end of the year so if I can do 7 lbs then I'm ahead of the game. Thanks Jules for doing this and for pushing me

Good Morning,
I weighed myself this morning and today I'm down to 158.4 pounds. I've lost 7.6 pounds so far this month and 15.6 pounds since I started SP.
Thanks Jules for a great challenge.
I was worried that the Spark Fit Club wouldn't be as tough as your challenges. Last week was the first week and we had two challenges: water and 90 minutes of Cardio for the week. We got new weekly challenges for this week: 1. Add 10% to our weekly cardio. (350 minutes). 2. Drink Equal or more water than last week. 3. Do as many push ups (any type) as you can this week. 4. Track you calories all week and give weekly range and results. 5. 30 minutes of me time.
Jules I think they may be able to keep me focused. I still liked the daily strength exercises and will probably do three of my own everyday.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Hello,
We just returned from an evening out and I realize that I didn't post a challenge for the weekend. It seems that our month is winding down but there's a new thread started already from Xiomi and Ginger for the new August challenge - it sounds great!
As for a challenge for this weekend - I challenge you all to make up your own challenge!!!!  . Include a task to be completed that involves exercise and diet as well as some sort of social motivation. (as per our weekend standards!). Basically, go out and enjoy your weekend. Celebrate your successes and your new attitude towards your ever-improving healthy lifestyle.
I'm waiting for a few more weigh-in's and Friday reports before doing the stars and final tally's for the month. I have a feeling some of the numbers will change, so I'll wait for a bit before posting the final results and statistics. I can tell you already that there are 4 people who lost 7 or more lbs this month. (some others are very, very close!). Xiomi is right though, it's not all about the numbers. I am so proud to read your positive messages about pants being too big, about kicking bad habits (ie: soda, tv eating), about having more energy, building muscle tone and feeling so much better about yourselves.
I thank you for all of your support, your compliments and your dedication to completing this. It was tough, and I am really proud of all of you for doing so well!!!
If you haven't reported for Friday yet, please do so, then I'll get the results up on the board.
Juleslynne
