Hi All- I'm sorry that this didn't post last night I tried from our I-Pad and I clearly failed, after thinking no one was responding! #epicfail

How has the week been for you? I hope everyone is continuing to succeed in their goals!  Let us know what is working, what isn't, tips, recipes, apps, or workouts that you come across. Are you new to this check-in?  Answer these questions so we can get to know you:
  1. What is your weight loss/get healthy goal?
  2. What method are you using to help reach your goal?
  3. What is your biggest weakness that you just can't resist?
  4. What kind of support would you appreciate from our weekly check-ins?
QOTW: Most of us post what our long term goals are which vary however what about our short term goals? Although the summer is great for grilling, having plenty of fresh garden veggies and nicer weather to get moving outside, I find that it also hinders my success with picnics, graduation parties, vacations, smores by the fire pit, ice cream stands open.... you get the point! So what are your goals for this summer that we can check in with each other about and continue to be a support system for!

    What is your weight loss/get healthy goal? Long Term-100lbs. Short Term-30lbs. to qualify for IVF, almost there, down 20lbs! However, I have been slipping a lot this week and we are off track.

    What method are you using to help reach your goal? Low Carb, nothing processed, lean proteins, no sugar, healthy fats, etc!

    What is your biggest weakness that you just can't resist? This week it was the chocolate oreo blizzard from Dairy Queen. I had a really bad moment after logging on to facebook and seeing several friends posting pregnancy pictures/announcements. I am happy for them but I got really sad and stupidly thought that the blizzard would make for feel better, which it did for a brief moment then I got made at myself.

    QOTW:

    -For me I need to loose at least 10 more pounds to qualify for IVF. By September 1st (I work at a college so to me then summer is over) I would like to loose about 25lbs. I am hoping to loose at much as possible before we start on the meds, etc. I am hoping by joining the gym it will help my weight loss move in the right direction as it's slowing down.
