Summer Slimdown - Eliminated and Feeling Great
Last comment by MasonsMom 7 months ago.

I was eliminated from the Summer Slimdown contest last week. Although I have one of the lowest overall body fat change totals, I posted my biggest one-week weight and body fat loss of the contest thus far.

Being eliminated isn't stopping me from keeping up with my diet and workout routine, though. I haven't felt this good in a long time (maybe high school?), and want to see it completely through the nine weeks.

We're halfway through the contest, but I'm more than halfway to my weight-loss goal. I'm feeling really healthy these days, and have more energy to keep up with my kids.

My back feels great so I'm trying to give it my all with my workouts, especially the group classes. I'm still having trouble with the kettle-bell weights, but I'll get there.

It's really great to see so many of us making progress. Best of luck to everyone in the second half!

You're doing great! Keep up the good work. 1/2 way to your goal is outstanding! It's great to see so many of the other contestants at the gym in the morning. I'm sure I'll see you soon there again.

Summer Slimdown - Back from Vacation, Back to Work
August 24, 2009
I had a nice, two-day vacation that was full of temptations. Tacos here, pizza there, churros, cupcakes, pretzels, and did I mention the tacos? :) I *think* I did well, though. I had packed food for myself for two days and basically snacked on all of it. I tried to ...
