:flowerforyou: Do you need a weekend boost? I sure do! Many times the weekend is a challenge to get through and we end up undoing everything we worked so hard for through the week. Take the Skinny Saturday Challenge and finish your weekend with a smile on your face! Here's what it entalis:

Think double, double, double! :happy: :happy:
Double your exercise~
Double your water intake (within healthy limits)~ :drinker: :drinker:
Double your willpower to stop eating after dinner and log every tidbit that crosses those lips! :bigsmile:

Just let us know now if you are in....then check in and out when you can tomorrow to let us know how it is going and encourage someone else. Grab a buddy and make the c ommitment! :heart: There is power in numbers....I know one thing for sure.....

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN! :smooched:

    Yay for you! You are putting yourself on the list this weekend. We can still get a lot done and take care of others while taking care of ourselves. We deserve to look and feel our very best.:heart:

    My Skinny Sat. has started out great with food and water.:drinker: Eating healthy and light and drinking an ocean of water today! Not much movement for me today as I am nursing a sore foot. Had surgery on my left foot so my new exercise routine will involve pilates and weights. Can't do much in the aerobic area. Rats...that is what I love to do. Oh well, this cast is temporary. I still plan on losing weight while in the cast.

    It is supposed to be hot and humid in the midwest. If you are working outside today be sure to drink plenty of H2O! What is your Saturday plan for success?:smooched:

    I am up and ready to do well today, I feel terribly bloated due to all the pretzels I ate last night so am definitely having lots of water today. I am going to get it two workouts somehow. My husband is home so he will get to spend lots of quality time with our children while I exercise!!! This is perfect for me today as I usually don't do great on the weekends and I already did badly yesterday.
    Lets go for it ladies!!!

    Count me in. It seems everything I do during the week falls apart on the weekends.

    Today is going to be a real challenge. One of my best friends is turning 40 and there's a HUGE cookout today. This girl knows how to throw a party :laugh: The food and drinks are always incredible :tongue:

    However, I've already made plans to go cycling with 2 friends early tomorrow morning. This was a conscious decision so that I wouldn't stay out too late, OR drink much. :laugh: A hangover and 40-50mile bike ride simply do not mix :laugh: Also, if I eat too much junk food, I won't have a good ride. Plus, I know I have to answer to all of you.

    So, the plan is to do a short bike ride today (10-15m) and stick to the grilled chicken and veggies at the party. The great thing about backyard parties at this friend's house is that there is always a volleyball net set up and we always play. So, it's not just sitting around eating. There's also badminton, frisbee, and horseshoes. :happy:

    So, wish me luck, ladies!!! And good luck to all of you!!! :drinker:

    Checking in!
    How is everyones skinny Saturday going? Mine has been great so far,I did n hour of tae bo and still plan on doing about 30 minutes on the treadmill. I also have a walk on the beach planned for tonight with the hubby.

    On another note,I snuck and weighed myself(I usually do that on my no workout day,every Sunday) and I have lost another 2 pounds:love: ! I'm hoping tomorrow will be another pound added:wink:

    Have fun everyone!
