    I'm shouting it from the roof tops! My weight officially starts with a 2 not a 3 now!

    This is such a spectacular milestone! WOOHOOOOO!

    Hi,
    I wish I would have noticed and paid attention to this thread before now. I'm just now figuring out that it's here, and that you all are posting on it and using it. I feel so stupid. I thought it was just something that we read at the start of the challenge and were suppose to know.

    I'm going to be here with you all from now on.
    Amy

    Never too late!

    I could have written amy_kee's post. I didn't realize all this socializing was going on! :) I feel like I'm coming in on a party that's half over!

    I've never done a "chair squat", but plan on starting today.

    So proud of all of y'all that have made it this far into the challenge!

    Good to see ya! Party's not over yet!

    You all have A LOT of challenges going on I see, not just one. Are you all doing these star jumps (???), chair sits, squats, and push ups?

    Today, I swam for 100 minutes, did the elliptical for 30 minutes, and did Zumba for 60 minutes.

    It's been quite hectic here of late. I talked to my POC for Operation Finally Home; a non-profit organization the build's homes for wounded warriors so they can own a home mortgage free. Well our profile is infront of the builder right now, if approved by the builder it goes to the CEO of OFH and once approved by him we will have a home being built for us in florida! Fingers crossed and praying!

    It's been rough month with waiting on orders and trying to find a place to live back on the east coast side of things and trying to not be homeless....it's crazy I tell you!

    Other than that I have been doing on-line free classes and right now I am doing a class on viruses. That and we might be adopting a little girl once the courts do their thing and we do what we have to do to get her. SO I keep praying that everything works out for us.

    Unbelievable that you have so much going on in your life. I'm proud of you that you still manage to give yourself some me time on MFP. Not to mention that you have made it to the end twice. Good for you. I hope that it all works out for you as well.

    All these mini challenges sure do keep it interesting.

    I have to admit - chair squats are way harder than I thought - Will do them again!

    The scale is driving me crazy.

    I am faithfully staying within my calorie range and exercising (stationery bike) for 20 minutes each day. The last few days my weight is inching up. Is it my scale? My body? Not drinking enough water (usually 6 cups)? Any ideas out there?
