    Hi CTK and bestmommie! Welcome!

    We check in with the group at least once a week with our current weight. We also chat about other things, so you're more than welcome to come on in here and post any time. We're going to have a new thread each week, so just keep an eye out on that one.

    We've also got a Team H20 website, where we're keeping a running log of everyone's weigh-ins from each week. www.teamh20.webs.com is where you can find if. You don't have to join by any means, but if you'd like to see the log, post pictures, whatever, you're more than welcome to join. :)

    Okay, so I haven't been doing a whole lot of exercise this summer. It's been a nice 2-month maintenance period. I've lost a little, but pretty much focused on my diet alone. I was going to Curves before and that was helping me. I really need to start going back, but it's so hard to be self-motivated. I just turned 18 and I'm trying to learn to not lean on my family quite as much. It's hard when I still live with them and probably will for at least another year. I can't get my family to eat healthier, I can't get them to exercise with me, can't get my mother to stop telling me "Oh, don't worry about it" when I say I don't want to eat a fatty microwave lunch.

    I know I need to start going again for myself, I need to give myself a kick in the butt. I wish I could be one of those people that enjoys exercise...but I really don't. I don't have a lot of exercise options in my little town. No pool, no zumba. We have a Curves gym and a high school running track. I'm going to college in September...hopefully that will widen my options a bit.

    Out of curiosity, does anyone else here go to Curves?

    So, what do we think about keeping the group name H20, even after the "halloween" challenge is over.. Since H20 stands for Water?? Well just need a new Icon for the next challenge.. :)

    Sweetie - I can imagine how hard it is for you since you still live at home. Maybe with you leading the way of healthy eating, your parents will follow. Like, don't ask them to make healthier meals, just (without pissing 'em off) make your own food and eat with them. I never did Curves, but my mom did. That's all I know about it. And yeah - once you get to college I think you'll do great since you're already working on getting good healthy practices into your life.

    April - We are totally H20 for life, yo! *cheesy gangsta sign* And I love you idea of a collage! You can use my avatar picture for me, and either my screen name or real name (Christine), whatever you prefer. Such a great idea!!

    I kind of like this one: http://www.rolcog.org/rolImages/H2Ob.gif Right now it's being used by some church for their youth league or something but I don't think they'd mind if we borrowed it. :)

    Lookingfor some more H20 Logos..

    And remember whatever little logo we want, I can always add the "H20" to it. Like, for the Christmas challenge, I can put the lettering over a Christmas tree, or an ornament, or twinkle light...

    April, try [url= [img][/img] and put the photo's URL in the first hole (after the url=) and the second hole (after the first img)

    After halloween the H could stand for "Hotties"
    Cause if we lose 20lb per goal we're all gonna be hotties, 20lbs at a time. :)

    I love the idea of a collage and I'd love to be a part of it! My profile pic and my nickname "Kitsune" please! I'll start checking out some images for H20 and whatnot :3

    There's a Toby Keither BAR?!? He's my FAVORITE! :D:D

    Facebook hhmmm??

    I've added all of the newest members to the log. From my count, we've got 99 members!! We've got such a great, big group. If we all reach the 20 pound goal, that means we'll collectively have shed 1,980 pounds! WOWZERS


    For me...bit of a down day. In the past I've had times where the scale will report me about 8 to 10 pounds lighter than I really am. I know it simply can't be true, step on again, and an accurate weight pops up. These last two weeks, I was getting great satisfaction from the work I was putting in when the scale was giving me really happy results. This morning I hopped on, and I just started feeling duped. Asked the husband to step on to confirm my thoughts, and...yeah. There was fluff or something under the feet of the scale, messing up the reading. He cleaned it off, and I haven't made nearly as much progress as I thought I had (at least with weight).

    So I don't think my weigh in this week will be great. I know I'm doing good things, and I'm making good lifestyle changes. But I think my report tomorrow morning will be higher than my last CW. Which...yeah, that's really a bummer. So I'm kinda disillusioned at the moment, but I need to stay positive. I'm a positive, optimistic, bubbly person by nature. I don't like feeling anything otherwise.

    Back to work!!
