    Alright girls!!!! So, I think we've decided to start the challenge the day after Thanksgiving. We figured that we'd let everyone enjoy their last meal! LOL Just kidding!!!! No, seriously, I know I would like to have a little more stuffing that day or a small slice of pie, so let's start that Friday! What do you say?

    I know there are some girls who will still need to get their Shakeology, if you can shoot me or Jolene a message, let us know and let's get it ordered!

    I look forward to the challenge and am excited to hear about everyone's experience! So, let's do it!

    Hey girls! Ok, I think we've come up with the teams! Me or Jolene will be posting them so stay tuned. I'm continuing to have my Shakeology but I think I've put my back out or something; today is my rest day so hopefully I'll be back at it tomorrow!

    Hey girls! I posted a pic of a 30 day recipe card for Shakeology on my profile. It's for the chocolate but it might be too small to see unless you can copy and paste it to your own computer. Anyway, let me know if you can see it ok or save it ok and I'll post the one for the Greenberry flavor.

    Hi guys,

    I am really hoping that Shakeology is as good as I've heard, I am currently in a rut...actually more like a big hole. Once I lose motivation it is very hard to get it back. It starts with me eating something bad, because I've been too restrictive combined with me hanging with friends that are not dieting and just go with it. Anyway this goes on and doesn't stop until I am utterly disgusted with myself. I have gained and lost over 30 lbs, ten different times. I am trying to be strong again, i want to do this so bad.

    Thank you in advance for being supportive.

    I know exactly what you are talking about. it does take alot of planning when you are faced with situations like that. if you are like me (a MAJOR chocoholic), then shakeology will really help you alot. prior to going out with friends, you can have a shakology and this should keep your cravings down. tomorrow me or debra will send you some ideas that have helped us. and no matter which team you are on, we are all here for eachother. We are here to help you be strong:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Hello! This is a friendly challenge for all you ladies who would like to get a jump start on your resolution and look your best in your New Year's Eve outfit! Please join us (myself and my fitness pal, Jolene) as we'll be using Shakeology to help us get there! Just replace one meal a day with Shakeology. It's a chance for those of you who have used Shakeology, and those of you who would like to try it to jump on the bandwagon and have fun in the process. If you don't know about Shakeology, shoot us a message and we will give you the info! Already using Shakeology? Fantastic! You are all ready to go!

    We will build two teams between the two of us. So, as you post your interest in joining, we will assign you on a team, either with myself or Jolene. If you're already one of our pals, then you'll be on our team! Then, once we start, we just ask that everyone post their daily accountability and share their experience!

    As we get the teams set up, we'll send you a helpful reference guide to help you eat clean while doing the challenge. We'd like to see how many of you girls are interested and then we'll send each of you info on how to get your Shakeology and then we'll come up with a start date. The challenge will be a month long. If you'd all like to start after Thanksgiving and really boost your resolution, that's fine! We're game! So, who's in?????

    Hello, count me in!!! I totally want to join!

    Chocolate shakeology mixed with a cup of unsweetened chocolate almond milk in a shaker cup is my every day morning snack. Keeps me going until lunch!

    Glad to be part of this challenge. I'm 4.5 lbs away from my goal weight so this should be a fun way to keep pushing!

    If you're not already one of my friends on MFP, feel free to send me a request. We can all use extra support!

    Morning ladies!!! Who's had their Shakeology today? I have!!!! I can't drink it slow enough! lol Had a great workout today too, Turbo Fire 55 EZ and got a great burn!

    Tee: I sent you some info on Shakeology! It's like gold!!!!!

    Mandy: Ok, that just made my mouth water!!! I haven't seen that flavor! Let us know how it is! Sounds yummy!!!! You can also add just a hair of peppermint extract to your choc shakeology and it's like a thin mint cookie in a cup!!!!

    Beth: Here's a link to a video that explains the 3 day cleanse! http://beachbodycoach.com/esuite/home/ddavies?bctid=81728270001

    Sharon: As always girl, you're bringing it! How exciting that you only have 4.5lbs to go! Woo hoo!!! I know you'll do it!

    Well, stay focused girls and eat clean while on this challenge, it will only help! Keep moving and grooving!

    Well I didn't have my shake this morning, I woke up so late!!! I also went to bed really late, so that is part of the problem. So now I am here at work (on time) and will probably eat some whole wheat toast with sugar free jam.

    I went to WebMD last night and took a weight loss survey/quiz. I said that I want to lose 3 dress sizes and that I would like my reduction of calories to be 70% exercise and 30% calories. I am trying to change it up. In the past I would be very restrictive with my calories, 1200 a day, and barely have enough energy to exercise. As a result I have noticed I lose muscle.

    This time I am trying something different. 1) shakeology 2)going to the gym everyday and pumping iron 3)only reducing my calories by 300 daily.

    Any tips, questions send them my way. I am reallly trying to have a master plan here, so anything helps.

    The mint chocolate silk milk is really good! I put half a cup in the shakeology and half of a cup of nonfat milk. It was good! :)

    Hi girls! Well, I drank my Shakeology today! So, one thing down. However, no time for a workout! Grrrrrr!!!!! And I'll probably be MIA over the next few days but know that I'll be getting my butt kicked by the man himself, Mr. Tony Horton!!!!! I can not wait!!!!!!

    riveraphx: Girl, I hear ya! And that's why we're all here to help support & motviate each other. We're human, we all struggle! I think that's why they (whoever they are...lol) refer to it as a journey, because you're always traveling that road. I've actually caught myself a few times this week eating something I shouldn't be, thinking well, I'll just work it off tomorrow. Noooo!!!! Wrong way to think. I shouldn't have even picked it up in the first place. So, hang in there. You can do it, we believe in you! The Shakeology will help, I know it will! Keep up the good work girl!

    Mandy: I'm gonna look for that silk milk this weekend! Yummmoooo!!!! How is everything going with you?

    Hope all the other ladies are doing good! We can do this!

    Hello, my lovelies, how are all of you.....I went with my favorite reeses pieces shakeology today, chocolate shakeology with a spoonful of all natural peanut butter (crunchy) and that is it, yeehaw!

    so how is everybody doing, are we surviving the work week, I am BARLEY, lol

    @riveraphx, you can take shakeology anytime of day, I like to take it at the time that i used to get cravings the most. It is hard, we all understand that, and this is the beginning of a healthy road for us all. The support doesnt stop at the end of this challenge, we will help you anytime you need it.

    to everybody else, you are doin good, keep it up. is anybody doing workout during this challenge? which ones are you doing?
    :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart: :flowerforyou:

    keep going girls :wink:

    Turbo Fire and a daily dose of Shakeology is my ticket to losing the last 5 lbs before the end of the year!

    Hey guys,

    How is everyone? Man what a week! Today I worked, I hardly ever work on Saturday's, but I wasn't able to work on Thursday or Friday, because I had a final and needed to study then take the final. So needless to say I needed the hours.

    I know that we don't have to publicize our weight, but I feel compelled to share it with you all. It was really scary, but I just had to see. I estimated I weighed 155, turns out I weigh 147. I know it sounds like yay I didn't gain as much as I thought, but truth be told I am very disappointed with myself. In the last 5 years I have gained 35 pounds, and in the last 4 months I have gained 17. I am feeling very desperate, that maybe I need to be hypnotized or something.

    Well thank you everyone for reading my rant. Best wishes everyone and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
