    Don't blame you for letting your knee continue to rest. I'm sure that you are going to do great by sticking to the rest of the challenges. I'm proud of you for planning ahead and packing your meals. Great job lady!

    I would love to join, I tried this once but never kept it up lol. My goal is to be 165 by Christmas (3bmi points lower), my current weight is 184. I know it's not exactly 30 lbs (or close) but if I get more than my goal of 19 I won't complain! I hope I can keep up with the daily challenges, I have an exam next week so no partying for me tomorrow anyways haha.

    so for both Friday and Saturday I failed miserably at exercising. I had plans to, but they fell through on both days.
    I did have 8 cups of water on both days and I'm trying to work up to 10 cups.

    I have a real difficult time putting me on my list... something I've always had a difficult time with...

    I'm nervous to weigh in this week. I didn't do as well as last week. I'm really just hoping for a loss at this point! Oh well...there's always next week and I plan on being super good today. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    The challenge for today is the same as yesterday but today is my off day from exercise since it's Sunday. I may get some in...but probably not a full exercise day like normal.

    Hope everyone has a great day today! Happy Halloween!
