    I would love to join this challenge. I am 39 and work a full time desk job. I started back in May trying to lose 100 pounds by the time I turn 40 in June next year. But I got off track a couple of times and have only managed to lose 23 pounds so far. So I may not make the 100 but will still be giving it my best shot to lose what I can. I workout 4 days a week, doing mostly cardio with a little strength training.

    YEAH ME!!!

    A group wanted to go out for lunch and go to this fast food Chinese place. We used to go quite a bit, but this time I chose Subway and had a good lunch instead of the 10 million calories I could have had! It is all about celebrating the small wins!!

    AWESOME JOB!!! :bigsmile:
    Chinese is a big weakness for me.
    I'm eating a Heathy choice steamers. Before everyone freaks on me about the sodium in it. I am always in the green on the sodium everyday... I cook very low sodium at home.
  • ran and did my master workout plan (see blog) this morning. Eating wonderfully today too. Feeling great!

    With the list added and everyone's weight on their for sure makes me more motivated!!! Love it!!
  • I think I'm going to the gym again today. Not doing strength training is making me stir crazy so I think another cardio work out might be in order. I feel lazy lol. Guess that's a good thing in a way.
  • Can you put me down please

    Good day today so far! I went to the gym and did the following:

    100 pushups (wall ones..I'm trying!)
    20 Minutes Cardio Treadmill
    15 Minutes Weight Training (leg day)
    20 Minutes Basketball

    I'm feeling much better than yesterday. I've had 7 cups of water so far, and more to come before the end of the night! Thanks for this challenge! I'm so excited to see what we will all do this week!

    WOW! This is awesome. :bigsmile: Can't wait till next Monday to see how well we all do. Watching that total number shrink.

    I just finshed out todays food diary and I was slightly under on my calories. :bigsmile:
    I messed up and didn't get to my aqua class. I would have gotten there about 15 mins late...bad idea.

    Remember: This is not for today or tomorrow but for the rest of our lives. We are worth every bit of the effort.:flowerforyou:
  • I would like to join the challenge. I'm going back to Florida in June to do some more sky diving. I have a thyroid issue, and my weakness was drinking soft drinks. Today is day 4, not soft drinks and I have been walking and doing sit ups. I hope I don't tire out quick.
