    sorry this wasn't posted yesterday! we were traveling all day and i didn't have time to log in before leaving town. if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO WALK OR RUN 3 MILES (OR 5k) AND BURN OFF THOSE EXTRA HOLIDAY YUMMIES. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun working up a sweat! :)

    I did a 5k around my neighborhood today. I did my 5 min warm up and was able to run the rest of the time. Now I need to work on my time.

    Have a Very Merry Christmas!

    12/17 - 211,2 (+) -- sodium from yesterday, I'm hoping -- ugh!
    12/24 - 211.2 -- I guess better than gaining MORE?

    I went for a walk today. Not five K but probably about half that. I'm just proud to have gone out at all. It would have been way easier to stay in and eat and drink in my cozy apartment! Thanks for the challenge! Will do again tomorrow!

    Valentine's goal weight: 130

    My name is Cecy and I'm 21 years old.
    I currently weigh 145.
    My goal is to weigh 130 by Valentine's Day.
    For fun I like to jog, take pictures, spend time with family, friends, and my boyfriend.
    I'm a full-time undergrad student graduating in May 2011 looking to get into HR.

    Goal Weight: 104

    My name is Emiko and I joined this site to lose my last pounds of flab. I initially lost over 60 lbs and have now hit a plateau. The last 10-15 lbs are getting extremely hard to lose and I feel like the fat is permanently attached to my body, and the scale doesn't seem to want to move. This challenge sounds like fun, and a great way to keep me accountable. Otherwise, I like spending time with my family and friends, and aside from chocolate (the obvious), I have a serious addiction to makeup and fragrance. :)

    I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I'm ready to get my eating and exercise back to normal. Also, I'd love to get my house back to normal...boxes and paper and gifts all over...I'm trying to ignore it for at least today.

    I'm weighing in a day early because tomorrow I'm going to disneyland and I dont think I'll be online. So as you can see Christmas obviously took place lol. I'm kinda dissapointed but also kind of think it was worth it to just relax and enjoy myself. I will soon be on track again. Tomorrow wont be so bad because the last time I went to disneyland I walked over 10 miles and burned about 3000 calories! ( I know that thanks to my gowearfit haha). Then I plan on eating and drinking it up on new years eve and then new years the resolutions begin. Oh and I took before pictures so hopefully in 7 weeks I'll be prepared to take after pictures.

    Man this is frustrating! I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! I hoping that my before and after pictures show me something that the scale isn't. I've been working so hard and eating so well, if I don't see some results soon I might just :sad:

    So back to the challenge, no partying over new year for me since I am working all of it so should be able to stay in track now.... 8lbs in 7 weeks.... I can do this.

    As for new years resolutions I only have one and that is to reach my goal weight in 2011.

    Good luck everyone with your weigh ins xxx
