    very proud of this, didn't think I was gonna lose 3.8 lbs this week, missed a lot of time at the gym, but the positive for last week, I drank a lot of water, and made some better food choices. This week I accept the challenge to burn 3500 calories, and to continue drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day, and really really watch what food crosses these lips.

    I have had some health issues and haven't been able to exercise as much this week so I've just really focused on nutrition - staying under my calorie goals and geting as many nutrients as possible.

    That means I'm down 6! (That other one didn't stay) but it's fine. I've been working hard on this and staying within and under my calories every single day. I'm really proud of that!

    Congrats to all the losers!! :drinker:

    I'm proud that I went to the gym for the first time in my life and took a cardio class!! I was really afraid to go, but I forced myself into going, and I made a new friend. :happy: Now I'm really feeling the after burn...

    Seems like everyone is doing really well. Congrats all around!

    I :heart: the Secret too! My mom and I are listening to the tape in our car. :happy: (I have Rhonda Byrne quoted on my wall of inspiration.)

    Speaking of NO, my mom asked me if I wanted my choice of a sugary drink the other day, and as I was reaching for it, I was like, No, and stopped myself. Then I reached for it again, and said No! Haha, now I've been saying No all the time when I'm grocery shopping. Lol. :laugh:

    Oh, and with the 3500 challenge - I'm just gonna try to burn as much as possible. I don't know if I'm motivated enough to reach 3500, since I've only had one workout since New Year's. :tongue:

    I was very proud of myself for not having any fast food, but then I slipped on Friday. I can't let that beat me up like I usually do, I can't change it just have to move forward!! Plan for the coming week is to drink more water.

  • Thank you everyone for checking in. Look at the weight you all have lost! See you are fully capable of anything that you set your mind to. If you haven't weighed in today yet, please do so today. I will delete anyone who hasn't. I am not trying to be mean, but I have 2 jobs and a 2 yr old, so my time is so limited, so I will only spend the time I have helping people who are serious about trying to lose weight. If you don't show up, that tells me your not serious about trying to lose weight. Today I burned 600 calories at the gym by alternating treadmill and elliptical. I went to the gym with a friend and as we talked on the machines, the time flew by. And I looked down and saw 250 cals burned then went to the treadmill for the other 350. I have 2,900 calories left to go this week. If you do this challenge I think you will get a big weight loss at next saturdays weigh in. The 2nd week is the toughest to lose in any weight loss plan. Whatever you did this week, double it. You can do it. I believe that all of you can lose a min of 10 lbs this month!!

    I did Fire 60 today and burned 670 calories! That means I've got 2830 more to burn by next Saturday.
