    Let's have a last chance workout tonight. Challenge yourself to burn 500 calories by midnight. You can do it all at once. Or break it up and do 250 calorie one hour, take a break come back and do the rest. However you want to do it. Let me know if you finished your challenge. Then reward yourself with something nice, but not with food. To lose 50 lbs by July 1st thats an average of 2 lbs a week until July 1st. Ask yourself do you think your on track for that? Everyone whatever you set your mind to that's what you will recieve. Im hitting the gym right after work. Ill be back to post tonight that I finished my 500 calories burned. Hope you all do too. :)


    yesterday i was able to spend two hours in the gym burning 1164 calories . I am down 2.6lb this week . YaY!

    This morning I woke up like it was Christmas, I was so excited to weigh in! I got on the scale and it said 215 !!!! This is the lowest I have been since I was in my 1st trimaster of pregnancy in spring 2008. I have 5 lbs left of pregnancy weight then Im on my way to my ultimate goal. This week for eating I ate Lean cuisines often. Last month I did the "Flat Belly Diet" and dropped 11 pounds that month. Im thinking that I might be going back on that this week. But with the 3,500 challenge I know we will drop some heavy weight next week. Can you imagine if we lose our 50 pounds by June 1st? How great would it feel to tell people you got to the finish line a month early?? Have awesome week this week.

    Drinking extra water can relieve water bloat. Also I recommend doing the 4 day "Flat Belly Diet" jumpstart, that will help get rid of belly bloat and extra water weight. Also thank you carla for posting your 1100 burn. That motivates us that we all can do this. I love hearing stories of what people did to succeed. This week that's why I stressed promoting positivety. Reward yourself with something this week everyone. Just not with food. The reason I say that is because we all are trying to change our mindset. Food is suppose to keep us alive not be a treat or reward. Because most of us we used food as rewards for things in our lives and that is what has caused us to be here today. By changing the mindset that food is just for our energy and health, you will see the weight come off of you so fast you wont have time to blink!

    Weigh in everyone, the chart will be posted on MONDAY :)

    If we lost 2 lbs everyweek by July 1st we would be at the 50 lbs lost. So anything you lose over 2 lbs every week, is just that little reminder that you will reach your goal faster than July 1st. I would love to be at 60 lbs lost before our deadline.

    I'm a little sad today but I'm not giving up. I believe my body was in startvation mode so I am trying to turn it around. I understand with that you could have some weight gain. I stayed under my calories goal all week and I exercised everyday. I started the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred on Thursday and I know I am working hard bc it hurts to sit down or stand up. I am going to keep on keeping on and I pray that my body recognizes the change soon and I see dramatic results all of a sudden.

    weight on 1/1 243
    weight on 1/8 245

    I gained 2 lbs this week but I'm not going to be discouraged. I can do this!
