    Ok...I've learned my lesson...no more weekends of complete letting loose! I'm up this week to 129.4. I think that's +1.8 but I don't remember what last week's weigh- in was for sure. UGH!!!!!!!

    Mini challenge for thursday:
    1) under calories
    2) under carbs
    3) no chocolate candy

    Got my butt to the gym and had lots of fun during zumba class. Loved it!

    Today should be a good day. Nervous about tomorrow. Mom is coming over along with friends to celebrate hubby's surprise bday party. Mom = good food, help me Lord!

    Hit 10 pounds loss for this challenge and I am 1/3 of the way to my goal (at least from when I started MFP). I am hoping to end this challenge in the 160's even if it is 169.9 :-). If I don't cheat too bad this weekend and stay focused I think I can do it.

    I'm back up to 163.6. I CANNOT get rid of this 163! I guess after the weekend I had and last night I should have expected a gain, but yesterday I was at 162.6 so it's a little upsetting. I think I'm just going to have to start packing my own dinner when I go to my Dad's house on Thursday nights because it's always takeout with them and it's totally messing up my Friday weigh-ins....

    I just found out our team member CarthagoDelendaEst has deactivated her account =( I feel bad for her. I don't know what was going on but I know she was stressed. She and I exchaged private messages almost daily for a while, she needed a good mentor :-( I hope she'll be okay!

    That makes me sad, too. It is such a constant struggle, and if you're not ready to commit, you're not ready. Or if one of the million things that goes wrong in life derails you, you just have to get through it and try again. Maybe she'll be back when she takes a break. One of my friends on here has dropped off. She checks in now and again, but she doesn't chat anymore and she's not doing weigh-ins anymore.

    Mini challenge results: 1) 465 cals burned (2175/2000 for the week) 2) Way under on sodium (assuming I follow the plan for the rest of the day) 3) under on calories 4) 64 oz of water and counting!

    Had a really good week this week. Treating myself to a glass of wine with dinner! Happy Friday everyone!

    Why, oh WHY does mfp have freaking Dominos ads on the top of the pages. Couldn't they find a healthier alternative for an advertiser? Is Dominos preying on us, willing us to fall off the wagon and order a delivery? lol

    Hey guys, i'm choosing not to weigh in this week because things quickly got out of hand towards the end and i don't want to be discouraged. THe past two days for me have been the worst i've ever had since joining mfp. I'm pretty sure it was hormonal (because it's that TOTM) but wow, i went crazy and ate way too much :( I couldn't even log it in. But i'm back on track today and i'm feeling a bit better. It's just scary because i let myself go so far and i realised that i can't get rid of this emotional problem i have with food by myself so i'm going to look into counselling to help.
    And Kerri, i can't believe CarthagoDelendaEst deactivated her account :( i was wondering where she went. She's the only other college student i know on here. I hope she'll come back soon, she was doing so so well. Do you know if i send her a message she'll still be able to get it???
    Here's to the last week girls :D We've done so well for staying with it (despite the ups and downs). I'm off to the gym now because i need those endorphines to kick in so i'll have a smile on my face once again.

    Managed to surprise the hubby last night at the restaurant, he had no idea the kids were coming in from out of town to be there for his birthday ... then we all went bowling. Bowling? Seriously? It was soooo long since I did that. Well except for on my Wii ... it's really not the same :laugh: Way Fun :)

    I wondered this too! I did some research and actually MFP doesn't have ads. I mean they do, but they are derived from your own personal computer. Mine was always Groupons, Jillian Michaels ads and for random things I had googled! Try deleting the cookies and internet files from your internet. (If you don't know how to do this, message me) and maybe it'll help! It did for me!

    I have had such a great couple of weeks and then this past week....only 0.2 lbs! GRRRR! And I seriously worked my booty off all week! Getting up at 4am to workout and then working out again at night. We did go out to eat a couple times, but I was VERY good. Sometimes I just don't get it! I have only lost 4.2 lbs through this entire challenge. But I am determined to make it at least 5 lbs lost by the end! So this week I gotta do it! My goal is to be 140 by Friday morning!!

    Kerri are you going to do another Challenge?

    I'm laughing at the advert comments... my adverts are Walt Disney World!!! lol

    On the weight note, I am not at all happy this week but choosing to ignore the scale as according to it on Friday morning I had put on about 4lb which is ridiculous given what I ate, drank and exercised!! Anyway, I am feeling really bloated and water retaining around my tummy. No idea why, haven't changed what I have been eating but I def haven't been drinking as much water so maybe thats it.

    Onwards and upwards, I tried on my shorts from last June when I was about 10lb heavier (and felt skinny so how does that work!!?!) and the legs are beginning to be a bit bigger around the thighs as opposed to just mega baggy in the waist. The running and spinning must be doing something for my legs!!! Woo! Uk sz 10 shorts here I come!!

    I REALLY want to start up another challenge! It's been really helpful for me and I know others as well. I have a few requests though, for those that want to participate.
    1. Send me your weights the day they are due. I spend lots and lots of time finding out people that don't weigh in and message them. I feel bad for having to track people down but if you don't put a weight in the spreadsheet it completely messes everything up.
    2. Participate in the mini challenges and/or post on the forum occasionally.. What are you up to? What's working for you? WHAT ARE YOUR STRUGGLES? This is all about helping people. I don't want to track numbers, that is no fun. I already have job. I want this interactive and for everyone to help and learn about one another.
    3. Be supportive - no negativity. No one in our challenge has been but I've been apart of some smaller challenges that I didn't like. People think they know everything and I don't like that!

    We started this 3MonthChallenge with almost 80 participants and now there are 36. I think the next group should be smaller, maybe no more than 30.

    We also need a new name!

    I was going to post this criteria and ideas next week when I posted the final results (maybe I still will) but we can def talk about it now! I think if the really eager girls from this group want to continue and each of us pick a friend who wasn't in the original challenge but know would be a good team member then that might be a good way to expand to others. I know a few ladies that are AWESOME and supportive and on every day that want to be a part of this! =)

    Today concludes my Insanity challenge! I did my final fit test this morning but forgot to weigh in and check measurements first thing this morning so I'll share my final results sometime tomorrow...I was super happy with the changes from the Fit Test totals!

    I can't wait to start up a new routine which will include JM's Ripped in 30 and running for the net 30 days...then round 2 of Insanity!

    have a great weekend everybody and kick butt next week for the final weigh in ;))

    I'm game for another challenge, and I just thought of a name. "Summer Hotties!" I have been doing really well since I started, especially considering that I haven't been exercising since January. We had our elliptical delivered on Wednesday, but it's still in the box because my husband has had a ridiculous work schedule the last few days. I am hoping we'll have it done and I can start fresh on Monday morning.

    Maybe for a challenge, we could all try to lose a certain % of body weight in 3 months? Like 5% or 10%? Or maybe 7.5% - right in between. It's all relative.

    Anyway, thanks for all the hard work you put in each week, tracking all the weights and keeping tabs on everyone. We appreciate it!

    I am definitely up for another challenge. This group has really helped me stay on track and made me much more accountable. I think the criteria posted sounds reasonable. Kerri- you have done an awesome job keeping this going. If there is anything I can do to help you in the next challenge let me know.

    Saturday Mini challenge results: 1) 0 cals burned (2175/2000 for the week) 2) Way OVER on sodium 3) way OVER on calories 4) 40 oz of water.

    Ate out 3 meals today which is never good when you are watching. Went to a tattoo convention so my hubby could get a tattoo and couldn't bring water in so didn't really get much water today. Too sore to exercise. Hopefully I will wake up with a better attitude tomorrow.
