We will weight in on Fridays and whoever loses the most will create the Challenge fo the next week.
The Challenges will so Monday-Sunday giving the winner of the challenge a few days to post it..

SW 3/18/11 is 183
Current weight 3/25/11 181.2

This week I have been to Pure Barre Sunday-Thursday and worked out with my trainer. Almost every day I got at least 60 ounces of water in!!

jojowink

Had an OK week- I have been drinking TONS of water- even over my 80 oz.

This morning weighed in at 161

Hope everyone else had a good week!

jenn2350

I was able to stick with the water and calories, but I only got to work out 3 days.

I didn't lose anything and am still where I was at.

HotSouthernMess

:grumble: i had a rough 2 weeks and gained 2 lbs! lets hope this friday i see some results!!!

KiWi2011

I finished last week at 234!! This week I'm tracking this week at 232.8.
Having a pretty bad week this week. Life stress is really starting to take it's toll. Struggling to exercise and eat healthy when I'm just so tired.

If I can just get out of 230's at this point I'll be estatic!

jojowink

Hoping people are staying on this!!! ????

I'm down to 159.2 as of Friday morning. Found out yesterday my husband won a trip to FL beginning of June. OH Boy!!! I will have to be in a bathing suit VERY soon!! That is MOTIVATION to stay on track & hoping this "challenge" will too!!!

WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!!!

@KiWi- hope the stresses are going away!! Stay Strong:)

KiWi2011

Still pushing forward and feeling pretty good. Last week I was at 230 after gaining 2 lbs after two weeks of just blech. Now I'm back on track and can't wait to weigh in tomorow!

Going to visit my husband in Pensecola so I'm extremely excited. Waiting to buy the killer bathing suit right before I go down.
