    I didn't do as well as I could have. I was sick most of the week, my Mom had surgery, and the kids had mandatory evening meetings at school that I had to attend. So needless to say, I had a lot of late night dinners, and virtually no exercise. Last week, I weighed in at 257; this week, I weighed in at 256.8 (no surprise!)

    This week, I plan to change things up a bit or I'll NEVER get things moving again!!

    Have a GREAT week, everyone!

    Sorry, I forgot to post yesterday. I was disappointed to have only lost 1.5 pounds. I know I should be happy with any weight loss, but like they always say on Biggest Loser "I worked so much harder than 1.5 pounds." I guess my weekend slip hurt me more than I thought. Oh well, I'll just be more disciplined this weekend.

    Starting Weight: 162
    Currently: 160.5
    Goal for Challenge: 142

    I'm in too. I've got my graduation ball at the start of June and i'd love to be 20lbs lighter!
    I am currently 167 lbs and trying to do some kind of exercise (usually work out dvd) every day but as i'm in my last month of uni work may get in the way... this will be a great motivation!

    How is everyone else doing on the challenge?

    I'm not doing great with the walking challenge as i'm trying to finish off my dissertation and am barely leaving the house at the moment BUT i have done between 30mins-1hour exercise every day.... so although I wont be meeting the 10 miles a week goal hopefully i'll make up for it once more of my work is handed in!

    Good morning everyone!

    I'd like to say thanks tbrew811 for setting the challenge this week, it really got me motivated too and I managed to do 13.5 miles. I'm going to keep it up this week now because it's an enjoyable routine.
    I lost one pound this week and I'm delighted!. Good luck everyone!

    Okay, I didn't meet the challenge this week! Life intervened... I know I have to include exercise as part of life. I weighed 181.8, up 0.8 pounds. This week, my goal is to track my food, exercise, and lose some weight. I hope to meet the 10 miles this week. Have we posted a new challenge for this week yet?

    Last week was a bad week for me. Luckily I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't lose any either. Still at 160.5...so close to the 150s again. Now that all the celebrations are over for a while, I'm ready to get serious and shed some pounds!

    I'm really happy with this week i've lost 4 pounds (although i had put on weight the week before and went back a step so technically am only 2 pounds lighter) BUT this group is really motivating me to exercise. i'm still eating the same but the exercise is really helping me kick start my new weight loss.

    Great job everyone. I weighed the same on Monday. I am going to weigh myself tomorrow to see if my day to weigh is Wednesday. Unfortunately, I only did 4.5 miles last week (I hurt my knee). It's much better now, and I've done two miles this week.

    There hasn't been a challenge set for the week. However, I would like to continue the 10 mile challenge and incorporate drinking 8 glasses of water per day. I've drank 5 so far today (and had coffee). I am cutting out coffee/tea this week.

    Let's go everyone!!!! Keep up the fabulous work
