MAY 10 lb weight loss challange!!

Athena413

Red Team Captain reporting!!!

We had a good week overall. Unfortunately, we had a number of people not weigh in this week, and that's noted with an N/A. So I used the previous weigh-in. Unfortunately, they could've lost more and we wouldn't know (or be able to celebrate with them), or they could've gained and then these numbers would be skewed. So make sure to weigh-in!!! And please weigh in no later than SATURDAY night, so that I can post by SUNDAY. PLEASE NOTE: After 2 N/As next to your name you will be removed from the list. It's SOOOO important for you to message me your numbers because although I try to keep up with all of you there are so many of you. And for those of you who did not weigh in, I hope that you stick out this challenge. We're halfway there, and we're DEFINITELY skinnier than when we started.

CONGRATULATIONS to joie919, who has achieved her 10 pound loss already!!! And congratulations to all of us, for sticking with this challenge despite disappointing numbers, and not being where we want to be. Remember, we're going to get there!!! Keep on keeping on.

And now, without further ado, the numbers...

We're down almost 100 pounds, ladies and gents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOO proud of my team Here's to another fantastic week

I was out of town Thursday and Friday and didn't have a scale to weigh in on, but when I weighed in on Thursday morning I was back down to 255, so I'm only +1, not +3. Still sad that it's a + and not a -, but I'll get there!

I had some late entries -- But I wanted to make sure they got to see themselves in the chart. I'm so proud of everyone. This journey would be so easy if it's all we had to do everyday. But the reality is we all have lives in addition to getting healthy. I'm so impressed that everyone works so hard to keep everything balanced.

Remember to keep drinking lots of water -- and keep doing your jumping jacks. Athough I wouldn't recommend drinking a lot of water before jumping jacks. I had quite the odd sensation of water sloshing around last night lol.

I'm so proud of my group. Not only are we losing weight -- but I see my team members reaching out to support and encourage each other. I love getting to know each of you a little more as the weeks go by.

We did lose 3 mates -- but gained 4 -- Welcome!!! And I'm only missing a couple of people's weigh in for this week.


I'm really excited about the challenges this week and encourage everyone to above and beyond. I know we're from all over the world (which I love!!) I want to send out a special reminder to the folks seeing the temperatures get higher and higher -- Drink your Water!! We can all think of plenty of reasons to avoid exercise -- I don't want one of them to be dehydration.

Symptoms
•Dry or sticky mouth
•Low or no urine output; concentrated urine appears dark yellow
•Not producing tears
•Sunken eyes
•Markedly sunken fontanelles (the soft spot on the top of the head) in an infant
•Lethargic or comatose (with severe dehydration)
In addition to the symptoms of actual dehydration, you may also have vomiting, diarrhea, or the feeling that you "can't keep anything down," all of which could be causing the dehydration. (Source -- http://health.yahoo.net/channel/dehydration.html)

Major WOOT WOOTs to all the May Challenge Teams -- our numbers are looking amazing!!!

Actually gaining weight...BOO!
Missed working out for a couple weeks due to bronchitis.
Stress eating-being sick and bathroom remodeling.
But no excuses.
Got back into the gym last Friday and yesterday and plan on Wednesday and Friday this week too.
Hoping for the motivation with my name and weight in print!::embarassed:

Hey guys, how's it going to work with the Month ending on Tuesday? Are we reporting on Friday and then again on Tuesday? Or is tomorrow our last weigh-in? Good luck everyone with the last few days of the month anyhow!!

Yeah Tiffy the extra days will help out on this even though you have done such a wonderful job so far. you can do this heck even if you don't make the 10 lbs (but I know that you will work your butt off to get there) what you've done so far this month is outstanding!! be proud reguardless of what the next 4 days bring just stay on track and know you can do this!!!
