    BTW, my "new" exercise this week, is getting back to my JM DVDs (I have BFBM and 30DS). I haven't done either of them in a long time and they are such great burns. I hope to use them at least 2x this week in addition to my jogging and ultimate firsbee

    Hi everyone - can I still join this challenge? I know I'm a week late but I would love to give it a try! Looks like you are doing a great job with the spreadsheet and everything! Here are my numbers:

    (SW: 170)
    CW: 156
    GW: 145
    (Ultimate goal: 130)
    My NSV goal is to walk for 1 hour 5 days a week while it's still summer!

    Looks like I need to lose a little more than 1lb a week to reach my goal. I think I can do it, and hopefully even more! Good luck with the weigh-in tomorrow everyone! Next week's challenges sound great.

    Perfect timing on the challenge ideas as usual with this group! Since I'm off the running for the time being I have to find something else to do anyways and this will help me focus. For this week I'm going to do the Self magazine Your Best Body Fast workouts. There are 8 total on Hulu and I just put them all in my queue.

    So the birthday weekend has been a bit rough with the food, but good with the activity level so I'm not quite sure what to expect for the weigh in tomorrow. After 5 days of eating higher calories (3 intentional, 2 not) I'm going to go back down to my regular level and see what happens. Yesterdays calories got a bit out of control going out for drinks with my friends but the rest of the time I stayed in a reasonable range so I'm hoping no negative effects on the scale tomorrow!

    That's a great NSV!! My favorite success stories on here are when people post about going to the doctor after 6 months (or however long) on MFP, and have normalized their blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. and are able to come off their meds. That seems to be a really rewarding outcome of this whole process. :)

    Good luck tomorrow everyone!!
    Great new challenges Olivia...and yes I am cheering, lol. I usually don't have a problem getting in protein, unfortunately I'm a crazy cheese lover but have really been trying to watch that. I do love my peanut butter though...and usually have an egg in the morning and some type of protein at lunch and supper.
    Love the new exercise challenge as well...while I just recently started up the 30DS, I don't do it everyday, I get bored with it. I'm a lover of changing it up. I had talked about doing the No More Trouble Zones by Jillian, and now seems like the perfect time to start.
    Not sure if the scale will be kind to me tomorrow or not...TOM is here (booooo), and the shred ALWAYS makes me gain at first. But I will stay the course because only good things can come from it and I'm determined to break this big fat plateau I've been struggling with.

    I would love to make this my first Challenge! I'm having a hard time staying consistent, and this might help. I've been on a plateau for months, and am determined to get past this soon, as my husband and I have booked a trip to Hawaii in February, and would love to feel comfortable enough by then to not be worrying about how I look!

    WEEK 1 UPDATE: 135

    Eew Mondays are a horrible weigh in day for me. My start weight last week was 134. By Friday I was 132, but after this weekend I am back at 135. Weekends are awful for me, so I suppose my non scale goal should be not to let the weekends ruin my efforts. I'm soooo disappointed. On another note, my hubby and I just bought the Insanity DVDs. They should get in this week so I'm excited to start that.

    The spreadsheet is great! Thanks for keeping track of this! It sure looks like a lot of work!

    No loss/ no gain.

    But still plugging at it.

    I'm shifting from Thursday weigh-ins to Mondays so didn't expect a major change from my last weigh in.
