    Great job ladies!! Love the new addition to the challenge. I agree Monday is a tough day to weigh in, but it keeps me somewhat accountable over the weekend! Looks like there are a lot of posts I need to catch up on. Been trying to get on all morning and was having problems with the website. I will come back probably tomorrow and catch up. We are going out for our first date night to a baseball game tonight!! First night our little guy will be with a sitter!!! Trying to eat light so I can splurge a little at the game. Have a great day!! Check back tomorrow!

    7/11 159.6

    Well as I stated in my post for the morning I think I am done! I am not being successful anymore and am inching to the 200's again:( I think that this stress is far worse than just being upset over being fat! I think its just time for me to give in and ralize that this is my fate and I need to stop fighting it. But thanks for all your help and supposrt over this time

    NO I WILL NOT LET YOU! I will not allow you to give up on yourself! You have come too far to let yourself down!!! Today you will drink your 8 glasses of water, you will take your children outside and play with them, and will read a motivational quote to get you out of this funk! one step at the time!

    Lori I agree with Mimi! You can not and will not give up! You are too worth it to give up!


    Thanks ladies. This has been a bad 2 weeks for me and it just seems to be getting worse. I am thankful for people caring! I am doing this weeks challenge, all 100 of them.....we will see how things go?!?!

    Had a great 1st day of August; im remotivated and rededicated! I did not get around to the challenge though :frown: going to get that going tonight! Drink plenty of water :drinker: burn at least 1500 calories this week, stay within your calorie range, and get to jacking, pushing, and ups!!! Wow, if we do all of that we will be hot tamales in no time!!

    Total weight loss: ___2.8___lbs

    My goal was to be 120 lbs by August first. 120.2 is pretty darn close!! I was actually 120.0 on Friday morning, but we had a party here yesterday so I wasn't really expecting it to drop lower than that. In fact, I'm just pretty happy I only went back up 0.2 lbs! I am super happy, happier than I've ever been! I bought a size 2 skirt on Saturday that actually fits! Four months ago I was a wearing a 10 and a year ago (just after I had my daughter) I was wearing a 12. I have 5 more pounds to go for my goal weight, and just under 6 weeks is my goal to get there!!

    woot woot!! u are almost there!

    Wow... Good morning ladies!! You all are on fire! Loss or no loss your spirits are soaring and THIS is what its all about!!

    I have slacked last week on my exercise. I only worked out on Monday last week and that was it! Nothing else, nada, zip, zero.!! Yesterday was a holiday here and whilst I didn't do a workout I did some cleaning and pretended to be a mason, doing some plastering of concrete walls etc.. lol... but I didn't log it.. Anyways, I did eat fairly well so even without exercise I still lost... not as much as I usually do but heck whatever it is I'll take it!

    So here's my updated stats:

    Anyways, here are my stats thus far:
    Week 7/11/11-- 140 lbs
    Week 7/18/11-- 139 lbs
    Week 7/25/11-- 137.5
    Week 8/01/11-- 136 (1llb closer)
    Week 8/08/11--
    Week 8/15/11--
    Week 8/22/11--

    Good Morning Everyone!

    Thanks soo much Mimi for your hard work with the spreadsheet! It's so great to see on the spreadsheet how far we all have come as a group. Even if the scale hasn't budged as much as we all would have liked, we are making healthy/active choices daily. Everyone is working so hard to get to their goals. I am certain that the results will come!

    I love the new mini-challenge. 50 situps, 25 push-ups, 25 jumping-jacks 5X/week will really force me to branch out a little bit from my typical routine. It's nice to change up the workout routine and "shock" our bodies into submission :tongue:

    Have a wonderful week ladies!!

    you girls are so motivating. everytime i read through the message boards i get revamped and excited to be on this journey with everyone! ok so this week is 64 oz of water, 1500 cal exercise burn, and 50 situps/ 25 pushups /50 jumpingjacks. and there should be one more but i was off line for a week and missed it. so if somebody wants to tell me- great otherwise i will be keeping up w the other three goals.

    Thanks Latoya and Mimi for the chart! Krysten you are soo close! Just finished my sit ups and push ups and exercise (just walking, with stroller). Having some friends over for lunch and then we are heading out of town in the morning. I won't be back on until Monday. Wish me luck! I will do my best to stay on track! Have a great week!!!

    Hi Ladies,
    I did my situps and pushups (modified hehe) last night but completely forgot the jumping jacks! Guess I will be doubling up tonight :smile: I love this part of our challenge - it helps me spice things up a little from my usual routine. Hope you all have a wonderful week!
