**THE LEAN BY LABOR DAY CHALLENGE IS FULL**
Hello All,
Well, I am loving reading everyone's intros! It is so hard though to say "no" to people now that we're full - but I know if I don't the group could get too large, and some needing support could get lost in the shuffle. So, we are officially full - 28 waiting to hear back from a morning poster who was on the fence about joining.
To answer a question - YES - start counting your points today with last night's sleep counting for today's tally.
Unless I missed a starting weight on the boards, or one was recently sent to my message box, I need starting weights from:
Pam3

becca0211
1girl4boys
brittanywineland
babydbones
lannr02

If it was right in your post, and I forgot to jot it down, if you could please message me the number, or repost - that would be great!
We are in the midst of a heatwave where I live - and I'm melting!! No AC (we have baseboard heat, so central air would be big $$).... anyway...
Melissa - Wow, you've been through a lot! Way to persevere! 30 day shred is one of my favorite workouts!
Top - wow, you really are a "tops king!" great inspiration! I'm sure you'll hit that goal of 10#'s down
Rebecca - you'll be at your brother's wedding full of confidence after this challenge!
Ashley - you are taking great steps for your health - and wow! High school weight is awesome!
A_Fresh_Start - love that you're embracing your new life
Kelly - I know these boards can be overwhelming by times, but just jump right in. Some days you may have time to read every post - other days, just enough time to check in & let everyone know how you're doing. I bet checking in here will help break you out of that plateau
Dory - you'll be looking great for that reunion!
Robin - so glad the timing of your mission to health & this challenge worked out!
Katy - wow, you must have a busy schedule! Great way to fit in budget friendly exercise!
Vanessa - impressive workout schedule! I need to establish a routine myself!
indigoangel - Amazing workout today! That hill sounds intense!
Phyllis - great job with your weight loss since January!
Jen (jenbk2) - boy can I identify with needing to find that time for yourself!
Renee - great progress so far. How do you like 30 day shred? It's one of my fav's!
Pam - love your avatar! It's so pretty!
Nancy - so sorry to hear about your mom passing. I just can't imagine!
Jen - (jenrod1118) so happy to hear your mom was blessed with a kidney. On the other hand, so sorry to hear about your MIL's illness. That must be very stressful!
If I didn't catch anyone else's intro - I'll be on the look out for it
Looking forward to an amazing week!!
Hugs, Amy0 -
So I just tore into a head of lettuce while in the process of making my daily salad and...the lettuce was infested with spiders! A whole family including the mamma!! Gross!
So please, if you are a salad person like me, pay careful attention to your veggies and fruits when you are cleaning them.
OMG! I do not know if I could have maintained any sense of calm. I would be freaked by the spiders, bummed that my meal plan was thrown off kilter... not happy! Sounds like you handled things better than I would have!0 -

I don't believe I introduced myself earlier.
I'm Deanna and I'm 28 years old. I've been married for 8 years now. And we have 3 amazing kids. ds(8) ds(4) and dd(2). I didn't have a weight issue growing up as I was always small. But when I got pregnant wiht my first, I gained exactly 100 pounds. I was 102 before I got pregnant and 202 when I went to have my son. And then I never lost it all and then I got pregnant again and then same, didn't lose, and got pregnant again. Well, I'm done now!! No more babies in this house! I have to lose the weight! We moved from NY to FL in September and vowed I was going to get healthier! Well, I've lost 23 pounds since then and am still trying!! I hit a plataeu and am so ready to say Goodbye!!!0 -

How many calories do you burn with the wii zumba??? I am looking for a non gym day alternative exercise p.s. The post board is a little overwhelming for me as this is my first time using it so any helpful hints would be great!
I use this site to calculate my zumba calories for wii

I do not think that I would ever be able to look at lettuce of any kind ever again if this happened to me, I would have had a heart attack. I am going to erase this mental image from my head, or I fear I will not be able to eat a salad ever again.0 -

Good morning lean ones!
Wow - I am loving how many points people are getting in! Great work!!
As Vanessa asked - sharing daily points is optional - if you could send me your weekly total on weigh-in day I can crown the points King or Queen of the week.
I love seeing everyone's points for the day - very inspiring!!
I got in 4.5 yesterday. I really need to start getting up early in the AM - it's truly the only time I would be able to carve our for myself on a consistent basis. I'm working on hubby to change his work-hours in the fall so we can fit in some consistent late afternoon family exercise time at the YMCA (don't belong now, but they usually run a join special in the fall).
Karen, Nancy, Ashley, Indigo & Kelly - great day of points!
Kelly - I love the 30 day shred, because it is a quick but intense workout. It is a Jillian Michaels DVD, and the way she breaks it up makes it doable. There are 3 different levels - so 3 different workouts all in 1 DVD. They take about 20-30 minutes total. Great for when you can only carve out a short amount of time for your workout.
Deanna - those babies really do take a toll on the body! I am trying to work my way out of "post baby" weight (5 years later) and back to my "highest" pre-pregnancy weight.
Have a great day today! With every choice you make today, choose yourself!!
Hugs,
Amy 0 -
