50 crunches, eh?? Ugh. You know, I'm realizing all the strength training that I DON"T like to do pretty quickly on this challenge!! Lol.. Ah well, it's only 2 days, right?

I hate jumping jacks too! I tried the 30DS and loved it but for some reason didn't keep going. I am going to restart the 30DS this coming Monday for sure.

Here is an update from the main SAHMU page...

Hi Ladies,

We are going to add a new rule to this challenge:
If a member does not log in or comment on your team thread for more than 3 days, they will be replaced. Part of the journey of losing weight is having support. If a team member is going out of town or need a few personnal days please let your captain know and this will not apply to you. Everyone must weigh in on Wednesdays, if you are unable to on Wednesday please post your weight along with your points on Tuesday. "

I'm sure we can all do this....seems easy compared to the exercise!! Good luck!

Thats a good idea. If a spot opens up, my sis in law would join.

sisa2324

Hi everyone, we have had a spot open up. Stonesmomishot wanted to stay with us, but didn't think she could fully commit with her other obligations. Sad to see her go, but that means we need one more member. Karie has said that she has a few people interested in joining, but also said that joshchrisandmom's sil would be fine. As long as we have someone who is able to fully commit it doesn't matter to me. Let me know what you guys think and we'll get our new member started.
We Ended up with 20 points and 6.4 lbs lost!

sisa2324

Correction...6.8 lbs

daisyelaine

Yaaay us!! Too bad about stonesmomishot though. Whoever we get is fine with me though!!

Btw sisa2324-- you need more on your profile!! I mean, I already know you're awesome and all, but how can I stalk you more for the challenge?? Lol...

CoachMelissaDi

Getting to know your teammates!!!

sisaac2324: She keeps up the team and that is hard to do! She is a great team captain and I'm sure a great momma!
smalltowngirl78:She works REAL hard at what she does with such little time in between! She loves kids and takes great care of them. She works real hard at working out too.
thefishers4: She wants to be a photographer and fits that in while taking care of 2 little ones. She works so hard at trying to lose weight and keeps me inspired!

**I will write more with whoever joins! I wrote my sis in law Kim and told her a spot was open!

thefishers4

I am happy with whomever we get. I hated to see the other one go too But it is true that we need support. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day as I know I am soo far. Keep up being the best losers you can be as I have faith in all of us.

GoOOOoooOOOOd Morning!!!!! Man, I am wired today!! Got my Shred and 2 miles in already.. and I'm not dead!! Of course, sitting down to go the bathroom may be a challenge, but I'm looking at the positive side!!
Just wanted to check in and say Hi-- you're all awesome, beautiful strong women who are wise enough to take care of yourselves AND your amazing children. Be proud of yourselves-- that's an amazingly important job ( and REALLY hard somedays!!).

That's it for now-- I gotta run, and won't be around much today-- have daycare kids, plus my house is a fricken' tornado zone. And.. well, I' should really take advantage of my endorphin high while it lasts!! Lol..

sisa2324

Elaine...Ahhhh!! I'm trying to keep up with you! I did the 30ds and 1.2 miles on the treadmill. 2 miles...good work!! 30ds isn't getting mug easier yet, but it's not getting harder.

Melissa- any word from your sil? Karie was asking since I think she has a few people waiting.

Keep up all the good work ladies!

CoachMelissaDi

Go ahead and tell Karie that one of her girls can join. My sis in law is not going to be able to do it. I thought she would but she said nope! Sorry for the wait!

CoachMelissaDi

Not a problem at all. Here's hoping for a good day tomorrow for you!

I contacted karie so hopefully we have our new member soon.

daisyelaine

Melissa-- oh no!! Will be thinking about ya.. and really, take whatever you need! I would be an emotional basketcase-- good luck!! And to top it off its TOM? Crrrraaaaappy.

Steph-- Yeah, I might be a go-getter, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea!! I'm DYING now... sitting down to go to the bathroom is torture!!:sad: If I can make it through the weekend, with all the distractions ( John is taking Matthew to his first Bomber game tomorrow, Emma's birthday on Sunday, I have a meeting in Brandon on Monday....) I'll be pretty impressed. At this point, curling up and crying seems like a valid option.

Update on the boob issue! LOL!
Well I went for the ultrasound today and the tech is not supposed to tell me what she sees (the doc is supposed to do that) but, she told me a little anyway so I could make it thru the weekend sane. She said that it doesnt show up as nothing but breast tissue. Like I said in my newsfeed, I pray she is right. I will find out monday from my doc and I will let you all know! Oh yeah, and on monday (since I did nothing this week so far) I am kickin' some butt in the gym!!!! I am gonna try to not eat bad this weekend while I am out shopping and pray I lost some weight! At least I can contribute that way! LOL! Thanks everyone for caring!
