    So this week has been great for me. I've lost a couple pounds and celebrated by buying a new shirt that I probably wouldn't have bought a couple of weeks ago. Loosing weight... even if it's only a couple of pounds... gives me so much more confidence and just makes me feel great about myself. This challenge has been hard for me but I am sticking with it. Good luck to everyone!

    Monday- completed challenge
    Tuesday- completed challenge
    Wednesday- completed challenge
    Thursday- well on my way... have a good day everyone! :)

    Working on my water and fruits/veggies and trying to make the best of today! Hope you are all doing the same!!!! :bigsmile:

    Hey I'm in Jersey too! :-)

    Need to get my veggies in today! And chug some more... did great all week (even though the scale doesn't show it... don't wanna blow it today!)

    I am considering posting the chart again with all of the updated information and stats in it before we start with our weigh-ins tomorrow. This way people can see what I'm still missing and be able to provide the information.

    Do you think I should? Or should I wait until the next round? :huh:

    Remember all, weigh-ins start tomorrow. :embarassed: You can weigh-in anytime between tomorrow and Sunday. Just please make sure I have it all by Monday so I can get the updated chart posted.

    I'm excited to see all the changes the water has made for all of us!

    Oh Man - I dont know how to do the Quote thing!!!! I better have once of my teenagers help me :grumble: Anyway to my CCC pal yramesor333 and great cook!

    You have it all right!!! I have been there many times and I know how you feel. WE just have to stay in the present and take it one challenge at a time. It sounds like you house is set up right and getting rid of soda and crap in the house is great. Do you think you can treat yourself to a diet soda??? My fav is Fresca :drinker: I only enjoy one here and there...but if it's more it's ok since there is no sodium or calories.

    Oh Boy and the weighing thing....I know it is crazy. I have been staying away from it due to fat reasons.... but I have been on track for a couple weeks...so I am ready to jump on. I am trying to wait until tomorrow or Saturday.

    Hang in there!!!!!

    Underneath every post there is a report quote reply button - hit the quote! :wink:

    Thanks so much to you and Rose for helping me out with the Quote thing. I hit Quote the first time but didn't know where to type :embarassed: Thanks Super Pals! This is a Test.......I'm gonna hit the button and see if I did it right :ohwell:

    I'm getting there with the quote thing!!! Don't laugh too hard :laugh:

    Anyway - I got home from work awhile ago, just checked in to log my food and water so far....and I'm stuck, I can't get off this site!!!!! I have to go do more work...e-mails, phone calls, unload the car. Ok I set my timer for 15 mins. Then it's back to work!!! I also have to get ready for Step circuit class. The teacher is a young cute skinny thing and has no mercy!!! I like her :smile: And nothing feels better than finishing a class like that!!!!

    If you are on the road alot like I am I thought I would share what I had for lunch. I drove through Carl's Jr. Not sure if you have them where you live...maybe Hardy's????? Anyway I had their Turkey Guacamole Burger 490 cals. I usually don't have quite that many for lunch...but I know I was going to crazy girls work out and could use it!! It was soooooooo satisfying and yummy!

    I will be checking in again tonight. Keep up the good work!

    Wahoo! I finally drank all of my water today! Maybe b/c I went for a C25K walk/jog today and it was HOT!!! I really have a hard time drinking all of my water. I have to seriously plan it into my day. (I really HATE running to the bathroom all day!)

    Did a lot of exercising today and I am super tired. I've been doing pretty good this whole week with the challenge. I've been drinking almost double in my water and I've been getting all of my fruits and vegges in. Went food shopping the other day and got some bananas and apples (yummy).:happy:

    I will be weighing in tomorrow now as the weekend might not be great to weigh in as I'm out with my friends for the first time in months and next Friday is my mums birthday and we are going out for a meal so I think I'll have to step up the exercise just to be on the safe side :-)

    Had a good day and stayed on track with the challenge. I was still hungry after dinner and had seconds when I should have chosen fruit or raw veggies. On the positive side I burned alot of calories today. Tomorrow will be better. Keep rocking CCC sisters!:smile:
