    That's my goal too...10 lbs in 5 weeks. You can totally do it. My best weapon to break a plateau is to eat a little MORE for a few days, then drop back down again. Make sure you're eating enough and getting enough water. You need water to metabolize fat.

    i'm Up for it!
    Not that I'm going anywhere special or anything but to get out of a month plateau I would Love!. To Hit OnderLand Would be amazing.
    And to Almost hit the Goal I had wanted to Hit 2 years ago. I wanted to be 180 when I turned 23. I wasn't. Far from it. This year for my 25th birthday. I want to be 180!

    Heck ya! I'm up for this challenge. If I can do the 10 lbs in 5 weeks I'll be about 5 lbs from my goal weight. Looking forward to staying in touch on this one :-)

    Oh yes, give the above ground pool a try. Consider swimming in circles, rather than laps. Look up all the aqua exercises! Running in place in water is good stuff too. Just time yourself swimming, keep moving, have fun!!! Let us know how it goes.

    I would try treading water if you can, it is an extreme work out and the marines and air force use it to kick butt!

    Are we picking a certain day to Weigh in or just random Weigh ins?
    Yesterday I had a horrible day. Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Chocolate later on. Soooo Good. but over my calorie count so bad.! Then I went home and took a nap.. :| In theory today I'm gonna walk/Bike and make it all good again,.

    I would rather weigh in once a week if that is ok with all you ladies! Fridays is a great day for me.....I do like checking in every day though. It helps me stay on track!

    since I am already involved with the Bob Challenge I have my weigh-in date set on Monday,

    we like to think it helps to keep us accountable over the weekend!?!?

    I am back to weight training 3 times a week which I like to do as interval training.

    I do 10 minutes of cardio first, jump on the weight machines for 20, then back to cardio for 10; repeat!

    I will be alternating this routine with swimming, biking, dancing and even some pilates

    which I decided to try from netflix, can't wait to see the dvd tonight! I also enjoy yoga up to twice a week:flowerforyou:
