    I definitely didn't make the calorie-burn challenge, due to not having time AT ALL on Tuesday. But I did my best to get 500/day the rest of the week. My appetite has been WEIRD this week so I haven't really eaten enough - which thankfully means I am down 3.1 pounds this week! WOOHOO! But I'm a bit worried about just HOW low it's been, particularly given that a lot of it has been junk. I really want to try to eat more healthfully this week. That's my own personal challenge, I guess. (She says, at 10:30 local time, not having eaten a thing yet.... d'oh.)

    You have not been the only one! I was the same way this week with a very low appetite. Today I finally ate more but I ate crap too! Since I hardly ate there was hardly any energy for exercise... Next week will be better.

    My appetite has been ok this week but today wow I could eat everything on my house! I was wondering, since the mini challenge was give on Monday I've been under my net cals by about 400-500 each day, so I'm thinking I may actually let myself go over today as I'm obviously needing it, if I do gain anything it should be
    Minimal and gone by next week anyway! Having said that the scale showed another 2lb gone this morning so I'm not too worried!

    What I am worried about however is my mums wedding on Friday! I'm having to travel 350 miles in the car with my children on Thursday to the spend 4 days with my grandparents who really are feeders bless them! First meal on the menu will be my ALL TIME FAV steak pie make by my grandad! He knows I love it so it's a given it'll be there waiting for me when I arrive! I'll do my best to do some exercise if I can get some time to myself, I guess only time will tell!
    Would it be ok to give my weight in detail on Thursday as I can the use my own scales rather than someone else's?

    Do we know when the next mini challenge is given?

    Have a great weekend guys!

    I guess I am a space cadet bc I didn't realize the mini challenge!! Yikes! I didn't make the 500cal a day either but I've been nursing my back this week, so I haven't been exercising much more than doing things I have to do! I will keep a closer eye on this thread for the next mini challenge! :o)

    I am down 2 lbs this week, but I had found myself plateaued for 4 days...so who knows!!

    :o)

    Not a bad first week for me...I was hoping for 3 lbs, but since I did not come close to meeting the exercise challenge, I sort of expected a lack-luster result.

    I lost 1 lb for the week. But hey, it's a start!

    OOPS, Yesterday i had a rest day and allowed myself to go over on cals as i had such a huge defisit for the week, We had a burgerking and altho i was ok with the calories (a little high but ok on the whole) I did not realise how bad it was for sodium! Just that meal alone had over 11000mg! I was so shocked! Needless to say i'll be holding some water now lol! Drinking plenty to flush it out but i certainly wont be making that mistake again! I'm off for a loooong run today so hope to burn a few cals! also doing 30ds so should be able to claw things back, i figure i have 4-5days to make it right!

    Kell, I'm beginning to believe that sodium is the devil and fast food is his henchman...lol I had Subway yesterday, thinking I was making a good, healthy choice with apples and a coke zero, and the sandwich alone had over 1000mg of sodium!!!

    I would look for it to be posted after all of the announcements are made by the team captains in the main thread. If our captain doesn't copy it to here, I will do it, so that it's hopefully not missed by anyone. Good luck!!
