    Down 1.4 lbs this week, even though it's been a sucky week. Had a blow-out with a coworker on Tuesday that made the rest of the week loads of fun to deal with, on top of stressing over this weekend's family obligations that have put me between my sisters and my cousins. Being in the middle of petty stuff really puts a damper on things. Can't wait for it all to just blow over already. I gotta get out of this phunk with the new week. Need to get back on that elliptical and work out this mood!!

    ~toofat2toofit~ No, I haven't tried Turbo Jam yet. I watched the learn & burn workout. Wow, that's a lot of moves to learn. This weekend I'm going to begin practicing the moves as part of my exercise. Starting in September, I want to change my workout routine and TJ will be part of it.

    Turbo Jam is an awesome workout. It's right up there with Zumba for me. The moves aren't very difficult to learn & it's great fun learning them & when you have it you have it. Hope you enjoy.

    Weight this week: 188.4 down one lbs.

    Hi there! I'm a little late checking in. This was a busy week, so I didn't do so well, but I was under on my sodium each day.
    Mon: 10 glasses/50 minutes/1609 sodium
    Tues: 10 glasses/0 minutes, too sad/1618 sodium
    Wed: 8 glasses/30 minutes/2105 sodium
    Thurs: 8 glasses/90 minutes/1816 sodium
    Friday didn't, couldn't keep track due to circumstances beyond my control - but will get back on track tomorrow!
    Weigh in: 155 pounds

    Hope you are all doing well. I'm looking forward to next week's challenge. This really seems to be helping me!!!

    Can't wait to hear the next challenge. What day range is everyone using for counting the week's goals? I see some starting on Friday, ending on Friday...or starting Saturday, ending with Friday's totals. I'm trying to stick to the Friday weigh in, but I'm confused each time on what days I'm counting.

    I'm pretty sure the week starts on Saturday and ends on Friday IF you are doing a Friday weigh in. That would be 7 days...

    Anyone know what the new challenge is unless I scrolled past it accidentally I haven't seen it up anywhere...???:tongue:

    HERE IS THE NEW MINI CHALLENGE FROM JRDOTY8986

    ~ jrdoty8986 ~
    Sun 08/21/11 04:15 AMRepost from main thread:


    New mini-challenge:

    Continue 45 minutes exercise 5 days/week (I only lowered to 5 since it's being posted late)
    Continue 8 glasses water/day (I don't think a lot of people understand how vital water is to losing weight)
    Stay under/at your calorie goal every day (if you don't stay under, at least be diligent to log it)
    Submit 1 NSV you have had during this August challenge to your team captain by Friday

    At the risk of sounding like a dork, what does NSV stand for?

    Tish- thanks for the repost. Hopefully this week won't feel as hard as we come to an end of this months challenge.

    ~Seraph1120~ NSV stands for Non Scale Victory. I had never heard of it until MFP. They are the other things that measure your success besides the number on the scale.

    ~smknitter~ You're welcome. Now that I know where to look for it, just thought I'd repost here so no one would be late in getting started.

    Hello my Amazing Purple Team!!!

    I have read these posts in absolute AWE of how hard you are all working !!! I love that you are supporting and motivating each other!!!

    This month hasn't gone well for me. Well -- at least weight loss wise. I let stress and busy-ness get the better of me and reverted back to some old habits. Those being sitting on my butt and stuffing my face. Not only did I not meet my goal for this month -- I nearly hit it in the opposite direction. I know most of that is water -- and I'm pre TOM so that doesn't help. but to go from 218 to 225 in a week really made me stop and think about where I was going.

    I wanted to give you all a heads up that I've asked someone to take over the group for me starting next month -- I've been a team captian for awhile and I think it's time to hand over the Reigns (lol) and put some extra focus on me.

    It probably seems odd -- but before now -- I wasn't ever team captain -- of anything. I've always been a sidelines kind of girl. It's been so awesome being a part of this. Getting to know you guys and celebrating your victories -- its been fun and rewarding. And I've been brought to tears by some of the messages I've gotten -- by all of your support.

    So -- we've got a week and a half. I'm pushing to end the challenge in a loss :) I'm not giving up -- I promise you all that my name will stay on that chart next month!!!

    Thanks to all of you!!! Mental Hugs and High Fives!!!

    Thanks Tish! I've never heard of it before MFP either. I was thinking it was something like, no small victory. =)
