So, here we are, ladies!!
I am so excited to get to know each of you, as we help support each other through this journey!
On this thread, we can share our goals for the week, and our Monday weigh-in results. Also, we can just talk about stuff we're going through, challenge each other and also encourage one another!
So, without further ado, let's go!!

p.s. sorry to all who wanted to join this group but couldn't...adding more people at this time just isn't feasible.

Here are all the names of all the super women in this group! Adding each other is great...we can see each other's progress, exercise, diaries, and we can totally support one another!!

mycrazyturtles

Hey Ladies, we can do this... I would like to get going this week by working out everyday, even if its just going for a walk.
Drink all my water and trying to cut on my Diet Dr. Pepper (not sure how that will go)
Hope to loose 3 lbs this week and next. Then back to 2 a week.

3ricaAnn

My goals are to stay under my calorie goal, drink at least 64 oz of water a day and exercise at least 6 days. I hope to be down 1.5-2 pounds by monday. Good luck everyone

erinalexis84

My goal is to workout everyday. Run 9 miles this week (3 run 3 miles each) plus do a video (P90x ab ripper or cardio) in the mornings before work. I really need to work on my eating. I do alright and then I start straving between 5 and 6 (right as I am cooking dinner!) which causes me to snack. Tonight was salsa and chips...awful. I feel awful about it, although I am still within my calorie goal (thanks to working out!). Still its sucks... I need to do better!

Very fun!

KaeChelle

I'm starting off at 276.5. I would like to get to 275 by next Monday. My goals for the week are to log my food each day, stay under calories, and exercise a minimum of 3 days. I know that sounds pretty basic, but I haven't done any of these things on a consistent basis in a long time. I lost 37 pounds when I first joined MFP, but gained over 20 back.

I'm excited and ready to turn things around again.

CBaumgardner7

My goals this week is to start tracking my calories.....AGAIN! Do the water thing and start to cut out the Diet Pepsi(please pray for my family) and to exercise daily with the exception of Saturday(working a double shift!). I"m hoping to be down 2lbs but if more...that would be awesome! Good luck all!

MandaLee8908

My goals for the week:
1) Lose 1 lb
2) Drink 36 oz of water daily
3) Don't eat emotionally...eat logically

aablacknell

My goals this week are:
*Workout at least 5 days this week
*Burn 4000 calories
*Lose 3 lbs (1st week back)

Carebear2 I will be praying for your family once that soda consumption is down (love it).

KaeChelle I am in the same situation. I did a wonderful job and reached my goal weight and maintained for a short period before I was in an auto accident that injurued my knee (there went the excercise and the comfort food filled the void). I am on this mission with you. I about fallout when I got the courage to step back on the scale :mad:.

Thanks Elisabeth for the list and the challenge! Wow... how many can I do in a minute? I'm gonna have to try that out! Push-ups are going to be hard for me. Never been able to do those really. I usually do wall push-ups when I do them.

Anyway, I need to get to work! Have a great day!

Hi everyone!!

My goals for the week are first to get rid of all the water weight I put on over the weekend...and secondly to stay on track over the weekend and not undo all my progress of the week. I had a goal of reaching the 120s before a trip to visit friends on the 26th, which I don't think I'll achieve, but I want to get as close as I can. For next Monday, I just want to see my challenge starting weight of 132 on the scale again.

I also need to get back into a groove workout-wise. I finished P90X in April, and since then I've been playing a lot of tennis and softball which are great workouts, but are keeping me from getting into a lifting/cardio rhythm. Strength training has been key to my weight loss, and I've neglected it too much.

Love the challenge idea...I'll do it tonight!!
