Cardio:
Set you goal this week atleast 5% higher than it was last week, we can do this ladies!! Amazing job last week!

**The Team with the highest Calories burned this week gets an extra point!!

I added Week 6 to the Calorie Burn Spreadsheet

**Some of you take a day or two break so just double up your strength for one day to get the point
　

Emotional Challenge:
What was your moment of clarity? What was it that made you say "Enough is enough; I am taking control of my life?" and how does remembering that help you through the emotional and life changing journey of taking off the weight?
**A special Thank you to LoveNverNds for helping me with the emotional Challenge this week.

Good Luck Ladies and I hope you enjoy the challenge this week

    Wish us well Ladies, taking my 12y/o to All Children Hospital, hoping for a diagnoses. Our fingers are crossed for something less than what we think it will be, Tourette's syndrome, but even if that's what it is, at least we have answers.

    Hope everyone has a good weigh-in today, I won't be back on til tonite if at all, depending on how the day goes.

    Starting: 261
    Starting SAHMU: 241
    Week 5: 230.6
    Weekly +/- : -2lbs
    Total +/- : -30.4lbs!
    Goal: Did not acheieve my goal to kiss the 230s goodbye this week. Still, lost 2 lbs, so that's great. I'm a little disappointed because this loss did accomplish my goal of losing 30lbs, but I fee like that is tarnished by that stupid .7lb more I needed to lose to weigh in at 229.9. That would have been great! But alas, it was not to be. So my goal for this week is to keep working hard and see that number drop below 230. More importantly, I felt really good about how hard I worked this week and I want to keep feeling like that, so regardless of the number on the scale, my real goal is to exercise every moment I am able

    This week's challenge looks awesome!!!

    Wow, I just wanted to give some major props for all you ladies and the calorie burn this week! I thought black team was really kicking it, then I saw pink teams calorie burn!!! And people like to call me a machine? You ladies are AMAZING!!! WTG everybody!

    p.s. Im super excited/scared for the challenge this week, love the new stuff though its keeps things fresh. I made a goal for myself this week as well, Im going to work an extra 30 minutes, rest in the evenings and try not to take ANY days off, it seems like my body decides its going to rebound on the weight and I usually end up with a 1 or 2 lbs gain if I take a day off, this really scares me because in the future I know this journey will never be over even when I do reach my goal weight!

    Nutrition challenge for this week looks good! I tend to eat a lot of the same things (I've had the same breakfast for weeks now). This will make me look a little closer at the specific nutrition intakes. That being said, there is no way I'm meeting the carb goal for today. It's my b-day and I will be indulging in a piece of cake. But it's on for the other days! Good luck everyone

    Emotional Challenge:
    My moment of clarity was after I had my 1st daughter and seeing pictures of myself. I started working out but then life got in the way. When she was 4 1/2 I decided I wanted another baby and we struggled with this for 1 1/2 yrs to find out I have high levels of Cortisol hormones and there is nothing they could do for me....so forget about trying to get pregnant OR lose weight cuz Cortisol is caused by stress and this holds on to fat....great, huh? I did some research and went to the Natural Food store and bought a generic pill called Cortisol Lowering pill....starting working out again and taking pill and with in 2 months I lost 25lbs and was pregnant!! Now since I had baby #2 I am done 45lbs ( had her in Dec).......27lbs when I started here in March and am pushing to lose at least 50-60 more lbs and hopefully be at goal by next summer! With this hormone issue it has been coming off very slowly but this is also a lifestyle change and I am trying to change for the better!

    Hi all, back from the hospital, not Tourette's(yeah)!!! Just a tick, that is most likely puberty induced, and should fade in late teens early 20's (or it might not fade, just don't know).

    Anyway, can someone post our spreadsheet link, not the cardio one the first one with the points? My son was playing on the computer and It's now gone, Thanks!!
