    I am going to start weighing in on Fridays. I was .2 of a pound so I am up to 175 even. I weighed myself a million times today. I finished 30 day shred last night. I plan to take the night off and start round two tomorrow. I am looking forward to great results.

    Checking in for 9/14-9/16.
    I am weighing in tomorrow so I will add that stat tomorrow.

    OWL:0 ( Just had surgery I can't exercise)
    Newts: 15
    House Points: 15 ( I have been low on energy so this is all I could muster up. Just small walks. I will be contributing more to the group when I am done with recovery. I am still heavily medicated and swollen.

    Everyone is doing awesome!

    For this weeks food challenge I would like to focus on not so much what you're eating but what is in the food you eat! That dreaded sodium. Often too much sodium and not enough water makes the scale jump a little. This week I want you to focus on your sodium intake. Read the labels on the food you are eating. Processed food has a ton of sodium in it. Try to stick with more natural options. I know sodium is often the culprit when I see a lb gain in one day. For each day you stay under your recommended sodium intake you will receive 3 Newts. If you drink 8 glasses of water in addition to staying under sodium you can earn 2 more Newts for a total of 5 Newts per day maximum. Hopefully everyone thinks this is a good challenge. I know it is not a challenge to eat a specific food, but I still think it's a good one!

    Hey guys! Just have time for a quick update today...

    Just reminding Prefects that the new weekly challenges should be announced tomorrow, and will begin on Sunday. I'm off to celebrate the last (thankfully!!) Family birthday we have this month!

    zero points for me today in all areas but I'll see what I can do over the weekend. i would like to work on my arms personally, although leg exercises are also good.

    i could do with strengthening the muscles in my ankles. does anyone have any advice? thanks :)

    Have you ever tried the ankle weights. They are like little Velcro weights that go around your ankle. My mom swears by them she has 2lb set. Good luck !

    Lost 2 lbs this week! Woo Hoo!!! My current weight is 146. Throughout my 20s I weighed 135 and I was reasonably happy with this weight. I'm not sure how or why I gained 25 pounds the last couple years but, man it feels good to see the scale move in the other direction:bigsmile:


    For the week-including today:

    16 fruits- Are we counting a whole banana as 2 servings of fruit? If so I have more than 16.
    2 mountain climbers (okay, I'll admit it. I have the upper body strength of an infant.)
    215 House Points

    Have a great Saturday.

    BTW IHURTUBISE, I think the sodium/water challenge is fabulous!!

    Friday's stats

    Owls 2
    Newts 1
    House points 100 (Volleyball :smile: )

    NSV for today. I went hiking with my sister and a friend on a portion of the Pinhoti trail that runs through the area. At the very beginning of the trail from the road there is a VERY steep hill that I couldn't even get up a couple of years ago. Made it up huffing and puffing a few weeks back with my sister, but today I was barely winded by the climb!

    Oh my Goodness! I didn't realize how super-busy I've been this week until I sat down to collect these numbers!

    I'm all caught up with everyone now, though. :smile: Hope everyone's having a great weekend, and don't forget those weigh-ins and vote for the exercise challenge if you haven't already!

    Legs or arms? :smile:

    Sorry I haven't been posting too much. I'm in my second week back at school, so I'm adjusting to that, plus seeing a lot of friends who are heading off to university and saying goodbye to them. I'll be back to posting as usual as of Monday! I hope everyone is well.
