    Suzanne... I'm so proud of you! I know how hard it is when you are having those days! Way to hang in there when you are stressing.

    Laura... you are doing AMAZING this week! Wow... I'm so impressed at your motivation and dedication to this. Way to go girl!! AND you are the Water QUEEN!! wow!!

    Kory... Tara was right about everything. It's all about what works for you. Of course the more you are around, the more you can motivate your team members. And I plan on posting the new challenge for next week on Wednesday. (it will start on Thursday...and we weigh in on Thursday mornings)

    And for me... I'm doing ok this week. I"m actually proud to say I've been doing well with food. I've been able to avoid most carbs this week...(part of my south beach diet phase 1). I'm pretty proud of that b/c I tend to eat a lot of processed things. I have one more week on this phase and then I start working "good" carbs back in. I"m excited about that. Starts with oatmeal, fruits and whole grain breads w/o high fructose corn syrup.

    I've always wanted to eat "cleaner" so I'm excited. Mind you, I won't be eating fully "clean". I will still enjoy cheeses and some other things, but cutting out a lot of other processed foods is exciting to me.

    Hey lovely butterball friends, I'm glad to see what a great job everyone is doing. I've done very well with the challenge - but my eating has been out of control. I think I need support and encouragement to help get me back on track - I'm not sure what's going on for me but it's like I've lost my mind. My choices are horrible and I'm having this internal struggle - I want to lose weight, I want to eat, I want to lose weight, I want to eat. It might be PMS or it might be the fact that I worked so hard last week and didn't lose any weight. I'm not sure, but I'm struggling to get refocused with my eating.

    Tausha-sounds like you wanna eat how I DO eat!!! once you get used to it...it's really easy to follow...and sounds like SBD may be just right on getting you there too!! Great job this week...and can't wait to see next weeks challenges!!

    Sandy-I left you a response on your post so check there too!! But a quick revamp of what I said...you are doing so great, and NO matter what the scale says...you need to remember that and keep moving forward in your journey!!! Once you reach your destination...you will look back at all of the "hurdles" you have jumped, and be even more proud of what you have accomplished....instead of having it just handed to you! SO...keep it up!!!

    Tara and Renee~ thanks for your thoughts. I still have the headache but I took some meds and hopefully I'll be better. I'm going to workout after work regardless because my BF is going to a concert tonight so I will be all alone and I have to choose my dinner wisely!

    Tausha~Thanks, I do love my water! :laugh:


    Great job girls, we are all doing awesome and we have to keep it up for the next 2 months! GOTTA KEEP LOSING!!

    Here is the chart! Please let me know if there are any errors! For the spots where there wasn't a weigh in, I just put the most recent weight, because in excel I used a formula to calculate the loss and I had to have a number in those spaces.

    Kory- Holy calorie burn!! WTG!!

    Sandy- Your doing great with your weekly goals- keep at it!!!

    Suzanne- glad to hear you made it through your binge feeling-- stay focused girl!!!


    QUESTION: when did this challenge start?? just curious

    AFM: Monday was a well lets say "monday"- i was of body but not of mind & don't even know how i made it through my work day- so i skipped a day & was in bed at 8:15 so that i could start fresh today!! I was able to get my sit-ups in this morning but otherwise no workout today:(

    Kicking *kitten* at water- so far today i've had about 60 ounces of water (sorry i don't count cups b/c my water bottle goes by ounces!) For me, water & beer are the only two things I drink. hope that doesn't make me sound like an alcoholic, but i never liked pop, not a juicer & cutting out milk helped me lose weight!!

    JoAnn-CONGRATS on running a half!!!! super sweet!:drinker:

    Annie-come on girl...you can do it!!! Consistency is key remember :flowerforyou:

    Jojo-we just started this challenge on Sept 1st...so we were not too far into it when you got here! No worries on the beer...Captain happens to be a friend of mine too!! :laugh: Also, there is 8 oz per cup so your 60 oz bottle would be just 4oz short of the 8 cup goal per day...sounds pretty great! WTG!

    AFM-rest day today...and only 1 walk last night at work since we had an hour long dept meeting during my ususal 2nd walk time...but I will be shootin for at least 2 again tonight PLUS another 12 cups of water like I have had for the past 2 days already!

    LET'S GO TEAM YELLOW!!! ONLY 2 DAYS UNTIL WEIGH-IN AND THE END OF THE WEEK!!!

    My headache is still here and nothing is really helping it. If I do any exercise, I know it will make it worse...so I'm going to chill and hopefully it will be gone tomorrow! Thanks for caring Tara..
