    I rarely get over 5 hours of sleep so that is why I added it to the challenge because I know I need to sleep more than that a day.

    Tara- Thanks girl! I can't wait to reach my October goals either!!! :D

    Jess- Thanks and I will join you on your challenge, but I rarely get 8 hours either, so I will probably FAIL on that one, but I'll try! ;) Sunday CI: Over calories (cheat day), 112 oz. of H2O, 3ish hours of sleep...eek! I told you...that wasn't typical, though.

    ********************************************************************
    Tasha-huge loss off your waist...woot!!!!
    Jess-I will try my best...but it is IMPOSSIBLE on Mon and Tues for sure...I get off at 6am, get my son to school at 7, sleep from 730-130, workout for 30-35minutes, and then spend sometime with the kiddo, and get ready for work and leave at 430pm again!!! But I will try my best on the other days for sure :)

    LMAO!!! this should be interesting to see...I wonder how will get the most sleep by the end of the week?!

    Hi all!
    Hoping to start losing some weight again! I lost about 30 pounds a year or so ago, but put t back on(and then some) when I hurt my back and couldnt work out for a few weeks

    I am pretty new to MFP. Have been using it on and off on my phone, but have found i just stop logging when I eat crap.
    I am hoping by getting involved in the forums I will have a bit of extra motivation and support. Feel free to share suggestions :)

    CW: 275
    GW: between 130-150, see how I am feeling and looking when I get closer
    October GW: 270

    Other measurements - need to find a tape measure!!
    Waist:
    Hips:
    Right Thigh:
    Left Thigh:
    Right Arm:
    Left Arm:
    The plan: Get back into working out, starting at 3-4 days per week 2-3 miles per day plus some weights.
    Ideally I would love to be at my goal weight by this time next year, but as long as i actually see results I will be happy
    Water Intake Goal: 2 litres a day. Am usually pretty good with this, but get a bit slack on the weekends

    Had to figure out my sleep...I slept 9 hours Sat, but that was for Sat and Sun night (I worked Sun night), then I slept 6 hr during the day on Mon, Tues, and Wed, and then I go back to sleep Wed night to try to convert back to a day shift shedule!!! So I will enter what I sleep tonight for tonight I guess!! LOL



    Tosha-I stole your "totals" section....let's just do the best that we can, and see where it takes us!!

    Hello, gals!

    The last few days have been AWFUL. I went away with my mom & family and didn't take the time to do restaurant research and turns out I made VERY bad choices. Ugh.

    Back at it today - - hoping to keep a very tight leash on calories for the next few days. I'd hate to have a big gain this week after a good weigh in last week.

    Welcome to the group, Cammy!

    Yesterday was a very stressful day...had some stuff going on. I wanted fast food and decided I wasn't going to have it, but then realized that I forgot to set out the meat to thaw for dinner, so I gave in and over did it...gonna try not to have my normal cheat on Sunday to make up for it. Hopefully I can get all that extra sodium out of my system by Sunday WI!!!

    Tosha-I hate when I forget to prepare for dinners...makes it really hard to not give in and go get something quick?! I always leave some chef boyardee on hand for these situations...may be not the best for you, but def better than a double quarter with cheese!! (which is what I would get from fast food!!-LOL!)
