    @KokomoJoe: done.

    @blueeyes25s: what weight you want to have filled in? please send me a pm.

    So how has everyone been doing this week?

    Personally I ate tooooooooo much in Germany, but now I have new motivation and will rock my way to get fit, healthy and sexy by X-mas.

    Go on like that everyone, you're doing great.

    @ Deediddly: oh no, poor you, hopefully it'll get better soon!! Don't worry too much, I know smaller portion sizes are hard, but you can do it.

    Hi, I haven't joined a challenge in a long time! So I'm hoping it'll be okay if I join in :tongue:

    My birthday is on December 23rd and I would love to be a bit slimmer than I am now! :heart:

    Hi everyone.
    I would love to join this challenge. Most of the other challenge threads I've come across are closed groups, which is frustrating. I think it will be a great motivational tool, especially with all the holidays coming up (Halloween aka Stuff Your Face with Candy Day, Thanksgiving, etc.)

    I'm 5'1

    what are you doing as your weekly excercises? are you going out into the wonderful nature, attending classes at the gym, doing home DVDs or working out by yourself in the gym?

    personally I thought I would be working out in the gym by myself but recently I discovered classes at the gym to be more entertaining and burning more calories, despite time seems to go by faster.
    in addition I bike to university everyday (even if it's freezingly cold outside) and sometimes on the weekends I go hiking with family or friends.
    so in the last week the only thing I did not do, was what I was planning to do - even though I did more excercise than planned :)

    I'm doing the 30 Day Shred, as well as walking to and from train stations for uni (works out at about an hours walk each day I'm in lectures) and walking the dog every day. Only started the 30DS yesterday and I am definitely feeling it today in my thighs!!

    Janie- I hear ya! I was down 2 and then gained 2 back. I was last on the spread sheet...ouch. This week I am going to log all my food and see if this helps with my accountability. Sheesh...will this ever end!

    I'm down 3 lbs since I signed up. I go to the gym every morning after I take my son to school and walk for about 45 minutes to an hour. I also just added strength training before my walk, because I read that lifting weights even for only 15 minutes can cause you to burn more fat during Cardio. It has something to do with the fact that lifting weights causes your muscles to use up all the sugar, and then when you do cardio, your muscles use fat instead of sugar.
