Hi Cynthia. Welcome to MFP and the group
Our weigh in day is on Wednesday each week and Karie made a spreadsheet for us to put our weight, measurements, daily challenge points and daily calorie burn on. Here's the link to it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnwPqv9GV3KzdGJmckI0LXhiV2piODNrU3o3NG9XRVE&hl=en_US#gid=0

On page 1 of this thread, you'll see what our daily challenges are and then Karie assigns a group (of 2 people) each week to think up something for the next week's challenge. Hope this helps

♥Amy♥

I cheated...and looked at my weight today, it said 237...im not putting that in until wednesday because I dont want to be dissapointed if it goes up! And after fitting gloriously into my size 20 jeans, I tried on some 18's and they fit too! Im so psyched, I haven't been able to fit comfortably into a size 18 since...well since I was 20! Heres my points for today...

Cardio- 1 pt
Strength- all 3 done (those leg curls are tough!)
Food- 1 (I will get my fruit and veg in today...Im determined!)

I will more then likely go for a walk or something later, its just too nice not to get outside! Hope Y'all are having a great weekend!

MAJOR NSV ALERT!!!!

My son has his first swim class tomorrow and I am super excited for it. The only part I was dreading was the whole having-to-wear-a-bathing-suit thing. Luckily, I thought to try on my pre-pregnancy suit and it was waaaayy too big! Like, I would have been in serious danger of flashing the other moms and mommy and me swim class. So we just got home from swimsuit shopping (my husband is working so I had to bring Caleb - he was such a good shopper! I think he could sense this was a big deal!) Anyways, I got aa really nice tankini that fits great and I actually feel confident in. me! Confident! in a BATHING SUIT!!!!!! :laugh: :happy: I'm like ridiculously, deleriously happy right now!!!!

only down side was that because i was buying off season I couldn't get it as cheap as I would have liked. I did catch a sale but it was still $100. But in all honesty, I don't really care. I never spoil myself and the way I look at it this was really a purchase for me and Caleb, because without it, we wouldn't have been able to go to swim class tomorrow. Good justification eh?

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!

Congrat's that is awsome!!! Have fun at swim class!!
And I didn't know there was an off season for swimwear??? I guess living in FL you get use to always seeing swim suits in the stores.
