    As of October 10th this is how I am doing with my challenge:

    1.I had 144 oz of water today-I had a Big workout today (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 166 minutes total (out of 90 mins each day)
    3. I completed my log but I'm over because I worked out big time-and I love food. (daily calorie goal is 1500)
    4. I completed my food diary as honestly as I could.

    my starting weight is 192 and I have a cute red shirt I would like to fit into. Thanks for this challenge that I will report on daily.

    I changed some goals in my diary to reflect all these awesome challenges I am in lately. I hope to burn 5000 calories a week, workout at least an hour & a half and a weekly challenge to chart 25 miles!!

    1. I had 128 oz of water today- (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 98 minutes total (out of 90 mins each day)

    I had a good day today but I really don't know how realistic it is for me to stick to a diet of under 1500 calories a day!

    Ok so today wasn't so great.. Started out with a massive headache and then gave in to a buffalo wing craving ( I had six).. But I still managed to burn almost 400 calories and drank all my water and was under my calorie goal. So it wasn't all bad. Thank you to everyone here. You all are so inspirational and are doing an amazing job!

    As of October 12th this is how I am doing with my challenge:

    1. I had 128 oz of water today- (out of 128oz)
    2. I exercised for 113 minutes total (out of 90 mins each day)
    3. I completed my log but I'm over because I worked out big time-and I love food. (daily calorie goal is 1500)
    4. I completed my food diary as honestly as I could.

    my starting weight is 192 and I have a cute red shirt I would like to fit into. Thanks for this challenge that I will report on daily.

    I tried to accept a challenge and not eat late night for the past 2 nights and FAILED! Tonight I made sure to eat some pie (no, I had NO extra calories to do so) but hopefully that helps me get through the night.

    Good Morning all! I had another "on" day yesterday. I drank all my water, stayed on diet, and even tried cutting back on my coffee intake a little. My friend and I tried out a corn maze - due to our amazing navigation skills, we ended up lost and wandered for over two hours. According to my pedometer, we walked around three miles - on accident! Hurray!

    I'm so glad everyone is posting as well, and thanks to all for the constant support and motivation!
