    I forgot to mention... last week I didn't do perfect with cutting out my sugar. (My big downfall) though I have now gone two days without snacking after 8pm, or having any chocolate/candy/sweets.... A big victory for me there!

    So I was thinking about the lunch challenge......I think a bigger challenge for me would be to not eat dinners out. I have to bring my lunch every day because of my job. I'm a teacher....we can't really leave the building not enough time. So I'm going to say that I will limit the dinners out to one night.

    You go girl!!!

    I love that we are getting excited, and a mini daily challenge is so awesome! I am so in as well. I have a late start cuz it is almost lunch time here, but why not?!?

    I'm up 1.8 :sad: but I'm trying not to stress about it too much! I've read about a lot of people gaining their first week or two of 30DS. Plus it's my TOM. Next week will be better! I've just got to keep making good choices, food wise, doing 30DS, and getting other exercise in!

    I hand't heard about people gaining at first with 30DS maybe that's what's happened to me. I am up 2 lbs from last week too but it's about to be my TOM also... maybe I haven't blown it after all. This helps change my outlook. Thanks!

    WOW, So many posts here, I want to reply to you all. Good job for those who lost, and good job to those who are frustrated too. We are all hanging in there, together! I did the mini challenge for the day and it feels great. 50 squats, 50 crunches, 100 jumping jacks. Keep doing your best everyone!

    Lost 2 pounds this week! Drank lots of water without adding flavoring. That was really hard for me to do. I cut way back on the diet sodas. Now I just need to add the exercise in this week. Hopefully this cold will go away soon!

    First, if you guys add your own weight to the sheet you don't have to message me. Why do double the work? LOL :happy:

    I have been checking out the numbers, and I am so proud of everyone! I never thought I would get this much involvement from a challenge, ever! I am so motivated and excited! You all are making me this way! Thank you! :flowerforyou:

    I am working on the challenge for the day. Got in all jumping jacks, and 1/2 the squats. may not do any more of them. my legs are still sore from boot camp class. lol

    Thanks!! I had no idea how much I was hooked on the sugary junk (chocolate is my biggest downfall.... ) Until I decided to cut it out. Today is day three without sweets, and night #3 of no snacks after 8pm. It feels easier already! Haha. I've taken to having an herbal tea (I drink it black) in the evening, and I find it as satisfying as any late-night bowl of icecream or sweet tarts ever were! :)

    I did the mini-challenge, all the jacks/squats/crunches. Did the Curves circuit, and walked for 40mins on my lunch. Going to have my tea, and relax before bedtime. Congrats and nice work to all of you, but keep it up because we still have work to do!! Nite all!

    I'm dreading my weigh-in tomorrow morning! Eep! I am officially past my one week a month where I don't retain massive amounts of water. My ankles are already swollen up again. *sigh* My doctor said there's no reason for it (same reason there's no reason for my slow weight loss rate) just that that's how my body is. I don't have heart problems, so he's not worried about me. Worse, I've been drinking GALLONS more water than normal to try and kick a cold, and I had pizza two days in a row, so salt+extra water=even more bloat than normal.

    Stupid body!

    So weigh in tomorrow will be terrible, I'm predicting about four pounds up. I swear, I didn't eat sugar all week!

    I also didn't get in more than 15 mins of weight training. I was going to do it today, but I got home and conked for three hours on my cold meds. Tomorrow I'll make up for it with the mini challenge. : )

    Thanks for the tips about the gallon jug as a weight, I'll be doing triceps and biceps with that! Great idea!

    confession time!!!

    1. Today at work I wanted those fries off of my friends plate. so, there were like 2 left, and I said something are you gonna eat those? And she said no you can have them... I sat there. Then like a cat, I ripped them off of her plate and tossed them across the room right into the trash. I did crush them in the process. It felt so good! Everyone in the room was shocked! LOL then we all cracked up laughing.

    2. Yesterday my hubby just HAD to have this pecan pie at the store. So i have looked at it all night tonight. I mentioned to him that I want to get a fork and eat the middle out of it, so bad. So he got a piece. he started in with the "1 piece won't hurt" "it is so good". So I got a small bite of his, and it was so wonderful... then I left the room with my water and fiber one bar and got on here.
