OK guys - I'll take this week (besides, we need to start a new thread before we get shut down).
As we are already:
1. logging our meals
2. drinking at least 8 glasses of water
3. some type of ab work daily
4. heart rate up 5 days a week
5. giving up one bad (didn't see typo until late!:laugh: ) habit
6. staying away from the scales until weigh in
7. (which one did I forget??)
I think we need some type of community challenge..
So, my challenge for this week is for each of us to post on this thread at least once a day, just to check in, or even better, to provide some emotional and mental support to a fellow team member who may be struggling - extra credit for identifying fellow team members by name (and for identifying the challenge I forgot above)..
Let's go guys - let's connect..
talk to you often.. janie

Fantastic idea, Janie! (+1point). I'm looking forward to seeing what Lori (+1) has to say.

Great challenge, Janie! (psst...is that another point?)

Go Sara!! Work those last 5 pounds off!!!! woo hooooooo0 -

She dropped out because she wasn't losing pounds just inches! She said she couldn't let us down like that. I told her that this challenge for us was to encourage each other anyway we could. I could care less if none of us lost weight but we were losing inches and we were supporting each other!!0 -

I'm there!! Absolutely...:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
Jeannie - I have found that it is better to work off the sore. I'm not sure if it is technically stretching out sore muscles, keeping the burn going so it doesn't get a chance to tighten up, or just a mental thing,, but definitely helps.
great job working with the trainer Jeannie.. you'll get that one pound and more I'd bet..

we shall see. thanks JB for the challenge. i have been into my :brokenheart: a bit this week....with work stress and not losing weight. I understand why amelia didnt want to check in. I am thankful I have y'all or I may have quit. Knowing I am accountable....and that my words are ' i am going to get healthier, if I lose some weight-great!' reminds me what this is all about.
Friends, getting healthy, having a laugh and encouraging each other!!
