    Ah! We haven't had a very good week as a group on whole.

    Let's kick our butts into gear! We have a little over a month until the challenge is over - so let's do it!

    Challenges:
    - Drink WATER! Make sure you're drinking at LEAST 8 cups of water a day. But add TWO MORE CUPS of water than you normally drink.
    - Cut back on SODIUM. Sodium makes us hold water weight, so watch your sodium intake and stay under MFP's recommended goals.
    - GET YOUR HEART RATE GOING! Try to burn 50 more calories a day than you normally would.
    - What's been the biggest struggle in this challenge so far?

    Love this week's challenges, I really need to get my exercise head back on!! I'm going to aim to do *something* everyday, even if it's just a couple of mile walk or 10mins on the bike!

    Come one everyone, we're all enjoying summer but letting the bad habits creep back in, lets get back to it and have a double loss next week!!! :drinker:

    I've decided that I am in a bad relationship. In fact, I'm going to break up with him. He may be hot & have alot of dough, but he is way too cheesy and is a bad influence on me. When he is around me, I lose all control and everytime we hook up, I regret it.
    I'm not saying me and Pizza can't be friends one day, I'm justing saying that I need some space. It isn't him, it's me.


    ahahhahahaha!!! at first i thought you were talking about your actual boyfriend!!! love it!!!!

    My biggest struggle during this challenge has been losing my motivation to hit the gym...i started off so strong and was doing 30ds video every single morning and hitting the gym at least 3 times a week! now i do zero excerise but still trying to eat the best i can and make overall healthy choices to sllllooowwwlllyyy drop the lbs! i know that if i start hitting the gym again i will see those #'s go lower and lower and i'll be able to hit my goal by the end of this challenge!!!! its a new week!!!! Thanks agaiN!!!!!

    183.4 :(

    I gained about .6 this week. Had a really rough weekend. I think it is mostly water weight, bc I got on the scale this morning and it was much less, but I need to stay consistent. My weigh in is Tuesday just before dinner. I know I should weigh first thing in the morning, but due to weird circumstances, when I started this whole thing, my weigh in was Tuesday before dinner. I got myself back on track, though and am soo looking forward to a nice drop next Tuesday!

    I knew this was going to be bad coming back from family vacation. Weigh-in this week- 214.8 lbs. Ugh! I definitely need to work a bit harder this week. I wish temps would go down a little to work out a bit more.


    I totally agree on the temps. This high heat = little motivation. Michigan will start to see a relief today, can't wait! Hope the same for you!

    Overall this week hasn't been very great. In fact, as a whole we gained -1.8 pounds!
    Oh no!!

    I'm not worried though, next week will change.

    I've been good on sodium and water mostly. The extra 50 calories is not even an issue either. However I am seriously stuck and losing faith. I am at my worst plateau yet. I know I've had bad days and some weeks I upped the calories to trick my body but nothing is working. Eating really good this week and added changes to my normal walking routine. This past week I incorporated jogging, biking, and 30DS into my workout and I'm not losing pounds or inches. Really frustrated. I'm not giving up just tired.

    :( I hope you can find what it takes to break that plateau.

    Weigh-in tomorrow!

    Here's your next bout of challenges:
    - Make sure you get fruits and/or vegetables with each meal you eat
    - Pick a neglected part of you body and work on it - for me, I'm going to focus on my arms
    - Get yourself something that's going to encourage more of your weight loss (I need to get a battery for my HRM)

    No biggest losers from last week?? That makes me sad :-( I think I might have been on that list for the first time of the challenge....


    Weigh in day!! I stayed the same...I got down to 150 at some point in the week and been very good to watch my sodium and not gone over my calories so not sure whats going on. Maybe I'll get a double loss next week instead :-)

    Weight this morning - 151

    Good luck everyone!! xx

    205 this week.. was an up and down week, I imagine the gains were water weight since I am not over on calories at all, but it still takes time to go back down.
