    Yesterday was not a good day. I didn't get the exercise in and was over on my sodium. Didnt eat the best last night. I was at work two hours late and didn't get home until after 7 and then ate what my husband made for him and the kids. Hoping today goes better. Nothing like being stuck at work two hours extra the mess everything up.

    8/16- Sodium: Under; Exercise: Not completed
    8/17- Sodium: Under; Exercise: Not completed

    Tomorrow for exercise isn't looking too good either, since I'm flying back to Florida and tonight I gashed my toe really bad. BUT I promise to do my best to keep these from being issues! My flight doesn't leave until mid-afternoon, which should give me the morning to work out. :)

    If you were dissatisfied with your stats, don't forget that this was just a few days, and ultimately we're still determined to succeed! Let's have an awesome weekend, ladies!

    8/18- Sodium: Under; Exercise: Not completed

    Weekly Weigh-in: 118

    So exercise was impossible yesterday, but I've lost four lbs this week! Back down to about where I have been hovering, so hopefully the continued use of 30DS will be just what I need to pass this potential plateau. Hope you ladies are doing great!

    Hey team
    been crazy week, and school starts this week, and crazy busy at work too. I've been doing good diet wise, not getting all exercises in. I'm down to 207 so lost 3 pounds, so feel good about that.
    Thrus - got exercise and under in sodium
    Fri - no exercise but over in sodium
    Sat no exercise but under in sodium

    Please post/email your weights if you haven't done so.

    get to know you questions....
    -I think we have all had some success in the past of losing weight. What was it that lead to your success in the past?
    -what's your favorite healthy snack?
    -share one thing that you have accomplished that you are proud of? Can be big or small, career, personal, anything you would like to share.

    Keep up the good work, and have a great week!

    Ok I have a question, when you say don't drink calories are we talking everything? Just wondering if you are saying we can't have a glass of milk because that seems crazy to say oh you can't drink something that is good for you. I don't really drink pop but I enjoy milk from time to time. If its everything than I already lost points today because I had milk.

    HI Amy
    I'm not sure, but my guess would say it counts a calories. You might post this question on the Exercise and weekly challenge thread to get clarification?
