2nd Challenge Lose 10lbs in 5 Weeks!

Hey Ladies,

I thought we could try another challenge since there are new members interested in doing it. This challenge will be the same as the last one, Lose 10lbs in 5 weeks. Avoid Sugar and processed foods, Don't go over on your calories, and exercise.
Lets start this challenge on Monday September 10th. Please post your starting weight on this topic on the 10th. Then everyone will come back every Monday for their weigh in. The weigh in dates will be September 17th, September 24th, October 1st, October 8th, and the final weigh in will be October 15th.
Good luck ladies!!!

    When you say no sugar do you mean processed sugar? as i eat 2-3 portions of fruit a day & taht always puts me over on sugar :( Can't give up my fruit i need the Vitamin C to help absorb my Iron (still very low 8 weeks after birth)

    Yes, I meant processed sugar. :) Thanks for bringing that to my attention, we don't want anyone giving up fruit.

    I hope everyone is off to a good start! I know weekends can be hard for some people sticking to a diet or exercising. As for me, I am stuck at a desk working for 10 hours straight, but I brought a healthy lunch, and I plan to go for a jog later if I'm not to tired. How is everyone else doing so far?

    Traveling makes it tough! Most of the week I did fantastic. Saturday is my cheat meal day... Except it turned into cheat day with being on the road. :( but, that's life... And tomorrow is a new day! Hope you other ladies are doing well!

    I'm sure next week you will have a loss :) I get in the slumps where I'm not loosing anything, so I started measuring my waist, hips, thighs ext... I find that I'm loosing inches while not loosing any weight, so that helps to encourage me. I'm happy that you ladies are doing this challenge!!
