    I often spell color as colour - even though I'm American. I blame the year I lived in Ireland, plus I secretly think it looks better :)

    Pink please? :)

    Happy Friday ya'll!

    Hello WL Army!!!
    Would it be possible for me to join? I am back at mfp after having some luck last year but then kinda got lazy and stopped. I decided that it was time to get in gear again and would love to have a team to challenge and encourage me on this commitment to my lifestyle change. Oh and btw I would love to have some sorta pink color if it hasn't been chosen yet. Yup!!! Very Girlie!!lol

    barty – Thanks! Great job on the exercise, you're a rock star!! Let’s push the water intake now, it’s just as important, I know you can do it!
    enromero – YELLOW is all yours! I love that you have your 5 year old cheering you on. Whenever I work out with my Wii my twins cheer every time I finish an exercise, it keeps me so pumped. Sounds like you are getting all your water in and some! Good on ya!
    aprilchampalmer – Purple it is! Glad to have you back. I hope you’re working hard on getting your water and exercise minutes in.
    blondie76 – Thanks! Where in Canada are you from?
    allislefttogain – Ah yes, the UK and Canada spell quite a few words the same, I love the look of it too, haha. Your wish of pink is granted!
    aml0484 – Thanks! Blue for you, of course I can! Fantastic job on the water and exercise! I’m glad it’s pushing you!
    callie365 – We have room for MANY MORE RECRUITS!! Come one come call! We weigh in on Monday mornings. Hopefully it will keep us in check over the weekend. Right now we have 2 challenges going on, drink at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day and get in a minimum of 210 minutes of exercise for the week. Welcome to the group!
    bowbee – It is very possible for you to join!! We’d love to have you. The more in the army the better chance we have of winning the weight loss war!! We weigh in on Monday mornings. Hopefully it will keep us in check over the weekend. Right now we have 2 challenges going on, drink at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day and get in a minimum of 210 minutes of exercise for the week. My only bad news is that there was already a request for pink, I’m sorry, any second choice in mind?

    Monday weigh-in is coming up fast!

    Welcome to the new members. Looks like everyone is having a pretty good weekend. I really pushed myself this week and am super excited for weigh in on Monday. I exceeded my goal for exercise and am still going to go out tomorrow and do some more. Hope you all have a good rest of your weekend.

    Since I weigh-in on Sundays and don't want to forget tomorrow...

    Starting Weight: 131.2
    Last Week's Weight: 128.2
    Current Weight: 126.8

    Down 1.4! I've officially lost 20 pounds since January and I'm 6.8 pounds away from my goal of 120! YESSSS! I also got in 419 minutes of exercise and at least 8 glasses of water a day. Took a few days off to recover from being sick, so I'm quite happy with my exercise minutes :)

    Good morning everyone, hope it was a good week!

    This week's exercise challenge went okay, still tough for me to get out each day when I was sleeping all day! This week should be better as I'm back on days for 2 weeks...

    As for this week's challenge ideas, anyone up for keeping better track of our 5-10 fruits and veggies a day? I was thinking that if we enter them in to our food notes at the bottom of the diary page maybe it would give a better visual. I know for myself there's days that I can stay within my calorie range but getting in my fruits and veggies is tough, especially on the weekends.

    Last week's weigh in: 134.8
    This week: 133.5
    Down: 1.3

    Jenn, I like the colour you've currently got on the chart for me! Have a good week!

    Well I am super happy I am down 3.6 lbs to 191. This brings me out of the obese range and into the overweight range. YEAH for being overweight. HAHA. Such a big milestone for me. I was also able to get all my water in this week and exceeded my goal for exercise and did 1025 minutes. Hope you all have a good weigh in today.

    Hello All! Happy Monday!

    Jenn, please put me down at 172.8 again. I can't wait to get home and finally weigh in for real. I'm guessing I will have gained so next week you will be raising my line on the graph. I have hardly had any water this whole trip and my eating has been out of control. I'm embarrassed to say I bought a $3 cupcake and it was excellent. Tonight we are eating at Ruth's Chris and will be slowly making our way back to OH after the next couple of days. Please forgive me all for being so terrible the past two weeks.

    Oh, and congrats to all you "losers"! Hopefully once I get back on track that will be me too!

    Is it too late to join the Army? I've re-committed myself to being healthy and I'm looking for motivation!

    CW: 154lbs
    GW: 145lbs

    My goal weight is really just a number to throw out there, what I really want is to lose inches and stop giggling! lol

    I plan on working out every day combining running, strength and yoga. I'll be doing the P90x strength & yoga dvd's. My boyfriend has already lost 20lbs on P90x and he's looking great. It's my turn!

    Looking forward to supporting others and getting some back!

    Congrats to all who've made it through the (almost) first month!
