    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!

    bowbee – I’ve marked you down as green! This week we’ll be either adding another challenge or upping a current one. . .
    callie365 – We list how we did with our weigh-in but if it helps keep you on track please feel free, I’m on here every day checking out if there’s any new activity.
    hooah_mj – I’m not sure what Longhorn orange is but when I find it, it’s all yours!
    aml0484 – Sounds like you are doing so well!! Is there a shade of blue that you like better? sweet148angel also likes blue. HOORAY for being overweight!! I completely understand that, that’s one of the goals I’m close to as well. Great job on your water and exercise! Keep up the hard work!
    sweet148angel – My goodness you are just a superstar aren’t you! How did you do on the water and exercise challenges? aml0408 requested blue but I could see which shade they prefer and you can pick after that, how’s that sound?
    aprilchampalmer – Holy, that’s great water intake! I just upped mine to 12 glasses a day this week and what a difference it makes! boo on TOM! How did your water intake go for the rest of the week? Were you able to get in 210 minutes of exercise?
    allislefttogain – Great work!! Lost some weight this week, CHECK. Got in your exercise minutes (and some), CHECK. Completed the water challenge, CHECK. Looks like you are on the right road!
    fordbarth – Great idea for this week’s challenge!! Thanks! It will be a food one for sure! Congrats on your loss this week. Did you know that you are almost down 10 pounds since joining our army? Wow! So proud of you! I’ll keep you at that colour.
    pressica – Welcome to your first weigh-in Monday with us! It looks like a great start to me!
    Plwarder – Woohoo! Congrats!! How did you do on the water and exercise challenge?
    blondie76 – YOU DID IT! That’s awesome! Oh I’ve been thinking about you all week, I’m so happy that progress is starting up again for you. I’m from Edmonton! I’m living in Calgary now. I know, I know BOO, haha.
    melbhall – I’ve marked you down. I’m sure the “damage” is not as bad as you are thinking it is. We’re all rooting for you! Don’t worry about the $3 cupcake, haha, I’m sure it was amazing! Losing weight isn’t about never eating stuff like that again, it’s about not eating 3 in one sitting and not eating them every day. I can’t wait for you to get home and be a “loser” again too!
    hotmomenay – Welcome to the Weight loss army! We’re happy to have you!
    metfanlisa – It’s never too late to join the Weight loss army! Sounds like you are ready to work hard!
    enromero – Speaking of doing a great job, look at you! You’re almost down 10 pounds since joining the army! Woo woo!

    Hello recruits (do you guys hate that, haha),

    My last post was so huge I decided to start a new one for my stuff!
    SW – 208.3
    LW – 205.5
    CW – 203.9

    Water - I drank an average of 10 glasses a day. I'm trying for 12 a day.
    Exercise - 404 minutes

    Looks like everyone is doing great!

    CHALLENGE TIME!
    I'm really liking our water on and I think, pardon me, I know it's staying!
    Let's go two for two and keep the 210 minutes minimum of exercise in there too. That's 30 minutes a day or however you like to split it up.
    The new challenge added is for fruits and veggies per day. Let's get set it at 6 servings per day for this week. (Thanks for the great idea fordbarth)

    Alright troops we have a lot to focus on, my goodness! I know you can all handle it. As always, if you feel any of these goals won't push up please feel free to set your own. New graph will be up tomorrow!

    hey everyone I have had kind of an off week, I cheated a few times and did not drink enough water due to using my old crutch (diet coke). My goal for this week to wean myself off the diet coke again is to only have one a day and do much much better on my water. I have exactly one month left until my trip to CA and I'd like to drop another 10 lbs before I go so I have a little more energy. So my goal is no cheat days at all this month, which means no eating out unless it's subway or something like that that I can truly know how many calories I am eating. One of my big problems is we go out to eat one or two times a week and it tends to be places where I have no idea what the calories are so I can't track it properly. So anyways here are my stats, since I am new to this thread I will post my starting stats as well. I also need to get a consistent exercise schedule started. My problem is I don't want to join a gym just yet due to saving money for the trip and I really dislike doing DVD's.

    SW - 261.5
    LW - 246
    CW - 244
    Goal - 125

    The water challenge is gonna be an easy one, exercise challenge sounds easy enough but it's getting off the couch that's the really hard part! Now 6 fruits/vege's is gonna be a big challenge for me but I will take that challenge and adapt and overcome! But as of 4:35pm on Monday afternoon, I've managed to consume only 2 3/4 of my daily servings. GULP...looks like dinner is gonna be vegetarian! :laugh:

    Have a great week troops, I'll be reading posts for support, ideas and motivation!

    Hello Everyone!!
    Thank you for the warm welcome. No change in my weight since I listed it on Friday when I joined. I did have a good week with exercise though: 408 minutes to burn 5553 calories.!!! Woo hoo!confetti.gif

    H20 isn't a problem for me as I usually can drink 10+ cups a day but I do think getting all veg/fruit will be challenging for each and every day.

    Wishing everyone an amazing week in all your goals!!!toyou.gif

    Jenn...Ummm maybe an electric blue.

    Fruits and veggies sounds like a good goal. I'm not even sure how many servings a day I consume so this should be interesting. I think I ate about 5 servings so far today and will try to eat another 1-2 before the night is over.

    Kimmrdodge-I am thinking about suspending my gym membership for the summer as I love walking, running and biking outside in the summer. Maybe try and get a routine of first thing in the morning go for a walk or right after work before finding the couch. This is what I try and do.

    Good Morning Troops!

    Found this quote and thought I'd share: "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

    Best wishes in creating good habits and breaking the bad!
