    cn: Good job on passing up the cake and pizza! We had a going away party in the offie today, I managed to stay away from the cookies, cheesy dip, and pizza (it was my favorite too! Pepperoni,,,,mmmm) but caved on the cake. Only two bites though, but man that was costly. Jillian kicked my butt tonight! But for the first time I didn't stop on any of the cardio. Next.....no stopping on the upper body stuff!

    You too! Good Job!!! :flowerforyou:

    Biggest Loser is awesome! I'm joining late and I was only going to do 50 each day but since other latecomers are catching up, I will too. At least I did about 10 yesterday from the BL Boot Camp DVD but that's a lot of catching up. Thanks for the motivation.

    My starting weight is 217 and my goal for this challenge is to get under 200 but hoping for 190.
