    Sunday weigh in: I weighed myself first thing this morning but forgot to log it in! I lost 1.2 lbs & weigh 133 lbs! It's been a hot week in Las Vegas & I have been doing the exercises & eating less, maybe due to the heat. So, I hope I can keep it up & continue to lose weight! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

    Hi! I'm Amy. I was in the "Bounce into Spring" group but was late to sign up this time
    So I asked to be put on a team if anyone dropped. A little about me...I'm 45, ha. I have 6 kids and like to walk or do the elliptical for exercise. I'll post my measurements and weight tomorrow...I'm in the car right now driving home from vaca. I start teaching again in 2 weeks. I need to get my butt back in gear before school starts.

    LOL...For those of you that didn't see my post on the main page on Friday morning, one of my co-workers brought in 2 boxes of glazed donuts and 2 boxes of chocolate chip cookies. I am happy to report that I didn't have either one all day long. The donuts were calling my name but I knew if I ate one, by I was going to be very down on myself.

    Monday :
    Under sodium and Tabata done.

    My husband is a custodian at one of our county elementary schools. School started for students last Thursday. Our oldest son is a high school teacher in a neighboring county and the students start there this Thursday. Our grandson's first day of preschool was today and he loved it. It was much easier for him than it was for our daughter. I remember the feeling.

    Hi all,
    I'm back from a very lovely weekend away where I definitely ate too much (I had my first chippy tea in ages and went out for breakfast each day, though we did LOTS of walking so hoping the effect won't be too bad) Still going to work extra hard this week.

    - What is the funniest thing you have heard a child say? my friends little girl had her shoes on the wrong feet. When i pointed this out to her and said she should change them she replied "well...my ballet teacher has told me i have to turn my feet out and if i put my shoes on this way they always turn out so I'm very good at ballet!"

    - What vegetable do you hate? I don't think I hate any veg..... not that keen on fennel, but will still eat it.

    - if you could live in any other country for 2 years where would you go? either Canada or Italy

    And some MFP related questions:

    - What do you like the MOST about the challenge so far? The LEAST? I loved the f/v challenge as it made me more inventive with my cooking. Least would be the ab work
