Thanks April!!! The water is going to be a true challenge for me also!!! I have been sooo busy with getting the kids back to school that I am always on the go. I need to take my water bottle with me. Good Luck!0 -

Hey Pam,
I watched both videos and love that you decided to communicate with us this way. As psychomom already said, it does make it seem more personal and heartfelt. Glad to see how excited you are also. Nice challenges this week.

thanks I love the idea of the video.
Water is usually not too much of a problem
100 crunches a day OUCH.....LOL
my accomplishment was getting into my little black dress, the one in my avatar pic, the last time I wore this dress was about 14 yrs ago
my goal accomplishment, to run a 5K0 -
Thanks so much for the positive feedback on the video!!! I am glad that they are helpful!
Now regarding Week 1 Challenge:
My accomplishment so far is getting off the first 20 lbs! It has completely changed me. It has made me a better mom, wife, friend....person in general! I feel much more active and it gives me hope that I can accomplish anythng I put my heart to. As far as my goal.....well there is a funny....BUT true story!!! I was on skype with my sis Joanne and we were both talking about the challenge. And she wanted to tell me what her goal was and I wanted to tell her what my goal was.....and as we were saying the words....we both had the same goal!!!! It was not planned!!! WE are sisters that THINK like TWINS!!!! Scary enough...it is not the first time we think alike. We pretty much finish each others sentences!!!! Anyway, the goal is to FINALLY take a picture with my family for Christmas!!! I had the kids do a photoshoot a couple of years ago and the photographer asked me to be in some pics and I refused. I have always hidden from the camera. BUT I want to take those pics with my family this year!!!! NO MORE HIDING!!!!
I will check in later and let you know how I did with the water and crunches!!! Good Luck to everyone!!!

Good morning all,
Well, a huge accomplishment so far for me would be that I have been consistent in my exercising for the past 3 months. It has finally become a part of what I do. Before it was a struggle to make myself exercise.....NOT ANYMORE!!! Now I can't live without exercising.....Wow! Never thought I would ever hear myself say that.
My goal is to continue to work hard and incorporate running into my exericse routine. I want to start the Couch to 5K workout routine.0 -
Thanks much for this little push early in my program. I'm excited ... you must tend to rub off on others So the goal and accomplishments aren't daily ones ... but one thing each over the fourteen weeks? 0

Yes...it is a goal for your the 14 week journey.0 -
My accomplishment is that I have been able to take two long weekend trips in the past six weeks and come back without a gain. My goal for the challenge is to be able to buy a new outfit for Christmas in a smaller size.
My short-term goal (non challenge related) is to come back from this coming week's vacation without a gain. I need to have a little more confidence in myself. I made it four days in the past when traveling, can I stretch it to nine days this time?0 -
Help......I can't see the video.0

My biggest accomplishment was to stop smoking. A whole year being smoke-free yayyyy!!!!!
My goal is to be able to wear a size 16 and feel comfortable and continue to let exercising be apart of my life.0 -

I know exactly what you mean about being able to comeback from a vacation without a gain. I was away this summer for 18 days and I returned with a minor (1.2lbs) loss!!!! I was hoping to maintain while I was on vacation....so when I saw my loss....I was SUPER happy!!!! I am sure you will be able to come back from your vacation without a gain!!! You can do it!!!! And we all want to see your Christmas outfit!!!!! 0 -

CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!!!! Quitting smoking is a HUGE accomplishment!!!! And I am sure you will reach your goal also!!! You can do it!!! 0 -
I'm good on the water challenge, so I decided to make my challenge to try to stay under 2000mg of sodium a day. This is very hard for me, because even whe I think I'm doing ok, I'm going way over.
I will try to do 100 sit-ups a day for the next week. My thing is that I forget to do them.
One accomplishment I have made is to stop drinking soda. I tried soda for the first time in 5 1/2 weeks the other day. I said outloud to myself "how could I drink this stuff before."
One goal for me would be to run one more 4 mile run this year before it gets too cold and to me among the 1st in my age group to finish. I also want to be able to run a 10k which I'm almost sure I can do, but I have never tried it.0 -

It is great that you are challenging yourself with the sodium Wendy!!! Congrats on your accomplishment with the soda!!! I remember how hard it was for you in the beginning to give up the soda!!! YOU DID IT!!!!:)0 -
Thursday 9/13:
Water Intake: 1.5 liters (50.7 oz) about 6 1/2 cups....Need to work harder to get in the 64 oz/day!!!! But for Day 1, it is much better!!!
Crunches: 100 crunches in the evening 0 -
This is a great week 1 challenge!! 100 crunches per day is going to kick my butt, but that is exactly what I need and to be honest I NEVER drink water, so this will be huge!
One accomplishment of mine is that I finally started to cook things that were out of my comfort zone and found that I'm not all that bad
A goal that I would like to reach is to be back at my pre pregnancy weight and be physically fit! I want my old clothes back and It would be nice to one day look in the mirror and see some actual abs 0 -
Great video Pam! Well i don't have a big problem with water, but with soda! I am going to try diet and then ween myself off of that and then maybe just get down to water again.
I actually love crunches!! Although i may not do the whole 700 I like to work abs every other day, but I will still try to get as many as I can in.
Hmmm one accomplishment....I would have to say keep the 20 pounds off I've already lost because it could have been so easy to put it back on and now that its gone it can stay gone and I can start losing again.
One goal for this challenge would be to climb all the way to the third floor to my organic chemistry lab without getting winded!!0 -
i did 100- crunches Ouch
My accomplishment I lowered my cholesterol from 224 last year to186 this year and raised my good cholesterol and lowered the bad, and my doctor told my to keep doing what ever I am doing!
One goal is to be able to jog for 10 minutes with out stoping and also be able to ware a size 12
, i havent been a size 12 for over 30 years!0
