    Hello there! I'm not doing as much as I should but I'm still moving my body and eating pretty well. I got a little overzealous celebrating my birthday and just have to figure out how to get back on track 100%. I'm also doing a 30 day squat challenge which has helped quite a bit....my legs are screaming for mercy. This is day 12 and we are up to 65 per day with jump squats being added this go round. I refuse to give up because the challenge isn't over yet. I gained so much weight last holiday season and I don't want to do that again. Time to guzzle my 30 oz of water!

    So far, so good. The Saturday morning weigh ins are great for accountability.

    Well I havent dropped any pounds since the start of the challenge but Im starting to firm up my exercise schedule. Have started doing several classes at the local leisure centre, and trying to figure out which ones Im going to stick at. Have done my final training run this evening for my 5k on Sunday. Very nervous, but very excited!!!

    Things are going great over here! I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow!! Yesterday I was feeling really lazy looking to make 3 days in a row with no exercise.. until suddenly I realized I only have 2 more chances to work out before our weigh in and I'm worried about my weight..

    ..Today I jumped on the scale and hit my first reward weight! I can't wait to get my pedicure (reward)!!!

    Things are going ok. No Loss this week but i have worked out more. I need to get the eating right thing down. I do good for a few days and then I end up binging on what ever i can find even if i'm not hungry. But every meal is a new meal and I am going to push on and not give up this time. Congrats to all of you who are doing good!!

    The challenge is going good. I had a little bit of a gain last week so i am hoping for a loss tomorrow morning. My exercise has not been that great this week as I did not make it to the gym on Tues or Wed night. I have not made my water goal everyday but will make it next week.

    i am struggling with exersise outside of work days. i am a housekeeper at a hospital and i work vigoursly and hard 3-4 days a week but because i am a float some times i have 3 or more days off in a row and i just sit here or go on a slow walk, not exersise at all really. but i am losing weight and even inches, so i have been doing well but i could (and will) be doing better.

    Hi guys......haven't been on for awhile as was on vacation in Costa Rica!!!! Didn't do too well on the diet...but was VERY active with hiking, white water tubing, zip-lining, horseback riding....and walks on the beach....so hopefully the scale will not be too cruel!

    I weigh in on Thursdays and REFUSE to weigh in before then!

    Am back now and re-motivated. Did good on the diet today and went for a 2 hour Fall Color Hike today!

    Keep up the good work everyone!
