    I was really sick last week, but the upshot is that I lost two pounds. Now I just need to keep it off and let this jumpstart my month.

    Good Afternoon All!!

    Sorry I didn't post any challenges this morning...I didn't sleep well at all and I have some sort of digestive system bug that is absolutely killing me. No work for me today.

    I ate yesterday and logged but I'm so scared to eat now because of what is happening to me. I'm going to try but I have a feeling it won't be much.

    If you are doing a water challenge...keep focused and get your 8 glasses!!! I need to get more water so this will be my goal but I have no idea if I can do it today!

    If I'm feeling better I'll come on later!

    Hi all, Happy Monday!

    I just started drinking water about an hour ago, so I have a lot of catching up todo for today :sick: Anyways, this weekend I weighed in at 144.6 :bigsmile: :love: :drinker: in which I have not been near 144 in like almost 2 years! I went shopping on Saturday and bought a pair of size 6 jeans and jeans that were like 29 waist, so for me, this is a BIG improvement and I'm SUPER excited! I haven't been able to buy jeans this small in I don't know when!

    I didn't work out as much this weekend as I thought. Yesterday, I was doing the elliptical and 22 min. into my workout my ipod's battery ran out :sad: So, I could only do a half hour because without music, I can't really do much:ohwell: Anyways, because I am back to 144, I decided I can eat a lot of chocolate, carbs and bread with butter...so I have not weighed myself this morning. I will peek and see on Wednesday morning, but we'll see.

    Ok, today I'm going to spin after work and maybe run a couple of miles :bigsmile:

    Weigh in day.

    I changed my profile pic so the axes stretches forward to my goal date. The weight loss trend line (light blue) is still on target, but it wont stay that way without movement soon.

    I've been at the same weight for 15 days (except one day when I put on 1 kg, but that came straight off the next day).
    I did lose almost 0.75" from my waist in that time, but I can see from my profile pic that for the last 3 weeks I've been much less attentive than I was during the first 4 weeks. This is obvious since the red line is generally less steep and less consistent.

    Obviously my success so far has made me a bit lazy. I need to renew my efforts if I want to get that last 10lb.

    Yesterday was the first day of Autumn (fall) here, and its suddenly getting cold. SO... I need to start changing my diet to warming foods. I didn't do this quick enough and found myself munching on crap to keep warm (I get cold now that I have less padding).

    Anyway, I haven't fallen, just stalled a bit. And I've noticed it, so hopefully I'll get back into gear.

    This part is seriously tougher than the first bit!

    Me too! I weighed in this morning and I'm up a pound or so from Saturday an I went to spinning last night, danced and ran 5 miles this morning! My diet however, wasnt' too good this weekend and I didn't eat very good last night since I went out, so I'm gonna get back on track today! Lunch, I think I'm gonna lift or run some more and maybe do more cardio after work :sick:

    Hi all!!

    Still sick. I've been since since saturday. I logged my food (what I did eat) for yesterday and I was short about 800 calories. I'm now drinking Gatorade and eating crackers and the occasional banana. I'm a mess! I hoped on the scale because I know I've lost and I know it's not good! I've lost 3lbs (checked the scale yesterday) since my weigh in on Thursday. I'm giving it one more day and if I continue to feel this way I will be seeing a doctor. I have NEVER been this sick and especially for this long.

    Here to all the losers so far this week :drinker:

    Morning all!!

    I'm slowly starting to feel better. Not 100% yet but getting there!

    How is everyone doing with the water challenge? I personally haven't been well enough to keep track of what I'm actually drinking.

    How is everyone's personal exercise challenges going? I haven't been able to do my routine at home since last week...hoping to get back on that wagon soon!

    Hope everyone is well!!

    Okay, I've got to tell everyone about my new challenge. I've not really replied much to the water and exercise challenges because I really don't have problems with either of those. But I found out about the situps challenge from another thread I'm on, and I did the initial test last night. I'm excited to see my progress as my mid section needs some work! For anyone else interested in doing this with me, here's the link:
    www.twohundredsitups.com

    Let me know! I'd love to have some people to be accountable to!

    I definetly have issues with sit ups. I'm suppose to do it as part of my routine but I don't have a strong core just yet. I will check out the website when I get home! Good one :happy:

    Glad you are feeling better!

    Been working out - did a new workout last night since weather wouldn't allow me to get to the gym to run...did P90X Cardio Intervals - pretty good workout.

    Today is supposed to be 5 or 6 mile run-have 9 inches of snow-so not so sure how that will work-I may be doing the 30 day shred so that I get some strengh in and I'll run tomorrow. i'll see how the roads are a little later.

    That's a great idea! On the site they have two hunderd squats, twenty-five pull ups or hundred push ups challenges too! All look great!
