Good morning! Yay! We've got new challengers! Welcome to MissJasminee, Losinit4life (hey friend!
), and E2Camile! Thanks for joining ladies, I know that you will reach your goals!
For those ladies doing Leslie DVDs - WATP - I love those, too. I have a few of her DVDs and even gave some away and I still have quite a few. I really enjoy her walks after work. She also has MP3s of her walks so that you can use them on the treadmill or the elliptical.
And Kyoung - good for you! 3 lbs down is impressive!
Keep it going ladies!0 -

Everyone is so motivated! I had a bad day yesterday- super snacky sweet tooth going on and I indulged it. And I didn't do a workout. I was feeling very down and then remembered I just need to leave yesterday alone and focus on doing well today! So goal today is to snack on carrot sticks or just drink water instead. And to get a good workout in!0

Welcome new challenger, Vdeanel! How cool that you want to join an adult sporting league! Which sport do you want to play?
Em, you have the right idea. We can't change yesterday, but stay the course for today. The phrase that usually gets me through those hard times is, "Just for today". I think that I can manage as long as I'm thinking just for today.0 -
Hi ladies! I was thinking about it today, and I think that we should have some Official Weigh-in Days. I'm thinking that the Official Weigh-ins will be: February 21, April 21, and the final day of the challenge, June 21.
Everyone can submit their weight on the their regular weigh in days, and update the challenge as much as they want, but I think that this will help provide better markers. After re-reading Serene's post, I think that this is what she meant by weigh in days, and I missed what she meant. Sorry about that!
I'll post this in the lead post for anyone new. Also, feel free to update your original post with your goal weights for each official weigh in. I'll update mine here, and again, in the lead post.
Sorry for any confusion ladies! Let's get it!

How are you calculating how much weight you want to lose by the dates ? I have MFP set for 1 lb a week, just so I won't add any pressure on myself, should I just use that? Although I would love to aim for 2 lbs a week. Just not sure how to go about setting a goals without beating myself up... I can be my worst enemy, I plan on weighing myself tomorrow, I thought TOM would be done today, but I should be good on tomorrow and I will do my WI on Sundays and on the groups required dates as well.0 -
Hey there Nette!
I choose those numbers based on the amount of weight that I chose that I wanted to lose per month. It is my goal to lose 5% of my body weight each month. That seems pretty lofty, but factors to about 3lbs per week.
If you are aiming for 1lb lost per week, that's perfect. Please, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I want you to feel the challenge, not defeat. 0 -

1. workout 5 days a week
2. Find healthy recipes and cook at home atleast 4 times a week
3. Find a new workout to do at home if I can't make it to the gym0 -
Welcome to our newest challengers Tricelive and Chocobis09!!! You ladies please come in and make yourselves at home! I look forward to getting slim for summer with you!
I want to clarify something that I commented to Nette about. (Can you tell this is my first time running a challenge?) If you don't have specific goals for the official weigh-in dates, that is just fine. I don't want anyone to feel pressured by this, I want it to be as light hearted and fun as possible. We will just use those dates as markers, not necessarily for goal setting.
I put in numbers for myself, but YOU DO NOT have to do the same. I really hate to change it up again, and I hate to confuse folks so I'm sorry if I have. Just know that this challenge is not supposed to be one that easily derails anyone.
Now, with all that said, I'm down 2 lbs. today!:bigsmile: YES!
Happy weigh-ins to our Sunday ladies, and I hope yesterday went well for those who weigh in on Saturday!0 -

Very happy with this number. I worked out 6 days and I was very good with drinking water. I actually got in over 10 cups a couple of days. This has always been one of my challenges so I'm really focusing on getting the H20 in....it makes such a difference.
