    Great job. I had lost 2+ lbs during the week but a TON of sodium and lack of water yesturday has me down only .6 this morning... lesson learned... this week i am going to buckle down... lots of water... no alcohol... and lots of exercise... I should be able to get back to last weeks weight and then some...

    Tonight the BF and I are putting up drywall in the guest room ... and I am going to take the pups for a run... plus my 100 crunches :wink:

    Our puppy Bandit learned to swim yesturday and LOVED it so I think we are going to try and swim at the beach after work this week too... I love the summer... it is so easy to exercise... because it is fun :)
  • Down .6 this week but it's been tough so I am happy to see a lost next week goal is to be in the 150's and I am starting a new workout routine so we will see!!!

    I started this challenge when I was holding onto some annoying water weight, sure enough the next day after I posted 177.0 as my starting weight, it dropped to 175.2 and now it's down to 174.2 lbs. Kinda crazy, but that's what too much sodium will do... lol. I'm getting really close to my goal of 170 lbs by 4th of July. About 2 weeks to get rid of 4 pounds, hard but not impossible.

    Woohoo! I lost 1.6 lbs! I was a little scared there as I went up 2 lbs in 2 days, but it was just TOM weight, which thankfully came off in time for the weigh in! I did an awesome 10 mile hike on Saturday and I am so sore, I am taking 2 days off this week instead of my usual 1.

    Keep up the great work everyone!! I'm excited to see how we all do next week!!
  • I completed my 100 crunches!! H20 will never be a problem it's alI I drink and a occassional cup of green tea(which I never log oopsss):ohwell:

    Yay! Down one pound! I'm completely shocked considering I was on a mini-vacation in Sin City, this will definitely keep me motivated to do 100 crunches EVERY DAY! I'm up for the challenge! H2O is never a problem for me.

    By the way, this is the first tread I'm a part of since joining MFP and I was wondering if we're notified when someone replies to our post??? Or do I have to look for it on the message boards. Please let me know :happy:

    TOM has hit me =( I'm up a pound. Not discouraged though I know it's only that annoying water weight. I drink tons of water too so I'm not too worried. GREAT CHALLENGE! Cannot wait!

    Updated! :smile:

    Tonight is my work out with my personal trainer....she always kicks my butt. Excited! Yesterday, I went to the gym and took a kickboxing class. What an AWESOME workout!! If you've never tried it, DO IT! I burned almost 800 calories in an hour and it was actually fun!

    I felt AWESOME during my workout tonight...but I'd feel even more awesome if I was retaining water like crazy!

    How is everyone else today?

    I managed to run 90 seconds without stopping today during my interval running. I've only done it a few times and 90 seconds is a new record... and I ran the 90 second intervals almost the whole time! I let myself have pizza for lunch today, so I made up for it with a good gym session. Aside from running, I also did the bike for 15 minutes and the elliptical for 10. My legs definitely got a nice workout. I'm hoping to get to 170 by 4th of July and it's gonna be a close one!

    Hey Ladies. So... I went on a wicked pizza binge last night... I am over it - it is a new day... and I can still get back on track for monday's weigh-in... LOTS of water and better eating habits for the rest of the week...

    I am also just counting calories... I will add carbs, sugar, fat etc. back in with time... right now I just need to focus on one thing... baby steps I guess...

    I hope everyone had a better day than me!!!

    00trayn sounds like you had a GREAT workout. Keep it up!!!

    Any ideas of how to get rid of retained water?? I've gain over 2lbs in the past two days; I know it's water, because I've worked out hard (over 650 calories each work out) and I was under my calories both days! I also gained 1/2" in my bust and waist measurements from last week. Uggh.

    I hate bloating.
  • Any ideas of how to get rid of retained water?? I've gain over 2lbs in the past two days; I know it's water, because I've worked out hard (over 650 calories each work out) and I was under my calories both days! I also gained 1/2" in my bust and waist measurements from last week. Uggh.

    I hate bloating.

    Water water and more water oh yeah and by the way did I say water!!Hahaha I know your thinking water but I'm complaining about water weight it will help flush your system because your water retention may be fro sodium so it will help flush that out and you need to watch your intake on sodium do you have that for a choice on your meal tracker if not I suggest you add it to keep a better eye on it!!

    Yep; that's what I'm doing. I'll just have to cut my sodium more and drink more water...I got 14 glasses yesterday!! I practically floated away! But that's 112oz. and I'm supposed to get 108oz. Crazy!

    I'm struggling with water weight this week as well, but mine is also due to TOM, though I know I can always cut more sodium out.

    How did you find out how much oz of water you're suppose to get?

    Feelin the burn from my 100 crunches a day! how's everyone doing with the challenge?

    I heard that you're supposed to get half your body weight in fluid oz. I'm 215, so I need about 108 oz.

    It changes A LOT depending on your weight, which makes sense. Someone who's 215lbs eats more calories than someone who's 130 lbs...so it seems to make sense that it would be different for water too!
  • Hey everyone just finished my 100 crunches and water was great today I hope everyone else is having a great week!!!

    Hey Ladies. So... I went on a wicked pizza binge last night... I am over it - it is a new day... and I can still get back on track for monday's weigh-in... LOTS of water and better eating habits for the rest of the week...

    I am also just counting calories... I will add carbs, sugar, fat etc. back in with time... right now I just need to focus on one thing... baby steps I guess...

    I hope everyone had a better day than me!!!

    00trayn sounds like you had a GREAT workout. Keep it up!!!

    Glad you're not obsessing over the binge, I think a lot of people restrict themselves so much during their quest to get healthy they forget to LIVE a little...as long as it doesn't turn into an everyday thing you're fine =) Good job with babysteps, that's smart!

    Thanks... I am of the mind set that what is done is done... move on... I don't punish myself for a bad day... just try extra hard the next to stick with the plan... in some ways I think slip-ups like mine help... shocks the system a bit... haha... and gets me to refocus on why I am doing this...

    anyways I have been doing GREAT with drinking my water... I have to play a bit a catch up with the crunches but I will hit 700 by the end of the week :drinker: just need to do an extra 100 today...

    Keep up the great work ladies.

    Tonight is my night out... :smokin:

    I'm getting annoyed by this water weight thing. +2.2 lbs in 2 days!

    I know it doesn't make sense to be frustrated....but it's annoying that it's something I can't control.

    So today's goal is to do the best I can, work out HARD tonight and stop caring about the number on the scale. As long as I stick at or under my calories and work out hard, my body will figure itself out sometime!
