    So this week, I really pushed it on my workouts. I had two days that I did a morning and evening workout, which helped make up for the two other days I couldn't work out. I went out of town for a wedding, but worked out hard on Saturday morning to make sure I would have plenty of calories for the evening. I'm proud of how I did. I indulged in foods that I haven't had in a while (pasta with cream sauce, chocolates, cake, wine, rolls) but I had them in reasonable portions and I always kept my mind on what I'm trying to accomplish. There is a way to indulge without completely going overboard!!

    I'm down 1.6 lbs this week, bringing me just 7.6 lbs and about 4 weeks away from my next goal. I'm gonna make that goal, I can feel it! These next two weeks are going to be a challenge. I'm starting my first year of medical school on Thursday and we have all kinds of things to do all day and most evenings from Thursday through next Friday. That'll make workouts hard to fit in, but I've already put them in my busy schedule and I made a commitment to myself to keep going strong on my workouts. It makes me feel so much better about myself and helps me to reach my goals.

    So, shall we set our own goals for this week or have a group goal??

    How about this, I've been trying to make sure I get enough fiber in my diet, so how about our group goal can be to work on getting enough fiber (you can set your diary to track it for you) AND you can set your own personal goal! FYI; You should get at least 20g of fiber!!

    My personal goal will be to get in all my workouts throughout these next two weeks, no matter what! What's your personal goal?

    up a bit. but not bad considering i have been MIA for the past week... back on track and still down 2.6 from the start... TOM may also have something to do with that number... so next week I am aiming for 152... it seems like a lot to drop but I know I can do it... then I will be closer to being on track... only off by 0.6

    I managed to lose 2 1/2 pounds since the last weight in, and I actually was down to 168.6 lb yesterday morning. I decided just to put what I saw this morning on the scale, but I don't think it's entire accurate since it was before I used the bathroom... hahaha. I've dropped a few pounds in like the last 4 or 5 days. Not entirely sure why, but I'll take it! I'm finally below the cutoff for being overweight, and that was my first milestone. Now i've reset my goal to 140, which is a healthy weight. I also ran a mile for the first time ever on Thursday.

    I'm up for the fiber challenge, I already track it on my food diary. And for my personal challenge, I want to replicate my feat of running one mile so that I know it's not a fluke... haha.

    For some reason my weigh-in from last week was incorrect. WIth the correct weight, I'm only down .5, not sure why since I've been working my butt off at the gym!. This morning I logged in 4.0 miles on the treadmill in 50 mins. I'm not that disappointed with my weigh-in since I know I've been working hard at the gym and it will eventually show. Plus, I feel great!
    TOM is around the corner so that might have something to do with it.

    Challenge sounds great, I'm going to have lentils tonight for dinner. Hitting 20g of Fiber today should not be a challenge today. My personal challenge will be to hit 130 lbs. next weigh-in, I have not seen that number in years. Good luck to everyone and have a healthy week!

    We'd love to have you! We're all working to lose 20 lbs in 20 weeks. We're on Week 6 right now, so you're not too late! We weigh in on Mondays and we have weekly challenges. This week's challenge is to get at least 20 grams of fiber every day and we are all coming up with our own personal challenges for this week also.

    Feel free to copy the list of names, starting weights and current weights and add your name to the bottom!

    It's good I put 169.6 lbs yesterday as my weigh in. That's what it said on the scale again this morning. I think on Sunday when I saw 168.6 lbs, it was from only eating 1000 calories a day and being somewhat dehydrated from a party weekend... haha. I don't want to change my ticker so it only says 30 lbs lost, so I'll just stick with it and log another pound lost when I see below 168.0 lbs.

    I'm going to attempt my personal challenge for the week today: Run a mile, again. I've kind of abandoned the C25K plan and I'm just running the intervals that I feel comfortable doing for 30 minutes. I might extend it to 40 minutes if I'm trying to run more. That way I can take sufficient walking breaks to recover. I think today I'll run a mile, walk for 5 minutes, and then try to run for at least 6 minutes for half a mile. I'll see how it goes, I have a lot more confidence now that I've done it once already.

    nice job 00trayn!

    Hello everyone!!

    I am trying to get my fiber in. Yesterday was 17g and today it has been 13g so far. The challange I have given for myself is to also get my protein.

    For some reason today I feel like I could just eat all day. Does anyone else have days like that? I had breakfast, a snack, and just had lunch, but I feel like I could anything and everything that I can get my hands on. I am fighting from wanting to go to the vending machine and get something. Maybe I will go for a walk before my lunch is over.

    Good luck everyone!!! Keep up the good work!

    I've been doing pretty well with the fiber challenge this week. I upped mine from 14g to 20g (MFP had set it at 14g and I never bothered to change it). I've hit it every day this week, my whole wheat sandwich slims help to get there.

    I also did my personal challenge of running a mile again. It was actually harder this time, I wasn't breathing as well and I don't think I warmed up properly. I'm gonna go again today and give myself a better warmup. Hopefully that helps. My heart rate was much higher this time (179ish compared to 162) and I have no idea why.
