Hi Everyone!

By reading the news feed it looks like everyone has had a great week. And so far everyone seems to have surpassed their goal this week. I love the first week, its when its new and you try your hardest. But, I hope we all remember this is a marathon and not a sprint. I am hoping we all learn skills to keep ourselves healthy for the rest of our lives and not just while we are on this team.

If your weight loss did not show up on the news feed, please send me a message or post it on this thread. Also, I need everyone to post or message me your exercise by hours this week and I will put it on the spreadsheet. After I get everyone's information I will post our progress this week.

    I lost 3.8 pounds this week and exercised 5 hours. I will admit that I had a huge fight with my boyfriend and didn't eat much. So this next week will be harder for me.

    I joined a week late, so I did my first weigh in today.

    My goal for this week is:
    Walk to and from work at least 2 times this week.
    Complete the Hannibal Cannibal 5K walk.
    Not give in to stress eating!

    No real loss this week. Had a lot of high sodium foods over the weekend and I'm retaining water bad.

    Goals for this week: Going on vacation - I want to stay active and do lots of activities outdoors this week!! Hiking, the 30 day challenge workout, canoeing, volleyball and badmiton. Stay busy and active - exercising a LOT so I dont have to worry about being over on calories when I enjoy my meals! :laugh:

    First week check in totals - I have everyone's weight loss in the spreadsheet. As a team we committed to losing 8 pound a week. Drum roll please! We lost 24.6 pound this week! Great job everyone!

    I still don't have everyone's exercise totals by hour for the week, if you want me to track that for you please send me your hours.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
