:flowerforyou: Do you need a weekend boost? I sure do! Many times the weekend is a challenge to get through and we end up undoing everything we worked so hard for through the week. Take the Skinny Saturday Challenge and finish your weekend with a smile on your face! Here's what it entalis:

Think double, double, double!
Double your exercise~ :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Double your water intake (within healthy limits)~ :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
Double your willpower to stop eating after dinner and log every tidbit that crosses those lips! :happy: :happy: :happy:

Just let us know now if you are in....then check in and out when you can tomorrow to let us know how it is going and encourage someone else. Grab a buddy and make the c ommitment! There is power in numbers....I know one thing for sure.....

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN!

    Great idea! I am already dreading the weekend haha and especially tonight. I am going to a sushi birthday dinner with a friend. I do plan on working out tomorrow (normally don't) so any work out tomorrow will be a great workout! Going to do my normal 45 mins of cardio tonight after work too to offset dinner. I will check in :)

    I'm in!
    Fortunately I work all weekend doing housekeeping so it won't be much different from normal days! Not too fun, but healthier!
    The gym isn't open on weekends when I get home.
    i only started going again last night and am soooo sore!
    I might do some cardio when I get home tonight. Take the dog for a run i think.
    Run/walk anyway.
    Hoping today will be my best for food

    GOOD LUCK!

    Okay, I'll give it a whirl! Not sure about doubling my exercise though. I already do an hour workout on Saturday and I look forward to my Sunday rest day:ohwell: , but I'll attempt to do some form of exercise on Sunday. Unfortunately, I struggle with getting in 8 glasses of water a day, but I know I need to improve on this. Let's go!

    It was "sleep in Saturday" for me. But I am about to embark on the day. Having breakfast then going off to the gym for my regular routine workout. My workout #2 today will be to help move furniture around with a friend this afternoon! So glad you have this thread going Dawn!

    Did Shred level 2 this morning, and I just got back from an hour walk. It's so beautiful outside, I love this fall weather!

    Let's do this every Saturday :)

    Man I drank so much water today I am floating LOL
    I didn't get to eat all my calories today and I was still under the 1200 (even if I hadn't exercised). Tomorrow and monday are no gym so we will see how this goes. I won't be near a computer tomorrow and a good part of monday so I will have to do the diary the old fashioned way, hand written LOL

    Good job everyone on the Skinny Saturday Challenge!

    okay Late check in for me. I managed to take the kids for an easy 8 mile bike ride:happy: only went over my calories by 100 which is super good for me on the weekends especially when my husband is home ( whats up with his daily allowance being 1000 calories more than mine btw:sad: ) so now on to Sunday I am about to embark on my easy run (4 miles 11 min pace) and a round of weights at planet fitness) I am really not feeling it this morning:grumble:
