    WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! If you failed - how and why did you fail, come on it's confession time! I knew would fail before I even began. It was "that time" and I didn't deny myself the craving. But since I lost 3 pounds I don't feel bad. I will do the sit-ups, starting tonight, promise.

    Update from yesterday's post:

    AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 268

    Really getting on myself about my food. I need to clean it up and get it together. I honestly can't say I'm surprised I didn't lose. Next week is a different story.

    Did 40 crunches yesterday so I'm nice and warmed up for the challenge starting today!

    I made a promise to my husband to make sure I got out of bed in the morning even if I don't want to. Well he did just that this morning. At the time I was not happy at all, just wanted to sleep and justified doing it tonight like I always do. Well tonight would come and I wouldn't do it. So thanks hubby for being my motivation! I got up and did 50 min of cardio!

    Hello everyone! :)

    Current Starting Weight: 148

    C.W. 147

    I am so happy I lost one pound. :)

    I was worried about the chocolate I had, but the exercise helped me burn the calories. :)

    Now, I can't wait to do 50 or more sit ups. :)

    Good luck everyone.

    I had a chocolate biscuit before I read this thread, but didn't touch chocolate until this morning when the week was up!

    Can't believe I lost so much, I lost 2in off waist too! Don't expect a similar loss next week though, and can't do the sit-ups cos my ankle is sprained, but I might try girly press ups instead!

    WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 167.8! Worked my *kitten* off for it (It literally hurts!)
    AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 166.9
    WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! Almost- ate a very small corner of a brownie to check if it was stale (great reason to fail) and an Andes mint chocolate- for my mom's birthday- it's a tradition.

    Already did my 50 sit-ups for today- had to do them in three sets- hoping I will be much better at getting all the way through them in one shot by next week! Woohoo!

    WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! Unfortunately no :( This week was nuts work-wise and I did resort to chocolate between evening meetings to keep me going (Bad I know, but I didn't have a choice. Better snacks have been packed into my fridge so I don't do it again).

    WEIGHT THIS WEEK: - 4lbs from last week!
    AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: - 1lbs (I'm wondering if I'll see some of that 4lbs come back?!)
    WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! Managed a full week w/out it. No major cravings for it either :)

    I'd prefer to put +/- in for my weights instead of what I do weigh. Personal preference. :blushing:

    Yes, because I get my daily fix from the Myoplex Chocolate Shakes. They do not contain "real" chocolate - so I count it as a success!

    Good Luck in meeting your goals ...

    Lost 2 pounds this week. : :happy:

    14 Week Goal: 135

    Just caught this weeks challenge. 30 Day Shred has crunches in it so I'm getting them in. Met last weeks challenge. Must admit I wanted a piece of dark chocolate once or twice but managed to keep it at bay because I thought of this thread.
