    I am so excited to read about everyone's journey. I have gotten my water in for the day but not all of the exercise, although, I did get in 35 minutes. My husband and I went out to eat at Golden Corral which makes it hard to keep track of calorie consumption, but I think I got everything listed and I will not 300 more calories to be on the safe side.

    So, question of the day:

    What new item have you tried this last week?

    I have tried couscous and a couple of new recipes.

    Post your weight every Monday and check here often for challenges and encouragement. This group is great!! And don't forget to share your success with the rest of us! The challenge for today I believe is drink 10 cups of water, stay under your calories, and get 60 minutes of exercise.

    Hi all!

    I'm joining in here, albeit a bit late.

    I live in Australia but am going home to Canada for Christmas this year-- first time in three years! I'm very excited and my Aussie boyfriend will be meeting my family for the first time, so I'd like to be as fit as possible by then!

    I don't have heaps and heaps to lose so it comes off slowly and I highly doubt I could get rid of more than ten pounds by then, so that's my goal!

    Age: 26
    Height: 5'9"
    CW: 160
    GW by Christmas: 150
    Ultimate goal weight: 136 (my happiest size)

    Good luck all :)

    Hi everyone, just checking in. Didn't get a chance to check in yesterday. No loss no gain this week. Am focused & determined to see some progress on the scales by next weigh in.

    Congrats to everyone who has lost this past week. Well done. I'll check back in later. Cheers

    the goals I've met for today... 60 minutes of exercise, calories doubled from last Monday, under calories, AND only 8 glasses of water
    Not too shabby for my first day, eh?!

    I only weigh in once a week and that day is on Wednesday. I don't want to change that because it will just mess my routine up so i'm just going to start posting my prior Wednesday weighs ins for the Monday weigh in here. Last WI was at 164 ....

    Today I had 13 cups of water, I exercised for 40 minutes, cleaned for an hour and tried to move a lot and dance around as I was cleaning. :smile: I doubled my calories from last week, and thanks to the exercise, stayed under my calories.
