    I did a 5k around my neighborhood today. I did my 5 min warm up and was able to run the rest of the time. Now I need to work on my time.

    Have a Very Merry Christmas!

    12/17 - 211,2 (+) -- sodium from yesterday, I'm hoping -- ugh!
    12/24 - 211.2 -- I guess better than gaining MORE?

  • I went for a walk today. Not five K but probably about half that. I'm just proud to have gone out at all. It would have been way easier to stay in and eat and drink in my cozy apartment! Thanks for the challenge! Will do again tomorrow!
  • I hope I'm not too late for this V-day challenge! :) Good luck to everyone!

    Valentine's goal weight: 130

    My name is Cecy and I'm 21 years old.

    I'm a full-time undergrad student graduating in May 2011 looking to get into HR.

    Goal Weight: 104

    My name is Emiko and I joined this site to lose my last pounds of flab. I initially lost over 60 lbs and have now hit a plateau. The last 10-15 lbs are getting extremely hard to lose and I feel like the fat is permanently attached to my body, and the scale doesn't seem to want to move. This challenge sounds like fun, and a great way to keep me accountable. Otherwise, I like spending time with my family and friends, and aside from chocolate (the obvious), I have a serious addiction to makeup and fragrance. :)

    is that to walk or run 3 miles for the whole weekend or walk or run 3 miles each day for the weekend?

    I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I'm ready to get my eating and exercise back to normal. Also, I'd love to get my house back to normal...boxes and paper and gifts all over...I'm trying to ignore it for at least today.

    I'm weighing in a day early because tomorrow I'm going to disneyland and I dont think I'll be online. So as you can see Christmas obviously took place lol. I'm kinda dissapointed but also kind of think it was worth it to just relax and enjoy myself. I will soon be on track again. Tomorrow wont be so bad because the last time I went to disneyland I walked over 10 miles and burned about 3000 calories! ( I know that thanks to my gowearfit haha). Then I plan on eating and drinking it up on new years eve and then new years the resolutions begin. Oh and I took before pictures so hopefully in 7 weeks I'll be prepared to take after pictures.

    Man this is frustrating! I just don't know what I'm doing wrong! I hoping that my before and after pictures show me something that the scale isn't. I've been working so hard and eating so well, if I don't see some results soon I might just :sad:
  • Hi everyone, went awol for a bit there but back now!! Hope everyone had a fantastic christmas. Welcome to all the newcomers :flowerforyou: feel free to add me as a friend :smile:

    Weigh in day again and not a good one but no surprise there since I was quite naughty over christmas and didnt get as much exercise in as i would have liked due to having a house full!

    i wanted to do this challenge but since i hit a tree on my toboggan and hurt my leg i can't do this weekend's challenge :(
  • This may not be a true weight this morning as I am on a liquid diet and cleanse until I get a cancer check this afternoon. I only consumed 800 calories yesterday. Still, my scale yesterday was only 2lbs heavier so I consider it progress nonetheless - we'll see what tomorrow brings. Oh and AF is due today too so I'm sure I'm screwed up all over the place where the scale is concerned! I usually gain a couple of pounds because of it so...???!!!!

    I only walked the one day. :( Still, it was good to get out even the one time.
