    Checking in today....199.6, up 1.6 from last week...but, I know why...it was NEW YEARS!!!!!! Plus, TOM showed up & was not helpful, but we shall see what this week has in store. I am really reevaluating my diet, and while I eat mostly well, my weakness is sweet stuff. I am going to make more of an effort to minimize my sweets intake & pump up my fruit & veggie intake. You guys help to keep me accountable & I have been hovering around the same weight & that can be seen as good because I'm not gaining, but bad because I am trying to lose the weight. But all in all, I am at a place where I want to challenge myself to actually achieve my goals, not just talk about them & I know with a lot of hard work & being very disciplined & diligent, I will achieve them over time, but I have to give my BEST effort & some days I feel like I am just all around slacking in my eating. So, I am going to put up or shut up! I MUST do better with my eating...working out isn't my problem because I love to do it, but, my diet is!

    Good luck to all of you all. Congrats to the losers, better luck next week to any who gained. To everyone: Be & STAY encouraged & motivated. We can be who we believe we can be, have what we want to have and go where we want to go...it takes time & we all can make small changes daily to help us all acheive our goals!

    Have a great week!

    I'm a late join if that's ok! It just so happens that I bought my scale on Dec 26, so I fit perfectly into this challenge!

    I'm Sarah and I'd like to get in great shape, not 'decent' like I am now. I'm also pushing the edge of an 'unhealthy' BMI and I need to get that back under control. I do my weigh-ins on Sundays, and yesterday was my very first!!

    starting weight 167.4 (dec 26, 2010)
    current weight 163.4! (jan 2, 2011)

    I am so thrilled to lose 4 lbs in my first week of effort, I know I can lose 10 by feb!!

    Checking in - no loss for me this week, still 182.
    Things are slowly getting back to normal here after the Christmas/New Year festivities, still have the kids on holidays for the month of January but I am hoping to really get back to it. Finally removed the Christmas tree so I have room for the treadmill again, just need to use it now :laugh: Logging my food today for the first time in weeks so that is a good start I guess, I WILL do it!!

    Congrats to everyone who has lost weight, it is such a tough time of year but when I see that so many of you guys can do it then I figure that I can do it too!!

    MONDAY CHALLENGE:

    WEIGH IN DAY!!!
    :glasses:

    10 Glasses Water
    40% rule for Exercise- Take 40% of your Body weight and exercise that many minutes. You can choose any activity...mix it up if you like, do weights, cardio, play basketball, whatever

    Example: If you weigh 100 Pounds 40% is 40 Pounds so you would exercise 40 Minutes

    And of couse Under Calories



    TUESDAY CHALLENGE:

    H2O Tuesdays= 12 Glasses Water!!! Come on! This will be for EVERY TUESDAY!

    Under Cals and Add 5 Minutes of exercise to whatever your % was yesterday. So if you were "supposed" to do 45 minutes then today you are "supposed" to do at least 50 minutes! :grumble:

    Made the water...but only did 50 minutes of exercise, unless I can throw in my cleaning I did....I should have had 69 minutes of exercise, but oh well...thats probably the most consececutive exercise I've done in a long long time.

    Hey I had to get a new scale and discovered that my starting weight was 210.6 and not 188. I weighed in today and was 204.6 so I lost 6lbs. Sorry about all that. I am glad to see six pounds lost. :smile:
