    Well I busted my knee falling on concrete while playing with my dog last night, so I'm out of commission on the exercise for a couple days while the swelling and pain goes down. But I do plan on staying in my calorie range and drinking more water! I might go for a short wobble (it's a walk with a limp haha) tonight depending on how I'm feeling.

    Welcome to the bunch of new people that joined in! Looks like we've got some good competition in here now :wink:

    Ouch!!!!!

    Lots of ice (or in my case frozen peas) and keep it elevated!!!!!

    Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!:noway: My handy dandy notebook is filling up quite nicely, thank you!

    Welcome one and all. Good luck with your goals and weight (and inch) loss:bigsmile:

    It's 8.15am, here in Blighty, and I have managed to complete my cardio, weights, push-ups, sit-ups and I'm 3 glasses into my 8 goal!
    Bargain!

    My loverly girlies are back at home and, although they tried to hi-jack my new bed, they have managed not to get on my nerves yet!!!! I must point out, when they've stayed for any length of time with their dad, they come back and start arguing and being mean to each other, but so far, so good!

    Hey - think i forgot to post, i'm at 150.5.

    Awesome that it's not even 9am and you've knocked out so much! i'm going to take a weight-based gym class after work, and since i'll have time to kill before that, i might do some warm-up cardio as well.

    my goals: to remember to take those supplements of mine!
    neeeeeeed to drink more. cut down on snacking. and most of all, gym classes at least 3x a week, cardio/weights/ and yoga. elliptical will be on my class "off" days. not sustainable, but it's for a jump start. in two weeks, if I could drop 3-4 pounds, that would be lovely.

    Pah! i've tried uploading a chart of everybody's stats but it's not working!!!!!:sad:

    Ah well, you are all in my notebook and a chart on my computer!:bigsmile:

    I know some of the previous hosts of the challenge have set a 'GROUP' goal weight loss. Are we up for it??:wink:

    As there's 35 of us, do you think 52.5lbs is attainable? That's 1.5 lbs per person, over the 2 weeks of the challenge.

    Goals:
    3 lbs in 2 weeks - GW = 182
    Log on everyday
    Be at/under calories at least 5 days per week (weekends are scaring me)
