    Hello!

    Well I am on a role guys and feeling great. I am hoping I can hang on to these feelings. I am a realist. No binges, but good clean eating even though I am still going over my calories.

    I checked the scale today....:-) and I am down from weekend weigh in. I can't help it but I am not weighing every day now so I will take it. I actually got on the scale because I thought I was up and wanted to see how much so I was pleasantly surprised. I will wait until weekend to record it. I still hope to get in 3 days under 2,000. If not I will keep trying because I want to be in the calorie range I need to be in for life.

    Good job everyone!! We can do it!

    I have an idea, what do you all think about me posting a chart every month. I didnt want to set a limit on this group as to the number of people who can join like many other groups do, because I feel everyone has a right to be in the group. With the charts when their made, because we have so many people, when its uploaded to photobucket, its very hard to read. Since this is a mid to long term group because we will be checking in until July or until you lose your 50 lbs, so I was thinking of posting a progress chart every month. I hope that's ok with everyone. I really liked the 3500 calorie burn challenge this week. I still want to push everyone to keep going. I have been looking online for a new challenge that we can push ourselves with starting Friday. Thank you everyone for joining this group, having patience with the chart, and thank you for pushing yourself to succeed.

    I would LOVE to join this group! You guys are so amazing!! This is for real a crazy CRAZY challenge, but I KNOW we can do it! WHEN I meet the challenge (not if!), I will be only 14 pounds shy of having a normal bmi...I haven't seen that in 10 years!

    Starting...last time I weighed, on Monday 1/3, I was 209
    Goal for July 1, 159



    My boyfriend and I are doing this other challenge that ends on July 1--for every day that passes since 1/1/11, you do that many reps of push-ups, dumbell rows, and squats...I adapted the exercises for my girlieness...Here's the link with info on that one if you want...http://chadwaterbury.com/waterbury-challenge-2011/?utm_source=getresponse&utm_medium=email&utm_content=The+2011+Waterbury+Challenge+Starts+Today!&utm_campaign=chadwaterbury


    By July 1, I will lose 50 pounds and be able to do 182 push-ups! heck yes! :happy:

    Chart every month is good. Are we still weighing in every week though?

    Yes, please weigh in every week. We will keep weighing in every saturday or Friday if you can't make Sat. Because we do have a lot of people and so that we can notice when you lose, I think it would be a good idea to say what you weigh, how much you lost, and how many pounds left of the 50 lb challenge do you have to go.

Tonight I will be on my stair machine as I watch Jersey Shore and I will not get off that thing until i have a serious burn in. Then my left over calories i will burn at a last chance workout tomorrow day and night. Thank you everyone for participating. I am proud of all of you.
