    For the new ones - we just finished our first month last week, and this friday are starting a new month, beginning Friday.

    Every Friday morning we post our weight (and measurement - if you want) changes for the past week.

    It's pretty motivating - and glad to have everyone on board for round 2!!!

    Week 1 Weight 124.8
    Week 2 Weight 124.2

    Me too. I thought the competition would give me the kick i needed. I have made bad food choices since last week. I was mostly good, but then blow it at dinner. I have exercised, but not like i should. I'm trying to work on that more.

    Anyway...here goes...

    Starting weight: 219

    Current weight: 218

    okay people here is some friendly motivation :happy: always when you are looking at food and really wanting it, think to yourself "who am i cheating?" "it is me thats who!!!"(meaning yourself) that is what i do then I turn around get some water and put LOTS of distance between me and the bad food choice. It does not always work but most of the time it does. Just look at yourself and say I want better!!!!! you can do it!!!!!!

    OKAY SO A NEW GOAL FOR NEXT WEEK(if you want to) Since it is the last week of our competition. I SAY we should rub in all the excersise that we are doing!!!

    WHY you ask????

    1: It will force slackers like me to actually excersise
    2: It will give eachother new ideas
    3: It will let you see what other people are doing and maybe give you the kick in the pants you need to get out there yourself (aimed also at myself:laugh: )

    So this week

    Saturday go for a walk with my kids-1 mile and clentching my buns for extra muscle tone:blushing:
    Sunday i'm going to do an activity with my whole family
    Monday go to the park and play with my kids
    Tuesday 30 min workout video and 50 situps
    Wed go for a walk with my kids
    Thursday 30 min work out video and 50 situps
    Friday NOTHING:bigsmile:

    So when all of you guys check back in feel free to add what you're going to do this week
    so that I can steal some of your amazing ideas:smile:
