I have logged your CW & your GW......if you would like to add it to this thread, fill free to do so.

Each week, lets begin with Monday morning with our goal for the week. I don't know about you, but I tend to do better with added pressure.

I am looking forward to hearing all the weigh-ins on Saturday. Especially mine, since I have been having a very difficult time staying on task. Nothing like a little added pressure, huh? Good luck everyone!!!!!

    Great! How will I get back here. Where is the link?
    SW: 166
    week 1 GW: 164

    My goal is to consistently lose 2 lbs a week, for a total of -14 lbs for this challenge. :flowerforyou:
    I'm sort of expecting big changes right off the bat, because I usually have a couple glasses of wine or cocktails most every day after work, and because of it I often run over my calorie allotment... but I haven't had any alcohol in 6 days (since last Wednesday, had to look it up :), and I haven't had a soda since last Thursday 2/24.

    If anyone has any filling breakfast suggestions for IBS sufferers, please post a link or the recipe, meal. Thanks

    I weighed in last Friday and this was 164.6 lbs. I'd like to get to 163 by Saturday, but I have been sick since last Saturday and I just don't think I could push myself to keep doing the 30 day Shred as I had started last Monday. Once I get over this cold I'll be back on it and getting on my bike afterwards too. For now I have to rely on my calories. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be better.

    SW 190
    GW for Saturday is 189

    I hope the best for everyone. I was able to do my full 90 minutes today minus 1 minute. I really hope that I will be able to do that the rest of the week. Providing my youngest son will stop being mean to everyone and start listening, so that I can stay my whole time at the gym.

    SW: 146.2
    GW for Saturday: 145.5
    GW for Challenge: 140

    I weighed in this morning like I usually do and it said 144. So, as long as that doesn't go up then I've already reached this weeks goal. Now I guess I need to work at keeping it down.

    Good luck everyone.

    What's the procedure for this contest? Do we just post here and the leader update everything or do we post to the main 7 week challenge board as well?

    So far no chocolate for me!!! (Except my allowable breakfast drink, of course).

    According to the one who set this up, they have already split the teams. You can always follow along though. Your totals just will not be added in when we do the weigh in, Saturday. But, I personally would love to see your accomplishments.

    Hey everyone,

    I am currently 169
    Saturday goal - 168

    I haven't had any chocolate which I usually do everyday so I'm kind of psyched. I wish I didn't like sweets so much. I think I like sweets more than my kids.

    Good luck to you all and go south!

    This week has been really hard for me. All of my family is in town for the wedding and they are far from healthy eaters. I've been staying under my calories, which is good, but I haven't been eating as healthy as normal. This week and next week (the honeymoon) are going to be hard to stay on the diet. But after the honeymoon, I'm starting the Couch to 5K program and running a 5K later in the spring. That should make up for these two weeks!

    Is there anything we're supposed to be posting daily or is it just a once a week posting? I've been doing great on food and exercise so far so I'm hopeful for weight loss. I have to say I broke down and had one mini tootsie roll today so that's a tiny chocolate slip.
