    @ Chancie - good luck with your procedure. I am sending vibes for a speedy recovery! :flowerforyou:

    @ Mollie - I like your idea of a calorie bonus for the weekends. When I did WW in 2006, I always allowed myself a "free meal" on weigh-in days, whether I lost or not. Knowing that I had that meal as a treat made sticking to my plan really easy. When I would have a craving for say a burger or a blizzard, I will just tell myself that I could have it on Wednesday. It kept the cravings under control. Your idea of knowing that you can eat something extra and/or less than healthy on weekends should do the same for you. I might give that idea a try myself. So far, I have done well on weekends as long as I have things to do. If it is one of those veg in front of the TV weekends, I am quite likely to raid the fridge. LOL. :glasses:

    Anyway, here is more info for the challenge:

    Originally my goal was to be 172 by my birthday which is March 15th but at this point I really don't think I can hit that. One thing I've really wanted is to be smaller than my bf who weighs 175 so if I can make it down to a pound less than him I'll be really happy. Great to have some extra support this month! Can't wait to get to know you ladies better.

    I'll see if I can do this. I only want to lose 5-7 pounds TOTAL, but it seems that when you're getting close to goal weight, those last few pounds are so hard to lose!

    Thank you for the good wishes! I'm glad your surgery went well for you. That actually is a small relief for me to because all I keep hearing are horror stories about how much worse I will be. It's nice to hear from someone who found some relief from the surgery!!

    CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: 30 MINS EXTRA CARDIO EVERYDAY. Check in and let everyone know how you are getting on.

    Tuesday: 85 minutes of walking/rowing

    Since I usually don't make it to the gym at all, it's going to be a struggle to get 30 minutes in everyday but I'm up for the challenge. Hope everyone else does well!
