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).

    Can I jump on the bandwagon with you all?
    I have a wedding in 9 weeks and want to lose 20lbs. I need encouragement and help staying on track.

    CW: 163
    Sat Goal: 161.8
    7 week goal: 156 (afraid to put down 149)

    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.

    The chocolate thing is super hard for me. I normally eat some amount of chocolate every day!! So far this week I have only caved once. Last night I had a 60 calorie vanilla/chocolate swirl pudding cup. I was having a hard time eating all of my calories and I just caved because it was beckoning me from the fridge! I felt bad that I caved afterward.

    You guys are all doing great by the way, good job!

    Shannonwilson86, you deserve to enjoy yourelf these next couple of weeks. I am sure that the concious will play a little with you, lol. Sounds like you have the determination to really kick it when you get back. With that kind of determination you will succeed. Good luck this weekend and congratulations.:smile:

    mamawildbear, the only thing required is to post your weight on Saturday. Then post your weight goal for the following Saturday. Good luck.

    OMG!!!!!! In the teachers lounge are all kinds of pastries. Not sure why our prinicipal did that, but I have got to seriously stay out of there. Chocolate, glazed, lemon sticks & creme sticks.........I have done better this last half of the week. If I don't go in there, I know I will probably be down for weigh-in. May have to have help from Bontril today.

    Hi everyone,

    Do we weigh in here today? I lost a lb, which was my goal. I thought I would have lost more because I have exercised a lot and stayed under my calories, but not too far under.

    Great job, Hilarie. I did not make my goal, but, I didn't gain either. I hope next week to meet or exceed my goal.

    Hi Everyone,
    I didn't get a chance to post over the weekend. But I'm excited to say that I weighed in today at 161.6.
    I lost a litle over a pound. I totally bummed on the excercising over the weekend. So I maybe could have lost a bit more.
    I'll have to keep that in mind for next weekend.
    Anyway, my goal for next weigh in is to lose 1.5 lbs (hopefully 2)

    SW: 163
    3/7: 161.6
    3/12: 160

    Have a great week and be careful tomorrow - FAT TUESDAY!

    SW:264
    3/5: 261.1 (goal was 262)
    New goal for saturday: 257

    Have a great rest of the week :)
