Can you believe that this is the 18th round of the Postcard Challenge? How fun is this?!

Ok, here we go! Post your weight as of today (March 13) and I will make a note of it. In 2 weeks (March 27), post your finishing weight and if you lost the most weight, I will send you a postcard from Dayton, Ohio (it's an hour North of Cincinnati). The winner will also get to host the next round!

In round 17, Shannon asked for everyone to make some pledges for the next two weeks. I thought that was a great idea, so I'll do the same.

Mine:
20 minutes of exercise minimum daily
Drink 64oz of water minimum daily
More fruits and veggies

Feel free to add me because I'll post a reminder in my status of when to have your final weigh-in.

WE CAN DO THIS! WOOWHOO! :bigsmile:

    Oh I'm in! 162 today, and I would love to be able to say I was under 160 in two weeks time! My goals:

    1. A minimum of 45mins of exercise daily
    2. Eat less carbs
    3. Try to snack less, I find that all of my snacks keep on adding up every day!
    4. Not miss a day of tracking my food and exercise.

    I'll start tomorrow!

    Good luck everyone.

    I'm in... gonna use my last weigh-in's weight of 214. I'm up a little right now from high sodium and a not-so-great weekend but I'm sure it will come back off pretty quick.

    Anywho, here are my goals for the next 2 weeks:

    ~ No soda (I gave it up for lent)
    ~ Exercise more
    ~ Up my water intake to 9-10 glasses a day instead of the 6-7 I've been getting
    ~ Get out of the 210's... I want to be into ONEderland by the time school lets out in May.

    Weight 254. Really really want to be 249. Then that will be a total of 90 lbs lost! and closer to 200 than 300 :) I have been the same same weight or there abouts since 1/22. It's gonna be a huge challenge because my birthday is this friday. And I have off the majority of the week. So hoping I don't go nuts.

    How is everyone doing? I am a wee bit sore this morning but starting to feel stronger and I hope the same (strong nt the sore part) is true for all of you as well.
    Have a fabulous St. Patrick's Day and be sure to balance the alcohol with some water too!

    Exhausted. I don't know why. Most tired I've been since before I started CPAP therapy, too.

    Started C25K on Monday but didn't wear (dummy) my prescription orthotics and my feet are STILL killing me. Of course, 230 is a lot of stress on them. Tonight, I'm going to try Day 2 of the program. While i have kept my calories in the black, I have not been getting my 20 minutes of walking in due to the foot pain.

    I did pretty good... got some great exercise in and was under my calorie goals most days. But TOM decided to pay a visit so I have to wait to see it all translate to the scale. Right now I'm a +3.5 =(

    Survived a trade show and more receptions and schmoozing than I can count. Will post weight in the morning. Spent a LOT of time walking the show floor and hydrating. Finally beat the headaches. And no alcohol, even when offered for free. :-)
