    FANTASTIC HEALTHY & WELCOME TO A RALLY GREAT GROUP OF SUPPORTERS!! :flowerforyou:

    We are finding that taking it one week at a time is working better for us. We can keep the same goals, up them or change them alltogether!! But we can look at a smaller picture for a smaller us!!

    Good Luck!!

    I missed last weeks challenge and i can tell I was missing this group all week long. this week... which is another crazy week for me.... I want to exercise 6/7 days a week for a total of at least 240 mins.

    For a NS goal I want to get my "tupperware" cabinet straightened out. Have been letting my family put away dishes and it is a riggin mess!!!

    I'm in for another week. I think this is week 8 for me... I wish I'd kept track of my goals as well as you have been Miss Dee :smile: But I know I did really well last week.

    This week's goal I'm hoping for a good lose this week, my plan track everything (hopefully this will help keep my snacking under control). Anything I eat goes in the diary. I'm hoping to keep under my calorie intake at my given level.

    Good luck all. Together we CAN do this!

    You know of course I'm in this week too :)
    I promise myself to take one day off from exercise because I can feel that my body needs a break after somewhere around 2+ weeks of exercising every day.
    I think I have myself conditioned to have at least 9 glasses of H2O a day so I'll keep up with that.
    Lose at least 1lb and stationary bike at least 100 miles.
    Good Luck everyone!

    I am in for this week. My week is Saturday through Friday. I weigh on Saturday mornings and weekends seem to be the time to get focused. My exercise goal is 100 mins and logging in everyday.
    It really helps to know that this group is out there. Miss Dee I love your motivation and support. Knowing you are out there makes me accountable to getting back online and logging in. The weekly goal is a great managable time frame. Here is to a good week!!!:drinker:

    I fell a bit short of my exercise goal last week I completed about 90/120 minutes. My goal this week is to not let last weeks setback derail me. This week is going to be incredibly tough for me at school and so, my other goal is to honestly log in EVERYTHING I eat and stay aware of what I am putting in my body because when I get stressed out I rifle through my kitchen cabinets and I really don't want to sabotage myself like I have in the past. Good luck with your goals everyone, and please know how much you all inspire me.

    I'm brand new here and just joined yesterday. I have a 14-pound weight loss goal and would like to achieve that in a few months, or at least as much of it as possible. I'm in with the one week challenges - looking forward to motivation from all of you!!:happy:

    WELCOME ALANA :flowerforyou:

    So happy to have you here and glad to hear you say that you will take months to make that loss. I just read a great post today on wanting to lose too quickly when you have suck a small amount to lose. (or any amount for that matter).

    Developing the healthy eating and exercise routine takes time to do it right. Then you HAVE to live like this. I am soooo mad at myself for allowing such a huge gain over the years. I pray that all this healthy info stays in my brain & in my heart. I wanna live to see my grandchildren succeed.

    The support from this group is awesome!! Hope you will FRIEND some of us. :-)

    Good Luck to you!!

    MissDee my buddy. I am floundering lately so I am in. This is truly what I know I need to do to be successful since I never struggle in the day time.

    1. 6 - 8 glasses of water a day.

    2. journal every bite that goes in my mouth after 5:00 pm (this is the struggle time)

    My lovely Dee, where would I be without your friendship over the past few months? Thanks for bringing me onto this website.

    Welcome to the new faces and welcome back to the "regulars"!!!

    I've been ill all night so I am working on a major lack of sleep and my tummy is really hurting. I finally caught the bug my daughter, mother, and sister had this week.

    Goals:
    Exercise 175 minutes
    Lose 2 pounds

    I'd like to clarify - I gained 3 pounds of water weight over the past 48 hours so I want to lose those 3 water weight pounds to get back to my 28 lb loss (which should happen quickly) and THEN 2 regular pounds on top of that to get me to 30 lbs lost by next Saturday!

    So far ok today for my goal. I didn't get lunch so we ate dinner early, and I feel like I way over ate (and ate way to fast). Now I feel BLAH, I really do know better.

    It's been a crazy day, up early and started working on the bathroom renovation. Went to Home Depot at least 3 times. Went for a walk with my mom, brother, and the 3 dogs, ran to the grocery store, made dinner.

    Happy to say so far I've logged everything (even the chocolate chips I snacked on earlier). I'm ok with calories, over with everything else, but I'm feeling bad probably because I inhaled my dinner.

    Well back to work on the mon-fri routine tomorrow.
