    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.

    I've missed you Ang!

    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.

    ok Its Monday!!! Have already put in 48 mins of exercise.... still have to work for a few hours then its house cleaning and hopefully some more ME time with the DVDs...I don't like counting cleaning as exercise cals however with todays load I am gonna count them just so I can have the extra cals for the week.... The house hasn't had a good scrubbing in about 2 weeks and I forsee a mop and pail in my hands by this afternoon. Hope everyone has a good start of the week!!!

    Awesome way to start off a Monday - great job!
    I only count cleaning when I do the heavy-duty spring cleaning =/ so thats only like once a month or so.

    I did my 30DS! I will be @ level2 this week! =)

    My goal this week, I want to lose another pound, and add strength training to my exercise. not just what I do in JM 30DS circuit training. I want to lift heavier and lift til failure. I want to do this 3 times a week.
    I can't believe I lost a pound while I was on vacation. I believe I was over my calorie goal everyday. But I did make it a point to exercise every day.
    Have a great day everyone. Good luck on your challenges. We can do it!

    I got in 2 miles over lunch for 37 mins worked.
    I was really hoping that overnight I would be so restless from eating so much yesterday that I would burn those extra calories. But I was still over 148 calories for the day. :sad:

    My Monday didn't do too well with the water however I did wonderful with the exercise. Got in a total of 96 mins with the PowerWalk DVD. Total of 6 miles throughout the day. Did 2 hours worth of cleaning however I am not going to count that as part of my exercise goal minutes. Need to find something other than the Powerwalk to do for exercise. Just have to get motivated to start in on a new DVD. Have a good night all.

    Hello all!

    Hope everyone is doing well. I went over calories today (by 219). I ate way too much for dinner and I'm so full and I feel so stuffed. I was hungry all day, and just way over did dinner.
    Tomorrow is a new day another chance.
