    Alright! My goal for today is to do at least 20 minutes on my elliptical. Then done squats, planks and pushups. Trying to work on that perfect form for squats.

    Good morning everyone!!! Wow what a beautiful day and it is getting warmer.
    Welcome to our new people.
    Congrats to you who had a loss this week and to the ones who didn't, it's a new week for you.
    So glad I am a part of this group. I have learned so many new things that are helping me on my
    new way of eating and enjoying food and exercise.
    Have a great Friday!!!

    Good Morning everyone, we have sun for now clouds will be starting to roll in and the snow will start flying again tomorrow or Sunday, I am ignoring the weather people.

    Today is weigh in day for me I have been on this challenge 1 week. Here are my stats: I adjusted my goal for the challenge as I hadn't realized the timing to Easter last week, wow.

    SW 174.3
    CW 172.3
    Weeks Completed 1
    GW for the challenge 162
    This weeks loss 2lbs
    Total Loss for challenge: 2lbs

    I'm happy with the loss. I really wasn't sure how things would go as I certainly wasn't eating enough or properly this week, pretty much the Brat diet for me due to being ill. Things are coming around so next week should be better on that front. My goal is to add exercise I have been a slacker on that for far too long. I read a post from a friend on Facebook:

    "It's just so funny how I thought a good mom puts herself last. Now I'm a much better mom when I take care of myself."

    This has really resonated with me because as a FT working, business owner, single mom of 3 kids under 10 I am constantly running from one place to the other constantly putting everyone's needs above my own. I get home and by the time I get everyone to bed and check my work email one last time I crash. I am not a morning person I can't get up earlier than the 6. I need to figure out a plan! Sorry for the rant~

    Enjoy your weekend everyone! Here's to many wins this coming week!!

    H, I have been absent because I lost this thread :( Good news I am on track to meet the 20 lb loss by Easter goal with just under 8 lb. loss in a month. That is the most I have ever lost in a month on any program so I am cautiously optimistic. Well, I'll go back and read some of the thread to catch up. Hope you "see less of me" next time I check in.

    Kenea, great goal sounds like an all around good work out. Thanks for reminding me about planks and push-ups. Since I changed trainers he's had me doing other stuff... I'm gonna reintroduce them into my routine. As I remember it was SO challenging increasing my seconds holding plank and increased reps for push-ups but great core and upper body workout. Thanks for the inspiration :) Cat

    Its time to start thinking of the name of the new challenge cause I'm gonna need it and a few more after that. Doing it is 20 pound increments makes it much more doable!
