    stay on each week as long as you need to feel comfortable. i stayed on week one for 4 weeks and week four for 4 weeks and week six for 2 weeks. :) for me, the nine week program turned into sixteen. lol. but before my surgery, i was up to running nine miles and loving it. take it slow.

    Hi, My name is Barb and I am getting in late on this but definitely need the challenge. I work long hours so I don't get a lot of fun time. But I'm loving gardening right now and I like to Bike. I do try to get to the gym 5 days a week. Anyway I would like to lose 15 lbs. People will see my weight and say " she must be anorexic" No...I'm just really short!! and overweight.

    I already donate monthly to a charity that implements programs in developing countries, focusing on childhood development (education, health, safety, etc.) with an emphasis on community engagement and ownership. :smile:

    I am really nervous about my weigh in tomorrow. I can see a gain coming, even though I have been working hard, my diet has been iffy. I haven't totally blown the calories, but what I have been eating is affecting me. I guess I will take the ups with the downs, but I am worried.

    I did make a donation (in food, not cash) to my local food bank this week. I live in a rural area and it is one of the few charitable organizations with an office in the area. It is always in need of donations and it feels good knowing I am helping. Thanks for the challenge!

    Last weekend I participated in a 5K for the fight against Women Cancer and yesterday I donated to the American Heart Association.
