    So my weigh in was a little disappointing. I really thought I'd had a good week. But here is to having a new week to work through with a better loss! As for dancing... Hmmm. I a not much into the popular rock artists! Metal head here.., not sure how to dance to many Five Finger Death Punch songs, but maybe I'll have my 9 year old help me out with some popular songs and dances!

    @capturethememories I wasn't the best last week, but this week is a new one so a new start for both of us! I danced around to anything I could hear.... did most of that at my friends hen do on Sat/Sun!

    Have a great day!!!!

    Hey >:) Team: So excited to report that I lost 1.4 this week! It's the first sign of real loss I've had in years. Yay!

    * * * PLAN FOR THE WEEK * * *
    Okay, here's the plan for the week. This week is a travel week for me (family trip to Oregon), so it's really important that I figure this out now. I want to focus on three clean meals a day and using fruit in between meals to manage appetite. Challenges include: no eating any airport sold or airplane distributed snacks; board plane (both directions) prepared with fruit snack; travel with my favorite teas; keep up my water intake each day; stay on my running program.

    @13suzie wow I only just saw this!!!! Well done you on a superb weight loss xx

    My plan for the week is to get 10000 steps Monday-Friday and either go to the gym or do an exercise video today and tomorrow. Goal for the week is 2lbs.

    @treebek you have motivated me to do my Kettlebell video tonight!! Good luck with the steps, maybe post how many you've done per day and ill see if I match them! Kind of side team/side challenge ☺

    Just did my weigh in for this week. I'm only 2.4 pounds from hitting my 30 lb milestone. Hope to hit that next week!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend. We are supposed to be getting a big snowstorm tomorrow. Gonna get all
    My shopping and errands done today so I can hibernate tomorrow :)

    @treebek that's awesome! Hope the snow stayed at bay! We had a little in the UK but it only lasted a day ☺

    Hey everyone, hope you all are having an awesome week 2. I'm bummed that I did not get my 10k steps in yesterday at work. Weather here is awful day it took me about 1 1/4 hours to get to work yesterday so I ended up working until 7:00 pm. Plus I'm training someone so I was sitting most of the day. I stayed in my calorie goal though.

    Well we came in 4th place last week, but the good thing about being at the bottom is there's only one way to go, right :smile: Hope you all have an awesome week. #gopurple #wecandothis

    Didn't have access to a computer this weekend so I'm making up for the days I missed -

    Saturday I did plan my next week - this week I have a new workout schedule along with I meal prepped last night and have the next 3 nights of dinners/lunches already made :)

    Sunday I danced to a bunch of my favorite songs in the kitchen while I cleaned

    Monday I had strawberry oatmeal for breakfast. I went and bought a new coffee pot this weekend that also has a hot water dispenser attached to it so I'm pretty excited to make my morning routine easier :)

    Hi people :D
    I'm drinking 8 x8oz of water mainly due to my throat feeling dry all the time ... lol
    I'm doing T25 from beachbody so I'm doing between 60 minutes of exercise on a good day and 35 on a bad day
    I'm getting 10000 steps a day.
    I'm also doing another challenge which requires 100 minutes of cardio 72 of strength and 60 of stretching so I'm definitely getting enough exercise :D

    Just need to work on eating more ( teaching, so either skip or part eat my food) and sleeping more ( averaging 4/5 hours a night :( ).
    You're all doing fantastic and I'm glad to be part of this team <3

    I added my weight for this week, but I have to say I would not encourage anyone to follow my diet. I found out my husband was making some vet bad choices, so the divorce diet will be what I will be experiencing. With a horrible soon to be ex husband experience.

    That doesn't sound good at all. I'm sorry you are going through this. Remember to stay healthy and try to keep yourself a priority.

    Heyo, purple people! I just submitted my weight. Down from last week (I think?) but still up from the initial weigh in. As long as I keep batch cooking, I should be ok. Hopefully I will have time on Saturday to do that. Just need to pick my meals and buy the groceries I suppose. Work is still crazy, hence why I haven't been the best teammate.. unfortunately I do expect it to be crazy until at least February. Gyuuh I'm so tired...

    @mellymint80 I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage :( Make sure to take care of yourself and lean on friends and family for support!
