    Speaking from my own perspective, I just want to say I hope everyone continues to weigh-in no matter what. Of course we're all trying to lose weight, but if you maintain or gain, weigh-in anyway! It would be fantastic to see every member of our group stay in this challenge until the end, no matter what place/rank our team finishes. So, a virtual cheer to all members of Team Gutbusters and some friendly encouragement to weigh-in no matter which direction the scale went. We can do this!

    Congrats on your runs, Shalynlink. I am super impressed! I've been trying the C25K app on my phone to help train me to start jogging/running, but I am super lazy and unmotivated. Hopefully the weather will start cooperating in New England and we'll get a few months of Spring before the weather turns brutal. Perfect running weather.

    Its hard to start - I always tell people to just go super slow. Just run from one hydro pole to the next and then walk and then try again. Our weather is pretty good except we have torrential rain but I like to run in the rain..its pretty peaceful. You should sign up for a 5 km race and then you will find that motivation!!

    If you didn't lose as much as you wanted this week, don't fret. Just remember, this process is SLOOOOOW and Slow progress IS progress. Take it one day at a time.

    I always look at it like a mountain. If you stare at the top of the mountain you start thinking "Woah, that's high! I can't make that!"

    Instead, look at the green grass on the bottom and think to yourself "I can get to there." Once you get there, look at the rocks leading up and get to those next. Slowly climb it a little bit at a time and focus on what you are doing.

    One day, you'll reach the top and that's when you can look down and go "Woah! I'm at the top. I made it!"

    Hi Team Gutbusters!

    All weights have been entered for your team. Unfortunately there has been one person eliminated from the team this week, htebaram due to not submitting.

    On a positive note, the team collectively has lost a total of 36.9 lbs! Well Done!!

    We have a person travelling and unable to gain access to a scale. She has reported in that she will have a number for us as soon as she is home tomorrow. Once that is received winners will be announced.

    Definitely rocking! Fantaubulous job everyone!!

    I'm pooped today. Between baseball games, work and sleepovers, I'm ready to turn in the towel. Phew! I'm hoping all this running around counts for a few extra burned calories ;)

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

    My week 2 weigh in is tomorrow and I'm anxious...I'm hoping I won't be retaining water but as I'm one big ache from butt to ankle I'm not holding out much hope. :/

    I'm a little anxious about my weigh-in, too. Just remember the bigger picture, if tomorrow doesn't work out to your expectations, you can look forward to week 3 to improve. Best wishes!

    Don't be anxious ladies. We all have up days and down days. The important thing is to keep pushing forward, even if you had a bad day. Put the stresses down and move forward. ;)
