    I'm scared of my next weigh in... I've been binging bad! I've had 4 potatoes today with ranch & butter.. I had 4 shredded chicken sandwiches.. I had an avocado and tomato salad.. There's still dinner...

    It can be difficult. We can't change the past but we can change the choices we make in the next moment! Stay strong, you got this!

    Just finished an intense workout on the treadmill. Did some intervals of running, side stepping and backwards walking all at an incline! After I worked up a sweat of doing 30 minutes on the treadmill I jumped in the my 70 degree pool and did some exercises in there! First time being in the pool this summer and it felt great! I do not plan to take advantage of my pool this summer and am going to make it a big part of my workout routine!!

    Hope everyone has a great Sunday!!

    Stay strong this week team!!

    The weekend is always extremely hard for everyone! I think we overeat on the weekends b/c we are so disciplined during the week! One cheat day per week is allowed...just try to enjoy your cheat day in moderation! You should still be using portion control on this day as well! A cheat day doesn't mean that you OVEREAT, it simply means that you may enjoy the food that you desire on this day, but in amounts that will not cause you to get off track!

    It is hard to be disciplined w/o a break...this is what causes so many ppl to fail! Enjoy your favorite food, just do so ONCE A WEEK, & in MODERATION!!!!! :)
    ...then on MONDAY...get focused, and get back to healthy eating, workouts and drinking your water! Set small goals, and reach them!!!!
    Good Luck everyone!!!

    ***ATTENTION TEAMMATES***
    I need EVERYONE to get serious about weighing in ON TIME! We have already lost 1 team member, and have come really close to losing others!
    Plz DO NOT wait until 11:59 pm to weigh in! Your team is really counting on you this week to help take this WIN!
    EVERY POUND COUNTS...including YOURS! If you fail to weigh in on time you will be ELIMINATED...this challenge will be fair to ALL TEAMS involved!
    Once you know your weight, weigh in ASAP, so that your pounds will be counted! We are depending on you to be accountable this week!!!!! Plz DO NOT let your team down!!!

    Hi Everyone,

    I was called into work earlier today and had to return home due to not feeling well. I just got home and I'm going to go have a sleep in hopes it does me well.

    In the event I don't get the weekly stats posted later this evening I will do it tomorrow morning. In the meantime, if you go into the spreadsheet you will at least see the winning teams.

    Sorry :neutral:

    I hope you feel better

    I hear ya @303lissy I am too, I don't get it I've worked out twice since Friday :/ I did have two cheat meals over the weekend though so I guess that could have done it :(

    Drinking tons of water today and being very strict with my food!

    I'm pretty nervous for our final weigh in, I was really hoping to get to 215 this week, and I don't think that's going to be possible.

    I have done 2 weigh ins through the week already just so I can see where I stand. Sunday, I was down two pounds and thought to myself, "Wow! I am way ahead of the game!"...

    This part may be a little bit of TMI... but my TOM arrived on Monday.. and I think it is making me retain some water because when I did another weigh in this morning, I gained 3 pounds back. I knew everything has been pretty much on point this week with my exercise and eating. I've even tried drinking a lot more water because I knew water retention was possible.

    All I can do is let a big =sigh= out and move on. Being a woman, I knew this thing was going to happen! I am just hoping I have a little bit of a loss for our team!

    Stay strong you guys just a couple more days left.

    And yes, thank you @wahagent05 for that pick me up. I'm down quite a bit from when I started and that's important. Gonna keep pushing and hope the scale is still in my favor on Friday!

    A very depressing week for me. I feel I am failing at everything I am trying to do.
    I wish I had some energy. Every inch of my body feels inflamed. I wish I could just go off to sleep for 2 full days without worrying about anything and then a tonne of stuff has to happen right now ... Just perfect.

    I feel like dipping into a pool of pain relieving spray liquid. :s
