    I wanted to reach my goal weight ( am half a pound away right now) and go to bed earlier... Still working on that one! More sleep is a main priority of mine going forward. I am so proud of the increased amount of exercise which this challenge brought to me! Team 6 helped the sometimes impossible become a reality. Thanks for an Amazing challenge :)

    I've enjoyed this challenge and being part of such an awesome team! But I haven't met any of my goals. I'm essentially the same weight as when we started. I've still got 5lbs (at least for now) to go. I know what I need to do, but can't figure out why I seem to be lacking the motivation to do it.
    I'm getting going with tri training. I enjoy the running and swimming, but not so much the biking. I've got to get that going again.

    I've partially achieved some of my goals, which were drinking enough water, planning ahead with meals, and adding variety to my workouts. I haven't been too successful with my logging goal. Logging is the first thing that goes when I get crazy busy.
    This challenge has helped me nutritionally by adding variety to my meal choices and planning for leftovers to put in the freezer for busy days. I plan on continuing to try new foods and make extra. Who knew I liked fava bean hummus, (from Egyptian week) or stuffed cabbage leaves? I've lost 5 pounds since starting and am very happy with that, as I've only got 5 more to final goal. These last 10 pounds have been yo-yoing back and forth, so I'm getting there!

    This challenge has helped to me to exercise more, even when I don't have time, I try to find ways to move. This will make it difficult to come up with excuses for not exercising in the future! I'm definitely drinking more water, which is an achievement. But i haven't lost much weight, part is due to the food choices I've been making lately, I will need to work more on that. Logging is something I still need to stick to. I frequently log the first 2 meals of the day but not continue. Intensity of exercises is also a goal I want to achieve in the near future.

    This challenge has furthered my weight loss closer to my goal weight. I lost more than I set my goal at and I'm very proud of that. This was the first time I had a team to be responsible for and I loved it. It made me push myself to be a better role model. To help others stay positive and encouraged. I think I have also tuned up my diet a lot and figured out even more foods my body doesn't like. I have tried new exercises and enjoyed them so much I will add them I when I can. I have been way more conscious of the need for my water intake to replace what I've lost. I'm over all so much stronger than I was in the last challenge. I do know that I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am if I hadn't found @Melodieccurn. Your challenges have truly changed my life and health girl! Thank you just isn't enough! Your and angel!!!!

    This week was a huge week for me. I have learned during this challenge that I can get back on track. I've learned that exercise is the key along with tracking diligently on my fitness pal. You all have been such a huge support for me and you probably don't even know it. This week I hit my May 10 goal and I am so excited. I feel so good and I look forward to doing just a little bit of exercise that I am doing every day. I haven't committed to much but I have committed.

    This challenge has been great for me. I've been drinking more water and exercising every single day. Which, early on in the year was a big challenge for me. I have also recently given up dairy by the suggestion of others so I'm excited to see where that can take me with my weight loss. I seem to be at a stand still. I have also recently given up alcohol and that has put me a little behind as I attend some classes. I have slowly started sleeping better so I will continue on with that. Thanks for making me stay committed.

    Logging food
    Increase water
    Taking the stairs at work
    Eat more veggies

    To change

    Cut sugar
    Increase exercise minutes
    I did accomplish most of the above until I broke my foot. I feel I stalled in the process. I am struggling a lot right now with hunger and stomach pain.
