    I'll be cheering y'all on towards your goal!! 2.08 pounds a week is going to take a really positive attitude, a lot of food planning, a very generous sprinkling of exercise and a well-hydrated body. It might be more than I can do right now, but I will be your cheerleader!!

    Saturdays are my usual weigh in day and because the challege ends on a saturday it works out pretty well. I weighed myself in this morning and lost 3.4 pounds this week! That is my biggest drop since i started MFP June, 13th. It felt great to see that number this morning. I want to contribute it to eating pretty balanced this last week. :)

    is that how challenge updates are supposed to go?...

    Ok ladies. What have u planned to take this weight off? What have u given up? What have u swapped for something more healthy? What are your daily or weekly goals? Exercise or food goals?

    I have decided to start walking at work during my 30 minute break. I work 3 12 hour night shifts per week, so that will add 90 minutes onto my weekly exercise. Also, I am dedicated to intervals on my treadmill 2-4 times per week. AND I am planning on starting up Jillian's 30 day shred next week. I need to figure out where the DVD went. Lol. Anyway, one step at a time. I started running again 3 weeks ago, started walking at work last week, started cutting my carbs yesterday (aiming for around 100 per day). I'm all fired up!!!! Who is with me?????

    Had a great week last week but the weekend was a bust (niece's wedding)! Now the goal is to get back on track! Water, working out, and under calories seems to be the trick for me to get it all to click. Thanks JosieMomGramm for starting this group. I wish you all luck!

    jluter – Welcome! You are exactly right…We can do this together :)

    happymom - I am currently on Level 2, Day 6 of the 30DS…and I plan on completing all of the 30 days. When it's done i want to either do her Ripped in 30 or her plan I heard about yesterday, 30 Day Slimdown (combines 30DS, No More Trouble Zones & Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism). I am also on Week 4 of C25K…and I’m so proud that I’ve made it this far and can’t wait to see it thru! i also have some mini-goals that I set up before this challenge to help keep me motivated :) Great job on getting those walks in! Every bit helps!

    Jillica – Weekends always get me too! Great attitude to get back on track :)

    Keep up the great work everyone!

    My weigh in day is Friday and I was up 1 lb. :( Weekends are tough for me and after a 1lb gain even tougher but I did ok and even though my eating wasn't perfect I got my exercise both days. Hoping for a good weigh in this Friday...already down the 1lb I gained plus 1 more...but it could fluctuate back up. My eating is going to 100% good this week and I'm running everyday! I did 5km yesterday pushing a stroller and as much as I hated every minute of it I felt fantastic after!!

    Good luck everyone and keep up the good work!

    After already signing up for this challenge, just started planning a trip to LA and Vegas that turns out to be October 1st! Perfect! I haven't felt good about my body the last few times I was in Vegas, I think it would be great to be there and feel great. I'm excited!

    Can I still join? I just came back from vacation and need some motivation. It has taken me a couple of weeks to stop craving carbs so I will like to join a challenge.

    To those who have just signed onto this challenge late, no problem if you want to join us! I just won't be adding everyone to MFP list. I just find it hard to go through everyones posts everyday. But I think it is wonderful that soooo many like the challenge I put out to lose 25lbs or ?? by Oct. 1st. I had lost 3lbs just days before I started this challenge so I have only lost 2lbs. from the start of this challenge so far. Hope to lose 5lbs. by the end of this month. Then 10lbs. for Aug. & Sept. I have added more exercise & am trying harder to be under my calorie goal everyday! Great to hear from some of you, as too how you are trying to meet this challenge! Wishing everyone a great success story. Keep in mind to eat healthfully. I will be posting my losses at the end of each month, So hope you will also.
