    WHOOP WHOOP!!! 5 o'clock whistle is blowing here in Jersey!!! IT'S THE WEEKEND!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    It's also time for our first weekend of the challenge! This is what I consider my Temptation Time. :huh: I'm tempted to eat junk, I'm tempted to chill in the AC instead of sweat in the heat, I'm tempted to have more than just a few tasty beverages :drinker:

    But NOT THIS WEEKEND!!! Thanks to the support of a few close friends (about 140 of them :wink: ) I have completely BOOKED my weekend. Although tonight is a planned trip to the movies (Friends With Benefits, :heart: Mmmmmm Justin, lol). First thing tomorrow is a 17 mile kayak followed by a trip to the hot air balloon festival (ridiculous amount of walking). Sunday was going to be a lazy beach day but I decided to make a second trip to the balloon festival but this time with my 3 year old. Now THAT should be a good workout! Factor in the 90+ degree weather we're supposed to have :glasses: and I plan to melt away the last couple day's night binges.

    Weigh-Ins are starting to come in and I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing these losses!!! (No measurement check-ins needed yet. We'll do that on 8/25.) For those that recorded a gain, don't worry... With the amount of water you're now consuming and the exercise challenge I have planned for next week, those lbs will start dripping off :happy:

    You guys are ROCKIN' this challenge!!!

    Wooohoo! I love this CCC sticker! Struggled today with the challenge but I think I will be able to finish it by the end of the day if I snack on some fruit tonight! Almost binged at McDonalds earlier because I hadn't eaten all day but I managed to restrain myself and ate pretty good! Nervous about the weekend because that's when I usually fall off the wagon but I'm determined to stay on track! Will officially weight in first thing on Sunday morning! Looking forward to seeing if the scale has changed at all this first week!

    Congrats to losing ladies, and for anyone who didn't - don't worry about this week, just stay focused and we'll get there! x

    My weigh in:
    SW: 188
    CW: 184

    4 pounds down, I'm a happy lady but went a bit mad with food today. Still managed to complete the challenge today and just need to keep myself in check tomorrow and Sunday. I'm excited for next week too although Jenn you have slightly scared me with the mention of burpees!! But, if that's what it is, then bring it!! I'm ready, haha!

    I'm going back to Ireland for two weeks before school starts in Sept. and looking forward to seeing everyone. Just know that it will involve meeting lots of people for lunches, coffees, drinks and the like but I am determined to continue with my exercise. I like taking long walks at home in the beautiful countryside and hopefully will get some nice weather too.

    I won't have regular access to mfp for the next two weeks but will pop in to find out about the challenges! I'm thinking of logging my food in a non-virtual diary and while I won't be able to count the calories I'll hopefully be able to keep myself in check by writing everything down.

    Anyway, Happy weekend everyone!

    Yesterday was my nephew's 12th birthday and I really went crazy on the calories. I ate 1007 cals OVER my daily goal. Ughhh!!!! It's my TOM this week, so maybe that played a part, but I'm nervous to weigh in on Saturday! I went for a walk after work today and burned 488 cals (according to my heart rate monitor), and I'll go for a hike tomorrow morning, but still! I'm disappointed in myself for being so careless last night.

    Oh well, I'm not going to let one bad night undo almost 7 months of healthy habits!

    Another crazy day today!!! Working on my fiance's business. Just got home maybe an hour ago and it's 11:15 now. I also realized, that when I'm busy I have some bad eating habits... it's so much easier to eat out than to plan ahead and bring a lunch and supper. What a day. I did drink lots of water, since we were outside all day, I was very thirsty... got a bit burnt. As for fruits and vegetables... i had some before I left, but after... not so good. I thought this challenge was going to be easy for me, but surprise, surprise!!! I'll keep on doing my best and taking it one day at a time.

    I will try to weigh-in tomorrow or Sunday and I will also try to get a minute to ready everyone's update... still haven't had a chance to do so, but I want to make sure to check in on a daily basis!

    Good Morning Everyone! I have spent way too much time on this message board already this morning. I did great yesterday and will weigh in tomorrow morning. I do great all day and normally eat too much late at night. I am trying to not eat after 7:30PM. I feel so much better in the morning when I don't eat late at night. Everyone have a great day!:smile:
