    All goals met:
    water: 90 oz
    challenge
    work out
    log
    under calories

    p.s. Today was tough for me...depressed and unmotivated. I don't get it. AT LEAST I met minimum goals instead of couching it. :-)

    Thurs 8/4

    Daily Challenge - done (40 Up/Downs)
    Completed Food Diary - done
    Under Calories - done
    64 ounces of water - done

    MoonChild, in the same boat as you. Got really depressed at work, went home with no motivation. Couldn't let you guys down though, so I stuck it out. However, I cheated and looked at scale this morning and it is EXACTLY the same weight as it was on Monday!! This sucks!

    Just checking on our team. Has anyone seen Kristy0123?

    Kristy, I apologize if you are out there, and I just haven't seen you. Just checking on you! Hope you are kicking the crap out of August!

    Kap, don't be nervous. Just remember what Aunt Flo puts on will come off. So even if your weight loss is not mega this week, it will be by next week! So, we have time...just keep rocking it out hon!
    By the way, I am a little nervous about weigh in Saturday ---- Aunt Freaking Flo is in town and I hope she doesn't cause too much damage to the scale! We shall see! ((( crossing my fingers I am not retaining too much water))

    I love the profile picture dahling! Weights are due from you by Sunday morning. My suggestion is to maximize on the time. Weigh in on Sunday morning and send me the email then and I will forward to Gary. If you cannot do Sunday, then Saturday night is just as good.
    Do we weigh in every saturday and report it???

    No worries Maddox...when the scale starts moving, it will MOOOOOVVVEEEEEE! Remember, this is a four week challenge. Let's pace ourselves. I would rather have endurance than a bunch of high weigh ins for week one and people quitting on me by Week 3! No disappointments here...you ladies are a GREAT GROUP of ladies who are already motivated to do what is necessary and I appreciate that. Continue to work and success will happen! Thanks for rocking it out on Thirsty Thursday! Now what's going on for Frisky Friday??? LOLOL

    Don't worry Ivy...you are rocking it and it will happen. Your body might be in shock right now! LOLOL We will not be moved by the scale, either way. If you have a good weigh in...okay cool. If not, okay cool because this is a FOUR WEEK CHALLENGE and we will eventually get that scale to MOVE.

    Hey Hey Hey! What's all that depression talk? We are transitioning from FLABULOUS to Fabulous and there is nothing depressing about that! My Yahoo account was hacked, lights went out last night (IT WAS HOT) and I have two meetings to go to today with the Directors, but guess what??? I still did those modified up and downs using my couch in the DARK AND HEAT. I will go to these meetings with my head held high and I will do what I can to protect my identity and get my Yahoo Account straight! Did I cry? YES...crying cleanses the soul...but did I do 100 side bends, 45 up and downs, I lost count of the jumping jacks, crunches and toe taps??? Yes, I did. So no depression here!

    Remember, this is a FOUR WEEK CHALLENGE. We HAVE GOTTA be building muscle (as bad as mine hurt) which might be why the scale is so stubborn! You are doing GREAT and eventually, it will go our way. So, let's concentrate on endurance, for it is never usually the fastest who wins the race, but he who endures to the end!

    Much Love Ladies...simply because even when Cap is away, my GIRLS DON'T PLAY! Let's rock it out!

    Getting off work in 10 minutes and heading to the gym. Need to work extra hard today to get some extra calories available for me - I want chicken wings tonight !!!! I was looking at the profiles of all of our team members and realized that I am the "most mature" (didn't want to say the oldest) of the group. Gotta try to keep up with all you young chicks !! Go Team Flab 2 Fab !!!

    Hey everyone! I am new to this group and lucky I was added in so I am very excited!! My name is Jolie, my current weight is 197.4 and I have my measurements in a blog so if you need them I will glady send them to you. :)
    My august goal is to lose 7 pounds. More would be lovely but I think 7 pounds a month is a good goal. I also want to be able a mile and a half straight at the end of the month. :)

    I am going to get on these challenges when I get home tonight. I'm sure I will have more questions, but right now I don't think I do. Glad to be doing this challenge with you all! =)

    Good job! I YouTubed side bends and they are pretty much what you think they are, but I use weights or cans to make it a little bit more advanced! Search YouTube and there are a couple of variations. I checked out the crab toe touches and I LIKE THEM! You Tube or Google those too.
