    Taranmisty - glad your daughter is fine and that you are BACK!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! :devil:

    Maureendonahue - that's such an AWESOME NSV!!!! I'm so happy for YOU!!! I KNOW that must feel GOOD!!!! :drinker:


    You guys are doing an AMAZING, AWESOME, TERRIFIC job of posting your "stats" for me.... Kudos to ALL of YOU!!!! :love:


    JUST A FEW REMINDERS....

    Tomorrow (Sunday) is a REST DAY.... but don't forget to weight tomorrow (Sunday) morning and post your weight on the thread so we can see how GREAT everybody is doing!! I have to report the weight and all of our other stats to Gary by Monday morning..

    We've had 3 people drop from our team this week, so if any of you have any 'friends' that didn't get in on this challenge on another team, there is still time to join - but the absolute DEADLINE is Monday morning... Send me a message if you have someone - ok? It will be first come... yada yada - you know the deal.

    Also, don't forget that come Monday morning, I am going to start a NEW forum thread, so don't post anything here .... I'll put the link to the NEW thread here and on my profile so that you can find it easily.....

    Each team got some "gravy" points this week due to several people dropping out from alot of the teams (last I heard there were about 25 teams in this challenge)..... but starting Monday... no more "gravy" points!! We gotta DO THIS!!

    I'm getting ready to post the challenges for week 2 so that you guys can take a look and view some of the YouTube videos if you want and ask questions if you need to....

    Also, I'm going to issue a PERSONAL challenge to all of you on my team - so watch for that for next week too!!!!!!

    I think that's it for 'news'..... now go out there and have a GREAT wekend and KEEP KICKING AUGUST'S BEHIND!!
    RAWRRRRR!

    Saturday 8/6:

    Squats -- check (my son told me they'd only count if I used weights, so I used 5 lb weights...after I was done, he said "Just Kidding!!")
    Water -- 14 and counting
    Under calories -- yep, but it was HARD since we had a potluck at the lake with family today!!

    Tomorrow's weigh in will be interesting... I was doing really well until I got hit with major sodium yesterday and today :( Hoping for a good result anyways!!

    Lunges done
    Water done
    Exercise really done! Went to an amusement park today and chased teenagers from ride to ride. No big deal if they just rode the rides in order. But they go from one end of the park to the other and back to do the rides in the order the kids want. I'm exhausted but it was a lot of fun!
