    So we have quite a big range of people from different places/time zones then :smile:

    bjshooter, I hope you've not been affected by the riots?

    kimburg75 I'd hardly call England 'exciting' :laugh: I've seen the Eiffel tower though and i must admit if the weathers right it looks stunning. I've always wanted to come to America, not much chance of that happening though as I have no passport and am scared of flying :noway:

    Hope you're all doing well so far, 5 days to make a difference to the scales/inches before weigh in, lets kick our booties into shape!!
  • Good Morning all! I'm from upstate New York.

    I'm from the Chicago area.

    I've been struggling lately with a plateau - which always just sounds like an excuse to me. But, man it is not coming off!!! Already down about 53 - and goal is to lose 20 lbs in the next 20 weeks. That's doable!

    Let's kick it!

  • My goal for this week is to eliminate sugar. I'm also trying to drink at least 12 glasses of water per day.

    Kimburg - I really wouldn't call England exciting unfortunately, you all come frm much more exciting places :(

    tcmummy - no riots near me in Sheffield, there were rumours all day, but nothing came of them. Seems to have calmed down a lot now thank goodness. My sky news addiction was getting out of hand. Where are you?

    Aggiecass - My goals are to shred every day. Today was level 2 day 5, I had hoped to do it straight through this time, but I have already had two rest days, so I am on it this week.
  • My goal for this week is to stop snacking so much. I think TOM may be nearing, all i want to do is eat. I have also been tracking my sodium intake's. I already see a pattern that i go over each day, so i need to start working on that as well.

    Have a lovely day/night everyone!

    Hello everyone. Haven't weighed in yet this morning. Not expecting great results. I have been following the 4 Hour Body diet for about a month (to break a plateau) and the scale is always up on Monday and starts dropping during the week for my normal weigh in on Saturdays. I plan to do the 4HB for one more week and return to my "normal" diet on Saturday. Plus, I am at a stage in my game where weight loss is slowing down. I rapidly lost 89 pounds since January and now the last pounds are going to kick my butt. In fact, I think I am going to change my goal weight for Christmas. I have it set too big and that is setting me up to get frustrated.

    I am up exactly 2 pounds from last week, now at 230.8. thanks to my vacation!! but it was worth it and now I am back on track!!
  • Morning all, I am down 4.9 lb. from last week's weigh in.

    I hope everyone has a great week!
  • Morning guys! My weigh in this morning was 130.7, up from 130 even. I know it's not much but I hate going backwards. Let's just keep up the hardwork and all of us make this week awesome!

    I'm down to 271.2 from 273.3. First time the scale has moved in two weeks!! My goal this week is to get in 4-5 workouts as that seems to be helping more than what I eat!!

    Ok, let me try this again. My computer is NOT liking me today.
    Happy Monday everybody! Hope y'all had a great weekend.
    Looks like I stayed EXACTLY the same this week. Ugh. I know I should be happy it didn't go up any...but I'm not. LOL :smile:
    Anyway, still holding steady at 266. Hoping for a better week this week.
    Good luck to everybody as you weigh in today, and for the rest of the week!

    156.6 lbs (down 3.4 from last week's Monday weight of 160.0). Thursdays are my "real" weigh in days though so i'll continue posting my weight from the previous Thursday.

    Is there going to be a spreadsheet with everyone's progress?

    This group NEEDS some more communication so write...

    1. What you would change about last week and WHAT you are doing about it this week
    2. Your goal for this week (can be anything)
    3. Fun fact about you

    I'll start...

    1. I only burned 2,218 calories. This week I want to burn 3,500+ by sticking to my 6x a week works out
    2. Drink 12 glasses of water each day
    3. I am missing my second toe toenails on each foot
  • Monday weigh-in 164.6. Lost exactly 1lb from last week.

    1. I didn't eat enough veggies last week, so this week I am going to have them every day at lunch in addition to making my dinner plate 2/3 veggies.
    2. Goal this week is to start adding weights into my exercise routine.

    weigh in this week I'm 187 - up 0.4lb since last week.

    1. I simply ate too much and didn't exercise enough, I'm changing that this week by not eating as much junk and by trying to stick to an hour 5/7 of aerobics
    2. To try and get on top of my housework
    3. I have the mind of a teenager (not so fun for those around me)

    hope all you lovely people have a good week xxx

    I previously posted my weight but I am up 2 pounds from last week. I agree we need more communication and we NEED a spreadsheet or something to compare!!!

    1. I ate horribly (and enjoyed myself) on my vacation. This week my goal is to get by butt back in gear and work hard.
    2. My goal this week is to take my vitamin EVERY day!!
    3. Fun fact: I am a nursing student that graduates in December..................yayyy!!!!

    So this week I am 155.2 lbs. Yay!

    1. I would change my workout intensity.
    2. I am going to change the types of snacks that I eat. This is where I have a tendency to overeat.
    3. Fun fact: I start school this evening. Eeekk...I'm nervous :)

    Hey all. I am up 2 lbs. from last weeks weigh in....scale read 175.4 today after having too much fun on our mini-vacation! Hoping to lose it and then some by next Monday!
    1. Ate way too many of my old favorites last week! Nachos, pizza, burgers, chicken fingers, fries, wine coolers....to name a few!
    2. This week I will get back to eating better and logging my food, haven't logged since last Wednesday since we were out of town Thursday until tonight. Also plan to work out again and do my Jillian No More Trouble Zones at least 4 times this week.
    3. Fun fact: I used to be a special education teacher and now I'm a stay at home mommy to 2 toddlers. Once they are both in school I will go back to teaching, I loved it, but I also love being there every day for my kiddos.
