0 -
loved exercise this week, need to get some sort of routine in place though as i am busy trying everything, have swam three times this week, now managing a mile in 40 minutes,which isn't great but it is for me :-) have cycled, and completed the 30 day shred, oh an not to forget my walks with my puppy dog blue, which i always enjoy. My entire body aches :-) which i am liking as it means i am pushing myself. had a sneaky weigh in today and was a little disapointed with 1lb loss so must now also concentrate on my portion sizes!!!
But am on the whole happy with week 1 of the aug challenge.
Well done ladies looks like everyone is working hard and doing great things, keep up the hard work and look forward to Monday and seeing all our results up here together xxx0 -

4 days till next weigh in and 21 days till we're all 10lbs lighter! sorry i've been AWOL think i'm coming down with something so took yday as my rest day! i'm back today though so let the cardio and toning begin!!!
very interestin article in women's health about how strength training helps you lose more than cardio!!! so will be taking my strength training very seriously even though i dont use heavy weight, like p90x and tracy anderson, i defo believe in using you body weight as your resistance! very intersting article, cant get the link up but its sooo worth a read!!
lots of thinspiration from fbmandy and maggiwatson!!
please remember and weightloss is progress no matter how small!!!
so! skinny ladies!! let the fun continue!!!0 -

I've been thinking about this challenge alot. My cousin/best friend has an emergency gallbladder surgery on Thursday last week. I was at the hospital with her all day and night and the next day and night too. I spent the weekend at her househelping her with kids and so far this week doing the same, she cannot lift over 15lbs and has a 3 year old and infant). SO, what that means is I've had no exercise other than running around like crazy and have been living off mostly fast food or unhealthy food. Good news is, as of today I haven't gained anything though I only lost .3 last week. Hoping for a good weigh in Friday!0

hopefully my connection will last for more than 2 mins!!!

really nice and encouraging weight loss!! well done to everyone!! all the best this week!!!0 -
