    Yes, I think a weekly progress check would be a fab idea.

    im thinking tuesdays for weigh ins?

    I think I've done pretty good so far this week, trying to get in a few walks, even if its not as long as i have hoped for! Im taking my measurements over the weekend too to see which i drop quicker, weight or size?

    do you allow yourself a "cheat day"? or a treat maybe?

    I'd be in! My journey will likely take me way past Christmas, but it'll be a start! Admittedly, I am logging in a bit less on MFP, I was addicted and spent so much time weighing, counting...which I know is important! Funnily enough, I stopped, and the weight has been coming off! Must have been the stress of my food scale haha!

    I definitely fit the short criteria, I'm 5ft 0 (maybe and a 1/2 hehe)

    My goal is to go down a clothing size by Christmas.

    I won't give a number, because the scale hates me (and I hate it!) and whilst my clothes have been feeling looser, the scale doesn't reflect that, so I'm finding the clothes a better indication of my weight loss.

    Currently I'm 159 lbs
    My goal is 135 lbs.

    I treat myself when I want and allow for it on my calories, whether it be that day in particular or the day after. Just push myself a bit harder when I work out.

    I know we said weigh in day was Tuesday, but my day is Saturday so I thought I'd share how I did. Well...I didn't lose a thing this week :( I feel better about myself but not pounds lost.

    I have been doing 30 day shred everyday, walking at lunch for 30 mins (3 times a week), and walking either treadmil or outside (3 or 4 times a week 30-60 mins).

    I wouldn't say cheat day, but if I know I am going somewhere that I want to indulge a little I workout harder to make up for it.

    I'm currently at 136, hoping to get to 125 with a toned body! I'd take 130 with a toned body too.

    Well done. I've been working hard after the weekend camping and had a go at the C25K yesterday, when I dropped it at my lighests in November, I would really love to get back to that level. Going to have another go tonight. The only thing is that I don't burn as much calories as walking fast on incline.

    Right now i'm working on finishing a 5k (started but due to injury had to stop and slowing working my way back up). And eating healthy while the stress and commute of school makes it more difficult to avoid snacking!

    Currently doing a 30DS challenge. The scale isn't cooperating with me, but the measuring tape is showing shrinkage. Hoping I'll see some movement both on the tape and scale by the end of the challenge!
