    I changed the access setting to allow anyone with the link to both the Buddy List and Adding the Shining Diamond Logo...please let me know if you still cannot access either of these documents.

    PLEASE ALSO MAKE SURE YOU READ THE RULES AND FAQs

    You can search google images for orange diamonds, green diamonds, or purple diamonds (whichever color you were assigned on the buddy list) and find a picture you like....right click...save target as...then save wherever you want and then u can upload to your MFP & set as your profile pic

    Little Diamonds - Thank you for posting the Buddy List...YOU ROCK!

    For all my Shining Diamonds ~

    I have your start weights from when you originally registered for the challenge...I will send you a message with this information. If you would like for me to include any weight loss/gain for the 1st week of the challenge, I will be glad to do so; however, in order for me to do so, I will need your current weight by tomorrow (Monday 8/29).

    I hope you ladies are ready ROCK N SHINE!

    It's monday morning here (germany), so I will go ahead and post my Day1 Question:

    ''What do you struggle with the most with losing weight, and how do you overcome?''

    For me, it's snacking. I eat fairly healthy and I enjoy working out, but there are always chips and cookies (and gummy bears) in the house, thanks to my bf. I try to remind myself what I've heard from others ''Nothing tastes as good as getting fit feels!''

    Day1 Question:

    ''What do you struggle with the most with losing weight, and how do you overcome?''

    When I am depressed, I tend to eat very little - or not eat at all. Well lately, my fiance and I have been constantly fighting, and I am not eating very much... usually around 600 calories a day - for the past three days. And well, it made me lose weight super fast, I just know that when I do start to eat normally again I will most likely gain a pound here or there. This is something that I struggle with, as I become depressed a lot, and I end up losing the weight, and then gaining it back... I am just hoping it doesn't cause a major gain this time as I am happy to be down to 202. :D
