Morning DITR ladies. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Time to get back at it (for those of us... me included, who fell off the wagon over the weekend)
This weeks challenge should be easy - 8 glasses of water a day.0 -
Morning Diamond friends!! I had a bad food day yesterday (damn fair) but we walked for about 7 hours straight...That counts for something, right?!0

I skipped the fair this year for that very reason. I know though we will eat way too much while we're at Disney. But at least we will do all that walking and YES, it does count for something. The average miles per day is 10, but I bet we do more. We are true park commandos going from open to close, which can be a 16 hour day plus some days. That's a lot of walking. I think I will have to track it this year.0 -

Disney sounds like so much fun!! Have a blast!!0 -
Hey all!
Well I'm back from my hellish weekend with the hurricaine. We all made it through and are doing well. You may have read on my profile that we lost one of our vehicles due to a tree collapsing on it.
So we had pizza and beer last night, lol.
Back on track (and feeling pretty sick) today though. Definately gonna kick it into high gear this week.0 -
WOW! I'm glad you're all safe, really, really sucks about your car!!! I say you totally deserved that pizza and beer!0
-
o0IrishEyes0o, so sorry about your car, at least it was just the car, right? We were lucky in our part of DC, only a few branches on the streets.
Can't wait to see the weigh-in results! My teammate and I kicked some *kitten*!! 0 -

Diamonds, I have assigned the QOTD! You can find the schedule next to your name on the TEAMS roster (in the blog). Be sure to have a look, you don't want to miss your day!!
Some of you are partner-less at the moment. Waiting on confirmation from a few new members!! Remember the Diamond Challenge is a commitment, if you don't think you are ready for something like this let me know!! On the other side, if you have an inactive partner, message me...we can get you the support you deserve!!0 -
Good Morning Diamonds!
QOTD- Have you set up a mini-goals and rewards system for yourself? If so, what are those goals and rewards?
Mine looks something like this-
CW-229
goal- 199 Massage
goal- 170 New shoes (and I'm not buying any til I get there, unless I have to...like if the damn dog chews my heel off again)
goal- 145 Spa day
Final- 130 NEW WARDROBE! =D (including a gorgeous skirt suit and the perfect red pumps
) 0 -

I did, but I don't think I'm going to make it. I wanted to be 247 lbs by Oct 31st. If that happened then I was going to get a $1000 shopping spree in NYC! I'm going to have to reevaluate my goal plans. Good QOTD to start thinking about that again.0 -

I actually hadn't set up mini goals and a reward system. Honestly I hadn't thought about it until now. I'm going to though because the thought of mini goals and rewards makes losing the weight even more exciting!!
So here's mine:
CW: 261
Goal: 250 - Mani-pedi day
Goal: 230 - Day at the hair salon
Goal: 200 - Massage
Goal: 170 - New work out clothes
Goal: 160 - New shoes
Goal: 140 - new clothes because I know I'll need them at that point
Goal: 130 - GOAL WEIGHT - New wardrobe complete with cute work out clothes and shoes!!
My rewards may change as I come across different things that motivate me, but at least this is a start.0 -
I had set up mini goals of a hair cut (done) and then getting highlights. But in wake of a disastrous attempt to colour my hair myself, I think I will switch to a mani-pedi.
I goto Vegas on Sept 6 and then I have a cruise on Sept 29. I'd LIKE to be in the 130s by the cruise, so I'm hoping to be super strict the next 30 days...0 -
Hello Diamonds. Today is my first day with DITR and I'm so happy to be here. I am part of the Yellow team. I look forward to getting to know you ladies as we all go through this weight loss journey together.
o0IrishEyes0o: Yikes, I'm so sorry to hear about your car. I'm glad that you and your family are safe otherwise.
kris24824: We're practically neighbors. I'm in NoVa (Springfield).
AleenaZ: We're partners. Yay!
QOTD: I hadn't set up any rewards for my goals, but I guess now is as good a time as any.
Start: 130 (June 2011)
Current: 123
Mini Goal: 120 (new pair of running shoes)
Final Goal: 115 by Christmas (new bathing suit)
We are going to the beach for Christmas and I'd love to be bikini ready by then. 0 -
QOTD- Have you set up a mini-goals and rewards system for yourself? If so, what are those goals and rewards?
No, I haven't, but maybe I should and see if that will kick my butt into gear. I seem to be burnt out at the moment on the exercising front and need to get it back together.
Anyone have any ideas?0 -
Rough weekend because of the hurricane. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.0

Great Question Aubrey!
I have personally never set up mini goals. I tend to be selfish, and if I want something bad enough I will get it. However I do understand how mini goal rewards are that little extra you can do for yourself! Perhaps I should think of some, maybe then my husband would be more accepting of my splurges
I do have a final goal reward though, and it is a vacation!

Jennifer- I'm pretty much the same way, if I want it, I go get it! For my goals though, I've just said I will not buy that for myself until... The shoes is a really tough one. I shoes. So it's like a huge motivator and reward, because, well a girl just can't live without new shoes! 0 -
Hello Diamonds! First change here so go easy on me! :laugh:
I have a friend who's in Little Diamonds so we'll have to kick their butts in order for me to look smug at Zumba!
I have mini goals on my profile but will copy them here:
80kg - try on wedding dresses (failed that, but I had to go at 81.8kg when a friend was visiting)
75kg - haircut
68kg - final goal, order said wedding dress and probably a whole new wardrobe due to everything not fitting!
Looking forward to getting to know you all better! :flowerforyou:0 -
