Hi Purples,

To add a little motivation I have started this thread to use with our weekly challenges.

To help keep you motivated why not add your name to this thread daily (if you get a chance) when you have completed the challenge on a daily basis.

Its just a little idea - (feel free add previous challenges if you are keeping to them also)

Good Luck Purples

    I like the idea! Just keep taking it one day at a time. The results will come if you stick to the plan!

    Thank you Paula - for everything!

    CRUNCHES? Oh my word - I have never done 50 'crunches' before - my son demonstrated them to me, my wonderful daughter encouraged. AND I DID IT!!!!! 50! YAY!

    Feel like I have given birth all over again, but that's OK.

    Water in!

    Need to log food - very busy day, first day back - I want brownie points too because I have avoided three enormous cakes in the staff room and a great big tin of chocolates.. I thought of you and I held my nerve.

    Thank you Team Purple - next week , we will hopefully gain the laurels!!!

    Another 100 . . . . INSANITY, LOL. Hmmm, I still have to do my Jillian Michaels workout . . . maybe I could eek out some more, lol.

    So far:
    120 crunches

    Under my calorie goal

    9 cups of water
    :tongue:

    Question for everyone: How often do you weigh yourselves??? I only weigh once a week, but I am wondering if I should do it more often of will I just depress myself. Thoughts please.

    I weigh myself every day but I only record it when I see a downward trend. Everyone says I shouldnt weigh myself everyday because I do get frustrated when I see an increase in number in one day. I know its not weight gain but its still frustrating.

    Today:
    200 crunches

    6 cups of water

    Just saw the thread for our purple team, so here's yesterday's info - 50 crunches and only 6 glasses of water and SUPER bad calorie day (cookies are my enemy).

    Be back later - gotta go get some crunches done and down a bottle of water to get my day started!

    I got 100 crunches in today, despite the horrendous flooding . . . . thankfully we are dry, but those around us have lost everything. The destructive power of water is amazing.

    I hope everyone was able to get their crunches done this week and has logged their weight results. For any one having difficulty with lack of losses (as I am) . . . . it is important to remember two things:

    1. Muscle weighs more than fat . . . . and looks better under your skin
    2. Skeletal muscle retains H2O, fat doesn't

    Ok, hope that makes everyone feel a little better if the scale isn't exactly going the direction anticipated as fast as desired. Keep up the great work!! It's paying off :)

    yeay! lost 1.4 lbs! about frickin' time!

    did 50 crunches yesterday and 50 today. just sent my weigh in form to peanut

    whew!!!!!! dang those crunches nearly got me! never felt my abs like THAT before. but i loved this challenge. mid week i wasn't seeing the weight move on the scale but i could see and feel a difference in my clothes so i knew something was working in this body of mine.

    thanks for the tips sakus. i knew muscle weighed more but didn't know muscles held water. maybe (hopefully) that's what was happening to me last week.

    hope everyone feels good about this week. saw some amazing work! even if nothing happend you still logged and that's what it's all about. who knows, maybe it'll catch up with you next week :)

    can't wait to see results!!! GO TEAM PURPLE!!!! WWWWOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

    I'm excited to see the results too.... Feeling better on the water, still too much of me to notice anything other than dull aches re the crunches, but glad to be in the challenge! Clothes fitting better - this is good. Go Team Purple!!
