    I had a pretty good day in regards to eating within my calories, drinking my water (got all 8 glasses in) and exercise. I did 1 hour on my Wii Fit board.....I worked of my anger from work today.......at one point today I felt like throwing the F***** printer out the window. I feel so much more relax now that I did some yoga and boxing on the Wii....
    Must go to bed now...I'll be weighing in around 8:30pm tomorrow

    Good Luck to everyone!! I will be waiting to read everyones progress tomorrow night.

    If we are all going to have a picture taken in our best swimming suit this summer, we should have an ab exercise challenge (maybe 5 to 10 minutes each night or every second night) I hoping that my swimming suit will be a two piece...I have NEVER worn one before. :glasses:

    does it matter what time we weigh ourselves? and post it? i usually weigh myself in the morning after my shower, while i'm hemming and hawing about what to wear to work.

    Whoo Hoo, I want to join this group. What a fantastic idea!!! My start weight is 160 lbs.

    I was away on holiday last week so I didn't see this thread. My husband and I went to Austria. He loves to downhill ski and I agreed to go to ski school. I made it through one day and strained a tendon in one of my knees. I didn't even know I was hurt at the time! It will be 4-5 weeks before I'm back to normal so this group will help keep me motivated as I can't do any lower body exercises besides a slow walk.

    Realta my husband and I celebrated our first anniversary the day after you and your hubby.

    So its official this weekend officially killed my progress! I started on this thread at 194.5 and just now I weighed in at 194 so only a half pound weight loss.

    Next week I am going to switch from Zumba to a Step-Muscle Fusion class they have at my gym. It looks like a great workout and fun at the same time.

    Hope everyone else had a better week than I did!

    wk 0 - 177
    wk 1 - 176 :love:

    what kind of a week did everyone have? i had an up and down week, but the good news is that i lost 1 pound! :drinker: whoohoo!

    i did ok on my water challenge, i want to keep working on it though

    the trying new foods challenge went ok too, although im not sure how healthy they were
    i tried
    olives (didnt like them)
    pheasant (was at a restaurant last nite, YUM!)
    hazlett (some kind od sliced sausage meat, a little strong tasting for me)

    the only new things i tried this week for exercise was bowling and an exercise dvd that i have :flowerforyou:

    congrats on all your losses guys, we WILL do it!

    i will post next weeks challenges tomorrow morning when everyone has weighed in, if you have any suggestions feel free to add them :wink:

    sw: 164
    current weight: 162 :smile: :smile: :smile:

    i did good on the water--and it really helped i think to drink a whole glass of water before sitting down to a meal.

    new foods: white chicken chili (yum) and i've started enjoying yoplait light yogurts. they're really filling for only 100 calories.

    i didn't do so great on "new exercise" =/

    how'd everyone else's week go?

    Wk 1: 157.2

    Could have been worse considering my wine and pizza weekend :noway:

    Will work harder to stay on track this weekend.....I'm sick of being in the 157's :mad:

    This group is really motivating though..especially the bikini photo at the end! :blushing:
