    I had 7 days of drinking the water & staying under the calories
    Then 5 days of 2+ miles per day

    Weight 187.8 for 2.5 pound loss

    Only was able to do days 1-3 as that's when m y internet came back. Been under calories every day! I did gain one pound, but I'm going to assume that's because of female issues :(

    I'm good to continue....I won't make my 10 lb loss goal for this month (might have been aiming to high there!) but I HAVE lost and I like being given a routine, rather then have to sit and poder what to do!

    For the October challenges, I'm thinking of mixing it up. I've been hearing you all talk about how the exercises are the same every week and the "challenge" just isn't there for some of the exercises. Has anyone checked out Bodyrock.tv? I was thinking that maybe we could inforporate the exercises that are on that site for our team?!

    let me know your thoughts or suggestions! I love Gary's format for the challenges, but i feel that he just has so much on his plate (there were over 600+people in the September Challenge) that maybe the workouts are lacking some extra oomph!! Let me know what you all think, or any other idea you may all have!! Either way, i'll still be tracking points and results, and will be creating a GoogleDoc that we can all access and update as the month goes on!!

    Thanx for letting me be your team captain!! you gals keep me motivated to keep going!

    I love the new pic Holly!!!! Can't wait to add it!

    I think a new or added format sounds good. I had a tough time fitting some of the longer workouts in too...like this week needing an additional 5K on a few of the days on top of the workouts I'm already doing (maybe doing the 30 day shred wasn't the best idea for September along with the challange).
