    Not as much as I had hoped for but it's still a loss. My goal was to be 140 for the weigh in on 9/28. I think this is still possible. I've just got to keep my exercise going.

    Looks like everyone's starting off well! Great job and good luck for next week!

    Totally forgot to weigh myself before I got in the shower yesterday morning- threw everything off! Hope that my one day late isn't going to affect too much!

    naw, that's fine. :) i've had to do that before.
  • I'm Jaimie, I am a mom of 2 (7 and 4), a taekwondo instructor, and a chemistry tutor. I have taken up "running" (combo run/jog/walk) and have been doing a few 5K's near my home in Indiana. I have just started a lifting regimen to build more upper body strength so I can join my tkd collegues in a Tough Mudder in April... we'll see :)

    if anyone wants to do a challenge this weekend, it is: TO PICK OUT A REWARD FOR MEETING YOUR CHALLENGE GOAL. i will post the challenge on thursdays after the weigh-in. it will be a random idea and you can chose to participate or not. if you do, have fun finding something to anticipate (in addition to the weight loss). it can be small like a new set of earrings or eating an ice cream sundae, or large like a massage or tattoo. let us know how you are going to reward yourself!

    Good luck everyone
    Forgot to post yesterday sorry.
    At the end of this I am going to buy a sexy dress when i get to my goal weight, there is a party every year & i want to look very hot.
    For the next challenge when i complete it i will do something that costs no money (its so tight @ the mo) like having a girly night in doing each others nails, hair & make-up, watch films. I have never done this before.

    May I join you guys in this challenge? My name is Sunny, I am a stay at home mom to three girls ages 12, 9, and 7. I have been happily married for 15 years. I am 5 feet tall and currently weigh 119.8. My goal weight is 110.
    I love to read and my favorite way to exercise is walking, light jogging.
    I could definitely use a little motivation to stay on track.:smile:

    Ive been thinking about buying the Michael Jackson Wii game for a couple of months now. So, when I reach my goal for this challenge, I will reward myself with the MJ the Experience Wii game.

    How has everyone's weekend been?
    I have been working this weekend & did not do exercise last night. I have work tomorrow so i am hoping to get a work done before i go to work. I better get up early before the kids do, workout, grab a shower before chasing the kids to get ready for school & then the house work. busy day tomorrow
  • When I make my goal weight I'll plan me and my boyfriend a little weekend getaway....I've really been wanting to go to Sedona Arizona and go on the pink jeep tour. I wanted to do it this summer but it's been so hectic with work so I think that will be some good motivation!
