    Last week I was demotivated, since I even gained 0.2 kg.. and this week has been pretty busy for me, though I've been following and doing silently the exercises xD
    I had water retention, and am from 83.5 last week to 81.1 now! yaaay ^^

    Still drinking lots of water... :D

    Gained 0.8 lbs....sigh. I know I shouldn't feel so down, but I'm the same weight I was before I lost last week. Well, next week :)
    Great job everyone! You're all amazing!

    I would love to do a low-carb week - I eat way too many carbs!
    Any menu ideas?

    I'm gonna skip my binge day today and just eat fruit :tongue: I pretty much negate a week's work with the whole weekend.
    So running everyday and bodyrock everyday, I promise :D

    Awesome challenges this week andreaie! :D im going to do the 2 days if not more for the sugar free and i already have my breakfast as soon as i'm up in the mornings so will be easy, apart from changing the coffee to a lemon water but definatley going to try it :)

    I dont really know how many miles i walk i just go by the time but i know im going to be doing at least 2.5 on sunday as i am doing the race for life then i will walk as many days as i can :)

    I try to have one carb free day a week anyway so i liked them :)

    Hey everyone

    I know I haven't been checking in every day but have been doing the challenges. This week was a good week I'm down 2lbs. I finally reached the weight I was when I started MFP!!!! I don't intend on back sliding again. I hope everyone else is doing well. Those who haven't lost pounds may have lost inches. Don't get discourage guys keep it up!!!

    P.S I HAVE A QUESTION?? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL ABOUT DOING THE LOW CARB WEEK AGAIN??

    OK - so challenge #1 - I don't think I'll do that one. I have my morning routine down and for many reasons, I don't want to change it. I do have breakfast at work, as soon as I arrive. I have to have my coffee - water just won't do it. BUT, what I WILL do is swap my SECOND cup of coffee for water. Deal? :bigsmile:

    Challenge # 2 - I will definitely try this one...I enjoy walking, and I'll just have to push myself to get out there.

    Challenge #3 - I don't eat too many sweets, but I will do this. It will mean cutting out my evening ice cream on those days. :cry:

    Challenge #4 - I have boosted my water to 6 - 8 glasses since joining this challenge. TEN is a real challenge for me (ha, ha) but I will try. I think challenge #1 will help me get started earlier in the day so that will help.

    I'm not real committed to low carb but if that ends up being the challenge, I will certainly give it my best shot.

    Oh - and in case anyone s wondering - I stayed the same this week.:brokenheart:

    Hi,
    I'm only in my second week, and I've just found these challenges. I'm going to give a try though!
    I think having something to shoot for, besides my weight loss, will help me meet my exercise goal.
    Thanks! :happy:

    Is it too late to join? I am just back to MFP after recovering from a back injury. Even though my mini goal deadline is the middle of Jan because I am going to Thailand and would like to be comfortable on the long flight., I think Christmas is even better to shoot for.
