    Just to confirm, we submit the form each Friday so you have all our data in one place, correct?

    exactly

    I didn't mean for everyone to post the pics (except you decide to) but to have them for you and your personal motivation.
    (I'm not sure wheter to post them or not either)

    I've taken pictures too - for personal use and I think it's really important, mostly to show progress but also to accept how you currently look so you tap into the power to change it. I'm not pleased with how I look (and jeez the camera does make it worse!) but then I'll probably feel happy showing them when I'm at or near my goal weight. They won't hold any emotional power then as the pictures won't look anything like me but another person entirely - one I've left behind in the past. I strongly encourage people to take before and afters so you can be proud of what you've achieved!

    Hello-

    Today I did C25K on treadmill at the gym, 4.4 jogging and 3.4 walking for 30 min. , I walked at 3.5 for the last 15 minutes after. Totals: 2.7 miles in 45 min. Calories burned 280. Later this afternoon, I will do 30DS.

    I really want to lose weight for Christmas so I will feel confident when I go to my husband's office party. Heck, I just want to feel confident period. My background is that I'm 48 and 5 ft 3 inches In reading peoples bios, I realized that I am at the same weight now that I was when I was 8 months pregnant years ago. :noway:

    Anyway, I am seeing this through to the end. Feel free to add me as a friend.:flowerforyou:

    by now I've seen, that we're 60 already - amazing!

    for the week 1 weigh-ins please fill in the following form (like that it's easier to find your weigh-ins having them all in one place, sorted by weeks)

    :flowerforyou: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dGx1YnJ6WHhwLS1RSmlja296SmxmOHc6MQ#gid=0


    yes, if your starting now, just fill in your current weight, and I'll calculate from there onwards.

    had some bad days this last 2 days. tried to keep spare calories for the evening, when I got sooooo hungry in the afternoon, that I ate weigh too much and ate in the evening :( BUT today's a new day!

    did you manage to have your mini-challenge done?

    new mini challenge for this week: try a new healthy food everyday and fill up your water glass every day!

    Sending you good vibes & all the best

    we're doing it!

    Was there a repost I missed for the 2nd weigh-in or do we just use the spreadsheet link & enter our weights?

    Thanks

    I entered my weight for 2nd week in the same spreadsheet (link above).

    Not much of a change :grumble: - I was really good with exercise this week, but still in denial about food...

    This week I am going to really concentrate on the water... also trying new healthy foods.

    Thanks for this challenge - just in the nick of time!!!

    @Deediddly: yes, obviously you've missed it (just a few posts above you)

    There's a new form and link every week - so please make sure to see if you can find it in the forum.
    If you've friended me, you can find the actual link in my profile (as a news feed post).

    For now it doesn't matter if you filled in the wrong forms, but for the future it would be nice if you could take the right one.

    Lost one pound this week. I thought it would be more as I exercised diligently but one pound is one pound. Good luck to all this week!

    I didn't do well this week with food or exercise. I didn't push myself to exercise for the amount or types of food I ate. It was definitely a lazy week for me, but I will continue to work on being consistent with my diet and exercise routine. Striving for better each week, hope everyone is still motivated and wishing you all continued success.

    I submitted my weight! I wasn't much of a loss but I did hit a plateau and looks like I may be breaking through it!

    I didn't get to exercise as much as I would have liked to this past week, luckily I walk a lot at my job. I did stay pretty much on track with my food though! I'm proud of myself!

    I did give in to the chocolate wonderland quite a few times this past week but managed to stick to doing workouts everyday and didn't put on any weight so yay! :)

    Hey Everyone!!! I hope everyone is doing well this fabulous Friday! My week went as well as can be expected with my monthly visitor. Lucky Me! NOT!!! oh well. I managed to lose 2.2 pounds anyways. I didn;t get to exercise as much as I wanted to, but I did get an 8 mile bike ride in on Sunday. Felt great!! haven't been on my bike sense.lol hopefully this weekend maybe. I'm procrastinating on starting the couch 2 5k. I've downloaded the app I've created my playlist to listen to while doing it, but I can;t seem to get my butt out the door to just start it. I used to love to run. I so want to be able to love it again. Good Luck next week everyone!!! WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
