    YAY!! Welcome to our family tree, plantgrrl!! <3

    Challenge for the week - Something cute...
    Go for a walk/jog/run around your neighborhood or wherever you want... But NOT at the gym & take a picture of something beautiful. some kind of flower, bush, tree, birds, kids playing, what have you... Post it here, or somewhere..

    Maybe we can gain inspiration from this.. To enjoy the simple things in life. :D

    Really love this challenge! Will definitely do this! I actually prefer running outside rather than gym anyway and Autumn is my favourite time of year, so good excuse to enjoy it! x

    I prefer it, as well. Plus, you burn more IMO.

    Finally checked the forum! Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm gonna try hard here. I'm on team Green Grapes. Go Grapes! I've been having a bad week, head cold and prepping for week long trip to Paris, France in 10 days, so probably up on Thursday. :( I won't be able to log a weight on 10/13, but I'm gonna walk like a champ in Paris and eat well but not 'til I explode and see how it goes. Then, when I get back it'll be hard core through January (when I turn 30).

    Thanks for having me! I'm gonna work hard to make the team proud. :)

    Welcome! Lots of luck with this challenge, hope you feel better soon as well!

    Ross, would it be okay if plantgrrl is away for 10/13 to log her weight the same as her previous week weight so we can still get results done?

    Good morning, all! I don't know where this week has gone. I swear it was Friday just yesterday.

    This week is a no change for me. After the past two weeks only being half pound losses this is not very good, BUT it was my birthday weekend so it's better than a gain. Now uni has started back up, it's time to get back on track properly.

    So yesterday I bought a new exercise bra, two pairs of jeans in my actual size (which means I can finally chuck those ugly, bigger sized ones I'd been wearing) and a pair of jeans one size down as some motivation (which is my goal size). I also bought my first pair of running shoes. I've never owned any before so I'm super excited about this. And on top of all of this, my boyfriend wants to 'bulk up' so we are going to join a gym together when he gets paid (1-2weeks time). I can feel the motivation flooding back now, so I am aiming for a proper loss next week.

    I hope everyone is feeling motivated too, and good luck with your weigh ins today! :D

    Ok something is up and I can't add my weight again! I am using my husbands laptop because mine died. So can someone please add my weight for me again? 150. Thanks!

    Also, I will be out of town next week on vacation, but I will be back for weigh in on Oct. 13th. Just letting you know Ross...maybe just add my weight from this week for next weeks weigh in?

    Good luck everyone on your weigh ins this week! Go BANANAS!!!!

    Wish I could lose more than these tiny amounts each week!!! Grrr! Well that's 1/4 of a lb down this week lol wish it was more. But for those who measure in stones and lbs (or if you're UK) then you'll understand that it's actually a great week, as that 1/4 of a lb put me UNDER 12 stone, which is great :)

    Lost 0.2 this week, which is fine because I was eating sick people food most of this week (hot noodle soup) and had a pint of ben and jerry's earlier this week. I'm hoping as I start to feel less icky for this coming week, so I'll be able to get back to the gym. Keep up the good work everyone!

    Well, I lost a pound, but I'll be honest and admit it's the same one I found last week. :ohwell:

    I know why I haven't lost: I'm not eating enough, not drinking enough water, not getting enough sleep, and not excerising. I've had NO motivation. :grumble: I just want to be under 200! :sad: Quick, someone send me your motivation, stat!!

    So disappointed in the darn scale this morning! I'm up .4 lbs grrrr. I thought I was doing well, especially since I've changed up my workouts and have been pushing myself harder. I'm not going to get too down though because I just started TOM last night and I also think I'm gaining muscle. Just frustrated that I'm not helping out my teammates! Hope everyone has a great day today!

    Rio- that sounds like a good plan to me. I'll do it right now so I don't forget!

    Plantgrrl (Katie)- I will do the same for you when you are away on 10/13.

    Paulahhh- Loving the challenge! Will be sure to complete it once it stops raining!

    Thanks for the heads up everyone!

    Well I stayed the same. Can't blame the scale, I blame my bum foot and lake of motivation :explode: I've also been more concerned on my fiance's weight lose journey that I haven't really been taking care of myself. However he is down 8 lbs so I'll give myself a small pat on the back :wink: can anybody suggest some exercises I can do that don't involve standing or walking? Congrats to lose who lost and to those who gained or stayed the same, there's always next week! Go Peaches!!!!

    Since I've been doing my running outside, instead of inside a gym... AND it's been super hot lately... I found my "secret" as to losing more. I sweat more under the heat, and I run faster.

    I thought I hit a plateau earlier this week, but I said "*kitten* that!" Ran my *kitten* off ;] -4.7 since last week.

    Sorry for not adding my weight yesterday ladies - I got home really late and it completely slipped my mind - could someone be kind enough to update my weight to 154.8?

    Congratulations to all that lost this week, and fear not if you had a gain - there will always be little ups and downs, so just take this week, learn from it and move on! Fingers crossed for everyone to have a great week this week!

    Today is my rest day, and man do I feel like I've earnt it. Since Monday I've done 8x10mile cycles and 3 runs - my legs are like lead! So today I will be mostly sitting, eating or sleeping, and then tomorrow I'm back on it!

    Gooooo bananas!!!

    Come on ladies! Get your weights posted to the spreadsheet!

    A heads up is always nice if you know you won't be able to log on Thursday. Without one, I think we all tend to get a bit worried about our teammates. Just shoot me a message if something is going on in your life so I can figure out what to do with the week's spreadsheet. It's only fair that the ladies who do log regularly get to know who the weekly winners are in a timely fashion.

    I'm not naming names or pointing fingers; just a general statement to the group for this week and future weeks.

    I truly thank you all for being part of this journey! Happy weekend!

    My favorite fruity friends... I never in a million years saw this day coming, but it has... I must leave this challenge... some of you may have seen my status... if not, well, im pregnant! My husband and I are thrilled, but quite shocked! It took us 18 cycles of hard-core trying in order to conceive our son. 2 months ago I went off my birth control and we were going to start trying for #2 in December. Well, apparently God had plans for us a bit sooner! So, I will still be hanging out around MFP to support you all in this awesome journey. And so that I have a place to come 9 months from now when I need to lose the baby weight! The bad news in all of this joy is that I must leave the challenge... with my previous miscarriage I cannot take the risk of over-doing my physical activity. And obviously, I don't need to be intentionally losing weight! So, keep in touch, and I wish you all much success!

    GO BLUE BERRIES!
