Hi guys! This is the group that was once called Weekly Challenges until Christmas....However the creator of the group has deactivated her account, so I'm going to throw this out there for group members who are still wanting to participate.

We will be posting our weight loss every Friday, and the new weekly challenges will be posted on Thursdays. A new thread will be started at the beginning of each month. The final weigh in for us will be Dec 23,2011... and hopfully we all will have reached our goals:wink:

This weeks challenge is:
Drink 10 glasses of water/day
workout 5 days this week
do 100 squats EVERYDAY this week(can break them into smaller sets if you want)

Good Luck....And if any of you have ideas or suggestions for future weekly challenges, please feel free to jump right in!!! I'm not a person who normally organizes things...but I wanted to keep this group going! Any help will be appreciated

    I'm still at 155 - not weight loss this week. I have been really sick, but am starting to feel better and am ready to get back at it! :) I have been getting my water in, but not my squats.

    May I join you guys? I'm in need of motivation after being on holiday for two weeks! This group sounds perfect!
    I'm not sure I'll be able to commit to the exercise part 100% but I'll try!
    This morning I was 155lbs.

    Okay, got my water in, and made it to 50 squats. Will be at 100/day by the end of the week, I am SURE! Thanks for the challenge! Being another pound down is motivating......you're right, the 130s are sooooo close! I'm excited - I'll be going into the holidays feeling better about myself, not worse yet again! And I have energy......and even strength!!!

    Reminder for myself: my goal weight for the end of this challenge is 130. That's .8 pound per week, and MFP has me set to lose .90 lb/week, so I'm trying to maintain that balance between enjoying the holiday foods and still pushing myself to be sensible and keep my ultimate goal of 115 in mind - enjoy, but not out of control!

    My weigh-in today is 131lbs; Lost two pounds since last Friday!!

    I drank my 10 glasses of water today, very proud of myself on that one!

    As for the workout, I walked 35 minutes today, but only at a leisurely pace :( Unfortunately, I've got a bulging disc in my lower back and rotated pelvis, and since Wednesday I've been in some serious pain. So right now my workouts are kind of on the slow pace, if any; hopefully within the next week I'll be doing better and can move at a faster, more intense pace! :)

    I'm about to complete the rest of my squats and look forward to a new day tomorrow! :)
