I will try to crank it out today. Yesterday was a hard day for me but I am trying to get over my emotionalness and enter into a new normal.

I am so full of excuses for myself but that is going to end.

Hoping to have a semi-fasting day today.

I just want to add that you are all doing such an amazing job here. You motivate me constantly and I appreciate it. Sandy, even though you may feel like this is a "bad" week, I am looking at your numbers and I am totally impressed.. Angie you are doing so great!! You are smashing this! Sarah, How is it going? The numbers I saw are promising!

Suzanne, do not be discouraged. Play with the numbers. You are doing so great in your discipline so don't get down on yourself. Sometimes the answer is eating more, sometimes less. Play with it and seek the advice of those on here who are succeeding. I am always amazed at those who say that after significantly INCREASING their calories that they started to lose! One of my "friends" was running almost everyday, doing p90x, and eating under 1200 calories. She put her body into starvation mode (yes, she proved that it is real!!!), Even though she was doing all of that she gained back like 30 or 40 pounds (maybe more...) It wasn't until she upped her calories to over 2000 per day that she stopped gaining. Then after for a month of that she started to lose! She is now eating about 1800-2200 calories a day and losing. Still others stick to the 1200 formula and eat some or none of their exercise calories and are losing. So, everyone is so different. There really is no cookie cutter way to lose weight. You need to find what works for you. The other tip, is to seriously take your measurements. The scales are NOT the whole picture of what is going on especially if you are doing tons of aerobics!...

Oh, one last tip for everyone and Tausha, maybe this could be one of our challenges??...free weights or some type of resistance training. Without building up muscle and getting in lots of protein, we end up with saggy skin and even if we lose the weight we still look flabby.

Can't wait to see everyone's successes tomorrow!!!

D

tara/kory- no excuses for being a bad teammate this week- i will just apologize & get better at it!!!

walkinggirl- YOUR NAME SUITS YOU JUST FINE!!! golly gee- where do you live that you can walk all over town!! As long as your safe... YOU GO GIRL:)

Since today is Tuesday & I took Sat/Sunday off due to BF's wedding- I didn't do very well at this weeks challenges I have been under calorie wise, even after eating at the wedding I'm sure i burned off LOTS of caloires dancing like a crazy woman!! I love my water still but i KNOW that i did NOT burn the calories for this week's challenges!

I'M BACKKKKK YELLOW TEAM!!!!!!

JOJO-I have seen you do so much, I KNOW you can rock it ! I am guilty at not meeting all of this weeks goals-with me it is the whole water thing...been eating a LOT of crushed ice trying to get some there.

For everyone: do what you can and stay focused...if you slip, don't let that be an excuse to take the whole week off. Shake yourself off and get back on the horse tomorrow! One day may hurt you the next couple of days, but if you focus and work at it, it won't affect your overall loss (now, multiple days a week will...but not one). I actually believe going over a couple of hundred calories one day a week actually helps lose weight because your body gets a little boost. At least, my body seems to like it.

Everyone is doing so awesome! Keep up the great work!!! Glad to be on this trip with you!!! :smokin:

Thursday through Tuesday results:

******************************************************************
# of Cups of Water: 38/60

# of days under calories: 3/7 (I don't know, not been tracking)
******************************************************************

Doing terrible this week and I'm sure it will show! TOM showed up yesterday and now I just feel so blah! Ate all my calories at lunch today when I was going to eat so light. Darn those free food leftovers at work!

Through Tuesday:

Calories Burned: 3018/3500
Cups of Water: 64/60 ****Done****
Days Under Cal: 5/7 over on sodium every day so far and went over on calories on Saturday.

Didn't get a workout in yesterday -one of those days! But I got in a big one this morning which I'll post tomorrow and definitely made the 3500 burned challenge.

sodium is killing me again! Part of the problem for me is I eat ALOT. I am set to 1650 daily before exercise to maintain and usually burn anywhere from 400-750 per workout session. Depending on my day, I eat most, if not all those calories back. While MFP adjusts upwards your carb/fat/protein numbers, sodium doesn't change. What's weird is my rings aren't tight, my watch is loose and I don't feel bloated but I will see it on the scale.

Good luck tomorrow gang, you all are doing so great and are truly inspiring!
