    Didn't get my cardio in, but I did have white chili with red bell pepper and corn. Overall, I didn't get my daily allowance of veggies.
    Today will be different. Weights and cardio later and more veggies planned.
    I'm on another challenge group and the lady actually made a chart to keep track of peeps goal weight. We just check in once a week to post your weight. At the end of the week, we see where we are.

    My day was okay. Sorry to hear you have the flu Elz! (I feel like I always have a new way of saying your name)
    Had an exam is Psych and then worked and had the dentist. Pretty standard day. Could not stabilize my blood sugar today to save my life.. This means I'm probably coming down with something. Blah!

    Hope you get to feeling better- great way to get your veggies in too despite being sick!! Way to go!! I ate veggies at lunch and dinner- so proud of myself! =)
    I also got in my 45 min of circuit training and cardio yesterday...I WILL do it again today!!!
    Here's to hoping you feel better soon!

    feeling a lot better today, so spent 90 minutes at the gym, very low intensity workout...

    i also had to drop my weights down a notch for nearly everything because - feeling weak i guess? it sucks :(

    I'm in!
    I just found this page and really need some motivation, I've found that I've tried to count calories in the past and it worked...but I lost all motivation and gained it all back plus some. Just need to know I'm not the only one struggling out there!

    Went to a brutal Spin Class last night! I think the instructor hates me because she screamed at me the whole time! Oh well, the sweat was pouring off of me so it was totally worth it! Struggling with the Halloween candy right now...really wish my kids weren't old enough to buy there own because they leave it out and I can't resist!!

    Have a great day everyone :wink:

    Just curious, are we going to be assigned "partners" for this? Someone we can personally connect with and send messages to every day?

    That's actually a good idea. Me and Ellie (OP) already talk regularly, but the partner idea sounds really cool!

    Well, for anyone who wants to "partner" up, it would probably be best to be with someone with similar goals. So I'm gonna post mine!

    I started off athletic throughout my whole childhood but became basically inactive during high school due to wanting to keep my grades high. When I moved out of my hometown and in with my boyfriend and his family, I put on some weight. And then I started college, where I put on more. I was 140 when I went to the doctor to check out an injury. I was 147lbs when I decided I needed to lose weight.

    My starting/heaviest weight: 147lbs
    My current weight: 136.8lbs
    My MFP goal weight: 130lbs
    My ultimate goal weight: 120lbs

    I try to be as supportive and positive as possible. I have my down days, but they're much more far and few between now that I have a support system of my own! Anyone who has had a recent injury or surgery, like me, I can probably give you some tips. I also work for a gym, so if I can't answer your question, I work with a lot of health pros who can probably answer :)

    Hey, actually that sounds like an amazing idea... so if everyone wants to write on the topic some stuff about themselves and we will see how we go about getting y'all partners.

    I'm 19 and from australia, I had anorexia nervosa in high school (years 7-10) and by the time i went to college (years 11-12) i decided to eat again, but any little thing i ate made me put on weight and as i worked at mcdonalds they gave me free food so what the heck? it's free food right...
    I also used to have really bad depression and anxiety that I was on meds for but ever since I changed my lifestyle around I am no longer on any meds, I use exercise as my antidepressants and am happier than I have ever been!
    HW: 96.7kg (I think that is about 213lbs)
    CW: 83.6kg ( 184lbs)
    GW : 56.7kg (124lbs)

    I'm excited!! I weighed in today because I'm going to the fair again today, but my results were awesome! Very pumped :)

    My weekend just started, lol. Saw my boyfriend yesterday after classes so that's pretty cool I guess.
    And not gonna lie, my veggie intake hasn't been that great. Basically only veggies with dinner.

    YAY nice work! :)

    The scale is being a meany this week and saying I only lost 0.1kg which I really don't get as I cleaned up my diet A LOT this week. But my sodium was pre high on saturday so hopefully it is just that!

    Anyone have any ideas on challenges?
    I'm going to be starting the 30 day shred this week (hopefully tomorrow) if anyone would like to join?

    I really need to start up the Shred again. I did 3 days, but I can't seem to fit it into my schedule. I need to set up a workout schedule where I can fit in the Shred and the gym.
