    No weight loss for me this week. I'm consoling myself with the fact that I don't have a digital scale (have a $ scale lol) and am only set to lose .8 lb/week, so it "shouldn't" show up this week, but next week should show another pound down. I hope! I got the 12+ miles in before it started raining and raining and raining......bleck. Since then all I've wanted to do is sleep!

    I ate veggies until I ran out, but got groceries on Weds and keep cooking my veggies since then - but I think I counted 5 cups of raw veggies this week, so close. I got 400 jumping jacks in. I usually don't do any, so the challenges are good for me!

    Crunches......okay!

    Have a great vacation, prairienewf! We'll be looking forward to hearing all about it when you get back, and we'll try to make you proud! :D

    I'm going to do this! But I don't own any scales because I think weighing yourself every day (as my colleage at work does) and getting exited about losing 1lb (which is a wee) is silly. I will let you know if my clothes get loose!

    10/8: 0 jumping jacks / 0.8 miles
    10/9: 0 jumping jacks / 2.2 miles
    10/10: 150 jumping jacks / 1.8 miles
    10/11: 150 jumping jacks / 3.2 miles
    10/12: 150 jumping jacks / 2 miles
    10/13: 0 jumping jacks / 1.5 miles
    10/14:

    I didn't do any jumping jacks yesterday because I worked really hard in the gym Wednesday and yesterday and was feeling some soreness, so I just opted out. Also have 11.5 miles in, might do something today, I'm not sure. I'm not weighing in today either. I was pulling out of my drive way on my way to class this morning when I found my oldest dog dead. Someone ran her over :cry: so my weight is the least thing on my mind today.

    @Trillian- don't sweat it...looks like you've had a good week-16 miles, that's fantastic:):) It will come off, are you eating enough calories? The no junk part of the challenge is going to be bad..but I really need to learn to stay away from it, wish I didn't like it so much!!!
    Good Luck this week everyone!!! XO
    Yeah, I'm not that far under on my calories, so I know I'm eating enough. And the junk food...I got back from my lunchtime walk and one of my co-workers had bought me a cookie from the bakery next door and left it on my desk. Argh! That sucker is going in my bag and going home to my kids. ;)

    It will come off - we all have weeks where the numbers don't show up. That doesn't mean you aren't losing inches. Plus, you may have had more sodium before the weigh in and in turn retained some water weight. Hang in there - you are doing great! :)

    Down 1 Lb this week....slowly creeping my way out of the 170's!! I think I need to eat a few more calories..the slimfast shakes didn't work this past week, although it was easy because I didn't have to think about breakfast or lunch:)
    Great job on the losses ladies!!!

    Hello everyone!

    Lost 1/2 lb this week, which is good for me...seem to keep losing/gaining the same pound!! :)

    Did all the jumping jacks!!

    I did 11.6 miles...man, wish I would've looked at my chart before I did my last workout so I would've known I was just barely short!! Oh well, live and learn!! :D

    The junk food challenge is a good one...hope I can do it!!

    Have a wonderful week!

    Ok.....so I've done my 50 crunches for the past 3 days( and I must say that I DESPISE them!!) Didn't get any cardio in today, because I spent the best part of my day at the rink (oh joy..hockey season has started again!) And I went Wayyyy over on my sodium intake for today! I'll do better tomorrow:)

    I HATE HATE HATE crunches!!! :( LOL! I have a big belly, so I keep thinking that once some of that fat is out of the way, maybe they won't be so stinking hard to do. LOL! :)

    Been an okay week so far, not getting in much for workouts...just walking the dogs & doing my crunches. Been so busy trying to get laundry done, house cleaned and ready to go! Leaving late tonight to catch an early morning flight. I'll be gone for 2.5 weeks, but I'll try to log in everyday, just to try to keep myself on track....good luck ladies!! XO

    Can I join in too? Gotta get my butt in gear again. Joined the site last year but found out I was expecting again but now that the Jellybean is over 6 months old, I have no excuses.

    Have a safe flight prarienewf. Can't wait to hear all about the trip when you get back but first I'll give you a call today before you go. When we get together next we'll celebrate our losses with tea instead of a beer or two. :smile:

    Hello all! I'm down 7 lbs this week (so down the 2 that I gained last week, plus another 5.) I stayed away from junk food - if anyone looked at my food diary and saw cheesecake on there a couple times, it was a healthy recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook ;) I think I did some sort of exercise every day...or maybe 6 out of the 7. We've had some rain so some of the workouts were shorter than usual instead of longer though. I can't really do longer when I walk at lunchtime - I already walk the entire 60 minutes when it's not raining. :) I must confess I did not do ANY of the crunches though. :p

    Well done ladies :happy:

    So this morning I did a Davina Cardio Box dvd for my interval training. So in the summer when I was trying to do it I like died during the cardio interval part..this morning I did it and totally rocked the full minute. Feeling good today :)
