    Nicole: Please let me know how progress will tracked (is there going to be a google spreadsheet like I see on some challenges or are we going to just do check through blog posts?); also is there a certain day we should check-in for the weeks challenge and results.


    Good question!

    I have a spreadsheet that I am keeping track of everyone on. Weigh-in day will be Mondays; starting with the upcoming on October 30th. You should also let me know how you did for the previous week's challenge.

    I will post updated spreadsheet image shots by Wednesdays, with updated points.

    Good luck! :-)

    Your message to me about the millenium force was too cute. I grew up in Fremont (45 minutes south east of Toledo), and so Cedar Point was always 20 minutes away. I haven't been there in a few years because when I went in 2009, I was about 260 pounds....and THREE people had to help buckle me into the wicked twister while I pushed together my breasts! SOO embaressing. Haven't been back since. I really want to go this summer. My husband and I love roller coasters and it would be our first time going together.

    I was thinking about going to Cedar Point this weekend for the Halloweekends, but not sure how it would work with a sweater/sweatshirt on and winter coat. Thinking the seat belt thing probably wouldn't work too well since I have a big booty and hips, in addition to all the clothes I would need to stay warm. Lol I had almost the same problem on the millennium force with one of the workers trying to fasten the seat belt. It fasten but I was super embarrassed about it all. It will feel sooo good not to have that problem anymore!!

    Well, at least if you don't go....think of all the crowds you will avoid! I'm sure it will be crazy busy.

    Hi and thanks for setting this up. I lose weight very slowly which is OK with me. I would like to look good next summer even though I feel I"m too old to be in a swimsuit in public.

    SW-130
    GW-120
    I love - that my arms are thin
    I don't love -all the fat around my stomach
    I forced myself to exercise today - I "walked" three miles (one then two) with Leslie Sansone, whose DVDs I really like

    Glad to be here.

    hey everyone! Today was a good day. I drank 10 cups of water and walked another mile. I just started yesterday so thats 2 miles for me this week. I would love to have friend requests. I need and would love to give encouragement. The amusement park has been an issue for me. I looooove to ride all kinds of rides but havent for years. I watched them ask a woman to get off one summer because she couldnt fit and thought that she looked the same size as me. I wanted to cry for her and never got back on a ride since. I have 5 girls and every summer think about how im loosing out on riding with them. I always make excuses as to why i cant ride and I dont want another summer of doing that!
    Ive been trying to find a moment each day to remind me of why I should stay strong and loose weight. so here is my one reason for today.... I was in the mall and as i was passing stores i thought that I should stay strong and loose because the bigger you get the less attractive the clothes are to buy. I wanna dress like a cool mom lol. I want my daughters boyfriends to think im the hott older sister!!

    I love that I actually have a butt
    I don't love that I am always too worried about my weight to enjoy things I could be doing with my husband and kids, like going to the lake or beach.
    I started to take a break from the treadmill a couple weeks ago bc I hurt my ankle. Then, I decided to start Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I guess next week I will start your challenge. I only drank 40 oz of water today.
