    Happy Move-ember! You are all doing so great, I'm still trying to get motivated again, like I was the first part of the year, it is sooo easy to fall back into old habits, like stopping at Hardee's for a thickburger.... yep..... for supper ....771 calories yikes!!!

    Fast food is a huge trap I can't go to a restuarant without a plan because everything I like has massive calories and fat.... Tomorrow is a new day!!!

    Tomorrow is our first official weigh in!! I know since we started on Tuesday that weights may not have changed but please update them anyway as a "check-in" for the week a new challenge will be posted in the morning!

    :flowerforyou:

    ALSO - still missing 3 starting weights!!!! This month is going to be busy busy busy for me so please check in on fridays as I'm not going to have time to track people down.... If I don't hear from the last 3 people by tomorrow I'll have to drop them from the group. :frown:

    Feeling really good about today. I had some messy food choices but worked hard and made a great dinner to even out the day.

    Day 3 = 9 cups water, scheduled workout complete! :) Might even have 11 cups just to get a better weigh in in the morning.. :) yeah!

    Another day of 30DS done and I'm a bit nervous about tomorrow's weigh-in. I haven't been eating enough calories I don't think so I went a little over today. I've had a few days this week of burning 700-900 calories and I can't eat all that back! I guess the morning will tell...

    sometimes, tageekly, the days I eat the most lead to the morning weigh ins at the lowest! I don't get it, but I like it :)

    Hi Shalimarmandy, I have never joined one of these groups before but I just wanted to say thanks, it looks like you put a lot of work into it. My SW on the spreadhseet should read 156 as I think 159 was just a post halloween bloat!!

    Today my weight at weigh in was 152.5 (I was 153.5 last Friday before halloween). I am really happy with this as it means now I am in the 10stone bracket - a number I haven't seen in a while!!

    Thanks again for this group I hope to get to 10.5stone (147lbs) by the end of November. Good luck to everyone else!!

    Good morning! I tried posting today's weight in the Google Doc, but think I might have screwed something up -- my apologies!

    Down 1.2 lbs this week! Today's weigh in at Weight Watchers: 165.2.

    This week I really focused on trying to stay within my points and calories as best as I could and worked out every day. Guess it paid off!

    Good luck to everyone else doing their weigh-in's today.

    ... and my goal for the coming week: see if I can do 2 days (2 out of 7) where I am below my calories/points, and try my best this weekend not to overindulge. (Last weekend: chocolate cake, halloween parties, booze, Thai food with families, oy vey!).

    If I can lose 1.4lbs by next week, then I will hit my 5% mark at WW and will pass my 10lb mark on MFP. So, here's to another good week!

    Check in 11/4/11 I did my WI this morning I gain 1 lb. I don’t know if it is muscle gain from cardio or Mother Nature. I went to Zumba class last night it was great, going tomorrow. I increased my water intake to 128 ounces yesterday, trying to drink 135 ounces today. Have a great weekend.

    Happy Friday everyone! I know we all will do well. I usually weigh on Sundays but did so today and I am down 1.2 pounds, 184.4. Also tried to update the spreadsheet but after submitting it, it didn't show my updated weight, just said July 2. I did not want to ruin that perfectly set up sheet do I left it as is.

    I am filling my 2 litre jug of water again today, will repeat yesterday's intake of 8 glasses.

    Have a great Friday everyone!

    So I usually don't weigh myself till Sunday at my girlfriends house, my scale is broken, if I don't get there before to her before Sunday you can just put my weight in as my SW for today.

    Good morning/afternoon ladies, first thank you Shalimarmandy for all your hard work and effort! I can't see the spreadsheet at work, but I will check it out when I get home- i am going to the gym after work and will weigh myself there.

    I'm down from 174 to 172.2. Last night I exercised with resistance bands and got in some cardio. I am slacking on my water intake and need to up it. I have been meeting all of my other goals.

    Loss of 0.8 lbs :) The spreadsheet changed my 142.4 to a simple 142 even though I noticed some others were able to post tenths of a pound on their weight. Can you tell me how to fix that?

    I've got today scheduled as a rest day, but the very first Zumba class at my gym is tonight! I shall see how much cleaning I can finish before that, and maybe go :)

    You did great! The error was in formatting and I fixed it so thanks for noticing!

    Its probably water weight.... After a hard work out your muscles will retain some water to repair the muscle I bet it drops in a day :)

    This week's challenge...

    1.) Stay under/at your calories goal every day this week (on average - if you have an expected overage counteract it with working out or cutting back somewhere else)
    2.) Work out for a minimum of 200 minutes this week (divide it up how ever you want)
    3.) Drink your water - 8 glasses every day!
    4.) Make at least 2 post this week to this thread either updating your status or encouraging one of the other challenge members
    5.) On Friday, update your weight and any nsv for the week.

    Thanks so much for doing this!! This week has been hard and the month is only getting busier so it's great to have concrete goals.

    NSV: Less back pain this week and although I'm not quite a full size down, my clothes are fitting much differently/ comfortably.
