    Good morning ladies!
    Great work so far, week 2 looking awesome!

    Had my dietician appointment and I'm back with a vengeance and I'm on the water and exercise tonight. Today is the day I jump back in the boat and row myself to victory, no more excuses, time for action. This fat has got to go!!

    Not done any of the mini goal this week so going to work in extra each day and feedback here using Kassie's format cos I love it!
    Don't stop going, you have it all in you to succeed!

    Also my scale broke so until I can fork out for another I may miss a weigh in or 2, boo! At least my paranoia that I could be gaining will push me even more to work out. Haha!

    Ramble over. Have a wonderful day!

    Just checking in....
    I started Tae bo today and I incorporating the push ups and squats into my workout. My knees hurt but yet I press. Drinking 100 oz of water a day is easy peasy for me cuz I love water!
    I have however been having trouble control my sodium intake this week, I hope it doesn't mess with my weigh in on Sunday. Best wishes to eveyone....

    Serene...your motivation will return, at least it better :wink: You are doing awesome! I think a great idea for you and all of the ladies would be a reward system! It helps me out so much. I set goals (realistic goals) and a reward for each goal when met! Give it a try!

    Day :11...I'm trying out new things!
    Water Intake: 96 oz
    Workout: Alternate Day...15 minutes Curve Smart 134 calories burnt
    Calorie intake: 796 out of 1374...my diary notes will explain the lack of food!
    Carb Intake: 30 out of 69 :smile:

    Good afternoon ladies!

    Weigh in today although my official weigh in is Saturday morning I do an extra for the challenge.

    Serene Rose
    Current Weight: 228.6 (yesterday was 228.8)
    Goal Weight: 220
    Loss so far: 5
    Personal Goal: I am still flopping on the water so i'm going to take a tip one of friends suggested which is to mix into with no added sugar Robinsons fruit squash, it's basically 7cals a glass. Exercise, well i've re-joined the gym but thats as far as i've got, i'm still in that lazy zone but plan to go back Monday.

    P.S
    Also going to begin a modified version of Paleo, i'm trying to cut processed carbs but my no.1 love is potato fried, baked etc so this is going to be tough but going to try and live off protein, vegetables and minimal carbs.

    Welcome to the 3rd week of this challenge!

    They say it takes 21 days to change a habit and I feel that all of us if not already there are definitely getting there.

    Mini Challenge:
    1) Cannot stress enough the water 64oz or more (All of you got this down anyway)

    2) Walk/Jog an extra mile 4x this week
    or
    Incorporate a fav exercise into the mix for one extra hour 4x this week

    Good luck and have fun :smile:

    Great job Serene! I am on a modified version of Paleo/Primal, and I am loving the results. It is hard, I have to admit, to stay away from potato carbs! :ohwell: I do my best and I know you will as well!
    :heart: Keep up the great work!

    Not the best week. I started a new job that has me drained by the time I get home so exercise is the last thing on my mind. Hopefully, once I get used to this I will be able to incorporate more exercise.

    Thanks, it helps me keep everything straight in my mind on what I am trying to accomplish..

    I am really hoping for 3 more 4 pound weight loss weeks before the end of the year. That would take me to under 200 before the new year.

    I definitely need to get my water up too.

    sorry guys, i'm bringing down the overall stats. i'm not sure why i gained but i figure in the end it doesn't really matter. it just means i need to get back in the saddle and work harder.

    You are not bringing down the stats to me your making progress and I bet you'll have a double loss by next weigh in.
    Hope my ladies are doing well, just checking in on the gang.

    I'm quite pleased because I know I've finally got back on track with the exercise side of this and getting my water up the nutrition part an improvement although could be better but at least I'm logging consistently now. Had a down day but its only pushed me harder and now a nsv that I can jog in intervals for short bursts do I'm chuffed :happy:

    Looking forward to Sunday and good luck.
