    I'm a bit confused, sorry.
    Does our week of cardio end Thursday or Friday? Because we weigh in tomorrow, I thought it would end tonight. In the very first post, it mentions posting our cardio with our weigh in tomorrow.
    Can someone let me know?
    Look at that, my first challenge and I am already confused. :laugh:

    No worries!! The new week starts Saturday morning. We finish up and weigh in tomorrow! Good luck and we are glad to have you in the challenge!

    I disagree...it runs from Friday to Thursday and Friday morning we will get our new weeks challenge. Not Friday to Friday. :happy:

    I logged 285 minutes of cardio this week, which is a lot more than I planned. I'm really happy about that, but I only lost 1 pound. :ohwell:

    Start Weight: 132.4
    Week 1 End Weight: 131.4

    I guess I can handle a pound/week!

    Good luck everyone! :smile:

    If we are logging today, I'll go ahead and log based on my weight last night. I won't be able to weigh myself today bc I use the gym's digital scale and I'll be missing today.

    Last week: 136.
    Yesterday: 135

    I'll admit I've been checking daily, which I know is wrong. I'm disappointed because it had been saying closer to 133 all week. At least I am feeling better and people are starting to notice progress even if the scale says no.

    I logged 143 cardio minutes. Not very impressive compared to others, but i'm OK with that.

    Well I weighed in and gained 1.5 lbs but I think it is water weight...

    if you gained weight this week... DO NOT STRESS, sometimes when you start changing your routine, that tends to happen... stay on the brighter side of things and watch some of the following things:
    1. Sodium intake
    2. Dehydration/Water Intake
    3. For females TOM
    4. Measurements

    Sometimes, you may gain on the scale but come to find out, you are gaining muscles....

    As for the challenge... It runs from Friday-Thursday and weigh in is Friday and you get your new challenge TODAY! I am lagging only because I am moving at this moment but, I will have the new thread posted in about 3 minutes! Keep up the hard work!!!! Great job everyone! Keep chuggin along and work hard! beat adversity!

    I weighted in at 209, which is up, but I'm not going to let it get me frustrated.

    I did about 150 minutes of cardio, which doesn't include housecleaning ( I make it as hard as possible!) and a field trip to the zoo with my first grader.

    Start weight: 157
    Today's weight: 156

    Down only a pound but I'll take it! Especially since i didn't get nearly as much cardio in as i wanted b/c of the crappy weather we've been having lately. And i still don't have my treadmill :grumble: Hopefully this week!
