    Ok, so I was able to get outside for a run/walk (but mostly run!!) for 30 mins. I have not run since softball in high school! HUGE accomplishment for me! I got in a 1 liter bottle of water (still haven't done the conversion to oz) and plan on having a couple more glasses tonight. Hope all this hard work shows up on the scale this week!

    I have to admit it. I'm not tracking my water and I don't think I'm really drinking what I should. I was out of town for a couple of days and slipped up on food, too, although I did still run.

    Just wanted to own up to being a slacker.

    This week went by so fast! Weigh-in time tomorrow already - YIKES! I didn't lose last week, so I am hoping to see a few less pounds when I get on the scale tomorrow morning . . . .

    I've done great with cardio and water this week . . . thanks to all for helping to keep me motivated!

    Good luck with the last day of week 2!!!!

    Definitely not back up to my usual activity levels, but at least I got back to the gym this a.m. and finally weighed in (never got there at all last week to do it). I'm up 1.4 lbs, but that's pretty darn good considering the sloth that has been my life. Got 35 min on the treadmill and 33 min on the elliptical, and will aim for the same tomorrow!

    Bad week for me.... I actually gained 2 lbs this week... really bad week, but I have since lost 1 lbs... So, I actually only gained 1 lb this week... I am keeping my goal of 183 for may 31st though... I think I can do it... my current weight is 186. I have done awful on my water intake and also exercise this week.... I'm starting fresh on Monday and hopefully next week I will feel better about myself!!! Hope everyone else did better!!!

    Well, I only lost .3 lbs this week, but I did lose 1/2 inch around the waist and 1 1/2 inches around the hips, so that's something!

    I have been strict on the diet, exercise, and water, too -- I logged 370 cardio minutes this week and have had 90+ ounces of water daily.

    I think I've hit a bit of a plateau since I don't have much left to lose . . . I am hoping that I'll continue to lose inches and see toning progress . . . .

    I gained .4 of a lb this week. But I know its water weight because earlier this week I went up 5lbs and am now back down. My cardio and water sucked this week!!!! I'm going to try this challenge again next week so I can do better.

    Well, I lost 2.7 pounds this week. I have NO idea how that happened because I haven't worked out since Monday & definitely didn't drink much water at all. :ohwell: I did eat really good this week, so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

    Starting Weight for Week 3: 128.7

    Good luck everyone! :smile:
