    Hi everyone- and welcome welcome to all the newbies. You are at the right place and I'm so glad you have signed up for our challenge.
    Well- Saturday night out was a blast and happy to report I did not overindulge in the food. We were at a wine tasting event, so the wine- well that's a different story lol!:blushing:
    Yestreday pretty much sucked for me. I totally blew my daily allowed calories and no workout on top of that put me in a funk of dynamic levels.
    Hopped out of bed this morning and made up for yesterday with a killer workout (525 cals burned) at the gym and so far on course with my eating.

    Lesson learned- get back on that horse asap and DO NOT get on the scales after a relapse. This is when I usually throw in the towel and go "What's the point"- no way, not me, not this time. I know tomorrow will reflect today's efforts and I avoided the emotional spiral today by avoiding the dreaded scale.
    Here's to a great week everyone.
    Stay strong!
    Cheers
    Keeks

    Looks like we're right there together at the same weight. I was 186 when we started and 182 this last weigh in.
    Let's rock this and look hot in just 12 weeks.

    Wow....a lot of people have joined the challenge!!! That's AWESOME!!!!

    I've been doing well this week. I've stayed under my calories just a little....which is good for me since I was eating 3000+ calories in the beginning and I am now down to around 1500. This challenge is just what I needed!!!!

    Do you have room for one more? Please!!!! I would love to be part of your group and I love the idea of being held accountable. You guys have permission to yell at me if i slack off. My goal: I would like to feel good in my clothing and look great for my anniversary in August. I'm turning 37 in July and the closer I get to 40 the more I worry about being over weight and diabetic. The older women in my family are all over weight and diabetic so I have to change now before history repeats itself. So, Count me in!

    I would love to join this Challenge. I am getting married on Oct. 18th and my appointment to have my wedding dress altered is in the middle of August. I would love to be down twenty pounds by then so I can have my dress taken in and not feel like a big, fat slob at my wedding. I really have to get my lazy butt into gear and start exercising and eating right. I bought my wedding dress three weeks ago and I tried it on last night and it wasn't good. I couldn't zip it up all the way in the back and my arms are huge. Not to mention the backfat that was overflowing my dress. I have definitely gained some weight since I bought it due to the stress of planning the wedding and having my fiance move in with me. I have lived alone for so long, I'm not sure how to live with someone else. It is a big adjustment and I want to eat. Having to post my stats will hopefully help me keep on track.

    I would love to join also, if it's not to late. I quit smoking about 1 1/2 years ago, have done some exercising in group classes, joined a gym, heck I even trained and ran slowly in a mini marathon in May. But 'm still 20 -25 pounds heavier than I have ever been. And quite disenchanted, no actually disgusted by it all. So i am trying to get this food thing together and get back into an exercise routine, I really just need someone to be accountable to and someone to lift my spirits when I'm ready to quit.
    This thread sounds like the perfect place. You all are very motivating and inspiring. Thanks in advance:)
