    I'm so excited to start week 3! Having you all here has made it much more fun, and the accountability factor has gotten me up off the couch to exercise when I don't really want to.

    I'm continuing my mini-goal of no added sugar, especially to me tea. I did find a really nice tea that tastes so delish, I don't think I'd even want to add sugar. It's Good Earth Pomegranate Superfruit Tea. It is green tea with pomegranate and cherry.

    I'm adding a second mini-goal, which will spill over into February... But I have had this fitness program for the Wii - EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge. I've had it for almost 2 years, and started the challenge many times, but never have completed it. I am goig to complete it this time!

    I will say, one thing that is working for me is actually eating breakfast. I find myself less apt to snack. It's actually hard to get enough calories in. The book I'm following for my weight loss program says that really we sould be eating our largest meal at breakfast, second largest at lunch, and smallest in the evening (you know, that whole "breakfast like a king, supper like a pauper" deal). Anyway, because I generally have plenty of calories left at the end of the day, I have been treating myself to a small dish of fresh fruit with unsweetened whipped cream on top for dessert at night. =)

    Thank you, MissMyMy, for hosting this challenge!

    Hi Girls,

    Cant believe we are half way through already and I have to agree this has made me more strict on not going 'wont work out today' as I know im reporting my weight loss and jave the support of others doing the same. Week 2 was clearly a slower week than the first week so I know I will have to work harder to continue with good results.

    I thought of another mini goal for myself today and its to do more lower body toning work especially sit ups, I do alot of walking and classes so the other areas tend to sort themselves out but I only really manage sit-ups once/ twice a week. Going to change this, I have a workout dvd and thought even if I just tune into this area after a bike ride/ gym sesh 3-4 times a wk I know im doing my bit. After recently having twins my stomach is going to need alittle more help.

    Heres to a good week 3 girls and good results!!! ''GOOD LUCK''

    I can't believe that we are already into week 3! Although I haven't lost as much as I had wanted, but a loss is still a loss! This past week wasn't the best for me, got stuck going to 3 sales meetings this week and lunch and dinner were provided each day. The good news is that I didn't gain, because I thought for sure that I was going to gain weight this week.

    I've been doing ok with my mini-goal of no soda - but I need to really work on this one better! My mini goal for this week is to do 3 Turbo Jam cardio work outs and burn some major calories!

    Not looking at your diary, but how is your sodium and are you drinking at least 8 glasses of water? Sometimes it just takes a body a little time to figure out what you're doing. If you've upped your exercise your body might be saying "I gotta keep these calories around cuz it seems I may need to burn them later."

    I just added the sodium column to my diary...It was below today. I have been slacking on the water. :blushing: And yes I did up the excerise...I'll get busy on the water. :wink:

    My mini goal this week is to not add salt to my food, and also to stay strong as I'm away with work for the week!! I'm going to promise myself to do strength training each night in my hotel room, and keep my calories low as I won't be exercising as much as I have done the past 2weeks! X

    Okay, I went up a little but I blame it on water weight...and not behaving this weekend. Going to kick into high gear this week. I'm working out a lot more than I was so I'm hoping some of the gain is muscle as I'm losing fat. My pants feel better so I'm headed in the right direction. The measurements at the end of the month will tell the real story.

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Whats worked for me this week has been bircher muesli. It tastes soooooo good and is very filling so I am not hungry at all till lunch.

    I've been using:
    1/2 cup fruit and nut muesli
    1/4 cup yoghurt (any flavor but strawberry was delish)
    1/4 cup apple and mango juice
    Mix, cover and put in the fridge overnight or longer.
    Then add 30mls of milk cause I don't like it super thick and fruit, whatever I feel like on the day but mostly blueberries, strawberries or banana.

    SW 300lbs
    Wk 1 - 7th ~ 295lbs
    Wk 2 - 14th ~ 293lbs
    Wk 3 - 21st ~ 291lbs

    Kinda late checking in for wk 3, was kind of disapointed in myself, had a very stressful week,my son fell though a glass table and had to tend to his cuts and bruises(he has now healed nicely) then daughter came home from drama practice with a twisted ankle and wrist :/ Very upset girl who can not perform with her cheer squad for a while. Then crazy calls from step daughter in law that CPS was taking their kids and wanted me to take them.Love my grandkids but really not wanted to raise them (ages 8mo & 19mo) Stressed me out for 2 days thinking about it. Had soda and chocolate..... Have to learn to deal with my stress better :/ So I think I am finally back on track and headed in the right direction. Gonna surf message boards to get some motivation.
