    Hi all
    Here's my Friday stats

    Week 5 6/26 183lbs
    Week 6 7/3 182lbs Workouts all cardio 200mins.

    Lost 1 lb but do feel like I'm back on track with the start of a new month. Why is that always such a cleansing feeling?
    Am I EVER going to break into the 170's????:sad: :sad: :sad:
    2 lbs away and I feel as though I may as well be 50.
    Maybe the word "Cleanse" should be a hint and that's what I need to do to get a jumpstart into the 70's. anyone have any luck with a product or recipe?
    Good luck out there today:heart: .

    Hi everyone and thank you for updating your stats this week.
    I did post a notice on 6/26 that I wanted to move our thread under the Motivation Board as it's coming up under Introduce yourself and seems a little redundant seeing as we're heading into week 8 of our challenge and not exactly newbies anymore.

    If it's not too much trouble can you please repost your stats under the other header- thank you and so sorry if this is confusing...:flowerforyou:

    Candace- I hear you. A LOT have dropped out of this challenge but who cares. We're in it for the long haul and that says a ton about our drive and commitment!
    I had an horrific week- a disgusting GAIN of 4 lbs and that's all I shall say on that subject. I'm still here and as we do this by the honor code I had to erase my initial entry of a 5lb loss (lol) and stay true to myself and our group even as I hang my head in shame.:embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:
    So....I'll talk to you all under this header in the Motivations Board!!!

    A new year and a new challenge. I am up for this. Like you I have gainned weight and have been slowly losing but my better half is forever asking me to go out for dinner and 2 drinks later I am eating and this does not work. So today, I am going to be faithful to myself and not let anyone deter my efforts.

    Even though I started today, I didn't take my weight but I did get weighed on Saturday at Jenny Craig, but I will post my info this Friday.

    Age: 58
    Starting weight:162
    Currant weight:160
    Goal weight:130
    Days/minutes of exercise : 30 min today

    Keep motivated and track everything
