    Hi Team amazing_grace!

    Excited to be here and get started today!! I'd love to "friend" all of you so we can encourage and support each other.

    I'm Victoria and I'm 33. I've struggled with losing and gaining the same weight for YEARS. and I am over it. This is my new beginning!

    I have an acupuncture appointment this morning and a meeting at 12 so this afternoon I will put in my exercise time!

    Well...Here we go!

    Im Bethany. 28 year old stay at home mom to a 5 and 1 year old. I am so thankful for challenges to push me! I have fallen off the wagon for the last couple months and have seen my weight go up 8lbs and back over the 200 mark which is pretty upsetting and defeating feeling. We are going on a mini vacation at Memorial Day and I would definitely like to have at least those 8lbs back off!

    THANK YOU :flowerforyou: to Teresa for being our fearless leader and organizing this great challenge.

    That's awesome Sara -- isn't it funny how we can find the time when something motivates us lol!

    Congrats on the upcoming marriage -- My 15 year anniversary is September 13th!

    I hear you on that one!
    So far today I did a 15 minute swim while my kids had lessons this morning. I am going to walk to pick up my daughter from kindergarten this afternoon (I hope when I track the walk it is at least a mile).

    Good luck everyone. I am really excited to get started!

    sara I'm a teacher too! that's awesome you squeezed in exercise. I need every second of spare time at work to get things done off the never-ending list but I have been trying to walk laps on the track around our field at recess time! It helps to keep tabs on the kids better too, walking all around where they are playing.

    we're on spring break this week. YAY!

    congrats on your engagement!

    I am super impressed with those of you with kids fitting exercise in. I don't have kids and seem to have to juggle to get it all done most days.

    dorie way to go with your 4 miles done already!

    with tracking my water closely today I'm realizing that I am really not drinking enough. I definitely need to work on that. I'm at 5 cups.

    I walked a mile towards my "evening walk" challenge so far today!

    I hope everyone is having a great first day. I feel really good about mine. I am under calories for the day and drank 12 glasses of water. I swam, walked to pick my daughter up from school, did aerobic pilates, and finished the challenge for the day. I am feeling really motivated now, and I wasn't at all a few days ago.

    I hear ya! Usually, I have just enough time to make some copies, check in with a student who's falling behind, and prep materials for my next class before my precious 39 minutes are up. But today I decided to do my copies first thing in the morning, so I used about 8 minutes to do the exercises. :)

    Enjoy your break!

    Water, walking, decent food choices, challenge exercises... as well as some free weights and gardening. I hope I can stay this focused...it is easy when you focus on each aspect of what "works".

    So is it correct that we post ALL of our point-gaining achievements on this thread?

    Day 1 - (4-2-12)

    Water - Daily total, 15 glasses
    Daily Workout - DONE
    Miles Walked - Total - 6
    Under Calorie Goal - DONE

    I am SOOO excited to say that I have achieved this today! It has been a very difficult day for me physically and I didn't want to get on here until I got all of this done. I am excited about what will be accomplished through this challenge! :)

    Day 1 is almost finished! About to eat dinner, but I entered it already into my diary, so I'm good to go!

    under calorie goal--check!
    workout--check! lifted weights in addition to the Challengers level exercises
    water---made myself drink 12 cups! My oh my!
    miles--none today. I walked 3 and ran 3 yesterday, so I entered those as today.

    Exercise Challenges - YES!
    Water- 12 cups
    Under calorie goal today - YES!
    Walking Challenge: 4 miles
    Burned 507 calories: 32500-507= 31993 to go!

    Everyone did so good today! Congrats on such a great first day! Let's keep it going!

    I NEVER drink that much water -- I am proud that I got it all in -- I usually only do 6 glasses. It does make me full to help keep under calorie goal! Now let's hope I am not up all night running to the bathroom -- hmmm, I could count that towards my walking miles lol, just kidding :smile:
