This is the start of Week 2. How did everyone do during week 1? What are your plans for Week 2? Have you been exercising, or is this the start?

I used to hate exercise. Now, I feel weird if I don't get something in. It has been a life saver over the last year and a half - going through a divorce is when I gained some of my weight back, but I was still at the gym everyday. If I hadn't of been I would have been in a very good condition. Great stress reliever!!!!

    7/7 for the challenge. Alas, no weight loss so I'm actually not sure if I'm still in the competition. Not sure how elliminations are conducted here :/. Hope I'm around to chear everyone on!!

    Sounds like the gym has been a bit of a lifesaver for you. I know that MFP has been super supportive for me. I'm totally addicted and wouldn't be doing near as well on my weight loss if I hadn't joined. I love this place! And of course the gym now too. I'm even learning to love running! Imagine that!

    Motivation wise I am doing great. 6/7 last week. I need to up my exercise so this weeks challenge is just what I needed. I actually gained weight last week, hope I don't get the boot! One day over and 3 days later the scale has not budged. I am thinking that some big workouts and lots of water will get be back on thr downward slide! Spring weather makes it so much easier to get outside!

    How is everyone else? Is this challenge a breeze for most of you?

    I have been getting up early each morning to spend 30 minutes on the treadmill before work. Last week I upped it to 45 minutes each morning. I have noticed it gives me energy, calm and clarity to face the day ahead. I also take a Pilates class tuesday and Thursday night. I am surprised by how much I am enjoying it. I usually go for a cardio class because I like to sweat. This is a different kind of work out and I am seeing results.

    Good luck to everyone this week!

    7/7 for the challenge this week. 2 lbs down. This week I will recommit myself to exercise, I am really one of those people who think of exercise like drinking Cod Liver Oil ...:noway: ..Yuck! But for the sake of my health and team I will make it my business to walk, turbo jam, taebo, hip hop abs or whatever dvd I have to try to keep me motivated and interested. This Challenge is going to be a rough one.

    I was 7/7 and even more exciting after having the scale not more an ounce for three weeks I went down 1.8. So a good start to the overall challenge! I've been wicked busy at work this week, but I've already called up friends and made plans to get outside for the entire weekend so I should be able to complete the 150 and then some! The warmer weather is definitely motivating.

    Keep it up Black Team!

    LOL Depending on what kind of cleaning, it counts. By the time I get done doing the floors I look like I was at the gym! Two dogs make it interesting sometimes!

    I really need to mow, but...... hoping it's gonna rain!
