    CONGRATS to all of the winners and those who lost weight or inches or put some good effort in to the challenge! I had a good week with my exercise, but have been having trouble with snacks. I talked to my trainer on Saturday and she gave me some ideas which i will try this week.....I'm hoping to have a great week and wish everyone the same:-)

    Still can't believe i lost this much, we'll see how this week goes for me but here are your challenges!! :)

    The first is to everyday take at least 30 minutes to do something you enjoy that helps us to de-stress, one main reason i gained weight was because I never took any time for myself. Even if this is an extra half hour of sleep each morning or eating at the dinner table with your family. Just try to take 30 minutes and do something that truly makes you happy. Mine today was playing just two holes of golf, while I was coaching! :)

    Secondly I challenge everyone to try one new exercise this week. If you are a cardio person do a little weight lifting. If you don't like running try it, its getting nice outside, or maybe try a class at the gym!!!

    Good Luck everyone!!!!

    Hi Kristen (and everyone):

    I regret that I must withdraw from this challenge. I am currently somewhat overwhelmed with schoolwork (taking two college classes in addition to working full-time). It's all I can do to maintain right now, at least until this semester is over. I wish everyone continued success, and hope to be in a better place for the next challenge. Think Thin!!

    Is it too late to log in? I weighed myself in the morning but forgot to post on this thread :(

    Name/ real name: Claire

    Current Weight: 170
    Challenge Goal Weight: 150 [20 pound loss in 12 weeks]

    04/09: 172.9
    04/16: 168.9
    04/23: 172.1
    04/30: 169.2

    06/25:
    07/02: <<<150>>>

    Honestly speaking, I haven't been logging/exercising at all. So I'm not surprised - well, I'm surprised I haven't gained more. Chances of reaching my goal looks bleak at this pace, but I have lost more in a shorter amount of time (25 pounds in about 8-10 weeks). I just need to get motivated and reject desires to eat freely. Also the fact that I don't seem to be able to lose much weight now even when I *am* logging/exercising is discouraging, because I don't seem to gain back very much when I'm not logging. I just need to get more motivated...

    I am loving the challenges this week! I'm staying away from the gym (been feeling so sore, struggling to sleep and feeling run down so possibly overtraining) so this fits in perfectly.
    Great losses this week guys I'm so proud to be in this group everyone is so supportive! I have a job interview this week (soooo scared) so I'm going to try not to get too stressed and binge on food! Good luck everyone :D

    I like the challenges this week. The hard one for me will be the 30 minutes of me time. I'm normally running around trying to get things done around the house after my daughter goes to bed. Does it still count if I try reading for 30 minutes before bed and fall asleep??

    The little chart win was a great motivator for me. I got my act together this morning and went out for a walk before I took my daughter to day care. Hopefully there will be several more of those this week.

    Congratulations all the Winners!!:drinker:

    I will easily do the 30 mins for myself since I am retired. :tongue:

    But some meditation which I don't do might help.

    Until next week, Good Luck !!

    of course 30 minutes of reading to put you to sleep, that sound like a great de-stress tactic!! good for you!!

    Love the challenges, I'm taking 30 mins tonight hopefully to dye my hair (going grey at 26 is no fun, lol) and I think I'll try to include some more yoga into my workouts this week.

    Way to go everyone on your losses!

    Hi everyone! Love the challenges for this week. Taking the 30 minutes especially as I am working 9-10 hour days this week, and hubby is 2 nights at his 2nd job. So add in the 2 dogs & 3 kiddos, and balance is tricky this week!!

    iPod battery is about to go, but wanted to let everyone know I'm rooting for you!!

    Hugs,
    Amy

    Ok I can do this challenge. I have a lot of exercise DVDs that I've bought over the year that I've yet to remove the plastic off of. Now the me time is a given. I'm doing that right now :p

    I've been changing up my exercise routine, lately, not only doing my cardio, but doing more circuit-training and ab junk. Running is still out of the question because of the weather here, as is the gym (I can barely pay my rent!).

    Also, 30 minutes to de-stress sounds like a marvelous idea. Today, I fixed a pair of (formerly) too small jeans while watching trashy-cop-shows, and pulled them on. I'll be wearing them to school tomorrow. :) It seemed to help.
