Good Morning everyone, scrolling through and seeing all of the success is such great motivation! This week I am weighing in at 146lbs - 1lb down! :happy: I did really well with drinking 2 more cups of water and not so well on staying below my calorie goals (4 days under). I tried out a few new moves from the Tone It Up workout plan, my favorite was the Rainbow Side Crunch. I look forward to this weeks challenges, especially seeing all of the recipes. Here's to another good week!0

The scale didn't move as much as I wanted it to this week. I also was super hungry and had a hard time staying under my daily calories. I'm looking forward to the challenges of the coming week... Cardio 4 days this week and increasing fruits and vegetables. Great job to everyone else!

I was actually pretty diligent about exercise, did almost every day. New exercise is elliptical. I don't know if I got enough water, tried at least to drink more. The problem I had was staying under calories. I was pretty good most of the week until two days ago. I just wanted to eat a lot, or I didn't track my calories because I knew I'd be over and I felt bad. That's frustrating, and it's going to be my biggest hurdle to overcome and lose the weight. Well a loss is a loss, so I'm at least happy I lost a pound.
Also, I'm going to beg for friend requests0 -
Wow. Thought I replied to this, guess not. Hope its not too late.
How often do you post challenges? I just started 30 DS today after a 1 1/2 week rest from P90X. I loved it but was so worn out at the end of the week after 5 days of it. Plus it was hard for me to get in 1 full hr straight.
I do good with my eating and water, I need major motivation to exercise.

I would also like to join this challenge. I am feeling so good and burn most of my fuel doing farm work on my farm. I need to focus of water intake because when I feel like snacking its generally because I am thirsty.
This week, I signed up for a tribal fusion belly dance class and am really looking forward to it. Belly dance is awesome! I have seen lots of woman of all shapes and sizes do it, and I hope to gain more confidence of my body while getting in touch with my inner goddess and sexuality.

I did okay with the water most days. I added a new exercise. I did okay with my calories until the weekend when I didn't track. I had a graduation party at my house so tracking kind of fell by the wayside.0
