    Love the challenge this week.

    I usually weigh in on Fridays and was 153 then, weighed in today and I was surprised I had lost another 0.6 pounds.

    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!

    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 didn't lose any weight this week.
    I did increase my water, I tried a new exercise (30DS)
    I was only over 1 day this week, but that was on purpose. I have decided to up my calories to try and get loosing weight again.

    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 requests :)

    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. 11910548.png

    Thank you all for posting. Reading about small triumphs and little failures has kept me motivated. You are all an inspiration. It has also made me realize that this journey we have embarked on is best taken with fellow travelers.

    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.
