    Thinking that my 'goal' weight is slightly ambitious! Have been doing all the right things and my body shape is definitely changing but the scale didn't change as much as I expected. Hey ho
    If you have set that as a goal, it's never too ambitious. Just do it. :) You are doing awesome. So many people say my body shape is looking so different, but the scale is teetering. :) Just keep it up, don't pay attention to the numbers just yet.

    ... so with her help, I talked myself into going to the gym because the only person I'm punishing by not going is myself. Nothing is going to change unless I MAKE it change. So I did W5 D2 of C25K today and did two separate 8 minute jogs and I feel damn good about it. Now I just fear the TWENTY MINUTE jog the program wants me to do on Wednesday. EEP! But I am strong and I will power through.

    Great job reaching out for support & wonderful attitude!!!

    What an impressive start as a group. Congrats to those with lower weights and to those who've maintained. For those in the group with me who've had a slight setback let's keep motivated and know that one weigh in won't break us. One week at a time!:bigsmile:

    Congrats everybody ... you all did a great job ... I am so surprised that I didn't gain as was my birthday and so was over indulging for a couple of days ... although I did do a 6km mud run so that probably helped make up for it ... back into the hard slog this week though.

    Have a good week everybody

    I am so proud of everyone. Let's stay motivated and supporting one another. 93.3 lbs lost as a group is amazing. I took my water up from around 12 glasses a day to 18-20 glasses a day. I didn't get as much exercise as I wanted this past week, but this 2nd week will definitely be better. Once again so proud of us, and let's keep it up. :)

    I guess if I was going to have a bad eating day, today was the day to do it. UGH!! I seem to do just great until dinner time.. then I feel like I want to eat all night long. If only I could go to bed at 5:00 PM! :)

    Trying to keep a positive attitude and tell myself that if I do well Tuesday through Sunday, I WILL be rewarded come Monday morning! Yes, that's what I'm going to repeat to myself all week long. This challenge is going to be a great one, I can just tell. So many participants, so many talkers, and such an awesome chart! Thanks, Kristen!

    Hoping everyone has a terrific Tuesday!! And to my fellow challenge participants that might have blown it today, let's get on the program tomorrow and make it a great day!

    Hope everyone has a great week. I appreciate this group and all who are participating in it. :)

    Last week, I prelogged my meals (just one at a time), and this really helped me to know when to make adjustments _before_ I ate rather than being surprised or bummed _after_ my meal. Does anyone else find this helpful?

    I'd love to hear about your little and big strategies that help keep you on track and resilient, everyone. I'm sure I have a lot to learn. :D

    p.s. Thanks, Kristen, for organizing all the data for us. :)

    Beatrixia - "Last week, I prelogged my meals (just one at a time), and this really helped me to know when to make adjustments _before_ I ate rather than being surprised or bummed _after_ my meal."

    What a great idea! I am a natural planner so it shocks me that I haven't actually done this yet. Will give a try and see how it works for me.

    Thanks for the tip!

    I wanted to say a big CONGRATS to all that had a loss this week and to all those still pushing through and sticking with the challenge with a great attitude. Almost 100lbs lost in a week is amazing, we will surely exceed the amount we lost in the last challenge if we keep up this pace.

    This week is my first week of Level 3 of 30 Day Shred, I skipped my last 2 days of level 2 last week. I am going to finish this program out strong. I've already gotten stronger as I started doing the traveling push ups yesterday on my toes and not my knees, without even realizing it.

    Good luck to everyone this week!

    @mandamommy3-

    I finished level 2 before I went on vacation last week and can't decide if I should go for level 3 or start over again. Good job pushing through. So many people say how amazing they feel once they finish. I have to get there!

    I am impressed with the group's loss of almost 94 pounds! I know we will keep it up. I finally lost more than just a fraction of a pound in a week! I plan on increasing my exercise this week to hopefully see this trend continue!

    Congratulations to everyone who lost, stayed the same, or kept a positive attitude even if the scale went up a little. Just remember - every day is a new beginning - really! Keep strong, remain positive, keep reaching for your goals! We can do it!

    CONGRATULATIONS !! to all the losers and soon to be losers. :bigsmile:

    AmyByExample: :heart: Thanks for the kind words, I just have to start saying no or keeping my
    fingers out of the appetizers. Our regular meals are pretty healthy but the snacks are
    the killer. Its a long summer for me to try and lose weight. I will make some changes
    again. I started Pilates classes this month so I hope that helps.

    Good Luck everyone on your next week's weigh in.

    Shirley
