    I saw in someone's post something about a water challenge? What was that - I have a hard time drinking all the water I need...

    Hi Steph, best of luck to you on your last final tomorrow. It's hard to study when you're sick. Ugh! I hope you did well on your tests today.

    Earlier this week we had a water challenge day, trying to drink our entire 64 ounces. It was difficult, but making it a challenge really helped me get back on track to drink my water every day. That's what makes these little challenges so great. I hope they help you, too. Feel free to post an idea!

    Thanks so much for your nice comments on the challenge chart. It's pretty LOUD, so you can't miss it! Easier, too when it ends up on the top of a page. I admit that I went a little crazy with the graphics. If I get a little space, I usually fill it up!

    Hello everyone! Sorry this is so late, I had finals today and forgot to weigh in. My initial weight was 191, Im now up to 191.5. Im not sure what the problem is but hopefully I can get some weight off before the end of the challenge. Ive been faithful to my calorie count, exercise, water intake and lowering my pop consumtion so I have no idea what the issue is but Ill keep up the good work and look forward to benefits soon! Plus the rest of my finals are due tomorrow so after that I will be more available to workout! I cant wait!

    Great work on all those who lost and dont worry to all those who maintained or gained. We can all do this, it may just take some of us longer but we will stick it out till the end!

    Thank you!! That's the best lookin bag of flour I've ever seen =P

    Good luck to everyone on their finals! I always hated that time of year, but at least it's almost over, yea? =)

    Verda- where DO you live?? Just curious, so I know where I need to stay away from. I'm definitely more a summer girl, my immune system hates cold weather =P

    GOOD LUCK to everyone to saying NO today!! I've already had to tell myself to step away from the fudge pan.. it was hard >.<

    Good Morning all!!!!!

    So, I am still sore. Sitting down, hurts. Standing up, hurts. Being, hurts. I did though do my 100-200-200 this morning. My muscles are feeling that burn. I didn't even know I had abs under all this chub, but let me tell you, they are announcing thier existance painfully. :happy:

    I know today is the "Just say No" Challenge, but I had a "Just say No" moment last night. Being a long night, my husband and I decided to go to Dennys for dinner. I did all the proper research regarding what was within my calorie range, etc. Ordered a Grilled Chicken Salad. I was excited. Low and Behold the waitress brings out a FRIED chicken salad.

    I love chicken strips - from ANYWHERE! They are one of my preferred food. This looked SOOO good. I thought "How can I make this work for me?" I considered exercising like crazy when I get home at 11pm. My husband looked at me and said "Do you WANT to exercise at 11pm?" I said "No" and that was it. I gave the plate to the waitress and patiently waited for my grilled chicken salad!!

    WOOT ME! That was a GREAT salad too!!

    Kelynn - I am sad to see you in the position you are in, but you have to do what you have to do, you are lucky that your "have to do" involves pizza and favorite foods :) You definately wont loose friends here, and we will be here for you the whole way, regardless of the results. Glad you plan to stick with the thread even if you can't be as active as you'd like, I am sure we all look forward to keeping you here :) I will be praying for you!

    Hello all. I know that I'm rather late, but I would love to join this group. I am all about setting many goals, and you guys seem to have a lot of fun. I am challenging myself with what I call 12 days of christmas--it consists of me drinking water only and exercising at least 30 minutes daily until Xmas, no cookies or candies (my favorites either). If I may join, should I wait until the new challenge starts in Jan, so I don't complicate things?

    Hi Jitteryspork .. what is this 100-200-200 deal you are talking about? Was it one of the daily challenges? I am intrigued!

    Anyhow, whatever it is I think i will need to do it 5 times tonight because I have to admit to you all ... I had McDonalds for lunch.

    And no, nothing off their healthy menu but a flat out chicken nugget combo with fries.

    Not sure why I did it, I think i didn't eat enough this morning and I was starving when lunch rolled around so when my hubby drove by it I was like a horse with blinders on. I had to have it! SIGH.

    Anyways I will be back on track for supper tonight (egg whites it is) so although I will have majorly exceeded my calories today I hope I see another loss at next Tuesdays weight ins! I will have to exercise like a mad woman this weekend as I also have my Xmas staff party tomorrow night.

    It's a hard time of year to be disciplined HAHA

    OK So welcome to The Wacky World of Cheryl's Metabolism: I weighed this morning and I was down to 248.8 ... overall a pound loss for a week-and-a-day ... does that count? :bigsmile:

    THIS is why I weight ever day to every other day: The way my body reacts, I need to keep tabs on it!
