I love this challenge and I really encourage everyone to join us! I've done two of them and between both of them I've lost 40 pounds (yipes!) It's helped me look at my goals in a different way and a more fun way because it just shakes everything up. Sometimes weight loss is spurred by changing what we're doing and this…

This is such an amazing challenge. I've done it twice and this last one really helped kick something into motion. It's an amazing group of people and an amazing challenge!

My secretary asked me what I was doing to lose weight the other day!

@Ceriusly1 well that explains why no one else's were posted, I am lost! haha, thanks

Saturday Exercise: 30 Journaling: 10 Meet the Cheerleaders: 10 Healthy Habit Focus: (water goals) 10 Measurements: 15

I'm liking the journaling challenge. I used to journal a lot, so this is bringing me back.

got it! I agree!

I follow my macros. But I am going to try to leave food on my plate, which I have a problem doing.

1. Exercise at least 5 days per week (even it's minimal.) 2. Drink my water daily.

I really need to be more mindful. That means: 1. Pay attention to the quantity of food I'm eating. 2. Find ways to exercise even if it's just a few minutes.

I'd like to join this team again :)

I have not been great this week. Next week I have a meal plan developed that incorporates many more veggies into the main part of my meal as opposed to a side and I think that will help. Fruit is easier for me.

great first week!

I love decluttering! If you have a facebook, look into your community's Buy Nothing groups. It's a great way to get rid of things taking up space in your house but still have too much life left for the garbage.

It's been hot as hell all week (Southern CA) and finally started cooling off today. I'm actually really looking forward to some evening walks next week.

@Dianedoessmiles1I live in Joshua Tree CA. While we do get snow in the desert in the winter, it usually shifts drastically from hot hot hot to snow. It's 77 right now at 9:30 at night. The high today was 89, which is pretty cool actually. This past Saturday it was 104. I could use some 54 degrees!

@Dianedoessmiles1 I'm with the Rain Dancers! And the name couldn't be more perfect because I am hoping for some rain in this hot-*kitten* desert I live in.

Good morning from California! I am very excited to officially start this next week. I need a kick in the butt.

Appointments set

I will weigh once a week and measure again at the end of the challenge. All my stats are updated!

I eat when I'm stressed. I don't really snack, but I will binge eat when I'm stressed or when I'm tired. I need to find another outlet to those feelings - yoga, meditation?

1. I will walk with my toddler and dog 3-4 days a week. The temperature is finally coming down so we can appreciate the outdoors a bit more. 2. Go the gym at least twice a week (Saturday and Sunday mornings.) 3. Plant many flowers walking with Pikmin Bloom.
