Hi all! I am about to confess my secret dream that I have told no one, because I'm not sure if I can accomplish it or not (fear not, nothing that jaw dropping).... I really want to do a triathlon next summer (eek! I said it!!). My biggest obstacle training wise is the running part. If I'm remembering right, sprint distance…

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

ugh, my computer just crashed with 4 comments left.... anywho... jenntarver, sew1222, yay2012, msjcooper, hungergames324 & munny_p - great work on surviving the holiday week & maintaining thru it all acmcnulty09 - I just got back to my 30 day shred workout too! (mary)mom2four - glad the goals are helping you move forward!…

Kristen - WoW! You are amazing! Another fabulous chart. Thank you for all you put into this group :0) So, after reading all the posts, I decided I needed to get my booty moving! (@bcdpearce - I had to laugh about the TOM convention - my ticket arrived this afternoon! I had this happen with college roommates - but with an…

So, got on the scale this AM & it was up a bit. Hoping that by official weigh in tomorrow it has straightened itself out! Powerjenn, Tom, Rene, Leah & Shelli - nice job on the losses this week!!! Rohima - hoping for a better week next week :) Deepa - good work maintaining during a holiday week Surferfreak - good luck…

Hi All! Back home. I love visiting my in-laws, but it will be nice to have my own bed tonight! :) I am happy I will have my scale tomorrow, so I can figure out how I managed while away. I did make the mistake of weighing in when we got home (late evening versus my usual first thing in the AM weigh in). I didn't like what I…

Hi All! Have been surviving what I think of (dietary wise) as the lion's den - we are at my in-laws for 4 days & my MIL is a great cook - and there is nothing light, low fat, etc. here. We've been spending most of our time at his Aunt's place on the water & no access to any computer/MFP there. I think I've been doing ok. I…

Mandi - great to "meet" you. Congrats on your baby! Excellent work with your weight loss results thus far. Keep up the great work :) Hugs, Amy

So So AWESOME!!! Way to go!!! I have restarted my C25K after a bad tendonitis bout this winter made me quit it - I was afraid to go back, but I have finished Week 1 & my cranky ankle seems to be hanging in. Great work!!

Great work everyone! See you on Ready to Rock it! Hugs, Amy

Emilie - great work hitting your goal!!! So so happy for you! You really rocked this challenge out! FABULOUS!

Hi Kristen, Please count me in for another round! Hoping to lose 20lbs for this challenge (ah, what a nice fall that would be!) Hugs, Amy :0)

Hi. All! Down 2.2 this week (yay)! Weigh in this week: 189.8 I don't know how to copy & paste on my iPod, so sorry for the lack of my whole chart!

I have LOVED reading everyone's NSV's. Such a great challenge filled w/positivity! My NSV's: -sticking w/this challenge start to finish -trying new things (or stuff I haven't done in awhile) like biking, trampoline park, lap swimming again, getting out for walks w/my sister -being able to consider that I maybe could do a…

Hi all, I wasn't able to read the chart the other day (had those red "x" boxes).... but I can see it today, and think I may have earned my title this week in error :( I think it's showing a 25.2 weight loss to date, and I think my actual weight loss to date this challenge is 11.8#'s. I'll PM Kristin. On another note - I'm…

Hi All - sorry this is late! I was online yesterday reading thru everyone's posts - but ran out of time & didn't get all the way up to date. CHALLENGE: Today (or as soon as you are reading this) - Plan out your next 3 days of meals & snacks. Planning ahead is the pathway to success! Good luck all :) Also, if anyone has…

Hi everyone! Thankfully I am done with the insane schedule of 40+ hours/week with 3 kids at home + hubby's 2 jobs. (God bless all the single Moms of the world & those that manage to work full time on a regular basis with little ones!!) My house was getting messy, little time for planning or exercise (let alone sleep).…

Roni - thanks for getting the chart together! Carole - Wonderful challenges! I think this next weigh in is a "mini-goal" weigh in. I'd really like to hit mine so I have to bust it out this week! Hugs to all, Amy

Have caught up on all the Monday posts. Love to see how many are still checking in here - especially on a holiday! To all the losers - thanks for the inspiration! You make me want to work harder!

Had a nice reply all typed up, then my laptop froze (it's an old hand-me-down from work, so it's losing steam). So, now typing on the itty bitty family iPod. So excited to have made the chart this week!! Wahh hoo! Kristen, thanks for all the time you put into updating that- I love seeing the new results each week. So much…

**Kristen - this is my 3rd challenge and I realized I may be filling this form out wrong - in the "Current Weight" do I put my actual current weight for the week, or my starting weight for the challenge?

Emilie - congrats on being so close to your "go home" goal. I have my 20th High School Reunion coming up this summer, so tonight I am going to count how many weeks until then & plan out some goals! Does anyone else have a special event coming up in the next few months they are striving toward being more fit & toned for?…
