Awesome! Looks like there's quite a bit of interest. So, the first thing is this - what kind of challenge interests you?

I would love to do one, and even help out!

Hi, Melanie! I updated your weight on the spreadsheet for you! I weighed in this morning at 378.4, which is a 7lb loss from last week. Finally, I feel like I've contributed to the house this week. Hope everyone else is doing well, and congrats to everyone on their losses and successes for the week. =D

I used all my votes for Jay to be in the final 3, but I think that even if he makes it, Olivia will probably take the 250K. I really really really really really REALLY want Courtney to win the At-Home prize, but if not her, I'm pulling for either Arthur, Moses, or Justin. =D

I've always been heavy, so I'm currently shooting for what makes me happiest. I really want to get down into the 140s, and then adjust from there.

I was always the shy, nerdy girl that only really hung out with a few people in high school, and I'd love to go to my high school reunion (which is still quite a few years away, but still) and show them how much I've grown and how good I look. Also, I want to show my boyfriend what looking good and feeling good is like in…

Hey, guys! I just did W2D2 yesterday, so W2D3 will have to wait until tomorrow - I took my rest day on Tuesday/Wednesday, so I gotta work extra hard tomorrow to make sure that Sunday morning's weigh in isn't a complete bust, y'know? I still struggled when doing W2D2, but it wasn't quite so bad. There were a couple of times…

I'm definitely gonna have to try this!

Did W2D1 yesterday and I struggled, just like I did with W1. But, I'm okay with that. I struggled more because of going uphill than anything. I kept moving though, and so I'm still proud of finishing. D2 tomorrow, and I'll be back to my non-hilly environment. =D

Feel free to add me! Welcome to MFP!

If you look at it like a setback, then it'll become a setback. But, if you look at all the progress you've made and are okay with giving yourself a weekend off because of how far you've come, then why worry about it? The only person who can actually tell you if this is going to be a setback for you is you. In my honest…

Way to go! I love pleasant surprises on the scale!

I have quite a few... "In the Ayer" - Flo Rida ft Will.I.Am and Fergie "You Make the Rain Fall" - Kevin Rudolf "Safety Dance" - Glee Cast Anything by Cobra Starship - "Hot Mess" is a good one to dance/run to. "Rolling in the Deep" - Adele "Jar of Hearts" - Christina Perri "I Get Off" - Halestorm And "Honest Mistake" - The…

I weigh in once a week, just because it happens to be convenient for me. Plus, I don't want to be dependent on the number on the scale - I track my progress not only in weight lost, but inches lost and how I feel as each day goes by. =D

Good Monday morning to you all! I warmed up earlier on the elliptical, and I'm gonna do C25K W2 D1 after my lunch is a little more digested. Carrie, how are you logging your C25K workouts? Just so I know and can follow your example and log mine. Thanks.

I absolutely love them. Bob and Jillian can kick your butt through the TV. I have Last Chance Workout (Jilian), Cardio Max Weight Loss (Bob), and Boot Camp (Bob). LCW and BC are the only ones that have a program that you can follow on the DVD - they tell you what part of the workout on the DVD to do for each specific day.…

I did the Biggest Loser: Last Chance Workout DVD before breakfast, went to the gym before lunch and did 30 mins elliptical and 65 minutes strength training, and here in about an hour I'm probably gonna do another TBL DVD with my friend since its too rainy outside to go for a nice walk.

Johnny Depp. Abso-frickin-lutely. HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT! I have every movie Johnny's ever been in and know more about him than I care to know about anyone else. =D I like Cary Elwes, too, though. The only thing I've ever really appreciated John Travolta in was Hairspray, and that's just cause I thought he was HILARIOUS.

A good way to get your heart pumping is to shadow box, especially if you have to sit down. Jillian Michaels always talks about how its such a great way to still get exercise in and burn calories. Just make sure you do it with good form, and you can still burn those calories. Your arms might be sore as all get out, but…

Morning, Slytherins. I had some difficulty getting back on my excellent workout routine after car trouble threw me for a loop earlier this week. I'm surprised, though, that I still managed a loss. It is a loss, though, however small it may be. I'm up early this morning, so right now is the best time for me to get back on…

I'm going to be repeating week 2 this week instead of starting week 3, since I just couldn't catch myself back up from having to deal with car issues and lack of sleep problems. D= But, I'm not giving up.

Thank you all so much for replying. I do have a fan that I sleep with, but I do so not for the noise but for the cooler air - I cannot stand when it is too hot in my room. I was born in the midst of winter, so I like it cold. I'm not a fan of warm milk - there's something about it that just doesn't really sit right with me…

Some car maintenance has altered my C25K schedule for the week, seeing as I've not been home for a few days and without my iPod. As soon as I get home today, I'm going to go to the gym, and I'll probably end up doing C25K W2 D1 LAAAATE this afternoon since its supposed to be hotter than Hades today. When did we skip…

I can definitely see a difference in your face. Way to go!

I actually asked Heather (thetigerzeye) to be my partner, and she said she would. I just got back from eating dinner, so I didn't get to see this post.

I like my selflessness, my dependability, and the fact that I am now working on making myself my number one priority in life. =D

Wow that is awesome! You go girl!

I'm so addicted to running right now - I can't wait for tomorrow to get here. Its driving me nuts!
