Today's goals: 1. Plenty of water (and coffee) - didn't get a lot of sleep so staying away from soda will be hard today. 2. Choose a healthy lunch - may have to get fast food, but I refuse to get anything fried. 3. Sleep at least 8 hours tonight. 4. Stay positive!

Well, today I didn't have time to get my lunch ready before work. I went from an evening shift and switched to mornings so I am exhausted! Todays goals: 1. Drink plenty of water. 2. Find something healthy to eat for lunch. 3. Take a nap between jobs (working both today which is never fun!) 4. Get to bed by 11. 5. Eat under…

1. Stop being sick. 2. Drink plenty of water. 3. Come up with a new diet plan - the Whole 30 is far too restrictive for me. I want to follow something similar, but a plan that I can stick with long term. Hope everyone has a great day!

Sorry I was absent over the weeked, hope everyone had a great one! Todays goals: 1. Water only! 2. First day of Whole 30 program - Make it through the first day! 2. Go to sleep by 2300

I'm pretty proud of myself. Yesterday went well. I didn't go over calories and I drank only water all day! Todays goals: 1. Stay within calories. 2. Vacuum the house and get the dishes done. 3. If the weather holds out, take my Murphy on a walk. 4. Stay positive - I've had a rough couple days with a really bad headache.

I struggle with this too. If you know there is going to be food there, maybe you could bring an apple or another healthy snack? That way, when something is offered, you can politely decline and still eat in the social setting. Another possible solution is to plan it. Again, if you know there is going to be food, and you…

I fell short a bit yesterday, didn't get my 20 minutes in :sad: Goals for today: Stay on track with calories - working both jobs today so I need to stay focused on that. Not eating when I'm not hungry- this has been a struggle for me lately. WATER ONLY today - my sugar count was through the roof yesterday due to the sugary…

First day back on the bandwagon so my goals are a bit simple: 1. Eat within my calories allowed. 2. 20 min of low impact workout items (crunches, push ups, lunges) 3. No eating after 8 pm 4. Water only after 5 pm

Hey Friends! My name is Lara and I am 26 and will be 27 in November. I'm a born and raised Midwest girl who hates the country. I work in Law Enforcement and have some crazy hours which doesn't help with the whole 'healthy lifestyle' thing. I also recently started a second job at a sporting goods store. I've been 'heavy'…

Sorry team, I got sick yesterday and didn't get a chance to post the mini challenge. Cardio: Walk/Run/Jog 5 miles Strength: 100 reverse crunches Nutrition: Cut out one 'unhealthy' food from your diet this week. * For me, my weakness is pizza so no pizza for me this week!

How's everyone doing this week?! I feel like our thread has fizzled out a bit....

Alright team... Mini Challenge this week: Cardio- 30 mins of combat training (example: kickboxing) Strength- 100 squats Nutrition- eat at least two servings of veggies a day Let's get back in the Top 3 this week!!

Hope you start feeling better soon Nancy!!

Didn't make the top 3 this week, but that's ok! That 4 lb loss is fantastic! Great job!! Hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!

^^^ Thats a cool idea! Hope everyone is having a great Wednesday!! I got super sick last night and haven't been able to keep anything down :sad: If anything I guess I'll be able to post a loss this week. Hahaha. How's everyone doing on the mini challenge this week? Before I got sick last night I got about 80 mins of cardio…

I don't like water either! You can try infusing your water with your favorite fruit! I personally use Crystal Light packets. I know they aren't the best for you, but using them helps keep me hydrated.

I stopped tracking my minutes but just feel so unaccountable. I can tell I slacked off last week. :sad:

Count me in!!

Second place is awesome for our first week! Way to go team!!! Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! Our mini challenge for this week is: Cardio- 120 minutes (60 was way too low for most of the team so I figured we could handle doubling it this week!) Strength- 100 bow and arrows (50 each arm) Nutrition- Drink an extra 8…

My goals are at 10 pound intervals and my rewards are a wide range to include: - workout equipment - running shoes -getting hair done - skydiving -tattoo (once I hit my gial weight)

Happy Birthday Connie!!! Sounds like everyone is having a good week! I have well over my 60 mins of cardio but haven't done the curtsy lunges yet. It seems as though the mini challenge this week isn't much of a challenge for this group (at least the cardio part) so I think I will make next week's challenge a bit harder…

Ivonne, I am so sorry for your loss. Please let us know if you need anything!

I figured we could start small and 60 minutes for the week. I'm not sure what fitness level everyone is at so I don't want anyone to feel left out or like they can't accomplish the challenge. If everyone completes it easily we can crank it up next week! lifeisspiffy- way to go on the MS Walk! A friend of mine's mom was…

I am already looking forward to this! And Congrats sawjan!!

I was thinking about starting with something small and building up each week. I'll go ahead and post a challenge each week and anyone who wants to join in is more than welcome to! Be sure to post in the thread once you have completed the challenge if you choose to participate! :bigsmile: 4/6- 4/12 : Strength -- Do 100…

Hey Team! Would anyone be interested in doing mini challenges each week within the team? Just a little something to keep us motivated??

Final Check In :sad: Cardio: 275/250 Strength: 110/100 Calories: 6/6 Punishment: 3/2 Not the grand week I was looking for. I have been in a rut, but you all encourage me to do better every day. You have been such an inspiration and I don't have enough words to thank you!!

Hey Team! My name is Lara and I currently work in Law Enforcement. I think my story is similar to a lot of people's. In high school I was extremely active. I looked good (even though I didn't know it) and I felt good. My junior year I decided not to go out for the soccer team, but I still ate like I was working out 3 hours…

This is turning out to be another really rough week for me. The stress of work is becoming overwhelming. I have tomorrow off so I plan on doing a whole day of exercise. The constant rain we are getting has not helped the situation either.... it just makes me so sleepy! I have a question about the fitspo... I am not able to…

Hey Ladies!!! Can I just say that I have sincerely missed all of you this week?! It was a challenge to keep everything in check and I missed on a couple points :frown: You all rock for always making sure our team is at 100% Happy late birthday hajenkatt, I hope it was a great one :flowerforyou: I promise I will be around…
