Hey ladies. I completely dislocated my shoulder this morning. I will find out tomorrow if I have to have surgery. :-( my mobility is rather limited for at least 10 days. I think I will need to drop out of the challenge. I will still be on mfp so say hi and I will keep up with your progress as well. Keep up the good work!!!!

I am going to ask for volunteers this week for the challenges so please copy and past this as you fill it out, I need a person or pair to come up with each part of next weeks challenge. Cardio: Strength: Food: Emotional: Louana Points for today strength-3 Logging-1 protein-1

Karie, I usually workout right after I put my kids to bed...That way I have time for my body to cool down and relax before I go to bed. If I knew I would do it, I would get up early and workout in the morning, but I am the farthest thing from a morning person and I don't get up until I absolutely have no choice. You can…

Emotional Challenge I have a very up and down relationship with the scale..no pun intended lol. :-) Sometimes when I see that I've gained weight I feel more motivation to do better. There are other times when I gain weight that I just feel like giving up. I can't really say what will happen when I do....So until recently,…

I can relate to the celebrate with food bit. I'd feel like "hey I'm doing awesome, one day won't hurt." and sometimes that one day would turn into two or three or more days and then all my work was out the door. I agree, that it is about feeling good and healthy and strong. Sometimes I lose focus on that so it's nice to…

My oldest son brought his knect from his dad's house one day, and he was playing volleyball on it....BUT the poor kid is so tall that when he went to go spike the ball he hit the ceiling fan! I had a good laugh. I am glad you had a great day!!

Well, I got my strength point for today and dancing and logging cals....did not meet the protein today, but that's okay. Tomorrow is another hiking day and grading writing....woo. :-)

I was feeling that way this morning! I really wanted to hop on the scale. :-) We can resist! On another note, I apologize for being MIA the past couple days. It's getting to report card time and I am so busy and TIRED! I will update my points and stuff, but so far this week has ben going really well!

Question about the logging cals part. Do you mean we are logging our total cals eaten or burned?

congrats on meeting your first mini goal!!

I have my daddy's desktop now. so I will be able to post more often. Hopefully soon I'll be able to replace my laptop! Dumb thing. :-) I hope you guys had a great day. It is bowling night for me tonight, and I am gonna get in some ab work now.

Great challenges this week! Looking forward to getting started!

Today's weight 182.4 for a total loss this week of -4.6 Have a great day!

Hey ladies. I'm sorry I'm not posting as often as I would like, but I am still having some issues with my computer...Annoying thing. Anyway, I ended up with 24 of the 28 points for this week. I had a difficult time getting in those fruits everyday! I am looking forward to the weigh in for a change. And even if the scale…

Sometimes we need the sleep. Don't be too hrd on yourself. :-) Have a great day!

today's points (but I feel like I'm missing something lol) cardio-1 strength-3 food-1 :-) Was a pretty good day. I hope you all have a great weekend.

I suffer from migrains too, so I can empathize. Glad you are back up and at it today! I love your suggestion on the fruits and veggies...it is much easier to grab something already ready for you. Especially since I generally fix my lunch in the midst of getting ready for work. :-)

I hope you have a fabulous first day at work!! :-)

Okay, after a really rough start this morning, my head is back in the game. :-) Thanks for the encouragement, I really needed it. I've got all my workouts planned in advance for this week, and with the exception of Saturday, I am working out twice a day (may involve a little neglecting of my kids though. ;-) JK). :-) I…

I am totally losing the fight...+5lbs....Ugh talk about starting the day on the wrong foot. I would prefer to just crawl back in bed and just stay there. I guess we'll see what this new week brings.

Good morning!!! Welcome to the group Amanda. :-) I hope you guys had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good. Went hiking yesterday, and looks like it's going to be a regular weekend thing. :-) Yay! There are so many beautiful places to hike here in Colorado Springs. Well it's off to work I go! Have a lovely day!!

I think we all have our up and down times. I know I certainly do. What's important is that you recognize your old patterns so you can do something about it, and you are!! You are such a great motivator for all of us. I see that you have lost almost 30 lbs and it makes me think that I can do it as well. Keep up the good…

Check in for today Under sodium- yup :-) calories burned-306 Not too bad 50 bridges- up next! A decent day. Tomorrow I get to go hiking with a friend. :-)

Did you get your run in this morning? I was going to go hiking with a friend this morning, but that was moved to tomorrow. :-) I am not a morning person either. :-)

You are doing awesome!! Great goal too!

I eat some of my burned calories back...otherwise i'm only getting like 900 cals a day and MFP yells at me. :-) I've don't the 6 small meals a day, and it was hard for me to do it because of my schedule and stuff. I just don't think it's kosher to eat in front of my kids at school when they can't. I usually get 3 meals and…

Got all my points today. :-) Have a good night!

I am Louana, most of my friends call me Louie. I have three kids, 13, 11, and 6. Last year I finished a Master's degree in Elementary Education and am teaching Kindergarten this school year. I am loving my job so far! With the last challenge I managed to lose 10lbs, which one of my teacher friends noticed! YAY! After…

I am so glad to have the challenge back! I didn't do nearly as well without it! :-)

I am back up and running again...thanks to a friend who did his best to fix my laptop. I am looking forward to a new challenge. I've miss all my ladies! :-)
