Thanks JC! I've been bad but it will get better. It really helps to have the support of friends! Lots of stress this week but I've been able to put some difficult work and personal things behind me. Next week should be better. We are also in the middle of getting a new roof which just creates more work and more excuses! I…

Nice work! I forgot to weigh in today but I'm not expecting much will check tomorrow.

I have once again let work get in the way of my motivation and exercise. Sadly I haven't even been getting my water in. Tomorrow is another day! Keep plugging away team!

welcome Missysue!

If you want me to keep track of our progress I can do that. I have made a spreadsheet that I can share and we can track measurements and weight or not. I'm open to whatever the group wants to do! I'm about to track my measurements now.

Still room for 11 members if anyone else would like to join us! The more the merrier!

Nice work Melsy - I'm on EST so it is 6:30 here and I have 5 glasses of water in - 3 to go!

Ok well this new group is already motivating me. i got in 30 minutes of exercise inside since it is cold and wet outside! I did 25 minutes of Wii Zumba followed by my 100 crunches, 30 push ups, and 3 minutes of running up and down the stairs! The dog thought I was crazy but the stairs really got my heart rate up! :-)…

Ok room for 11 more members!

JCMercyGrace that's sounds like it would work to me! You are welcome to substitute any exercise that works for you!

Welcome, gonnabefitgirl, zumnsl and balowry1. The group is filling quickly, this is great!

ya!!! Welcome ladies! Harleygirl you can send friend requests. I will send you one to get you started!

Awesome welcome!

Great that's what I think too! I missed three weeks because of a crazy work schedule. I need a new challenge to keep me going ;-)

Somehow I was down this week? I have been eating poorly and hadn't worked out for 3 weeks. Current weight is 168...

You are an inspiration to me. I am in a rocky patch - bad eating and no exercise for 2.5 weeks. I have to get back on track I was making slow progress.

Ok so work has been absolutely insane for the past two weeks. I haven't worked out, I've been eating poorly and not logging my calories and I've been exhausted every night. I hope to get back into a routine next week. This is just crazy. Last week's weight - 169, this weeks weight 170. I haven't quit but have had a setback.

Ok sorry to keep changing my mind. I've found a place that is level and hard. I weighed 167 at that spot, that feels right. I would have loved a 3 pound loss but that did seem aggressive. So my final answer for the week is 167 - down 1 pound.

Nice job Renee. They should have you running all week! I have bad news...my scale was not level. I moved it this morning to a different part of the house with a level floor, I really weigh 170. I'm not even sure where I started now or how much I have lost. I feel better, look better and clothes fit better. I will just have…

Woohoo! Down 3 pounds - weighed in at 165 today!

Great NSV!

Ok I can happily begin the weigh in today. I tortured myself the last couple of days and my current weight is 168. I am down 2 pound from last week, am still one pound short of where I should be this week! Looking forward to some more intense workouts this weekend. If I can lose 2 pounds next week then I will be back on…

Ahhh....I was doing so well this week and I was stressed and broke down and ate a yucky lunch - 700 calories. I'm going to have to do some insane workout today to make up for it. I was so on track for a good weigh in tomorrow. Latoya - my plan is to workout to make up for any eating/drinking mistakes! Holly

Ok I will start the weigh in this morning with bad news and hope that others can change the trend! I've been bad and gained a pound this week. I'm struggling to get beyond the 5 pound weight loss. I may need to go to more drastic diet and change my calorie goals for 2 lbs lost per week? Any advice is welcome. CW - 170.…

Don't give up, I lost a lot at first and then put it back on (water weight). Now I am right on target 5 weeks in and 5 pounds down. Keep exercising and watching your calories and it will work! I'm not a big fan of water pills - we are looking to lose fat not water. Water will just come back!

Boy was I bad on Saturday! I didn't feel that well - hay fever - and ended up eating like a pig! Sunday was a little bit better but not much. I did do 30 minutes of Wii Zumba on Sunday but I usually like to go for a couple of really hard workouts on the weekend. It's going to be tough to take a pound off this week - still…

I got myself the Timex IronMan Race Trainer a couple of weeks ago. I really like it! It does count calories but I have read hat it is unrlieable to go on that measurement. I am always way higher on calorie burn on the HRM then I am on MFP. I generally pick a number that is in between and will go with that. When I bought my…

Hey Looking Good for the New Year team - send me friend requests it will help to motivate me to see all of the great things that you do everyday!

Oh ya and my goal for weight for end of year is 150 pounds, which is exactly one pound per week between now and the end of our challenge. A totally intimidating goal to me but so far I am losing at 1 pound per week so hopefully it will work! I also missed the introduction. I am 37 years old and 5'10", I used to be an…

I've hit a bit of a lump at 5 weeks but am gaining ground. I started out with an incredible 7 pound weight loss and I was so motivated. I was thinking that some of it was probably water weight but was hoping to hold it off. However most of it did come back :-(. The good news is that I really am down 5 pounds from my…
