Hello all - Due to some health issues I am going to have to pull out of the challenge. I am sorry - I love the idea of the team and the support, and I hope I can participate in something in the future!

Week Two still looks manageable to me - honestly though I'm getting worried about the subsequent weeks if it keeps getting bigger/longer/stronger! Eeek. Also - should we assume last week's goals to not go over calories and to drink 64 ounces of water per day still stand?

Does anyone else have sore abs? I am not sure if it was the situps or the burpees -- or maybe I did something really wrong. :D I am doing my pushups in sets because of it - being in plank is making my belly really scream!

Glad it's Friday! Yesterday I stayed under and did my up and downs, but I had to shorten my walking workout due to time constraints and I just ate garbage all day. :( I'm holding off my weigh in until tomorrow since i know all the bread and sodium yesterday probably did not help me. (But I don't want to weigh in after the…

I am also feeling motivated by the challenge - it came right after I joined so I had a couple days to get into the swing of things then I jumped right into the challenge. It's good because I'm not fighting my own complacency since this is sort of new to me, and that's great. I am wondering how I'll tackle some of the…

Some great advice here! If I find myself really fighting a craving, I go brush my teeth and toss on a set of those teeth whitening strips. That occupies me for a bit. :)

Today getting the water in was not a problem! I guess I just got a wicked late start yesterday. ;) Did not run that extra mile - just walked it, Ive had a long day. But it still counts!!

I love the blog idea, Jill! My biggest struggle yesterday was getting in my water - I barely made the total. Hopefully today's water intake will be easier. Looking forward to today's challenge item. I've planned to walk the extra mile but I might just run it instead!!

Got my jumping jacks (haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate) done first thing this morning. I've planned my calories for the day and have stuck by it so far. The challenges for me today are going to be getting my regular work out in, and drinking enough water. Hope everyone is off to a great start!

Newbie question! :) I assume when the challenge reads not to go over on calories that means end total, right? (or more simply: we should still eat some of our exercise points, just not end up in the red for the whole day, yes?) And me to the pile of no idea what an up and down is. :)

Just testing to see if the img worked in the signature!

Hi all - Miri here! Just joined under the wire thanks to our Captain! :) I set a goal of 8 pounds for August - I tend toward overly aggressive goals and I really need to stop demoralizing myself by doing that! :) So I am hoping 8 is a nice comfortable goal. ETA: I just joined the site yesterday, I am looking forward to…

Congrats! That is wonderful!

WOW! What a wonderful transformation - and you are just beaming with pride in those last pictures! You look fantastic, and I can't believe how many NKOTB pics you have, LOL! It's certainly a fun and interesting way to document your weight loss over time! :D

Welcome!!

Yep - that's what I figured, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thank you!

Thanks for the info!

Thanks Jill! I sent a request - I will take all the friends and support I can get! :) I have my current goal set at almost 53 pounds - although I might be able to drop about 10 more than that. I'd have to see when I reach it. :) (look, I said when! Positive thinking!!) There is so much to see on this site, I have been…
