No worries Jamie

This is a challenge only against yourself.

:BunnyTHERE ARE NO RULES:Bunny

You don't have to list anything at all if you don't want to--BUT it will be helpful as the weeks pass to see all of your awesome progress!

I have to say I am feeling better already this week.

I hopefully will be stronger next week as long as my back holds out & the "SARGE" stays on top of it;)

I hope everyone is feeling GREAT!

Okay, I'm in too. I'm just beginning the journey and I am using 2006 to become healthy again.

Marebear, I am touched by your name, I lost my sister 3 years ago and her nickname was Mare Bear, I miss her very much and think of her often, we were less than a year apart in age so we grew up together. She was a special person who always had a smile on her face. She struggled with her weight as I do and it is through her I learned that the quality of a person is in no way related to their weight.

It's nice to know that theres another Mare Bear out there, good luck.

TommyO,

I am always glad when somthing I say or do touches someone else. A teacher at the school where I teach PreK gave me that name several years ago. I love bears and my name is Mary. How did your sister get her nickname?

While, I have not lost my brother or sister, I lost my youngest son, Danny 5 3/4 years ago at the age of 16 1/2. When he died, I lost the will to keep struggling with my weight and it has been a lifetime struggle.

Thank you for sharing with me.

Mary:)

I am so in. I turn 30 this year and last year was HELL with family problems. I let them get to me but not this year because I am kickin myself into shape and am kickin the bad negative thoughts out.

Well this week I did actually workout 4 times.

Thats the first time in ...well I couldn't actually remember when.LOL LOL

I am thrilled to report that I have lost a HUGE 4 pounds this week!!!

That is the most I have lost in one week since 5 months ago!!

I am so happy.

I still need to work on the water thingy. That will be accomplished no matter what this week. Plus I will up my exercise time as I commited.

I promise myself!

LBT BOOTCAMP

starting weight... 223

end of week 1... 219

Count me in! Current weight 204 lbs.

~Signed Jini

Week 2 -

Water - always get it in, cause I love water

food - tough week, I have learned that my appetite increases in the evnings, so I must stay away from all temptations (and temptors)

Exercise - Walked 45 minutes 4 days, strength training twice

Weight - still 244

Water = Yup got in 72 oz yesterday

Exercise = Sciatica acting up so no exercise for me this past week. Working on getting it in for next week. Gonna try out my new Yoga DVD.

Food = Nutrisystem is a wonderful thing. 1200 to 1400 calories per day.

Weight = weigh in is on Thursday. Let's see if it works.

Well off to a good start..lost 1 lb this week..made good choices with food and been drinking 100 oz of water a day..walked 2x's last week rode stationary bike 2 x's for 3 miles each , did my walk diet DVD 1 time.. my ass is sore..Today is a new week..I'm going for 2 lbs this week! Wish me luck

I am mad, as stated in my other post in the Lounge. I have been exercising, taking my Vitamins, drinking my Water, cutting my salt, etc., and I still gained a pound back last week, and again this week.

I guess I should be focusing on everything that I'm doing right now, that I wasn't doing right 2 weeks ago, eh? This week I'll be eating slower, eating more veggies and more Protein, and taking smaller bites.

And that's my final answer sir drill saaaaargeant!
