Congratulations to everyone that's been on plan as well as working your butts off!
I'm a little bugged b/c I somehow hurt my foot ... not sure where or how but its along what should be my arch (the outside right of my left foot as i'm totally flat footed). I'm not going to be able to do my planned exercise (walking/jogging) today so I'm hoping to be able to do some floor exercises instead.
MyBody--just keep moving and look into getting the best shoes possible for yourself. Really good shoes might be a bit more expensive, but well worth it in aches, pains, and a trip to the doc.
Desidoo & Ladyinweighting--way to keep at it. It sounds like we're gonna have a bunch of medal winners in the Presidential challenge!
Rated--Hope you're having a better day and have stopped beating yourself up over a few slip ups.
Shan--no sweat (no pun intended) on the rules over starting an extra thread. Maybe we can revisit the couples thing as the weeks get longer and we're looking for extra motivation. BTW, thanks again for all the work you do for these challenges. I know it takes a lot of personal time and we can't thank you enough!
Rainbow, Sindaena & Shades--CONGRATS on the early weight loss postings!
NSV for me today: I ran 1.25 miles! Went outside today with the baby, used my new stroller. Have been suck at 1/2 a mile on the treadmill so this was a huge accomplishment! Now doing a 5k by the end of March seems do-able!
I'm super frustrated right now. The scale has not been budging all week. Normally I wouldn't let it get to me because I know my woosh is coming. But the deadline for the competition at work is Friday at noon, so I need my woosh ASAP! My team is tied for 3rd place right now (top three teams win vacations). I really don't want to lose this for my team by not reaching my goal. I just don't know what else I can do!
Aclai- Try to make sure your getting enough water in. Maybe you can flush out those last few lbs you feel like your waiting on with a whoosh. Just a suggestion. Good luck on Friday! Hope your team wins!!
I know each of us finds motivations and encouragement in different ways. For many people, its hard to keep up with participating in the threads on a weekly basis so kudos to everyone for trying to continue motivating and encouraging each other on a daily basis.
Shan- you are right , each of us do find motivations and encouragement in different ways .I can not come here daily ,and it kind of feels like you don't your left in the sidelines... I'm still with ya and will check with a Hi and weigh in every week.
Thanks for all your work
Have a great time on your vacation!

i hope you get your whoooosh....i just recently experienced the same thing....5 days...and then a whooooosh finally...however, please don't think as you said that even if you don't get the whoooosh that you will LOSE it for the team....ITS A TEAM EFFORT...and a TEAM IS A TEAM...so please don't beat yourself up, or get discouraged because of a deadline....
this is YOUR LIFETIME CHANGE...YOU'VE LOST 62 POUNDS!!!!....WHOOOOP WHOOOOOP!!!! ....stay focused, stay determined, and don't let a deadline get you stressed because stress can not only hinder a weight loss it can cause a weight gain.
hugssssssss
with that being said....sending prayers your whoooosh happens for YOU!!

Blue Eyes--Don't feel left out. I can't help it I don't have a life right now except losing weight so I find myself poking around here more frequently.
Aclai--May a Red Woooosh tsunami hit you tomorrow!
