w00t w00t I lost two lbs this week! I am pretty surprised, I only made it to the gym 3 times this week!

Today my roommates and I are going to check out new gyms. The one I am currently at is very dirty, but I have stuck with it because my roommates signed a contract this couldn't get out of until the beginning of April, so we are switching as soon as their contract is over!

Pretty excited, I can't wait to go SPINNING!

I've never tried a spinning class. I did the bike today, I would like to try a spinning class but Goodlife doesn't offer them at the one i go to...

thats a shame.. spinning is awesome. The goodlife by my house (the one I think I am going to sign up with) has spinning!

Hey, I hope you don't mind I sent a reminder newsletter to everyone. It has a few updates from the last few pages in case some are too busy to check every page and reminders about weigh ins. We are still missing one person. Hmm.

Shannon

I went and updated my weight on the weigh in thread, down 3.6....HIGH FIVE EVERYONE!!!!

Hello ladies! I'm sorry I haven't been around lately, but congrats to those who lost weight this week!!

I've been sick and have had countless things to do for school (including an observation...yikes) and so I haven't been working out but I have been eating really well. Hopefully I lost a lb or 2 this week.

Since I can now walk around my house without having an asthma attack, I'm going to start back working out tonight. And since I missed so many last week, I'll prob work out 7 days this week.

Oh, and some happy news, my cousin (and one of my best friends) called me this week and told me she's pregnant with #2! That's only another reason for me to lose this weight so I can go to her house and entertain her 2.5 year old after the new baby arrives :).

i got our apple newsletter! whoo, i think we're doing fantastic! whats going on with the official newsletter? i know there wont be challenges... but we've got nothing so far.

maybe our team could have our own challenges each week? i think that would be extra motivation, and i'll be able to work out this week so that would be awesome.

i'm terrified to weigh myself, i know i lost quite a bit this week but i feel heavy today and i just realized i'm supposed to get my period in a few days so i'm terrified of water retention. ugh, well at least i'm prepared for not having such a great week 2- not that it will hold me back. if anything, i'll work extra hard

how is everyone else doing?

also- question for the weigh in, do you want us to edit our original post and add week 2 stats or should we just post a new reply?

Edit the original post. ^_^ Thanks!


I think a team challenge would be great! How 'bout an exercise challenge?

She did update the newsletter. She just edited her orginal post.. she didn't send out a message!

I got a new gym membership today. Looking forward to going tomorrow!! =] Played badminton tonight.. HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! I love badminton heh

Hoping to have a good week!

Awesome! My mom LOVES badminton!

Yes, I just checked and there is a newsletter!

My biggest struggle this time around is getting exercise in. I've started to take my pedometer and use it in the 10,000 challenge in the exercise thread. I still haven't reached 10,000 but I'm working that way. I exercised today for 10 minutes and I've done the 8 minutes in the morning for the last week. I will continue to do it. I know it won't give great results but it will be a bit more than what I have been doing. I am currently making a exercise calender in hopes I will actually do it.

Ack, why am I failing so miserably at being active on this chat! I'm sorry, my applicious ladies!! :( I really would like to make a better effort to get to know all of you, but jeez, you've already filled up 8 pages of stuff that I've missed out on! Hehe. But at least I'm still working diligently at this challenge... I lost 2.2 lbs for our team this week! :D Congrats to everyone else who pulled a loss, and hugs to anyone who gained!

I am absolutely up for an exercise challenge! What will be it be, oh fearless leader Shannon?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I want to make it attainable to everyone, even those who aren't on a exercise schedule as of yet. I guess we can all hope to attain 85-100 minutes of cardio a week. I remember that is what I always pushed for when I did PUSH.tv. That's up to 12 minutes to 16 minutes of cardio a day. Does that sound okay for everyone?

Off Topic: Yesterday, my boyfriends cat of 11 years ran out. We've put up signs and scoured the neighborhood. We can't find her. She's a declawed indoor cat. Due to her age, we're afraid that she went off to die. My kitten has been acting different ever since. It really hurts cause as much as Cat hated me, I loved her. She was beautiful and regal. It's too quiet here without her hissing at me. Also, I know my boyfriend is hurting. She has been there for him when he was at his darkest moments. I miss her and I want her to come back.I think I emotionally ate a bit last night cause of it but it was well within my points.

Aww I feel for you and the cat situation, my cat was 25 when she died! My parents got her before they had me! i was only 21 when she died. It was SO rough. She was not an indoor cat by any means she would kill birds and mice and bring them to our house, as her contribution to food. She followed us to school when me and my sisters were younger. And no lie in EVERY picture that my parents have of me playing outside as a baby you can see the cat hiding behind a tree watching. She even jumped out of a bush and attacked a dog that was barking at me, man i LOVED that cat!!!

On the other part of your note i think that cardio goal sounds awesome!
