Morning Everyone!

I was so excited when I woke up this morning... not only cause its weigh in day for me... but its RESULTS DAY! This challenge I want to do a little something different to see if it works out.

This thread is specifically for Week 1 Results and Discussion. Meaning, I'm going to post the Blue Team Results, Melissa will post the Red Team and we find out the week's winner. PLUS on top of that, I'd like for you to leave input on what you liked/disliked over the past week regarding challenge issues, or your diet & exercise issues. I think it will help Melissa and I get to know you better and it will help me with keeping the majority happy.

So... with that said... discuss away!

YAY BLUE TEAM!

We did a great job this week and only had 2 people that didn't weigh in so they are using freebie weeks. We had some ups and downs this week, but I think as a team we have all agreed to step it up this week.

A quote I found this morning is something I wanted to share with my team to motivate them. This will be our motto for this week ladies!

"You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be."
