Hi Everyone! Had a great weigh in. SO happy to be MORE then halfway done now! Woot! I'm so close to weighing less then I have in 16 years.
My leg is getting better today I went for my first walk. I went 2 miles... I could still feel it tweek a bit when I walked up a speed bump or something, but It seems to be good for normal walking. Still sad not to be able to run yet... I'm definately going to have to start all over again when I can.
1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of? Resting my leg instead of pushing it and trying to exercise anyway... and keeping my calories lower to compensate for no exercise.
2. What is your exercise goal for the week? Just being able to do a little something each day. I'm not going to push it this week. I did 2 miles today and might do the same tomorrow.
3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? I don't think I've seen enough of the world to know. In the US it would probably somewhere in the Seattle area. Outside? Maybe England.
4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be? I'd be happy to go anywhere. We don't vacation much. Switzerland to ski, Hawaii for the beach, Europe... anywhere because I haven't.
5. Who is your inspiration? For weight loss: the maintainers on the 3FC board.
Melissa - I have a sister in Alaska, too. (Anchorage) Have you been there to visit?
1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of? Stayed 100% on plan all week.
2. What is your exercise goal for the week? I know it's not much, but I'm setting a goal of ONE day of exercise this week. I was up to 5 days a week, but totally stopped @ Christmas.
3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? MN, it's where my WHOLE family lives, aside from my sister in Alaska & her family.

5. Who is your inspiration? My 85 year old Grandmother! She's a fit, chipper, amazing Christian woman. She's the center of our family. Check out the picture of her and I at Christmas. Isn't she beautiful!
Nicole- Your grandmother looks fantastic. My great-grandmother is going to be 84 in July and like yours she is amazing. She still does so much, drives, goes out with her friends, helps at the election polls, and helps at her church...I always tell her I only hope I can grow up to be half the women she is. I tell ya she could run circles around me LOL! It's really a blessing to have grandparents!

5. Who is your inspiration? My DH. I always do so much better on my plan if he is willing to go along for the ride. He needed to lose a lot less weight than me, but he has been right there doing WATP and yoga and hiking and calorie restricting with me. He is the BEST!

Well the first thing I have to say is WOW!!!!!!! I had to read thru 13 pages to catch up to you's. Congrats on the great first week.
I didnt get to go get weighed again this week so my loss is from thursday. I got way to busy with work and family and its TOM and I didnt feel so well. I will take the 2 pounds loss tho.
After reading all of those pages I cant do a personal cause I am lost lol... Congrats everyone. Remember we can do this. ONE day at a time. I am in for 5 days of exercises. Have a good night everyone. I will post again tomorrow night.
Hi everyone! I haven't had much of a chance to be online this weekend, I was away from home. I really missed reading up about everyone's progress! You guys are doing so well! I can't believe the huge numbers I'm hearing about! You GO, girls! (and guys, if there are any on the team. Are there any?)
Thought I'd fill in the "getting to know you" questions for this week. (I really like this idea! Great job, Melissa!)
1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of?
I had breakfast buffet (my favourite kind of buffet in the world) and DID NOT have homefries or any kind of potato with my meal. Homefries usually account for 1/3 of my breakfast plate. See my committment to this team?!? (LOL) Also very proud that I still went to both aquafit classes with a pulled muscle. I couldn't drive myself there, but darn it, I could swim "legs-only"!
2. What is your exercise goal for the week?
To go to aquafit twice this week, even though I'm going to be renovating. (Painting the walls & putting in flooring.)
3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
One house in Ontario, one house in Quebec.
4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be?
Thailand or hawaii, or anywhere I could take awesome photographs.
5. Who is your inspiration?
All my teammates! Go RED!
Half an hour till deadline I hope everyone gets posted! I'm not going to be able to stay up and do totals I'll have to do it in the morning. Tomorrow is the beginning of my last semester of undergrad! Yay!!
Oh and one other thing before I go to bed...I did it I did it!!! I DID IT!!! I went to the gym and I did Week1 day1 of the C25K! I documented it on our Million Pound Matchup site so you can check that out to see the video! So exciting!!
But I'm tired now LOL! Stuck to my points even have some left over!
Hi everyone. I need to catch up still on this thread - I usually only check the site once in the morning and maybe once at night but I see I will have to do a mid afternoon check too to keep up with you all. I think that will keep me accountable as well. Or at least I hope so! Good luck this week!
1. What is something you accomplished last week that you are proud of? I went all 5 days to the gym and I lifted heavier weights than the week before.
2. What is your exercise goal for the week? Same as last week - an hour a day 5 days, but am going to add in some evening walking as well.
3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? I love it here in WA but I'd rather live in Seattle, or closer in one of the suburbs.
4. If you could vacation anywhere in the world where would it be? Spain
5. Who is your inspiration? My trainer inspires me to keep trying at each session.
(and guys, if there are any on the team. Are there any?)
