ok i cant remeber what day im on with my challganges at the moment im a day behind tay so... posting for yesturday and today... sorry once again partying like a rock star. thank you tia for also liking my pic i was a lil drunk in lol. Also tia i agree that if your challenge isnt the right for u you should scrap it. My mom was on aktins and lost weight but as soon as as she started eating reg food again she gained it right back and besides why give up the best food in the world PASTA but u go girl with the pound losing. I keep meaning to change my ticker also i have lost anouther 2 lbs but im waiitn gtill it adds up to 15 then i get fried wanton 
so uhh... today is day ten... water challenge getting close to complete for the day... but uh... i have been putting off weighing myself for the past few days... since i hit that one week mark i been itching to weigh... but been scared of the scale... i just did it a few minutes ago, kind of on impluse, i was in the bathroom and the scale was just kinda calling my name...

have figured it out. This was Day 11 on the crunches and would have been Day 11 on caffeine but I took another pause day because I wanted the extra kick before the gym. I think I have one more pause day left on caffeine, two on crunches. So tomorrow, Monday, I will start Day 12 on crunches and Day 11 again on caffeine. I am starting over on the journaling from today and as soon as I write it up today, it will be Day 1. Since I didn't eat much at all today and did a lot of exercise, it will be a glowing start! 
I could have continued on the journaling, but like I said, I wasn't paying it enough attention or giving it enough thought, so I want a clean start.
Sure nice to have the scale calling your name when it has good news! But, good for you for putting in the work. Hurrah! 
No sign of jenny or cy yet? 
You know, I didn't realize that you were actually losing an entire pound a week!! That's quite enough. I had the impression you were totally stuck and the scale wasn't moving for weeks and weeks. You're doing fine then! I hope you're not coming down with something though. The lightheadedness is probably just from the excitement!! Congrats on getting through to Day 3!! As for the journaling I hear with the babysteps and not wanting to see what you've eaten, but I think it will only make you feel bad if you feel you have to scold yourself. Why don't you just say to yourself you are going to do it merely as a record and will not pass any judgment on yourself. Do it as a mere awareness-raising exercise with no eye to any assessment. That way you will have a great record when you actually are ready for cutting down or putting better foods into your diet. Your hula dancing sounds like it was fun! What's Power90?
) then it only makes sense to scrap it and change it to fit your abilities, lifestyle, schedule etc. It's especially hard for new people and new challenges. That's why we often have people doing what we call "stealth challenges," where they start something up without telling anyone just to see if they think they can do it and then when they see they can they announce all of a sudden that they're on Day 3 or something! That's a stealth challenge, kind of like when an Olympic swimmer starts the race and swims underwater for a long time and no one can see what she's doing and then she comes up way far along... As for that scale, though, I hope it's not broken. If you didn't do anything new and it's moving around too much, that is a bit strange. I bet you have lost but your scale might be a bit off. Is it a digital one or manual, meaning no battery? I would invest in the best scale you can, because this is serious business! Either that or get a pair of skin calipers to measure how much fat you're losing. 
Good for you! 
But, I am back on the straight and narrow! Now don't you go falling with that baby stroller! Have you ever considered getting one of those jog strollers? I think South Beach is a good sound diet. I don't know if it's restricted enough for you to lose on unless you're careful not to overeat. Since calories aren't counted you can still not lose on it if you eat too much. It is very healthy though and I think would be a good maintenance diet. You may just find though that cutting out sugar and white flour will be enough for you to lose. It depends on what your cravings tend to be. I know if I didn't go out for tons of beer every week I'd probably be thinner. Then again, I may just sit home all blue and stuffing my face with junk....
Aren't you back on the wagon yet?!?! marble, have you just gotten so think you faded away on us? 
Phys, computer keeping you away again? Hope all is well!

To everyone! And Second, I have to add my own WOOOHOOO! to the general celebratory din this morning, as the scale said 225.5 when I got on it for my morning weigh in!!! I'm about to move my ticker - it will say I've met my mini goal, but I still have 1/2 lb. to go, for the record. It seems (tentatively) that the dread 228-230 plateau may be behind me at last!!!!
