I hope it's okay for me to start the first thread for this new challenge. I guess this "week" is going to run from now until Sunday the 4th, then we can start the Week 2 thread. We're not going to have exactly eight weeks, but 7 weeks and 4 days It's all good! Let's do this, ladies!

My WEEDY day:

W- 100 oz

E- Hitting the gym with Rob from 1:30-2:30

E- On Plan! I'm trying for 4 mini-meals today I'm going to go back on the trying to eat every 3-4 hours again! I had my first meal today at 12, though...not good. I need to start eating breakfast again!

D- It's a new challenge! 8 weeks, 16 pounds...you can do that! And guess what? When you do, you'll be THIS close to your ultimate goal. That's amazing! GO FOR IT! Don't be afraid, don't look back.

OK, as I did last challenge, I will aim for 15% of my overall goal. That is 2.25 pounds. So I will round it down to 2 pounds, based on having missed my Halloween goal by one pound. I know, it doesn't sound lofty, but it works for me!

W - 64 oz.
E - 60 minute walk (DONE)
E - Fruits and veggies are first choice. Am doing well today.
D - One foot in front of the other.

WELCOME newcomers! LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, my Daily WEED:

W- 2.5L (works out to 80 oz)

E - walked 2 km at lunch today

E- low carbed breakfast and lunch, looking to keep it up for supper

D- my goal for tonight is to make it to my fitness class. As a daily affirmation, I want to remind myself that my blood sugar is under much more control today - my hands and feet don't hardly itch at all! It's so good to be OP, and not scratching myself until I bleed all the time!

i overate at lunch...we had a potluck......but i think i made up for it....i came home and cut the grass in the front and back and did some weedeating and cleaning out front. gotta make sure the kiddies can see the house LOL

OK, kicking butt and taking names!!

I am going to really, really bust my butt for this. I want to hit 139 for this challenge, so I have to average just over two pounds a week.

W-- 100 oz done today, same tomorrow

E-- a 45 minute walk. Done today w 10 minute toning workout this am.
Same walk tomorrow, maybe a video too.

E-- low carb, high protein
usually low fat low sugar yogurt
string cheese
big salad w grilled chicken and SB ranch
veggies
reasonable dinner with the family, not so good today, very good up til I got home, then a small portion of Orange Chicken & Shredded Pork w garlic sauce, passed on the Crab Rangoons though. Also had a beer and 5 Halloween Twix Candy Bars- thank goodness they were the little ones, probably about equals one big one, so over all, not TOO TOO horrible, but definitely not good

D- don't let work get you down - a struggle every day

Ok, count me in I've never done a challenge before, so this is exciting.
I understand most of it, could you just tell me are we to post every day?
I guess I'll set my goal for 10lbs. sounds like a good start, that will put me at 158, wow.

W- To drink at least 64oz of water a day.

E- To start exercising at least 3-4 times a week
(right now I do none )

E- To stay within my WW points and make healthy choices.

D- This one is easy. (well easy to think about )
I have more craft supplies and fabrics than anyone could ever use in a lifetime, I keep putting off sorting through it, so goal is to spend at least 15mins. a day sorting, organizing, and giving away.
I look forward to this, everyone.

lol Lynn you sound like me!
