GREAT blog entry. She is an inspiration.:eusa_clap

A mantra that really helps me too is:

"All the motivation you will ever need is found in the PROCESS OF DOING. "

Any time I get off the sofa and start walking around the block, I feel a molecular shift that carries me through the day.

Good luck to everybody this week!
I wonder what's in store............:rolleyes:

First, sorry for the delay-- I restarted my computer shortly after posting the message last night and was faced with a UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME message that ended with me spending an hour last night and 2 hours this morning repairing the OS on my laptop. YAY! Good news, everything is back to normal and I haven't lost any data.

Second, I'm sorry for being so late with this-- I took a trip to the state capitol for Students for Law and Politics this week, and came back to a mountain of classwork. I'm back to normal now, though :D

Third, Because I was so late with results, I'm going to start the new challenge this week, but we won't post results until a week from this coming Monday, instead this Monday, so in 11 days, not 4.

LETS GET TO THE RESULTS!
Name Total Inches Inches Lost Percent Lost
Sweet Ara D 101.5 6 6%
Miss Caroline 91.5 2.75 3%
MissAmelina 83 2.5 3%
Miss Molly 82.5 2 2.4%
Maggiethespy 84 2 2.4%
KittyVonKirsche 117 2.5 2%
Plumdearly 117 2.5 2%
Tigerlily 108.5 2 1.84%
Sixsexsix 84.5 1.5 1.7%
Laurakitty 76.5 0 0%
Texasgirl 88 0 0%
Coralee 109 0 0%

Sweet Ara D, Miss Caroline, and MissAmelina all win 1 inch passes for next week, which means you get to add 1 extra inch of loss to the weigh-in on Monday!

MissAmelina also won the water challenge, so she gets a Weigh-In pass to use to skip her weigh-in during the week of her choice!


Congratulations to all! Just remember, if you didn't lose this week, you will next week!

The next challenge is most fitness minutes for the week! Remember not to overdo it-- we're trying to be healthy, not just lose weight and win!
We'll post results from the challenge on February 16th, not with the weigh-in on the 9th.

WAY TO GO, Ladies!

i do a 1.5 mile walk every day.
I've started wearing a pedometre.

Kitty - Hoovering TOTALLY counts! Housework burns alot of calories ( i can't remember how much) but its definately exercise.

this is going to be a toughie. I'm not going to do very well at this challenge at all.

I don't want to hear that defeatist attitude, missy! :D We all need to exercise more, and I hate it too. Hopefully, we'll learn to love it ;)

As long as you feel you are working hard when you do them, count them! When I waited tables, if I had a busy night, I counted that night's work as time. I think, as long as you feel like you've had a good workout when you're finished, it counts.

There you go with that attitude again! You don't suck, you rock my face off! You lost 2.75inches last week! imagine what you can do with a little extra exercise! And 1.5 miles a day is totally awesome!

Current waist/hip/upperarm: 36.5/43/14.5
This weeks loss: 1.5 (+1 bonus) = 2.5 in.
Total Inches Lost: 8.5 in.

Well the measurements are certainly showing me where my weight comes off first - in my waist area. I never knew that before... (sorry I added in a few lines because I was confused on if the totals were just for this week or over all - let me know if I need to edit and take them out.)


exercising is going ok... luckily I am married to a former marathon runner and he is very encouraging and getting back in shape with me. He's very good at making me push myself!
