Thanks Lisa! I'm trying not to jump ahead and to just take it one day at a time right now. The only problem is that the problem we are having we have had several times in the past and if its going to keep coming to the surface, its not going to work for me. I just can't keep going in the same circle my whole life. We'll see what happens... Thanks for the support ladies!

Ok, someone come up with another daily challenge. I don't want to take over. lol If not for the weekend, then maybe something for Monday. I surprised myself and went jogging at 8:30 this morning. So proud! lol But, I think the ice cream I'm about to eat might outweigh the jog.

Great job ladies! Keep it up. And great job trying with the water challenge! I got my 64 oz in, but not much more than that.

Don't forget to weigh in today ladies!

oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. He must be feeling so badly. I hope that in the next few weeks everything works itself out.

Lisa~ I'm so glad your dad's surgery went well! What a relief. I hope his recovery goes well. So, today I went back outside and jogged/walked for like 30 minutes and then did 20 lunges and 20 push-ups. Not a lot, but at least I did something. I have a Daily Challenge for tomorrow: Wednesday's Challenge~ Drink 64 oz (or 8- 8oz glasses) of water. If you drink coffee or soda, add one glass of water for each coffee/ soda you have.

So, don't beat yourself up about yesterday. Just focus on today. And, if you're wedding is 30 days away, that's still plenty of time to see some sort of results! Have a great day. Kathy, Ginalyn and SSNM~ thanks for the advice. I think I will look for a goal other than weight loss. I don't know if I could ever commit to a fitness show, but a run of some sort could work. I hate running, but have been forcing myself to jog a little recently. I'll have to check into something in my area so I have a goal.

Well girls, I didn't workout yesterday or today. I like to workout outside and its rained both days. Question for you guys: What do you do to stay consistent? I find that I'll be all gung-ho for a week or so and workout every day, but then I fall of the wagon and months can go by without me doing anything. I'd love to find a way to make exercise a part of my life just like brushing my teeth everyday. Anyone have an tips? Once I miss one day its so easy to make up an excuse not to exercise the next day and then next...

Quote: Originally Posted by FutureMrsLewis Ugh, I feel like crap this weekend, can I spread them out? lol Of course! So, yesterday I walked/ jogged for 45 minutes outside and then came in and did my 50 crunches and 25 push-ups. I have to admit, the push-ups were killer and I almost stopped after just 6. I'm weak. lol Its raining today, but if it stops I'd like to head out for a walk.

Like Steph, I don't know the circumstances, but what I have learned from my experience is that guys are dumb. If there is something you need from him, tell him, because he honestly doesn't know that you need it - as much as you think he should "just know"! Talking it out has really helped us, and I hope things work out for you both too. It has been a stressful year for you guys, so maybe try & take a step back and ask if it's the stress, or if it's actually you guys. PM me, or msg me in FB if you want to talk more about it. You can even call me if you want! I wish you all the best sweetie. Thanks Amanda! Its so nice to know that there are people who understand.

Thanks Steph! I'm going to take some time this weekend and think things over. I don't want to give up. I was surprised he even asked me if there was a chance we shouldn't be together. I kind of just thought we were fighting and would get over it at some point. But, now that he's brought it up, its something to think about I guess. Thanks for the advice. I can definitely use it.

I have a BIG confession... I confess that my husband and I have not been getting along at all for a while now and its to the point where he asked me if I still wanted to be married. He is away this weekend and I'm supposed to be thinking about what I want to do... Ugh. This is so not what I thought I'd be dealing with 9 months after getting married. And, to top it off, I haven't been able to talk to anyone because I don't want them to know we are having problems and all of our friends are friends with both of us. Its going to be a loooong weekend... I'm so thankful for BDW and knowing I have a place I can at least vent without being judged.

Ladies, I wanted to post our first daily challenge earlier today, but totally lost track of time. So, here's a WEEKEND CHALLENGE: At some point this weekend do 50 crunches and 25 push-ups (yes the girly way counts lol) I figured since its the weekend it'll be good to start with a work out challenge and start off slow. Let us all know how you do!

Jackie~ I want those recipes! lol That's a great loss. Definitely chime in on the thread whenever. Steph~ you're in for a long weekend. Lots of temptation. Good luck! Alright losers, let the contest begin! lol I'm excited to share ideas. I'm heading to write a paper for school, drop it off and then hopefully get outside for some exercise before I have to go to work.

I agree~ join BL 7!

A huge thanks to those who have already sent me their pics. So far I have received pictures from 11 of you! That's great, but I want more of you to participate, hehe. If none of the other participants oppose I would like to extend the deadline to 11:59PM today, Sept 24. This game is all about motivation and support, so let's get more in the group Final list of participants will be posted tomorrow morning. I'm good with this! The more the merrier.

I love these. Some are really hilarious! Thanks for sharing.

Kathy, I would just send your weight as of today, even though in the future your pics will be on Saturdays. That way everyone is starting on the same day. Just a thought...

Amanda, I'm so excited for you that you are doing this!

Hi everyone, don't forget to weigh in today! Hope you're all having a great day! I'm heading out for a walk/jog now.

I can't wait to start! Although, I haven't been feeling well all week and my starting weight will be down, I'm excited to have everyone to talk to everyday about what we are all doing to reach our goals!
