Looks like I'll need to push it a little harder this week. Especially considering I'll be on vacation next week... Congrats to all who are losing, I will be joining you soon, I can feel it!

Hello all, I'm excited to get started again! I haven't been too dilligent in the time off and am hoping to see a more constant improvement this time around. My starting weight is 172.4 this time and I am aiming for 155 in 8 weeks. My challenge to myself this week is to walk an hour each day, and then to keep that up at least 4-5 days a week for the remainder of the challenge.

I seem to be at a stand still here. I was 170.1 on Sat. I am definitely interested in giving this challenge another go, since I just started working out again, which I believe may be the reason for the weight not moving just yet. I just need to keep with it and I'm sure I'll notice an improvement!

I think I need this challenge! I was at 172.2 this weigh in. Not sure what happened this week, but it's definitely time to step it up! My plan will be to take the T to work all week, which automatically adds 45 minutes of walking each day, as well as working out for 45 mins to an hour at least three times this week. Hopefully this will turn the scale around...

I'm happy with the fiber challenge, too, since I've never really paid any attention to the amount of fiber in my diet.

I've actually been too sick the past couple days to even go to work, but still managed to fit an hour walk into my busy (hehe) day filled with sleeping. Now my MD wants me to come in for a mono test if I get any worse. Man I hope that's not the case!

I'm going to try going to work tomorrow, just to kill the boredom. I think it might actually be healthier for me. The one thing I'm hoping to get out of this, is to keep off the weight I feel I must have lost over the last couple days, for lack of eating much at all... I'll have to try to eat more tomorrow though, so my body doesn't go into starvation mode!

Hi everyone. I just joined the site today and was so excited when I came across this challenge. I'm starting at 171.4 lbs today, so I'm hoping maybe 170 by Sat (that might be wishful thinking, but I'll try). My goal will be 150 by June 15th. I'm so excited, and since I'll be trying to lose 1.4 lbs before Sat, I won't be tempted to pig out before starting the challenge (as I have had the tendency to do in the past...)

Walnuthill - I have FitFlops, too. I absolutely love them! They are so comfortable, and you can definitely feel them working. I also love my MBTs. They are a bit more expensive, but give such a great work out!

I love Week 1's challenge. I always try to drink enough water, but that will push me to make sure that I do

One thought on emotional eating: Lately if I have a craving for a particular food, I make myself walk just over a mile to the store to get it. Then, most of the time by the time I've walked there, I don't even crave it that much anymore and end up getting something healthier. If I still crave it, I allow myself to eat it (just a small portion), once I've walked the mile home...
