Hey Tiffany! Way to go with the 75%, even if the initial weigh in was a little off that's still good progress. Now we just have to keep the momentum! I went to a new gym class this morning. It kicked my butt, but I made it through without almost passing out or puking. Hopefully I'll keep going....

Monica, I'm not at 75% anymore. More like 50%. I gained a few pounds over the weekend. I probably won't lose as fast any more because I am eating in a way that will be easier for me to maintain. I tried to stick to that restrictive cleanse for 10 days but only made it 6. Now, I am making healthy choices more often but allow myself some indulgences. I've got to enjoy life or I will totally give up the entire thing. However, I found some new motivation. I was talking to someone I used to hang out with and mentioned that I was trying to lose weight to which he responded, "You won't. You won't lose it. You like drinking too much." Oh yeah buddy. A sure fire way to get me motivated to do something is to tell me I can't or won't do it! Every time I feel like quitting I will think of him and my desire for him to be WRONG! :-)

haha! My husband did the same thing. He said "I can't believe you gave $20 to that website, that's 20 you'll never see again."

I WILL prove him wrong, don't tell me I can't do something ! Funny how that motivates us so much.

We can do it! I've never tired a cleanse. It seems like a good idea, but I'd probably only make it day before caving....

Happy Sunday! I'm confident you will meet all your goals you set this week.

Thanks LaDavia! It is hump day! I hope you week is going well. :-)

Looking good Tiff. 75% already. I'm half way there. Ran these hills in my neighborhood yesterday and passed on a seafood buffet. So 2 stars for yesterday. Thanks for inviting me. I'm finally motivated to do this weight loss thing.

Hey Dwayne!!!! Kudos to you for running the hills in your neighborhood. I have not done any exercise yet during the challenge but I plan to get on it this week. According to my dietbet initial weigh in I've lost 75% of my target but I think that number is so high because I weighed in at night when I had someone to take a picture for me and it was that time of the month so I was already bloated. My weight fluctuates by a few pounds around that time anyway. My friend Ladavia and I are planning to keep joining these DietBets until we reach our goals. I think I may join one each week so every week I have a new weight loss goal. :-) At that rate I will definitely make my goal to be 30 lbs lighter by my bday in August.

Hey girl. Added you to mfp but not sure how it works. I hope can get in the gym this weekend. I went this morning but only did a lame mile.

Exactly! Monica is right Ladavia. I haven't walked a mile all week soooo... Next week though I promise to start hitting the treadmill (whisper to self...you said that last week. LOL)

You will fit it in. But you've been better about your diet that I have been. I have only truly denied myself soda and then recently cheese for lent. I just ate a slice of sweet potato pie. But it was for a good cause! I bought it from some med students at a bake sale.

We've made it a week. So far I've only had one set back...We can do it!

What's a salad without cheese, croutons and dressing ?? I just make sure I do a lite dressing and a reasonable portion of cheese and croutons. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable lunch!

LOL! You're right Monica. :-) That is why I said I don't really call it a slip and overall I'm really proud of myself for not having bang bang. I think that is the first time since I discovered Bonefish grill around 2005 that I've been there and did not have bang bang shrimp.

Oh booo! I don't have an iPhone either (and don't want one). That may be the reason why I am not using it already. :-(

Why wasn't I invited to gympact?! I have an iPhone and let me tell you ladies, you are missing out.
