Way to go Emma...congrats on the inches and the pound.

Self...GOOD JOB...I look forward to seeing the official numbers tomorrow. And how fantastic about the running. Music makes all the difference doesn't it.

Excellent results everyone, I'm proud of you all and we should all be proud of ourselves.

Keep it Legal!

Great job running, Self!

Good job on those losses, Emma and Sensfan!

Today is my weigh in day. I lost 0.4 pounds for the week. I actually think I am retaining some water from beginning a new workout this week, so I'm not going to sweat the small loss. Hopefully next week will show more on the scale, but even if it doesn't, I am feeling so good and happy in my skin. That is something I haven't been able to say in a few years!

I ran again yesterday. Two miles walking, two miles running. My legs are VERY sore today, but I know that will pass.

Hello All,

Posted yesterday morning but got lost somewhere in cyberspace I guess. Weighed myself yesterday and was down another pound from Wednesday which makes 4 pounds altogether..but..the reason I weighed myself was because I was going to my next door neighbour's wedding ...so..I'm not too sure what the scale will say on Wednesday. I wasn't really terrible and did dance most of the night so we'll see. Sure that some of the weight loss this week has been because I took a week off of physio for my leg and went and played a couple of hours of tennis each day and swam when I couldn't do that. Saw the specialist on Fri though... there is a lot of damage so they will be doing some painfull ART therapy on it (tear apart the scar tissue with fingertips) starting tomorrow and possibly maybe only swimming will be possible.......gonna play 2 hours again tonight.
Anyway I want to say thank you so much Julie for all the work you put into this board each say! You're awesome.

Hey all ~ i've had a tough week (being pms'ing and all) but my *moon time* is finally upon me and i am feeling better. I didn't weigh in because of this time of the month. Can i check back in with you next week with that?

[julirama723]

Re: WORK IT!: The 2007 Labor Day Challenge Thread, Sign-up and Reporting

Ann and goonie, congrats on your inches/pounds lost! Keep up the great work, ladies.

I am so impressed with the dedication of the challenge members--it's truly inspiring! I love seeing the support and positive attitudes here. I feel like this thread is becoming a little community of support, and I think with that kind of encouragement, we will be able to accomplish things that, in the past, we didn't dare dream of!

Jenna--by all means, wait until next week! I don't think a woman here would deny you the option of waiting until after TOM to weigh!
