WEEK FIVE

Historically, weeks 6 - 10 have seen a steady decline in points (trending data provided by: John Ellis) Make sure you keep exercising regularly and watching how much you eat.

Did you know that you can burn an extra 100 calories per day, by simply taking a multivitamin?

Don't forget to use the comments section to talk trash or provide a few encouraging words.

*James is suffering from a back injury, which is keeping him from doing much of anything, let alone exercising. His status will be updated week to week. Until his recovery, he will not be eligible for the weekly pay-in - consequently, he will not be rewarded with points during this time as well.

WEEK TWO - updated

After having an unbelievable first week, losing 37 lbs collectively, we followed it with a respectable 20lb loss in week two.

Vacations and business travel made it difficult for many folks this week, but those are the times we need to focus the most. Finding ways to eat healthy and exercise while traveling is hard work, but if that’s a typical part of your life, you must find ways to make it work.

Here are some tips on staying thin while traveling:
1. In the airport, stick to light sandwiches or salads.
2. Avoid fried foods at all costs
3. Beware of airplane food.
4. Bring your own nutritious snacks.
5. Order from the healthy eating menu selections at restaurants.
6. Order sauces on the side.
7. Check and see if the hotel you’re considering has a gym.
8. Use stairs whenever possible – it really does make a difference.
9. See if your gym has a location nearby.
10. Get your rest – a sleep-deprived brain can send out false signals of hunger.
11. Drink water instead of snacking.
