St. Patrick's day Challenge
Replies

I'm joining a bit late! I'd like to lose 3.6kg by Paddy's Day (the day of my people), workout in some way 6 days per week and meet my calorie goal daily with one day where I eat back my exercise calories in full to avoid lapsing/cheating.
SW: 72.6kg (160lbs)
GW: 69kg (152lbs)
Checking in folks
I had a bad weekend but I'm back on the horse. I did exercise 4 days last week but 3 of those days I did 2 workouts per day.
This week I am refocusing on my goal to workout 6 days.
SW: 72.6kg
CW: 72.1kg
GW: 69kg
Checking in with great news. Have done 2x Kayla Itsines BBG and 2x C25K Week 3 runs so far this week. Did a 5:2 fast day yesterday and woke up to a lovely surprise.
SW: 72.6kg
CW: 70.9kg !!!!
GW: 69kg
1.9kg/4lb to go in the next 14 days. I can do this!!!0 -
Hit the gym again today and got over my 10,000 steps. I also managed to stay under my calorie limit. Hopefully it all pays off! The first few lbs came off when I started logging with MFP again but ever since then the scale hasn't budged

Day 15. Walked in a hailstorm yesterday. Likely raining today. Not giving up on the walking commute, lol.0

Over my calorie goal tonight. And sat on my butt most of the day other than a couple hours at work. Plan to get back at it tomorrow.0

Way too much food. Way too much wine. Wonderful day. Oh well!0 -
Made it to the gym again today
also managed to stay under my calorie limit. Hopefully it will reflect on the scale at my next weigh-in. 0 -
Well my trip to Long Island over last weekend was great. Too many Margaritas and got my monthly on the way home. Needless to say no weight loss. Made it to the gym twice this week and below calories. You gotta keep on keeping on!0

Came in under goal tonight. Got a run (completed week 6 of 10k trainer) and a walk in today. Still need to work on junk food more, but I'm feeling much more confident with my choices overall than I have in a year and a half.0

Day 8
Felled by multiple infections. Working on getting well and staying that way. Still logging food, what little I've eaten, and under my calorie goal.0 -

CW 205. Down 3. Eating clean and moving as much as possible, I had a mid thigh to mid shin replacement done 9 weeks ago so I'm only allowed to walk at this point. Feels good to move again after 3 years of nothing!0 -
I've hit a plateau! But not going to let it discourage me.....I can still see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!0

I wish wine was calorie free! My greatest weakness. My son sent me a link for low calorie wine. I've already made it up in my head that it's lousy and I shouldn't think that way. Perhaps I'll try it.....hmmm let me check his text...ok it's called FITVINE wines. I'm going to google it and get the scoop0 -

Not solid numbers due to illness, but will endeavor to maintain until St. Patrick's Day. Worried it will all blow up and I'll be back to my starting weight. Still coughing enough to make exercise extremely difficult. Will focus extra hard on food choices, though I'm craving more as I feel better.0 -
Weighed myself this morning and the scale went down down to 179.4. I don't think I will meet my goal but st. Patty's day but some progress is better than none! 0

Hang in there. This chalenge is but one of many here on MFP. Stick with it!0 -
I exercised 6/7 days this week 0

Had red robin for the first time for dinner. Proud to say I resisted getting what I really wanted (a juicy bacon cheeseburger) and got the turkey burger wrapped in lettuce instead. It was still really good! Proud of myself. It was hard to do, especially watching my fiancé eat this barbecued bacon cheeseburger. I just had a few extra fries instead! #everylittlestepcounts
I also stayed under my calorie goal today and reached 12,000 steps!0 -
That is great! I know that restaurants are my biggest challenge. If I decide what to have before I go and never look at the menu once I am there, I do better.kirstendawm wrote: »Had red robin for the first time for dinner.

My check in that I lost 2 lbs this week. Only had the chance to exercise once but I stayed within my calories all week. My goal of 5 lbs by St Patricks Day has been met!!

I have to admit I'm kind of chickening out. I had a goal of less than 200 by 3/17 (3/19 for real) so I can weigh less and look better in the dress than when I got married 11 years ago. I'm pretty much just below my wedding weight now, but I can't bring myself to try on that dress again. What if it doesn't fit, what if I look like a sausage in it? What if my weight then is not the number in my head? What if I was much thinner then? Does that mean I looked that bad at the time and nobody told me? I might be close in weight but I have no idea how I'm doing in terms of size, body proportion. Other than that dress, I have nothing fitted from that time. Sure I have tee shirts, jackets, pjs, etc but nothing without some stretch or that I wore loose back then.0

Sickness has hit me too. A solid week of it. Keep up the good work and listen to your body. Don't over do!!!0
