@tiabirdie56, these are the challenges I’m going to revisit, thanks brilliant idea for this week. Plus my main focus is going to try NOT to snack at night. If I need to have an apple or fruit, it’s healthier than the cookies my husband is eating NOW, lol.

jenn990205

My name is Jenn I have 5 kids (1st one just left for college this year and another one that will be leaving next year). I am 39 and married to an amazing man. I work full time and have very little time to work out. Hopefully once the younger kids 10 and 13 get a little older, I will have more time. Right now I focus on eating right and maybe two to three times a week getting 45 minutes or so of cardio.

Beginning Weight ~ 175-178
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 155.3
Challenge Goal Weight ~ 135
My weigh in days will be Friday (these are usually my lowest weights, lol)


November 20, 2018 ~ 155.3
11/23 ~ 157.8 day after Thanksgiving uugggh
11/30 ~ 153.8 that looks better
December 7 ~ 152.3 I thought this week I would have been lower. Did really well. Not a drop of alcohol, clean eating, lots of water, and everything. I just don't think my body can lose 2 pounds a week no matter what. I am getting closer to my goal weight, so maybe that's why to. I am proud that I stuck to my plan this week and am down 1.5 pounds, so I'll take it!
12/14 ~ 151.1 Going in the right direction for sure. Hopefully we can keep this pattern going!
12/21 152.8 And I am back up again,lol. I'm holding on for dear life for December. I am still down 1 pound this month and that maybe all I get.
12/28 ~ 152.3 Going back down. Had a lot to lose after Christmas though. One more holiday weekend and we are back on track. Happy New Year everyone!

I’m going to a Boot Camp class at my gym tomorrow, I’ve never went to one so I’ll see if I like it, lol.

tiabirdie56

@GrandmaJackie, Oh, have fun! I would LOVE to do a bootcamp workout! Pretty much its a ramped up circuit workout. I really am annoyed about my knee. It keeps me from doing the type of exercises I like and want to do.

178 showed up in the scale this morning. Thats what comes from eating at midnight! It should settle down in a couple of days. I'll be helping it along.

Challenge Starting Weight ~ 178.6

November 20, 2018 ~ 178.6
11/27 – 180.4 And a Happy Thanksgiving it was. But not such a healthy one. I celebrated all week and held or attended more than one dinner. Now, it’s back to the business of a newer and better version of me!

December 4 178.6 Exactly back to where I started which is a good thing. Now, to get this ball rolling!
12/11 180.4 Disappointed in my weight. Weighed very early due to long trip to University Hospital I am going to today. I will be gone 2 days. More restaurants and long car drives. I’m going to do my very best.
12/18 180.4 No change which I suppose is good during this month of festivities, out of town trips and food temptations. Lets remember to enjoy and appreciate the season, not just work, work, work. I am going to try to keep eating clean (at least while I am at home), get in my cardio and keep my Hallmark channel going 24/7.

New Challenge will be posted tonight.

Welcome! @AJB1014 and @eminater

tiabirdie56

My name is Tish
Challenge Starting Weight ~ 177.2
Challenge Goal Weight ~167 - 1/2 pound per week

November 20, 2018 ~ 177.2 - 42 lbs left to reach my ultimate goal. It was 40 lbs on Nov. 9th when 175 appeared, then was rudely replaced by 177. Lol. This number loves me.
11/27 ~ 178.8 - Been doing everything I should not the last 5 days; eating late in the day (8pm) eating bread, no electrolytes. One last croissant beckoning me today😊 and hopefully
it's over.
11/30 - 178.2 - Lol. Looks like I lost weight. Not. I prefer Wednesday's weight, 174.8😅 but obviously not that much since I ate pretzels last night. Keto carb havoc!
December 4 - 😒 178.8 - That's rough , but better than yesterday. I think I should post daily weights for December.
12/11 - 176.6 - Forgot it was weigh in day. By no means was this a linear loss. I was December 4 weight again yesterday!
12/14 - 175.4 - Gotta post my own good report. I almost don't believe it. I was this weight once or twice during my traverse up and down the 170's since September! Praying it continues downward. I'm more than ready to be OUT of this decade! Doing EVERY THING RIGHT.
12/18 - 176.2 - My mac and cheese😁
12/25 - 174.8 - Eating carbs, up and down a smaller range of weights this past week.

12/31 - 175.8
January 1, 2019 - 178 😦

1/3 - 175.8 - Knee is behaving somewhat better and I exercised for the first time in a week yesterday. Found a few different rehab exercises online for knee and shoulders. I will include them in my strength and stretch workouts.

I don’t know that he will dance as often as I do, but I will gently encourage him daily and try to keep it interesting for him. He needs to lose more weight than me so this is important and I am thrilled!

01/02 - 15 minutes of arm weights. Slowly I will encourage my son to do this as well, but for now I don’t want to push too hard. He still gives up rather easily, but took the dancing like a champ!
