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!

Good work! @Cloverdoll and @jenn990205

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.

Challenge #1 ~ Sleep

10h! - Tuesday (8:30pm) Don't know why I was so sleepy, but obviously needed the rest.
7h - Wednesday (1am)
9h - Thursday (10:30pm)
6h30m ~ Friday 11/23 (11:40pm)
6h30m ~ Saturday 11/24 (12:30am)
7h20m ~ Sunday 11/25 (11:40pm)
7h30m ~ Monday 11/26 (11:45pm)
4h19m ~ Tuesday 11/27 (11:55pm) Woke up at 7:14am - active mind, restless night
8h30m ~ Wednesday 11/28 (10:30pm) Magnesium oil!
7h30m ~ Thursday 11/29 (11:30pm)

Challenge #2 ~ Water

11/30 - 96.9ozs, +39ozs other fluids
12/1 - 68 ozs, +18ozs other fluids
12/2 - 112ozs, +36ozs other fluids
12/3 - 112 ozs, +36ozs other fluids
12/4 - 128.9 ozs, +41ozs other fluids.
12/5 - 144 ozs, +62ozs other fluids
12/6 - 112oz, +60ozs other fluids

●Totals:
▪773.8 ounces of water
▪292 ounces other fluids
■1,065.8 ounces of fluids
Averaged 152 ounces of fluid a day! I DO drink a lot of water, but I think my normal average per day is probably around 80- 90 ounces. Cold weather and slight cold and sore throat was the driving force behind that number.

I keep my daily water totals here

Challenge #3 ~ Breathe /deep breathing

12/7 - Probably not even 1 minute, but I did it.
12/8 - 3 minutes, holding breathe for a count of 10. Every time I retrain for deep breathing, I notice that I yawn a LOT. I'll add on to tomorrow's post if I do another session tonight.
12/9 - 4 min

12/10 - 2 min
12/11 - 5 min
12/12 - 3 min, twice
12/13 - 5 min
I always breathe through my nose, just need to focus on breathing deeper for longer each day.

12/14 - Raked leaves, yard cleanup for 60 minutes.

pioneerrose

I’m in. I need all the support I can get. I will do my best to support all of you too. Goal 190. So that is 2 lbs a week.

My challenge for the week...be kind to 3 strangers per day. Just a complement is all it takes.

deepwoodslady

Thank goodness Tish mentioned being able to break the cardio up into segments. Even with all my shopping, running and working I have been able to fit in 3 10 minute segments per day of aerobic dancing. All it takes is 2 to 3 songs and it's fun!

December 14= 30 minutes
December 15= 30 minutes
December 16= 30 minutes

I have a doc appt on Wednesday. I can't remember if she told me I needed to drop 10% by our next meeting or if that's a number I had come up with, either way... I'm falling short of it as 10% would be 290. I am however only 11 lbs from that today so I've come really close. I've been at this a full month today and my grand total loss is 21.4 lbs! That's an entire bag of kitty litter, plus a bit! I am so close and SO ready to be out of the 300s! A number I had once hoped to have never seen.

Cardio update
1 he 50 mins
@deepwoodslady inspired me to dance!
Looked up Zumba Gold on YouTube, did 38-40 mins FUN!
Then looked up Lisa Sansone which many had mentioned. Did 10 minute HIIT (was awesome! And 5 min belly buster Ditto. Then a little yoga stretching. Then saw my steps under 10K so hubby & I took a 2 to 2.3 mile walk!

Total 111 mins of exercise not including the yoga/stretching.

Thanks for this Challenge @tiabirdie56 !
You are changing lives!

GrandmaJackie

@MadisonMolly2017, @deepwoodslady, you both are doing a fabulous job. I’ve tried to get into Zumba but have 2 left feet, lol. I loveeeeee you guys have found an exercise you 💕

December 4~176.6 (So annoyed. Definitely should be lower. I’ve been so good about my calories )
12/11~ 172.8 (HECK YEAH BOIS)
12/18~ 170.6 (Only mad because I weighed in .4lbs lower the last two days, but also I have the world's most obnoxious cold right now so maybe that's part of it I DUNNO)

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.

Thank goodness Tish mentioned being able to break the cardio up into segments. Even with all my shopping, running and working I have been able to fit in 3 or more 10 minute segments per day of aerobic dancing. All it takes is 2 to 3 songs and it's fun!





Cardio Record:
December 14= 30 minutes
December 15= 30 minutes
December 16= 30 minutes
December 17= 40 minutes

Oh it most certainly is a part of it! I'm sick as well, we both have inflammation processes going on courtesy of our immune systems...and water is needed for that inflammation!

12/11~240.2 I was in Mexico for most of this last week. I am still retaining water like crazy. I can’t put my rings on!
12/18~234.8 I am sick, but still working a plan. My cardio has been coughing fits for days. I know, that doesn’t count…but cardio is out of the question at the moment.

@DebCountsAll Being sick is awful. Hoping we can get better soon! I'm trying to enjoy the holidays and get back in the gym!
