Sounds good looking foward to a great week I have a weigh in now on Mon and Fri so I will see how this works out!! I am looking at an extra way to keep me honest!!0
-
Yay for week 10!! I cant belive its been 10 weeks already. Once again I am debating when to weigh in again.. Thursday would be a week since last weigh in. or wait till I complete day 10 of Level 2
This challenge is definetely adding up!
I didnt do the challenges last night :grumble: but tonite I am holding myself accountable.
I completed Day #2 of Level 2 - my poor legs and arms lol
also walked with an incline off/on for 35 mins to burn 262 calories
We took the kids at my summer camp on a field trip today, so it involved lots of walking out in the heat! I'm sure that burned some extra calories
raindancer - Dont worry about the tacos. We're having some tomorrow so I will have to be very aware of what I put in them - and also keep it to a minimum of 2 or 3 if I can.
cnbethea - thats a great way to hold yourself accountable - weigh in Friday and Monday, it will show you how much you actually gained that weekend. Its a long weekend here this weekend (not sure if it is in the states?) so it will be another tough one for me0 -
Monday No challenge workouts!!
No eating out
H20 was great!!
Tuesday
25 pushups, leg lifts, crunches no squats and lunges

ate out (1 chicken soft taco al fresco) felt weak before aqua class
I am going to agua today for the 12th time this month. That completes my goal for July
I change my ticker to a goal of losing 6 lbs in August0 -
Ive decided to wait to weigh in... tomorrow would be a week since the last one.. BUT.. I can feel that good ol monthly friend arriving any day now which means I am bloated and feel gross!
Level 2 - day #3 complete of the shred! still not getting any easier on me.. this one is tough
Also completed run #1 of the couch to 5 k Week 2!0 -
I am right there with you Sundinsgurl I can tell because my water normally run right through me and today even though I had several cups I haven't gone much at all today :sad: sigh!!!
Today was my first time in the deep water aqua class Raindancer I don't know if you have to do it in your class or not but they made us wear one of those float belts and the instructor was like you have to wear it really tight and for some reason I think it was too tight I felt nauseous I enjoyed all the moves and can totally feel the work being done in the water I just think I could have enjoyed it more if the belt wasn't making me feel sick I was so glad I made it through the whole class without an accident.
Wed.
25crunches, pushups,leg raises, lunges,and squats.
2 F&V
12c H20
No eating out!!
Oh yeah one more thing Raindancer can you plz tell me how to do the the other ticker so I can create me one for August as well and how to change it each time if you don't mind!!0 -
Yeah! No TOM for 7 years. Menapause was breeze for me. Just some heat flashes but all good now.
cnbethea: http://www.tickerfactory.com/ezticker/ticker_designer.php
Here is the link to make a new ticker. You can do all kinds then just copy and paste into MFP singnature.
The agua class I take is just up to our arm pits. Lots of jumping.

I wish I didnt have the TOM.. thank goodness for Alleve lol
I completed Level 2 day #4 of the 30 Day Shred. It was very tough!!! I seriously wanted to cry.. it is a grueling 20 minutes
Also, did a 35 min walk on the treadmill (with some alternating incline levels)
than went out for a walk with a friend, it was nice to dog walk
probably around 30 minutes
Have really sucked at the challenges this week. I need to start not leaving it till the evening and especially before bedtime because than I never get around to it. That is my challenge from now on!0 -
Hey guys TOM has definitely kicked in and just think I peaked at the scale on yesterday morning I actually saw 159.6 and I know tomm it will be gone it totally suck because I haven't potty nearly as much today as normal so I know the water is just going to make me cry in the AM but I am going to get on there anyway!!
No workouts but I did manage to do the challenge ones right before this post so I got something in but not my normal activity level, day one of TOM always is a challenge for me to work out I still normally do something and today nothing just mall hoping with my hubby so I guess some walking would have been a great day to count steps but that's neither here nor there!!
Thurs.
25 crunches, pushups, lunges, squats, and leg raises
8 glasses oh H20
Ate out I tried the Apple pecan salad at Wendys only 580 in calories but the sodium was through the roof as if I needed that today!!
TGTIF!!! Make it great ladies I know I plan to!!
Thanks so much for the site Raindancer I am going to get over there and try to create me one for August!!0 -

Today was my last day of my month of work.. so now I am unemployed again. This sucks.. but on the brighter side I will have lots of time to work out. I have a job for Sept - with some training at the end of August. Its nice to know I have something to look forward to.It is a before and after school program so its weird hours 7-9am and 3-6pm. hopefully I can get something during the day for more hours.. if not I can exercise during the day with my free gym membership that is included becase I will be working for the YMCA.
raindancer - we will definetely miss you while you are away! But have a wonderful trip 0 -
Raindancer have a fun safe trip looking foward to your return on Wed.
Sundinsgurl way to go halfway there you rock!! It is nice to have something to look foward to and you have the time to rock out these next 15 days on the shred!! That's where I have my membership at the Y so you will have a great variety of classes and things to try hope your Y has Zumba you have to try it if you haven't already!!
Alright guys this weekend has been strange in the fact that I haven't done much on Friday I had a couple of glasses of wine no real workout and ate out still drank tons of water don't remember the amount of F&V!!
Sat. No challenge workouts No F&V plenty of H20 and I ate out!!
My goals for August to lose 8lbs
To go to the gym everyday except Sunday
M,W,F weight lifting
M- Kickboxing
T-Zumba
W-Bootcamp
Th-Cycling
F-Boot camp and Zumba circuit
S-Zumba
Elliptical for 10-15min each day
Complete my challenge workouts
Eat out no more than 5x's
Sundays maybe go for a walk or do yard work something creative!!0 -
wow cnbethea - that is a great workout shcedule for the month of August. I think if you stick to it you will see the pounds continue to come off.
I had a horrible long weekend eating wise... fun wise it was awesome!!! drank at home with the roomates on Friday (played darts and cards), Saturday went golfing for the first time ever.. we did 9 holes (didnt take a cart so the walking was at least some exercise). They said I played great for a first time golfer. Than at night went to our friends housewarming/birthday party. Sunday was a hungover day lol relaxed a lot - I had a soccer game (we lost 2-0). we stayed home and watched a movie. THan Monday (our extra day off since it was a Long weekend) we cleaned for the majority of the day. We cleaned out our spare room... got rid of junk.. vacuumed.. dusted and cleaned. We were probably cleaning for about 4 hours, if not more! Than went to our friends house for dinner.
I think I should come up with some kind of schedule to help me loose lots of weight this month.. since I will be off for about 3 weeks. I kind of have certain days planned with the shred and the couch to 5k. Everyday should be shred for another 15 days. And every mon, wed, fri its running/walking. I am hoping to get in at least 2 rollerblades a week... and 2 games of tennis.0 -
completed Level 2 day #6, and week 2 workout 3 - so now onto Week 3 for couch to 5K
It feels soo great to be back at it again. I feel so much happier and energetic - I dont know why I ever take a break from exercising lol Although some days (especially long weeknds) I just cant find the motivation0 -
HI!! I'm back.
We had a great time. Did some swimming and walking but no real structured exercise. I tried to watch what I ate. I did share a bag of sour cream and cheddar cheese chips. :sad:
You two really have great goals and plans for August. I need to make some more goals besides my 6 lbs. I'll think about it and come up with something.
I go for a MRI on my knee tomorrow. I went back to the doctor yesterday and he realized I had been in 5 times since Feburary for the same thing.
I plan to go to aqua tonight but I've done none of the challenges today.0 -
I completed Day #7 of Level 2, and went for a 22 min walk with my friend (with a few minute intervals of jogging)
raindancer - its soo nice to have you back:) we've missed ya. I hope your MRI goes well! Keep us updated - hopefully its not something too serious 0 -
Hey guys!!
Welcome back Raindancer I hope the MRI brings on a solution for your knee once and for all!!
What a week so far I didn't workout at all yesterday I had to do training for work and so I missed my Zumba class I made up for it today with Zumba, Abs&More and Boot Camp
I did the challenge workouts on Monday and I will get them in tonight. Water was good and F&V have been 3-5.
Sundinsgurl you have a great plan for this month and I can't wait to hear how things are going for you!!
I am trying to work it out I definitely don't want this to be a month where I go back and forth like I did all the previous months I want to go down down down!!0 -

VENTING!!!:explode: I hate being an emotional eater. Things are changing in my job and they have laid off several people.
I guess I dont have good coping skills because I got upset and ate 3 pieces of fried chicken and fries for lunch. No I don't feel better now I'm very sad and feel like crying for being so stupid... When do the lifetime changes kick in because I guess I missed that lesson. I am pissed off at myself0 -
Down 1.3 lbs since last weigh in... wohoo!! even though its only 1.3 lbs in 2 weeks. Personal comment coming - I havent gotten my monthly friend just yet.. I am not on the pill so its not a steady schedule but its usually pretty close to the first of the month. I am thinking that it might be because of the amount of exercise I have been doing late.
Completed Day #8 of Level 2.. only 2 more to go!!
also started C25K Week 3 today... slowly increasing my running time feels great
I am thinking we need to do something to spice up this challenge.. I think after 12 weeks we are getting bored of the same things each day. I just dont know what to do just yet.,...... I am finding myself lacking any motivation to do the challenges (which is NOT good) and I know only I can motivate myself to do it.
raindancer - dont worry about the fried chicken and fries.. its only one meal it wont mess up all your progress you've made this far. Try to get in some exercise in tonite and think about tomorow as a new day 0 -
I agree Sundinsgurl we can spice up the challenge activities with something new. Congrats on the weight loss you are on a roll keep up the awesome work!!!
Raindancer I am too a emotional and stress eater and believe me I wouldn't have just stopped at 3 pieces of chicken and fries so way to go on stopping there..........I think it is just pure will power and self determination that we have to find from somerwhere during those moments these last couple of times when I had something stressful I have been having self talks with myself and pretty much be like I am not going to let all these good days go down the drain because blah blah blah has pissed me off blah=what ever the present situation was at the time LOL!! I am going to eat my normal meals and I will not over indulge I found myself refamed from the kitchen or leaving the house but hey it worked so point being you have to find what works best for you and stick with it I know it sounds easier said than done and it is but you deserve it and it's what you have to do for you. You have been doing an awesome job and I know that one day wont mess you up so don't beat yourself up just hop back on track today and you will be good!! You can do it!!
Thursday I ate out today so that's 2 down and only 3 left for the month!! I had those hand dipped chicken tenders from hardee's so not worth one of my 5 days but oh well it's done now so I am going to be more selective with these next 3!!
5F&V challenge exercises complete and 12c H200 -
I feel much better today:embarassed:
I did make it to aqua last night. They incoporate some boxing moves. Poor water I beat the water out of it:laugh:
I did behave myself the rest of the evening. Youngest son had cooked for me so I did not dare skip dinner. It wasn't too bad. He tends to over use butter or I cant believe it not butter. I sure would not want to discourage him from cooking for me.
YES! please lets shake it up some. The list of challenges is so long I never get them all in, anymore. Lets just post our personal challenges. Then keep posting daily. I know I love the support.
Think of a new name and we will start a new thread and maybe get some people to join in.
Sundinsgur: Great loss. :flowerforyou: The new picture is awesome.
Cnbethea: love the dog. great soulful eyes.0 -
Raindancer that sounds like a plan!!
I am looking foward to Zumba tomm plus some walking I brought me some sketcher shape ups I can't wait to see what they do for me!!0 -
Noooooooo Zumba yesterday:sad: I did get to walk in my shape ups I can definitely tell my posture is bad my lower back could feel it so I know it needs some work I walked pretty slow because that's what the book reccommended to get use to the walking pattern with them but today I am going to step it up I think i got the stride down now:bigsmile: Plus Zumba at 2 yay!!0
-
Okay I am hoping this week will bring me great joy I am hoping by Friday the scale will be in the 150's I am going to try to change up activity a lil from the routine I set at the beginning of the month I think I am going to add in some interval training so here is my plan for this week!! I think maybe doing week by week will be better as we know things do come up and that way I wont feel like I am letting myself down!!
Aug 9th - Aug 15th
Monday 30 mins Abs & More 60 min Kickboxing and 15 min Interval training and weights
Tuesday 60 min Zumba
Wed 45 min bootcamp and 15 min interval training maybe weights
Thurs 60 min Zumba
Fri 60 min Zumba circuit w/weights and 30 mins abs&more 15 min Interval training
Sat - walk
Sun - walk
So are we going to create a new group this week to generate more people or how are we going to do it?0 -
Another weekend has come and past..
Friday I had a friend come up for to a visit - we went out for lunch and a few beverages (ok more than a few lol) but I did get Day #9 of the shred in and a 30 min rollerblade. We went camping that evening (which resulted in more booze and junk)
Saturday was a relaxing day... (not so well eating wise. had Taco Bell and chicken fingers)
Sunday played baseball and soccer.. but than the b.f really badly wanted to order Chinese Food. So of course there is leftovers for dinner tonight.
In the end I know it wont help with weight loss... but at least I am working out... it could be worse I could be eating out all the time and not exercising at all.
I completed Day # 10 of the Shred just now.. so that means I am all done with Level 2!! Wohooooo and onto Level 3 tomorrow, very very very nervous because Ive heard its tough. But Jillian almost made me cry in the beginning of Level 2 - so I wont be shocked if that happens in Day #1 of level 3 too0 -
cnbethea: Looks like you have a good plan for your activities this week. I think this way will really be better.
Sundinsgurl: there is a thin line between living healthy and having fun. Just find a balance and have fun . You'll be old soon enough and you don't want any regrets.
I found out I have something torn in my knee...:laugh: There goes that memory again. They told me not 30 mins ago.
also a bakers cyst and bursitis. They are sending me to a surgeon. Hopefully he'll get it fixed fast.
Help me think of a new name for our group.0 -
cnbethea - i must have just been your post earlier today because you were typing it while I was typing mine. You have a very oganized schedule full of Zumba and other exercises. I think it will help you reach that pivotal point you want - in the 150's. I know you can do it!!
raindancer - I am sorry to hear about your knee. At least you have finally found out what is wrong with it. Do you get to see a surgeon soon?
Now for a new group name... should we keep the biggest loser in it somehow..
- Biggest Loser Fun
- Friends to help you loose
- We are the biggest losers
ummm.... thats all I've got for now lol
I completed my 2nd run on Week 3 of C25K... once again felt great 0 -
This is what I say about trying to have an schedule somehow things just happen to come up uggghhhh!! So instead of kickboxing I walked the dogs 30 min and did day 1 of 30 day shred again lol I am trying to do it again I will complete this workout for 30 days I can do it man it's only 20 mins.!! For my interval training I did the elliptical 5 min warm up then 2 min level 5 and 2 min level 10 for a total of 20 mins. Hopefully the rest of the week will go as plan just addining in the shred each day!!
Sundinsgurl Great job sticking with the shred and the C25K your doing awesome!!
Raindancer glad you know what is actually wrong with your knee and can finally get it fixed once and for all!! So that will be good and I am hoping for a speedy recovery!!
A name for the group could be:
The new and improved biggest losers!!
Fit and Fab biggest losers
Up and coming Skinny Minnies!!
Making weightloss dreams come true!!
Well there is a few off the top of my head0 -
Dont get too frustrated cnbeathea - at least u did some exercise! Way to go with day #1 of the shred.. I know you can do it this time!!! I can help keep you accountable if you'd like. And if you miss a day or two than just get right back at it and you will get through it. It helps having MFP and being in a group with people who are doing the shred (started around the same time as me)- because I know that I have to come on here and say if I didnt do it.. or its a reward to come on here after and say Wohoooo I completed Day #_ level _
I like all the suggestions you gave us cnbethea.... pick anyone you like raindancer
Completed Week 3 of C25K - movin on up to week 4
Also, did day #1 of level 3 today - it was definetely a tough workout but I made it!0
