I hear you Jesse, my body has had me down for three days this week with the flu and just feeling run down. My weight has actually gone up a little this week, but I am going to try and nip that in the butt this weekend. It is supposed to be a nice weekend here and I have already taken advantage of it by getting a walk in. i am also going to hit the gym later. You can find the exercises ion youtube if you want to try Last Chance Workout, but if you are feeling run down, i would skip it this week and I will repost with better links next week. Have a great weekend!!look great sorry i wasn't around to participate more this week at work has been challenging for me, plus I have been extra kinda tired this week, not use to being so down0 -
Ugg this week i think just about everyone on the team has been feeling ill. I know that I haven't been as active and haven't felt like eating much at all. The annoying thing is I haven't felt terrible but the damn thing seems to just linger. I'm going to give the last chance my best effort tomorrow and try to get a good walk in today.
Hope everyone feels better and has a good weekend.0 -
I was able to get 1.8 miles of my 3 mile run today, Tomorrow is my anniversary, I was 250.4 this morning. I am really praying fingers crossed for that magic 249 tomorrow. We will see. I think the cold weather switch is what got me. Went from one level of cold to another. Tomorrow is a new day. For me its a celebration 6 years married.0

Yesterday was horrible for me, I rushed around all day from one thing to another and ended up giving into a craving for McDonalds, then ended up at dinner with friends. Calorie wise the McDonalds through me over. I did get new running gear, its been so cold I haven't been able to run in the morning. Its hard enough to get motivated but with the weather change it was near impossible. I have to run at 5am to get it in and its been about 19 degrees in the mornings here lately.
I'm excited to get a run in today, and judging by yesterdays intake I better make it a loooong one.0 -
Good evening ladies:
Sorry I have not be very active this week, between the flu which had me dragging butt and then yesterday trying to catch up, I blew out my good knee. I am in so much pain and I knew better. I have a lot of fluid on the knee, tired walking some of it off today, but it didn;t work actually made it worse. I am going to try and hand bike tonight, but seriously don't know if I am going to get to it because between the pain and the feeling blah, i just don;t have the energy. i was really discouraged when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw a 2 pound gain, but I know that is the fluid. Ugh..praying next week is better. For anyone in the path of tornadoes, i pray you all remain safe and sound!! Have a good night!!

awe tammie, I am so sorry to hear about your knee. will be praying for you. I know that cna't be easy.
today has been food temptation like crazy, between my sister getting engaged, a birthday party for a family friends 6 year old son and with hubby and I going out for desert after our movie tonight, I have had to fight the inner beast all the way.0 -
I'm pretty sure Tammy and her hubby are trying to kill me the last chance work completed! I pretty much spread it out all day in between chores I had to youtube quite a few and a couple I had to "wing". The Burpees at the end were especially evil :devil:
Can't wait to see how what diabolical thing you guys whip up next week.
I'm very sorry about your knee I hope you and the rest of our ill team feel better soon. I'm pretty good I just have this dry cough that won't go away. on the plus side my water drinking is up0 -
Weight: 250
Not a bug loss but after 2 weeks of big losses I'll take it!0 -
Weight Week 5: 163.8 lbs, down 2.2lbs
Haven't had a chance to complete the last chance workout yet, but I will be doing it tonight.0 -
Glad you enjoyed. I am actually getting it in tonight because I am feeling better and I am a couple of pounds. Hopefully his will help shed. We will try our best to come up with something fun..(hehehee)I'm pretty sure Tammy and her hubby are trying to kill me the last chance work completed!

Good evening Ladies:
Thanks to all that have gotten their weights in, but I am missing quite a few. We did lose one lady last week. i hoping the rest of us stick through. I know that we will all have good and bad weeks, please do not get discouraged if your weight goes up or stays the same, that is what we are here for, to encourage you. We are all human and things happen., I am up this week, but I am waiting for the morning praying it will be down a little. i hit the gym and did an hour on the elliptical and then walked for a 1/2 hour burning just under 1000 calories, but you can't make up for a whole week in two days and I know that. So I am just going to keep pushing forward and know that I will get there.
My knee would not let me do LAST CHANCE WORKOUT, but for those of who did..AWESOME!!! I am going to fit in next week along with another one!! Have a great night ladies. I will be sending emails to all who have not weighed in. Keep rocking ladies!!
GO GREEN TEAM GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I already sent a message to Tammie, but figured I should post here, too. There was no change in my weight this week. I started out the week slowly after falling off the wagon a bit and struggled with the same 2 pounds all week. I'm back on track now with a new workout plan (30-day shred + Ripped in 30 + treadmill walking) and I'm excited for the new week!
Good job everyone!0 -
Stay positive Allie. You will get there. Start of slow and build, you may be trying to do too much too fast and trust me your body will hate you for it. Push a little past your limits, but don't hurt yourself. It will all eventually catch up. I have found on my journey that any time I change up a plan whether exercise or diet, it takes my body about a month to catch up, so give yourself a month. Track measurements as well as weight.

Thanks Tammie! I've been trying not to be discouraged by the scale because I've lost 24 inches from my body in the last 6 weeks and that's huge. The scale just hasn't quite caught up yet.

You are absolutely right. you will see a big drop in the next couple of weeks I bet. That is an awesome inch loss, be proud in that!!

Good morning Ladies:
I am so glad that I waited until this morning to weigh in. I was weighing in at 186.7 all week , which was last week's weigh in, although at one point last week I weighed in at 184.6, but this morning 184.1 (woohoo). I also had lost another 1" off my waist, which puts me at 12" off the waistline..wow a whole foot. That is why I always measure plus weigh because sometimes that scale just doesn't catch up to what the rest of your body is doing. People see inches lost not so much pounds. Have a fabulous day!!

Good I'm glad it was yummy seemed really good for the cold weather but I'm always up for a soup or stew.
Weighed in this morning
last week 179.4
current 178.0
A little disappointed numbers were a lot lower earlier in the week thought I was going to make 3 lbs but ol well. Sorry I was late I already messaged Tammy but needed to post here too.0 -
Tammie, I'm glad I'm not the only one who measures, despite this week being a slow week for me, I did loose another inch off of my monsterous thighs lol and I'm starting to notice my arms thining out more and more. Today I started a new routine. On the days I don't run I will be doing 77 minutes of fitness blender videos. With the busiest week of the year aprpoaching me at my job fingers crossed, I am so afraid of falling of the wagon.
I really don't know how to eat and prep for what starts on this Sunday. Sunday I am off, Monday 10-5, Tuesday off, Wednesday 10-5 Thursday 8pm to 2am then Friday 9am-9pm then Saturday 8-5 Sunday 8-5 oh, any idaes on surviving the holidays ladies??
We have all this week before the week of thanksgiving and I am nervous....
The good news. I run my first 5k this coming Sunday and am hoping to do it under 38 minutes.
Thanksgiving morning I am running another 5k as well.
Its the 8pm to 2am shift thanksgiving day followed by the 9am-8pm shift that friday that scares me, how do i eat for that, water etc.0 -

Just do the best you can. Try to leave enough room in your day to eat something between 8pm and midnight if you feel like you'll need it and pack an entire day worth of meals/snacks, if possible, for your 9am-8pm shift. And yes, water. I'm sure you'll do just fine and good luck!!0 -
I had to measure because I was doing a lot of lifting and it was making my weight look insane. Trainer said take measurements and you will see you are making a difference. She was right. Try to pack in some protein like string cheese and fruit snacks especially grapefuit (low cal and will help cut the fat in some of teh food you eat). Do not go hungry that is when we bing. Try to make your snack packs up on Sunday. I am going to look for some low fat low cal recipes for Thansgiving to post. I am gong to try to a Thanksgiving dinner that will come in around 500 calories. Have a great week. Good luck on your 5k. I am hoping to a 5k on Thanksgiving too.Tammie, I'm glad I'm not the only one who measures, despite this week being a slow week for me, I did loose another inch off of my monsterous thighs lol and I'm starting to notice my arms thining out more and more.
