Modern Day Pin-up Girls - WEEK 1 (New Group)

cathcakey

Woooooow - check out our combined weight!! Hehehe
Man am I gonna ache tomorrow - just got back from a 12Km run. Think that might just be the longest one I've ever done!

My 3 goals for this week:
- log EVERYTHING I eat as I've been especially slack with this the last few weeks
- do two recovery runs in the next three days, then 10Km race on Sunday
- avoid snacking on crap and get my protein levels up by going back to having protein shakes between meals (2 goals in 1)

Hope you've all had a great day

By the way what is the elliptical? And do you know where I can get any of the dvds you all mention - 30 day shred etc? Maybe an online website or a company that ships? Ta x

Namita me too!!!! I want to know what the Elliptical is...... and I also want to know how I may get my hands on these amazing vids everyone talks about.......

( I am currently doing a law degree and a bus degree here in Australia!!!! how awsome you are a lawyer! you are such an inspiration)

I just started a new league on Introplay.com.

Basically you join a league (the one I started begins on 9/6, ends on 10/4, and is open to anyone) and you just log in all the exercise you do. You get points based on each exercise. The league gets split into teams and you compete to see which team can get the most points. I think it's fun and it motivates me to do maybe some extra pushups here or situps there to earn some extra points. Please join!!!

Once you create a profile, on the left under your little calender, you'll see the open league called 'Pin-up Girls'

Hope you guys join!! :flowerforyou:

ok I have already set up my profile and joined the league. I even logged my exercise for today just so I get into the habit. I think this will be fun!

My three goals for the week:
- Walk the dog every day - no dog parks!!
- No meat (My husband is out of town and I want to see how it feels to be a vegetarian!)
- Nothing but water to drink, with the exception of my gross Grapefruit juice

Today I started Week 8 Day 1 of Insanity - It's my last week of round 1!!!

After I finished it up and I'm taking a month off from Insanity and going to do Brazil Butt Lift. Debating if I should do Hip Hop Abs along with it. Both programs are only a month long. Just that some days I will have to do 4 days in one day.

I was doing Insanity w/ Brazil Butt Lift and I was doing pretty good with it until I had a house full of family members, so I had to stop BBL because I would be rude of me to kick out my family out of the house for two hours lol

Oops, just realised I typed my start weight in wrong... it was supposed to be 140.4, not 140.04. Sorry!

Hello lovely pin-ups!

How did we do with day 1 of our 3 goal challenge.

I got in a 5 km run last night. It felt great. I am on a comeback after a running injury so I walked for 5 minutes as a warm up and then ran 6 - 5 minute intervals with 1 minute walks in between. I'm so proud of myself it's been a long summer with no running. My hip is letting me know that it was worked last night.

I also tracked all my food and got in 11 glasses of water. It was really hot and humid here so that helped.

Have a great day ladies.

I had a hard time finding it too. You have to look almost to the bottom of your page after you log in and you will see where it says open leagues and it will have pin-up girls underneath that and you click JOIN.

My name is Katie and I am from Ontario, Canada. My goal is to hit 135 so that I am in a healthy range for my height.

I have been monitoring more of my food intake and I've joined a couple of ultimate frizbee leagues.

My downfall has to be ice cream. I absolutely love it.

Personal about me: My boyfriend of two and half years broke up with me earlier this month. I still want him back and right now, I am not giving up my hope for that to happen. I wanted to marry him so it's be a stressful time the last little bit (resulting in lack of food, energy and sleep).


My goals for this week are to:
1. Drink more water
2. Start getting my food intake back to what it was before my depression hit
3. Attempt to enjoy myself this weekend on the camping trip (hopefully no crying will be involved).


I joined the league as well

I just started a new league on Introplay.com.

You guys are going to love me this weekend lol. I think I'll have about 25 hours of dancing this weekend. I'll probably log that as 17 actual dancing hours though This sounds like fun, we should get other MFP groups to do it!

Yayyyeeeee Happy Friday Eve!!! I joined the IntroLeague group and I'm "BringinSexyBack" hehe. Today I feel absolutly FABULOUS and I can't wait to get on the scale tomorrow!!!

My three goals are
*To get to my pre-baby weight
*Make my bike riding a normal part of my workout routine (so maybe 3x a week)
*Try to eat breakfast within the first hour of waking up (I'm never hungry for it in that first hour but I realize that is when it's most beneficial)

I hope something happens today to cheer you up! :flowerforyou:

CakeFit21

Good morning!

I just wanted to check in :flowerforyou:

I actually felt accountable yesterday. I am usually pretty good about tracking and everything, but yesterday I was DILIGENT about the three goals I set for myself. I went to sleep feeling like I stayed on top of everything and not like I slacked off like I sometimes do. I have joined challenges before and literally forgotten them as quickly as I joined, I also have not seen any weight loss for months. Now is time for change! Thanks Pin-ups!

I have a new goal: Eat most of my calories early in the day so I'm not making bad choices at the end.

Also, INSANITY is arriving today! I'm very excited and very scared.

RachVR6

My bf and I aren't getting along too well today and I think that's why. I'm having my cell phone shut off because I want to switch to a cheaper provider so I'm going to go without for a few weeks til I can afford to buy one of their phones. I think it'll be kind of nice to be shut off from the world a little bit (and my bf). I told him if he needs to get ahold of me he'll have to come find me. :laugh:

I have just signed up as well! I am having a day off from exercise today but I will definately be logging my exercise tomorrow!

cathcakey

I'm in a cruddy mood too!!
I made a nice dinner for my boyfriend & ran around tidying before he got home, expecting for him to get home early, just like he said, but instead he went out for a drink with his friend and didn't bother to tell me.
Giving him some major silent treatment at the moment...
On the plus side, I did good portion control and am planning on getting an early night!

Hope you all had a great day and met all your goals

I can't wait until Insanity 2 (Asylum) comes out...Next Fall!!!!

I'm 31 and I've been trying to get pregnant for 8 months. I'm pretty frustrated with that, so I figured I would take that frustration and put it to good use to get into shape. If I can't be a mommy, I'll be hot and sexy.

Hi Ladies,

My name is Ionara and I live in San Diego. My goal is to get away from the 186 that has been haunting me for the past year and get back to my healthy weight of 136-138. I need to loose 50 pounds and simply feel better about myself every day instead of dreading getting dressed for work or play.

I am staying to my caloric intake, drinking water, water, water (my eyeballs are floating) and walking for an hour each night. My knees are bad from the pounding they took while I was in the Marine Corsp.

I am a HUGE chocaholic and love bread...it is my absolute downfall...along with ice-cream, cookies...heck anything sweet!

I am the mother of two wonderful twin girls who think I am lava hot but they love me so what else can they say? I want to be healthy and strong to be around with them for many years to come but if these past three days have been hard I can't imagine how much harder it is going to be and wonder if I can stick with it. Wish it was jusr as hard to put it on as it is to take it off...

Glad to be in the group and amencouraged by all your responses

Hi all! I was stoked to find such a killer group of supportive ladies here and would be thrilled to join you if you'll take me.....pretty please with a cherry on top!?! :flowerforyou:

About me....

1) My two primary goals are to...a) feel confident in a bathing suit (I was there once, but can't even recall what it felt like anymore).....and b) be able to go on long hikes with my hubby and friends without being the 'dead weight' of the group (hence the profile pic of me after a hike that nearly killed me---MOTIVATION!.) I think I'd like to get down to around 120-125 lbs, but feeling healthy and confident is much more important to me than seeing any particular number on the scale.

2) Right now I'm trying to burn off about 750 Calories a day (except Sundays, when I allow myself an 1800 Cal day of whatever it is I've been dying for all week). I usually shoot for consuming 1300-1400 Cals Mon-Sat and a one-hour walk. I'd like to start doing some strength training and get back into yoga, but for some reason I just haven't been able to find the motivation to move any faster than a walk yet.

3) My downfalls are BAKED GOODS....mmmmm.....I'm salivating just thinking of those sweet fluffy old "friends" of mine. I LOVE to bake. My grandma got me started helping her roll breadsticks and measure sugar as soon as I crawled out of the cradle, so for me baking is nostalgic and food is love. I can never totally part with my pastries, but I'd like to get to a point where I can eat ONE and feel satisfied, rather than gobbling the entire batch and still wanting more. We can dream, right?

4) About me....I'm a newlywed (sorta...soon to be 2 years) and live with my husband in Quito, Ecuador. Believe it or not, I'm still adjusting to the role of wifey and recently realized that I was losing myself in our relationship. We were becoming one of those joined at the hip couples, and I was beginning to realize that there was no more "me" in my mind, just "us," and that is definitely not healthy. Soooo, long story short, I've decided to spend more time taking care of ME, and this is one big part of it!

I know you all are going to be an amazing support group, so thanks in advance for being so awesome! :happy:

Yep I'm the heaviest!!! heheheheh DOH!

Hey all my lovely gorgeous pin up ladies,

So I'm in a much better mood today than I was last night. My boyfriend, to be fair to him, felt like a complete jerk and couldn't stop apologising last night (he cycles everywhere and so when I can't get hold of him on the phone my first thought is that he's under a truck somewhere...). He got some major silent treatment and I very nearly threw his dinner in the bin (ha - do you get the idea I don't stand for people treating me crappy?!)

Anyhoo, today is a whole new day. I am working all day today, which means a lot of hours on my feet in the kitchen. I have 3 extra private cake orders on top of my normal weekend orders, so lots to do! It's actually turning out to be a pretty nice day in London today so I might take some time out in a little bit and go for a walk to the shops to get some lunch. Maybe sushi.
Exercise today isn't really gonna happen (apart from the walk). My foot is really aching from my long run on Wed night. I've upped my mileage pretty quickly and with the 10Km race coming up on Sunday I don't wanna push it into being a stress fracture or other injury.
(By the way I am a TERRIBLE patient - I used to treat so many people with the same injuries that I have/had but I just can't take a dose of my own medicine!....bad physio...!)

Oooh I also joined the league!

Ok enough rambling

Have a fabulous Friday

xx

Aaaah, but just think how good it's gonna feel when you're losing more than all of us!!

I had a rough night. Didn't eat much all day and then had a migraine all evening/night. So bad I it made me sick. So, I was up all night puking and crying, just wishing my head would stop throbbing. My headache's gone now but I'm just feeling a little weak. Trying to recover today.

Ready to go home and burrow under my covers!
