Bikini Mission!
Do not worry at all …when you first started the chart I was thinking man this woman must have a lot of time on her hands! So don’t worry we will all keep going and post our weights at the end…
I am just so happy you started the challenge!!!! No need to apologize or feel bad!!!0 -
We also need people to let the newbies know the new challenge for the week. I've seen some still think it's the one with chocolate.
Challenge this week was 50 sit-ups a day0 -
I agree with the other posters..dont worry!! That was definitly too much to take on!
So week two-sit ups, no problem.
The choclate challenge, well, I have sort of modified it for me. I do have choclate when it is in my protein bar or protein powder. But other than that I'm not eating choclate. My personal goal is to stay away from all sweets....at least for awhile. We have Thanksgiving the second weekend in October so I know there will be dessert there....going to try to make it until then!!!!!!
This is a great challenge and so motivating! I'm so happy with myself for starting this and doing something about losing weight way before Christmas!!!
have a great weekend everyone! And good luck with the challenge!0 -
Christmas Challengers!
I have a problem --- there are now so many of you that I literally don't have time to make the charts every week.
I feel horrible about this, I have a full time job and study 2 nights a week so when started the group I envisaged maybe 20 or so challengers and thought I'd be able to make a snazzy chart in my lunch hour one or two days a week. However there are currently over 100 of us and the group is still growing! I've been working on the chart for my last two lunch breaks and am nowhere near finishing! I've recently moved house and havent got internet set up yet so I haven't been able to work on this in the evenings either. It just seems to take forever to transfer all the details across and then make sure everything is correct plus add all of you new members and work out what week you're all working on. As the weeks go on and more people join/leave I can only imagine that the time needed will increase and I think I need to admit defeat on the chart front right now!
I'm really sorry, I HATE to let you all down when we have such a good group going!! I hope that the challenge can continue without weekly charts though - there'll still be a weekly challenge and we'll still post our results but instead of a weekly chart I'll make one at the very end so we can compare starting weights with finishing weights and have a leaderboard and special mentions, challenge highlights etc. all as originally planned.
Does this sound ok? I hope everyone will still stick with the Christmas Challenge and keep posting their results, stories, encouragement and anything else they'd like to share despite not being able to see their results on a nice chart every week!
Thanks for being such a great group!
P.S. On the off-chance that anybody else would like to attempt the charts each week you are more than welcome, I wish it could be me!
fine with me! that is way too much work!!!
one sugesttion i have is to see people's progress weekly is to have everyone post (each week):
start weight:
week one weigh in:
week two weigh in:
week three weigh in:
etc.
until the 14 weeks are up. that way we can see how even a gain one week isn't the end of the world or how quickly all those half pound weight loss adds up.

Well I failed and had chocolate towards the end of week 1, totally forgot about the challenge, was only a couple of squares of good quality dark chocolate, but still!!!
I did lose 1lb last week though and 1.5lb this week, so still on track0 -

I like that idea!
That's how I post it in most boards. Really happy to go back with that.0 -
Don't feel bad about it. You did a great job just starting the challenge. Everyone is so supportive and what is good about this challenge is that it is "doable", its not such an impossible challenge that you feel you want to give up after a couple of weeks. Thank you.0

Awww! Bikinimission! Dont worry at all!
I love the idea that godblessourhome has, where we put in our starting weight, and then the weight of each week. Plus we can add our goal weight and how we did with the challenge that week~
This challenge has definitely been successful and I am surprised as well at how many challengers we have! I think its great for support and motivation, and we can definitely keep track of our own weights and post them, and at the end we can do a final board with the starting numbers and final numbers and we can all help with the charts!
*hugs! Youve done great so far! Now you can focus on the boards and not so much on making this monster chart with everyone's info!0 -

yesterday went 610 calories over my 1200 budget........I have to explain about the mcflurry, I know it's not a good excuse, but I had a 13 min break at job. Worked from 4:30 pm til 10:15 pm. NOT COMPLAINNG AT ALL...we were slammed...they had me in several places throughout the day...drive thru taking both orders and cash...then a few hours later switched me from drive thru to taking orders in the lobby....then after a lil bit switched me back over to drive thru...me personally i prefer drive thru over ANYTHING ELSE there....I'M LOVING IT....LOL...so after i got off work, one of my friends wanted a mcflurry....SOOOOO I decided you know that sounds like a great way to end my day...lol...so i got snack size Reese's flurry.
Then, when I get home my buddy had BBQ and I just COULD NOT say no to that...lol....I didn't even bother counting...didn't bother measuring or ANYTHING...LOL...anyways i can just count this day as ONE of my cheat days....lol...AFTER ALL my cheat days is the weekend...lol
