Week 6, "H20" Lose 20 Pounds by Halloween Challenge.

AprilVal

Hey Ladies & Gents.. Here we are at week 6. Wow.. Time is flying by.

Newbies: Feel free to join in at anytime.. To join leave a little introduction, Your current weight, and join in.. I know you probably wont lose the 20 pounds by Halloween, but the challenges will continue. We have a lot of support in here.. When Im away and cant get to the group, I have Bru & Pinky who help me out tremendously. Along with a few of the others that are on here daily. So dont be afraid to join in..

Hope everyone is doing well. And I hope we are all starting off the new week in good health. My cold is finally coming to a hault thank god!! Thank you for your support, and patients thru the past week. We only have 6 weeks to go, lets see what we can do.. We got this, together!

I want to thank you all, for all that you do to help me make this group a success. I would like feedback on how you feel this group is going? What can we do to improve it, if it needs improvements..

Looking for a motto for our group. Any suggestions?

Hope we all have a GREAT Week 6.. Im hoping to be back down, since Ive gained over the past few weeks. I think its been because of this cold coming. I think its been lingering for a few weeks.

Anyone have plans this past weekend? If so howd they go. Anything exciting planned this up coming week?

Id like to join! I need something to get me back on track! I started at 200 lbs, I'm now at 184! I was at 181 last week, but I think TOTM has something to do with the gain. I hope so! I really need people to stay on my butt and compete with me to drink water! Thats the only way I feel I can do anything is to make it a game and to compete with someone! Ive tried to compete with myself and challenge myself to drink nothing but water, but that only lasted so long! I will try again, I really would like to hit the 20 pound mark so I can get my reward! Feel free to friend me!

I am so looking forward to this new week! I had a couple days this week where my food was absolute crap. An my exersising has been lacking. I don't know what has crept into my head - I reach the lowest weight of the year and it doesn't give me inspiration or anything. I'm not going to be upset if my weigh in this week is up (I weigh on Wednesday BTW) because I know I just have to live with the consequences.


Today though was exhausting! Did a scavenger hunt at Disneyland. I was at the resort before 7am and got home just after 5:30. There was five hours of xo stant walking and stair climbing and thinking...all in 107 degree weather. I am going to sleep like an effing rock! It was a fun event, but kind of discouraging. They gave you 330 questions, five hours, and four zones (Disneyland, DCA, Downtown Disney and Grand Californian Hotel, and Disneyland Hotel and Paradise Pier Hotel. It was complete info overload and I was stupid and didn't eat breakfast. The first time I actually had food was after the contest at 3. Ive never devoured a salad like that before. LOL

Enough rambling about my day. Happy Week 6 everyone! And welcome to the new folks. Looking forward to seeing you succeed!

I didnt lose any weight this week. Basically everyday I have an excuse for not working out. From working doubles to birthdays and going to a sentencing. What I do not have however is an excuse for how bad I ate. I havent weighed myself but I know its going ot be bad. In response to this I have taken the next couple days off work to spend some extra time in the gym.

I am so jealous that you were at disneyland!! Can I come live with you??? LOL OMG to be that close. I was looking at jobs and houses in the states today. I sooo hate the winters in Canada!! YUCK.

Lucky girl, even though you had an exhausting day, I am still jealous!

My weigh in is tomorrow, and I actually feel positive for once. I have exercised every day and have been well under on my calories most days. I hope I am not setting myself up for a fall here with my positivity lol

I weighed in today since Mon has been my day...shows a gain. I have been fighting with this damn 1.4 pounds FOREVER! Of course, I have not been keeping up with exercise...I do good for a couple of days then work tires me out and I get lazy. So.. I am going to weigh in again Fri. Maybe changing my day will bring some good luck. Seems like a Friday weigh is the norm here. See ya Friday!

Ahhhh this same thing happened to me, I was stuck between losing 21lb and 23lb for 2months. I am hoping that now I have broke it I am moving again. It will start coming off, everyone has those stubborn few lbs every now and again, don't give up

I know I got an A on my German test but I think I did a low B on my Anatomy test I'll know for sure on Tuesday. I'm gonna definitely have to step it up in that class because apparently the amount of studying I'm already doing is not enough

That is so awesome! I can't wait to be in the 180's myself! I haven't been that small for a good five years now. You must be so proud

Holy cow Pinky! That days sounds amazing! Even moreso than my Disney marathon (which we only got about halfway through, we're gonna do it again weekend after next if I have it my way).

So did you guys win? What is this scavenger hunt thing?

Even if you didn't lose very much this week if you keep on with the positivity and doing what you know is the right thing you will keep feeling better and keep losing weight.

Great job!

I know what you mean, I'm much better at exercising in the morning, even if it does mean waking up at 4am!

We aren't following a specific program, we're just doing our own thing and weighing in once a week to keep track of weight loss. We post up an trials, errors and successes in the board and support each other through it all offering support and empathy when necessary There's more info in the starting post on the thread if you want more.

Welcome and good luck!!

Welcome to our new members! snookiesgyrl76, hoperenee88, ash iteru (sorry I had to spell it that way, foul language blocker attacked), LittleMissAngi, annabellj, queenlulu, ckehlenbeck - we're so glad you've joined our little corner of MFP! Have fun!

Congrats on all of the losses, dedication, inches lost, positivity, and honestly.

Kitsune, way to go on the tests!! I'm so happy for you.

Ha, I really should be more careful when typing a post from my phone. So many mis-spellings. iluvwdw, come on over! I don't have any extra bedrooms but I'll try to make the shed nice and livable for you! :laugh: Kitsune - the scavenger hunt was put on by D23, Disney's official fan community. It was their first time doing an event like this so I didn't really know what to expect. Had done scavenger hunts in the parks before, hosted by other fan websites (MiceChat.com, MousePlanet.com), so I had an idea of what was going to happen. But WOWZERS. There were about 2000 participants and 575 teams. Don't know how our team placed, but I'm hoping for somewhere in the top 600. The full results aren't posted yet...I'll report back when they do...but I do know the top team got 320 points out of 500, and there was only a 70 point spread between the top 10 teams. WOWZERS! Disney geeks unite!

iluvwdw...keep an eye out...because next year D23 is going to have a scavenger hunt at WDW!!!

**AWESOME FUN UPDATE**

I added a CafePress store to the H20 website!! You can proclaim your H20 pride to the world with a t-shirt, tote bag, mug, mouse pad, and more!

If you've got a design (that you lawfully created) that you'd like to add to the H20 design gallery, send me a message and I'll give you my email addy and I'll add it.

Since I don't think it would be fair for any one person to keep the 10% earned from each sale, I think whatever proceeds that come in should be donated to a charity. Anyone have one they vote for?
