30 Pounds By Christmas? 10wks. Start 10/18 JOIN!

jessnurse1985

Alright, I used to use this site all of the time and I LOVED it, but as most of you have said, life happens. I started out after nursing school at 215 and lost down to 175, then switched to low carb because I didn't have time to exercise.....needless to say that got me back to yo-yo dieting BAD. I have now learned that the key is moderation, not elimination. Anyways......I want to join with all of you. Do you mind having another person?

Starting weight:175 (10/19/2010)
Current weight : ?
Christmas goal: 145

Today's Update:

11 cups of water
Under my calories by 5
10 minutes of dancing completed
25 minutes of brisk walking... couldn't make 50 minutes. My foot was hurting too bad. My personal goal is 30 minutes of exercise a day, but if I can do more I will!

i wasn't sure what I as going to do for dance today, but I was the class parent for my 3 yr old daughters class today and she wouldn't do any of it without me. I did about 20 minutes of tap and ballet! I also had 13 glasses of water, stayed under my calories and walked for 30 minutes and rode the bike for 30 minutes!

I'm in as well. Took 2nd place in the biggest loser challenge at work last spring, gained 10 of it back. My dad had a heartattack at age 55 just last week. What an awakening. I'm only 10lbs lighter than him.

Starting weight 282.0
Starting the week behind, but Monday 10/25 goal 278.0

Hiya everyone. :flowerforyou:

I drank 12 cups of water, and did 20 minutes of dancing.

For my workouts for today..I did 45 minutes of the wii, 20 minutes of Tae Bo all on my own without the video as well as 30 minutes of walking at Walmart. I did 100 jumping jacks, 25 squats, 20 crunches, and 40 wall push ups and some wrist weights for arm extensions. I want to succeed in the challenge and willing to give up all my free time to bust my butt to get it done.

In the next day or two, im getting a medicine ball to help me with strength training.

Feel free to add me if you wish, I apologize for any newbies i missed so if you do not have me as your friend, please add me so we can keep each other up to date. :bigsmile:

Thanks for starting this!

Getting ready to call it a day but wanted to check in. Way under on calories today and got all of my water in, in fact, I thought I was going to float away.

My body is so sore now. When I am at work, I am on my feet the entire time. So at this point, I can barely move. I am hoping the pain subsides so I can go work out tomorrow, it just may not be the entire 50 minutes.

Good job everyone and tomorrow, I should have some time to friend people.

Hey checking in with all of yalls!

So today I didn't have breakfast (shame shame I know) But I did have a healthy snack,which I was surprised! Im not usually the best with snacks! Lots of protein in my meals today, which is good because I WORKED IT PEOPLE! haha

I did a spin class at my gym for 50 minutes and didnt stop! Then right after that I did ZUMBA for an hour. People if you havent done a Zumba class yet, DO IT! All I can at the moment lol

Those classes had me DRENCHED in sweat, not the cutest look but, as you all know, it'll be worth it! So I was well hydrated. More than 10 cups maybe 15 or so.

And after all that I was Waaaaay under my calorie goal. So I had been craving something sweet. Got me some Skinny Cow ice cream. Had a few bites and was satisfied

Good day. Cant wait to get tomorrows challenge down.

LOVING this site at the moment
Hope you all are having a good day/week

Hey,

I think you just want to put down your starting weight and post what the goal weight would be....30LBS LESS WOOT WOOT!

And it looks like there's is going to be a challenge every day that you should do to help you along the way.
Today we had to just dance for 10mins during our day.

The main rules/challenges (how ever you look at it is):
Drink 10 glasses of water a day
Be UNDER your calorie goal for the day.

Hope this helps!

fsuxo2003

Man - you guys are killin' me! Was SO going to take today off....(ran a 5k last night even with 60% chance of rain AND no clean sports bra.....sorry TMI).....and I'm running a 5k Sat BUT I want to keep up, so will try to walk the pooch for a bit tonight as my cardio. Does doing 4 loads of laundry count for exercise??

Already on cup 6 of water, banana for breakfast and quaker rice snacks mid-morning....they are sooooooo good!

Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are a MUST! Another good food is Laughing Cow cheese wedges - only 35 calories!!! So yummy!

Good job everyone!

Hi everyone - happy Thursday.

Thurs. Challenge:
I had a big workout session today: 60 min of cardio and 40 min of weight training and physio. The cardio was at a low to moderate pace - still recovering from injuries!

I'm not even close on my water intake. I still have half my water to go. Going to fill up my large glass right now.

I should be under my calories today.

I'm thinking of giving up alcohol until Christmas. I love wine and my social life seems to revolve around cocktail parties and pub nights, so this is no small thing. Still, last year I experimented for 4 months with ZERO alcohol and dropped weight. My friends were convinced that I was pregnant LOL. *sigh* I don't want to do it, but I DO want to get back on track with my fitness and weight goals.

mrspelzel

I wanna join...

I am up for this challenge and definitely need the inspiration and encouragement from others.

Looking forward to making new friends and meeting goals together.

Thank you for the invite,
Patty

70 minutes of exercise
Water check
Will be under my calorie goal for the day
I won't be eating dinner with friends/family but I am having Salmon, applesauce and baby carrots for dinner. My coworkers are all pretty health conscious so we discuss a lot of nutrition related content at work.
