awww i didnt get that *8* that i was hoping for... Starting weight: 190.0 .... I have been in the habit of updating my weight several times a week (as i see new low #s), so i dont have any big # loss to post (though i have lost this week, i just dont know how much since last Monday, per se). I am going to switch to updating my weight only on Mondays, so next Monday, look for a nice loss # from me!

Yay! I've been a member for a few months but just really started "trying" the past two weeks. Soooo.... I lost 5.5 pounds the first week and my weigh in is tomorrow ! I'm trying to lose 30 pounds total by Christmas. 10 weeks, 3 pound average a week!
wish me luck...then for the next 20 I'll be needing even more support!!
HUGS everyone! Can't wait to get to know you all!
That's a great goal - we're all here to support you!! Keep us posted on how things are going.0 -
Well today is the first weigh-in and I have to say that my weekend was not very good. It was an emotional weekend and I hate things that I really shouldn't have and am up a few pounds. But today is a new day and a fresh start - I know that the journey will be up and down but I'm ready to give it my all!
Good luck to everyone.
Today's weigh-in - 232.0 -
Todays weigh in: 187.40

I would like to join...PLEASE! My starting weight this morning is 180.8.

I'm in. I have 110 pounds to lose - 50 pounds by June would be great. My weight today was 169.50

WOW!!..We had some large losses this week...way to go guys:drinker:
If you did not lose this week you will just have a huge lose next week. You guys are awesome.
Let's keep this fresh with some conversation.
What is your plan to lose this 50lbs?
I'm calorie counting and doing a aqua class 3x a week with other exercises added in as possible. The days I go to aqua I leave home at 7am and don't get home til 8:15pm. After dinner and cleaning up it is hard to squeeze anything else in.
Everyone have a great day.
Remember:
A slip up is no reason to give up.0 -
i gained this week. :grumble: if it wasnt for this website and all you wonderful inspirational people i would probably be giving up but im not going to! im just gonna shake it off and keep on trucking! thanks everyone!:flowerforyou:

What is your plan to lose this 50lbs?
My November goals for food are under on calories and sodium and at least 12 glasses of water a day.
My cardio goals are 5 times a week, about 300 calories each time and finish Week 3 of C25K and then do something for maintenance until after I have this baby.
My strength training goals are finish Week 3 of 200 Sit Ups and start something for maintenance and then to finish Weeks 1 to 4 of the 100 Push Ups program. Also, to do some type of arm exercise daily.
I'm allowing myself one cheat on Thanksgiving, as long as I stick to my diet 100% until then.
My weight this morning was 217.2 (stupid Halloween candy lol).
So my 50lbs loss goal is 167.2lbs. 0 -
to lose the weight i am:
- walking as much as i can
- doing C25K (training to run a 5k - no walking! - on 1/1/11)
- yoga classes on Tuesday nights (and occasionally doing a DVD as well)
- 30 Day Shred DVD
- 5 push ups 5x day (minimum). I am doing a quick set after almost every bathroom trip
- going to try snowshoeing this winter
- will return to hiking in the spring
- I have a recumbent bike in my basement but cannot exercise down there as i am allergic to the dust/mildew smell and it makes me sick, so hoping hubby will relocate that up to our bedroom (its a **tch, otherwise i would move it myself and count the calories burned LOL!!)
On the food front, i am paying close attention to how i FUEL MY BODY. A close eye on my protein/carb mix (i tend to over-carb/under protein). I rarely have issues with too much fat or too little fiber, which is a good thing I have just recently added sodium to my food diary and have found i am not too bad with that either, though it is a bit trickier! I am concentrating on WATER WATER WATER! I am blessed with incredible tap water, so i really need to enjoy it more often
I am also comfortable in the knowledge that i have gained on my journey thus far: that i can have the little "cheats" that i want but i need to remember MODERATION. I can NOT let myself have a full-day or full-weekend "free pass" because i have a VERY hard time bouncing back from that (experience!). I CAN, however, go to a week of maintenance-mode if i am tired of watching and obsessing. Part of my October was like that... it happens and now i know better how to handle it
Above all, i plan on surrounding myself with supportive people both online and "in real life" and have shed the idea of "giving up"
I love it.
Even when i hate it.
Because it makes me strong.

How is everyone doing today? I had some leftover Halloween candy, but am still on track to be under my calorie goal, so I'm okay with it. Cardio and strength training are done for the day. Started 100 Push Ups and was able to do 33 modified push ups! 0
-
I'm definitely in! I want to make good decisions during the holiday season and it's gotta start right now! Plus, 50 lbs. would certainly be an improvement on my health and I need all the help I can get!

My starting weight is 209.4 actually lower than I thought it would be.

Hello there World,
I'm jumping on the challenge too! Mondays are my regular weigh in and so my starting weight is 201. Adopted a dog yesterday so now with 2 at home I should be more active. Picture is of Maya who at 2 and 1/2 has found her "forever" home.
Thanks.0 -
Hey RainDancer, those aqua classes, do you do the aqua stuff in the deep end? I dont know how to swim very good. I hear aqua sports are the absolut best cardio burners.0

Awww love your new puppy.. I have a soft spot for rescue dogs. That's all I ever get! I have a girl, Macy, that I've had for almost 7 years now! She's my girl!0 -
Ours is only chest deep. It is at 24hr fitness. It is awesome. Lots of cardio. I have been heavy for years and not been kind to my knees and feet and this is the best way for me to exercise. I cant do a lunge, but I can do 25 on each leg in the water.Hey RainDancer, those aqua classes, do you do the aqua stuff in the deep end? I dont know how to swim very good.

Hello everyone, I had weighed in yesterday at 199.9(which gave me a 5.1 lb loss) before I saw this wonderful challenge. I have just now weighed myself to officially start at 198.9. Yay 1 more lb bites the dust!!!! I'm so excited to be a part of this challenge. I have been a member for 2 weeks and love all the support and motivation everyone gives to each other. I plan on exercising at least 3 times a week (hopefully more) and logging everything that I eat. Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the group!!!! 0
