I would love love love to lose 50lbs by then... Im just scared its not completely doable for me =/ I have been on a strict 1200 cal diet for the past 3 wks and have only lost two lbs... but even if i keep that up and lose 20-30 lbs it would be much better than nothing at all! So im in it!!! IN IT TO WIN IT! =P

It's possible that you're not eating enough, especially if you are working out. Good luck!

My wife is in the same boat and it boiled down to pure math for her... you need to lose 3,500 calories a week for 1 pound on the scale. So if you are eating 1,200 calories and your base usage is 1,500 calories you have created a 300 calorie per day deficit. So... without working out or anything you are on pace to lose 1 pound every 12ish days... working out just helps you to increase the deficit...

Hope that helps

yeah this is true... i have some other factors like an underactive thyroid and medications im dealing with right now so my energy level is incredibly low. im having some more blood work done and hopefully, we can sort out this issue, but ill get there and I am working on increasing my exercise.. hope it helps

what is your starting weight so i can add you to the tracking sheet?

lovelylinz

the doctor put me on the 1200 calorie diet, it is definitely less than what I was eating before and was hard adjusting too, but im starting to get used to it.

:bigsmile: thanks for typing that up Billybed! Awesome! Now, next week, will we see our starting weight, our current weight, # lost/gained and +/- % ? That would be WONDERFUL but i dont want too much work for you (or whomever will be the list-keeper).... what do you think?

yeah that is the plan... i am using excel though and it does not transfer to here nicely so i am looking for options to put the chart up...

You can use table tags...

raindancer

I made it to my aqua class. Did 50 lunges, 25 squats, 35 wall pushups. I still went over on my calories by 55. I will do better today.
I would have been fine except for the two huge chicken tamales.:laugh:
I have logged every bite of food for 3 days straight.:bigsmile:

Do you use any supplements?
I only take Oscal, fish oil and a 81mg Asprin.

PoshTaush

Yucky day yesterday...lots of RED...

Nice to see Green numbers today though! New day, new game plan!

Looks like everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work Y'all!

AmandaR910

Thursdays are my usual weight in. From my start weight here I'm down 1.4lbs. Not great but considering Halloween I'm fine with it lol. Hoping to get to the gym this afternoon for a good work out.

GorillaNJ

50lbs by June just fits within my goal of 1.5lbs a week... so sign me up. At my last weigh-in (Sunday morning) I was 310lbs.

amarazi

If it's not too late I want to join in! My goal is 45, but I'll take 50

As soon as the hubs gets home from PT, I'm going to go for a run... I'll write my master workout for the days I don't run/cardio on my blog to share

NotAllWhoWanderAreLost

several great food and exercise days in a row for me w good water intake as well, yet my scale was UP 2lbs yesterday and today. I am not going to get discouraged because i think its me putting back on some muscle that i had let go dormant for part of October when i was being a real slacker ......... Just a reminder to you all, especially the 'newbies', that gains sometimes will happen even when you are doing things right! Don't get discouraged as things will turn around soon! Hopefully i am back at my starting point at least, come Monday!!!

I had a gain this week followed by a very small loss. I know I'm doing everything right. I love this site though, before I would have just quit when the scale went up.

I have not been to the gym all week! BAH! But I have been eating really well. Got on the scale this morning and am down .4 lbs, so that's positive. Not going to count on it till Monday though...we'll see what I can accomplish between now and then.

I hope everyone is doing well this week. Today's challenge is to drink a lot of water. I nearly have to drown to get the stuff down. So here goes nothing.

Great post adkwatergal! Thanks! )

AmandaR910

Just got back from the gym. Did the stair climber for 20 minutes. Not a lot, but it's huge for me considering when I started I could manage about 3 minutes lol. Plus did the bike and treadmill.

Elaina1

Just joined about 5 minutes ago. I definitely want to participate in this 50 lbs by June challenge. This will not even bring me close to my goal weight, but hopefully it will be what keeps me motivated day after day.

So Monday started off great and then the week just went down hill from there. I never crave sweets and that's all I want to eat this week. I think the stress of home and work is getting to me and I think that is why I'm having problems with my back. I haven't been able to get out of bed in the morning - I never sleep through my alarm and lately I don't even hear it.

I am going to get back on track - I know I can do this - I just need to regain my focus.
