Calling All Non-Moms Again!

lilRicki

I'm a non-Mom and would love to join this group. I just started back with MFP and have set goals for the next couple of months.

For December my gaol is to lose 8 pounds. I started last week by changing up my food and drinking more water...3.5 pounds lost! Yesterday I started Chalean Extreme Burn Circuit and Couch to 5K. I will do both of these Monday, Wednesday, Friday. On the off days I will do treadmill walking and stationary bike and would like to throw in a little Taebo. Weekends I spend on a farm and will be doing some hiking in the woods.

January and February, my goal is to lose 10 pounds each month to reach my goal weight of 140.

My overall goal is to finish what I started! Chalean Extreme weight training and Couch to 5K! Oh yeah, and lose about 25 to 30 more pounds.

wow go get 'em sista! sounds like you have it down to a science...i'm just flopping around lol...how do you like the fitness videos? are they working for you? i have 35lbs to lose too

I like the videos and working out at home on my own. Call me anti-social, but for me my workouts are ME time.

morning, non-moms! hope this hump day finds you all well - i can't believe that a whole week of december has already past - that's insane. but, personally, i'm still wondering what happened to 1998...

had my weigh in this morning and i'm down 1.2 pounds! glad to see a loss like that instead of a maintain or .4 - has me motivated for the week. and the *cool* thing is...i weighed in at 200 even, so anything i lose this week, even if it is just one ounce, will put me in ONEderland! i really like knowing this - keeps me even more focused!

i'm going to clean up a bit around the house and then head to the gym. i'm on c25k again, but it whipped me on monday - i only made it through about 15 minutes. i think i'm going to rearrange the routine to break up the running sections a little bit. i had been running about 22 minutes out of 40. i had the segments broken as follows: 3.5 minutes warmup; 7 minute jog; 3.5 minute walk; 3.5 minute jog; repeat.

i changed it to group the to 3.5 minute jogs into one 7 minute jog, which had me running for 7 minutes three times with a 3.5 minute break between. i don't think i'm there yet. so i'm going to play around with it to get back to where i can complete it instead of bailing! wish me luck! and then i have pilates - yay! have a great day ladies!

I'm down to 131.2 today. Still not as low as I was two weeks ago, but definitely better than last week. I'll take it.

kksn

I'm down 1.4 pounds this week! I am sooo close to the 150s that I can practically taste it! I weighed in at 160.0 this morning... can't wait til next week's weigh in!

lilRicki

Ok so I weighed myself last night, but didn't measure...and I'm really happy to say that since I've injured myself two weeks ago I've maintained my weight. No I didn't lose any, but maintaining is better than gaining right? Tonight is Day 1 of Zumba! I'm pretty excited to get back on the band wagon lol

chanstriste13

congrats to all of you! erica, that's a great loss, and i'm sure the rest will come away in no time. kksn, you are *so* very close - just think - even if you only lose one ounce, you'll be on the other side of that mark! and i think it rocks that you have maintained for 2 weeks, gillian - i think that would be very challenging for me, so congrats - and have fun with zumba! that's a great workout!

back from the gym. i got through my c25k...okay, so yeah, i was kicking and screaming, but i made it through all the same. and pilates was just what i needed - a little 'me' time. so yay.

and just so you know...i re-weighed myself this morning after a trip to the ladies room and clocked in at 199.6 - so i am *officially* in ONEderland! even though i kind of cheated. but, go ahead, ask me if i care...

cowpoke06

I weighed in on Monday and it was 174 pounds. I was going to wait until Tuesday to officially weigh in because I had Chinese food as my cheat on Sunday night so I wanted to let the salt get out of my system. However, I haven't been home since to weight myself, so that's going to be my official weigh in. I guess it's only .2 pounds higher than it was...

DECEMBER GOALS FIRST CHECK-IN

Here we are, one week into December. Let's see how everyone is doing. Please, if you haven't checked in already, put CHECK-IN at the top of your post so it's easier for me to see.

I have put in all the check-ins that I've found, for the goals this month. For me, I have done 30-Day Shred seven days straight, which means I've done 7 consecutive days of exercise. That is amazing for me, and I plan to keep it up. I didn't get up early this morning to do it, so I'll have to do it after I get home from work. Good thing it's a fairly short workout! It's easier to squeeze in than an entire hour. I typically weigh on Thursdays, so I consider today's weigh-in as "practice." This is good, since I didn't lose anything. Tomorrow morning is another chance, though.

Please note, if you're new/aren't listed on the sheet and you would like to be, drop me a private message. Also, if you haven't submitted a December goal, you're still a non-mom; it just means you're not participating in this activity.

CHECK IN

Met my exercise goal for the 1st week and dropped 2 pounds. Plus I made it through report card weekend without stress eating.
:happy:

Never too late! Welcome.

CHECK IN

I've stuck to the Jillian 3x and C25K 3x a week. A couple of weeks ago, I took one extra day off of Jillian but that was in November, so it doesn't count, right?! Still working my way toward 160. Weigh-in is tomorrow.

ickybella

I'm down to 131.2 today. Still not as low as I was two weeks ago, but definitely better than last week. I'll take it.

It's a loss, ever closer, ever closer! Good job.

ickybella

Well, my husband's just left for work and I am seriously considering going back to sleep! I don't know how he does it, but I can't just stay up until 2 and then get up at 9. I need at least 8 hours. Curry night last night and I did our normal curry, with a twist. We also had a palak dal side dish, which is red lentils, spinach, coconut milk, and spices. I thought it was bland but he loved it and that's no minor feat. The man practically kicks and screams when I try to get him to eat spinach, and this dish was all spinach. Really liking c25k. I was sitting here last night and realized that my lungs didn't hurt at all, and that's after spending a half an hour outside. I was so excited after that.

Yesterday was a really good day for me. For the first time since I was about 7 years old, I had a skinny day. I felt smaller, my husband did a double-take when he saw me in my tightest jeans and they were a little loose, and he said "Wow, look how skinny your legs are." I was pleased. I have some serious thunder thighs, so it's good to finally see them getting smaller.

I was going to quote everyone and say well done separately, but that would be like seven posts, so well done Gillian for the maintain. I hope your body heals soon! Well done Chanstriste for living in a Winter ONEderland! You must be really excited. Well done WA Teacher on the loss, the goals, and the survival of report card week! Well done rmkorama on meeting the shred goal. That Jillian is a beast but I'm sort of in love with her. You should see my biceps! I was on webcam with my brother last night (he's 3000 miles away) and showed him my muscles and he was so impressed he had to take a snapshot, lol! Keep it up and she will make you buff. Well done kksn! I can't wait for the 150s. That's fantastic. Ok, that's all I got. It seems like we're all doing really well and the way we're going, we are gonna be one hot group of non-mamas!

CHECK-IN -
... is normally on Friday. Last Friday I weighed in the same as the previous week. I did a little better with the weekend water intake but still not *getting* the recommend 8 glasses.

anewpath

CHECK IN

Well, I weighed in today and am the same as last week. It is my own fault, while I have increased my workouts from none to a few times a week I am not going often enough. I need to get up to at least 4 times a week. I do good with my water during the week but not on the weekends. Still working on it!!!

epa422

Woohoo for skinny jeans being loose, ickybella! I hear you on the thunder thighs. I would be happy if I could just lose a couple of inches on each thigh and my belly (it's not even my waist... it's the belly button area). I started measuring so I can see the difference there even if the scale doesn't move.

Way to go everyone!

chanstriste13

ickybella and erica...while i wish you all your heart's desire in your weight loss endeavors, i must say that i don't think 'thunder thighs' are a bad thing! if you look at any naked chic fantasy art...think amazon women dressed scantily in leapord skins here, baring not only massive cleavage, but gem encrusted swords that are certainly 5 times their own body weight...you are going to see thick, tone thighs! love your thighs! thighs are mighty - a force to be reckoned with!

okay...now that that's done with...

how's everyone's day going? i just had another psycho-lady specialty. great class, and i'm starting to make it through more and more taking less and less breaks. what's really trippy is that when my husband and i do p90x together, we'll compare our heart rates, and his is usually racing and mine is pretty solid! my husband is thin and athletic, though he hasn't been working out very much lately. it's kind of cool that my insides might actually be in better shape than his right now - you would never guess that from looking at us! i feel sure that psycho-lady's class is a big contributor to this!

i'm taking the kids i nanny for out to dinner tonight since their mom is in nyc and their dad won't be home until late. they have opted to eat at kfc. i haven't eaten there in *years*! have no idea what's on the menu. i'm going to have a looksie so i'm prepared. anyhoo...have a great day everyone! keep up all the good work because everyone here seems to be kicking *kitten* and taking down names! boo-yah!

epa422

OK fine... but can I wish away my cottage-cheesy thighs instead? :laugh:

Thanks! I am so happy to be a part of this! Now I can not wait for my check in day to report in to my non moms!

ickybella

Well, my belly is my biggest problem anyway. If I could get rid of it, I could probably (I said probably) live with everything else. I am having a rest day today since I didn't have one last week and I need one. We're having sweet chili turkey mushroom stir fry tonight and I might just sign up for a 5k this evening! I'm too chicken to do it alone so I'm going to make my husband sit with me when I fill out the form. I've also found a half marathon I want to run next August or September! That will take all my courage, but I so want to do this. Just the thought of it is making me a little giddy, lol.

Someone, please remind me to post my enchiladas recipe...argh.

Hi Nom-noms! I lost a single pound this week. I'm thankful it's at least going in the right direction! It's tough getting through party season and stay completely on program!

ickybella

Today is my weigh-in and I'm down another 2 pounds. I'm still not quite caught up with my Christmas challenge, but I should at least end up close. Honestly, I can't wait for that challenge to end (two more weigh-ins) because it's stressing me out! Lol, I know it shouldn't bother me, but I don't want to feel like I've failed just because I went on vacation for a week, and though my BMI was at 25.36 this morning, it is just creeping toward that healthy weight and I feel like it's going to get so much harder after I've gotten past the dreaded 25. I so can't wait for next year and to be done with all this scale madness! No more weight-loss challenges!

meanness67

Down 1.5 pounds this week for a total of 4 for December. Halfway to my December goal of 8 pounds.

Doing well on the Couch to 5K...finished week 1. Not so good on Chalean Extreme am having trouble with the lunges while holding weights on my bad knee. Think I will just switch to some strength training on my own until my knees are up to it.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm a non-mom, working gal that's soon to be married! Finding time to exercise is my biggest challenge, as I'm a teacher and alwasy have a lot of essays to grade.

I went to a Christmas party on Tuesday. I ate a good dinner before I went. While I was there I only had water, 25 or so grapes, 2 little cubes of cheese and a little bit of spinach salad. Toward the end a friend of mine convinced me to split a small mint brownie with her. Those are my FAVORITE desserts! My DH is allergic to mint so I almost never get to have any. It was so small it ended up being only 2 bites. I was so proud of myself. I peeked at the scale this morning and it said I was 2.4 lbs down from Monday. Wow! I don't have much to lose so I was excited to see such a big jump!

lilRicki

Good morning nom noms...I tried Zumba last night for the first time...I'd have to say it was pretty darn fun:bigsmile: I had a hard time figuring out the steps at first...but then i just rocked out! I got the giggles pretty bad while i bounced around in the basement, but it was really good...The DVD's came with a program so I'll start "day 2" today...good luck on your goals my friends!
