December Outcasts-Ending the year right!

princesspurple

Here we go-some did great in November, others, including me, need the extra push-especially going through the holidays and the colder weather.

Weigh in first thing on Wednesday-December 1st! Choose your weight loss goal for December 31st. List one other goal, maybe fit in a pair of pants you have, run the extra mile, do 5 more push ups, etc....

We will have weekly challenges this month starting every Monday. We will weigh in on December 1. I will update the weight list every Friday with your most updated weight. I know some like to weigh-in on other days, so if you weigh in on Tuesday and list that-that is what I will post.

Let's go into the New Year lighter and happier:drinker:

Still kind of new at this. Changes in schedule and flipping shifts is annoying, especially when documenting food intake. Have sort of worked out my own system ...hope it works.
Dec.1st wgt = 233#
Dec 31st goal wgt. = 225# ( approx. 2 #/wk.)
non wgt goal = improved attitude

princesspurple

:yawn: I was away from the computer today...I will update it tomorrow! Great way to start the month-staying under my calorie goal even though the office bought food and I have been up since 4am!

kath711

Thanks for starting the new thread!

I've been off track since last Friday. Was down with fever on Thursday night and on Sat, I fell down and hurt my lower spine. Which gave me an excuse to lie in bed all day. Now I wonder if it will heal better if I does some light work out.

Name: Nareiko
December 1st weight: 160.3
Goal weight for December 31st: 156
Non-weight goal for December:
1) To stay on my schedules and stop sleeping late, waking up late. This has been my goal for the past 1.5 years but I haven't been able to stop doing it totally. Makes me feel so frustrated!
2) Go to the gym atleast 3 days a week. Walk to and fro the gym.

jessemerson86

Non-weight goal: Exercise at least 4 days a week, continue to log EVERY calorie consumed, get at least 2/3 of the way through 30 Day Shred

I'm changing my Non-weight goal slightly. After trying the first day of 30 Day Shred last night and being so sore I can barely walk today, I think it would be more realistic to try to get halfway through it so I'm not pushing myself to an injury.

princesspurple

I am ready to do the sheet.....but I was wicked busy all day-I will send it tomorrow! Sorry-I did work out 2 times today, that is better than sitting at the computer right?

jessemerson86

Working out twice in one day is definitely better than just sitting at the computer. I did a lot of sitting today (between classes and being so sore from starting 30 day shred yesterday). Hoping to get in a good workout tomorrow though. Will check in tomorrow morning with my weight (maybe before you're able to update lol).

Steph_135

Can I post with you guys?

Name: Steph_135
December 1st weight: 183.5
Goal weight for December 31st: 175
Non-weight goal for December: 1) Fit into the size 16 pants in my closet.
2) Workout at least every other day, and make more healthy eating choices.

I'm going to do my best to run/eliptical 6 times a week as well as yoga and belly dancing once a week.

215.6 this morning!!! That's 18 pounds since Oct. 11th! Can I just say I love this site and the ap!!

jessemerson86

I'm up a little bit from Wednesday, but had major stress yesterday, so I'm thinking that's part of it. I'm at 166 now. Hoping this week coming up will be better.

margie_77

Somehow dropped even more today! I stepped on and off the scale several times, but it refused to go back up... So, 214.4 it is!

Way to go! That's great.

I'm hoping to step on the scale tomorrow morning before I head to work and crossing my fingers that it's gone back down.

Attitude is a challenge for me.... I am not losing Like I used to in younger years...is harder to get weight off. :ohwell: Also having an issue with MFP not posting my Diary... it appears is because I start it on one day and finish on next day due to working over nights 3 nights a week yet am on 'regular' schedule other 4 days, It is frustrating to not see the correct # days logged nor my diary.:sad: When I 1st started MFP about 1 month ago it was motivating to see these things, so is disappointing to not see them. I guess will just have to find another way to log and hope it will post.
With all that grumbling said, at least I have lost and not regained. Weighed this AM at 231# :happy:

margie_77

Thanks Jess I have my fingers crossed for you! I saw a little gain this morning, but I know its just all the pasta I ate last night that hasn't had a chance to digest yet, so I'm not going to worry about it.

princesspurple

Great job everyone keeping up with this! I didn't do great exercising this weekend..my eating was good, but I was lazy-no excuses-just didn't feel like it to be honest:yawn:

maeadair-when you log your food, you can put it on a 24 hour period...when you are on the food page, you can hit the arrow back to the previous day..so even though you are on an overnight schedule, you can get it all in on 24 hour period.

princesspurple

Weekly challenge starting today........
How about:
1)do 10 jumping jacks and 10 push ups at your desk(or wherever you work) 3x each day!

If you have another you would like to add starting today-let me know-otherwise, we can add it next week!

margie_77

10 jumping jacks and 10 push-ups 3x a day Gotcha!

Does anyone here watch alot of TV? I know the commercial breaks can be kinda long, but my son and I used to do crunches thru the commercials... maybe we could start with one commercial per break? Who's with me?

princesspurple

Okay! 30 pushups and jacks DONE!

I will do my crunches during the commercial break for THE BIGGEST LOSER tonight! Great idea Margie!

Is anyone else jumping on w/ us?????

This weeks challenges:
1)10 pushups and 10 jumping jacks 3 times/dy
2)Crunches through 1 commercial break while watching tv

Next week we will add more!

jessemerson86

I'm definitely on board with the push-ups and jumping jacks....will do those at work tonight when everyone goes to bed.

I'll try to do the crunches, but I'm so bad at those that I'll have to really push myself to get those done.

margie_77

How about do anything except watch the commercials lunges, squats, run up and down the stairs.. anything.
