December Weight Loss Challenge

I lost about 3 pounds this week, even though I have felt rather sluggish and unmotivated. I do fine with my eating most of the time, it's the gumption to go work out. I am also having a hard time trying to find a balance between work/responsibilities/my daughter and working out. Does anyone have any advice for me?

Little Bethy 87- My local Ymca has its own daycare to be used by member's that are working out. It is free and my son loves to go there. If you don't have a Ymca maybe your local gym has something similiar. Just keep picturing the scales with lower numbers on them. And I always feel so good walking out of the gym... because I can say I did it!!! And when everyone sees on here that I worked out they give me even more postitve feed back... which is extra helpful. I hope this helps. Good luck and keep up the good work!!!
I agree, trying to find a balance between working out and having a child is tough. I have a 2 year old and now that the weather is so cold, going to the track isn't an option. So sometimes, I will go to the mall and push my daughter in her stroller and walk. Even tho its not the same burn as an elliptical, it is still exercising. Sometimes I have found that it's very motivational by doing that because not only am I exercising but, seeing the small size 8 clothes in the stores pushes me to keep walking.0 -

Ok its Saturday almost Sunday.... these are the two days that the most people had trouble with their diets last week. Im here to encourage everyone to do well. I can't wait till we all weigh in again on Wednesday to see how well we have done. I am wondering if anyone has some good low calorie easy to make meals. I am getting tired of grilled chicken salads. I am trying my hardest to eat healthy, but it isn't very easy when I don't know how to make very many healthy dishes. Well good luck everyone!!! And keep up the good work!!!

you can join, list your start weight, goal weight and what you will do to lose the weight. We weigh in every wednesday and on thursday I post a chart with the success.0 -
Dr Oz recommends 30 minutes of walking every day to start. Try that and then move on to something else. I have been trying to walk everyday.0

Here is our weightloss chart. I typed this up in microsoft excel and copied it over. I don't know why the grids aren't showing up. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know how I can fix that.
The grid isn't going to show up because the forum posts are pretty limited as far as what can be pasted into them - it's not like pasting something in microsoft word or even email. I'd recommend you take a screenshot of the chart, save that as a picture (paste it in Paint and save - you will need to crop and maybe resize) - then post that to the board after uploading the picture to a free photo site like photobucket. I did that for a challenge last year and it worked very well.0 -
Sorry I haven't checked in all last week, my kids were sick and it was a little crazy here.
Anyway, saw the post for our weight loss and I didn't see mine, maybe it was 'cause I posted it on Monday instead of Wed. last week? That's fine, I'll just post my weight loss on Wednesday going forward,
Congrats on everyones losses.0 -
1 day left before tomorrows weigh in, and it wasn't a well behaved weekend. Time to hit the gym instead of the fridge. :blushing:0

Looking forward to tomorrows weigh in despite my weak night yesterday. Hopefully get some racquetball in to day or some time on the exercise bike to help. :-)0

Thank you everyone who posted your weight in a weekly style, that helps a lot when I make the chart. This week was rough, I hate the second week of a weight loss program. I was sick this week and barely ate and I think it caused my body to hold on to everything instead of letting me lose weight by slowing down my metabolism, plus I admit my exercise wasnt there this week like it was in week one. I am committed to having week 3 be much stronger, I want to be 217 or less next wednesday. Congrats to everyone who lost pounds this week. Keep going strong everyone!!

Last week was a bad week - Thursday was a birthday celebration and then I was traveling for Friday-Sunday for an out-of-town surprise birthday shindig - lots of "party food" and drinks. I think some of the gain is sodium related - Hoping to get back down to 190 by next week's weight-in. Don't think I'll be able to meet my Dec 31st goal, given the fact that we're half way through the month, but I'd be happy to be solidly in the 180s - 185 or so... that's do-able.0 -

While I am up 0.4 lbs this week, considering the week I think I did ok. Well maybe not ok, but better than it could have been. I was on the road Wednesday night and all day Thursday which made Friday really hard to be good. And then the weekend and a Christmas Party Saturyday Night and I still haven't felt well enough to work out and it has been too cold to walk outside. I know, excuses excuses. This week is GOING TO BE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
Week 3..... woo hoo!!! Last weeks weigh in day was better than this week's, but I still made progress!! I am so thankful for all of you guys in this group, and all the support you have offered me. :-)
Week 1- 175 lbs
Week 2- 170.8 lbs
Week 3- 168.3 lbs
Lost 2.5 pounds this week!!!
Goal for the end of this month.... 165 lbs. Im sooo close!!0 -

Well it is safe to say I am not going to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks.....:-( But I will keep trying and try to lose what I can by year end.
Congrats to eveyone who has lost weight this month so far!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
For us who are struggling or for those who have gained, we still have 15 more days to go, so don't throw in the towel......:-)
Even if we don't meet the challenge we can do the best we can do to lose something.0
