new year's resolutions: lose 5-15 pounds by valentine's day

nsueflorence

looking forward to weighing in tomorrow. Don't thing I lost any! Last week was rough with a cold. Feeling much better now so its time to get back on track!

I upped my calories to help kill the cold. So I think I will be taking that number back down tomorrow.

Good luck on the weigh in everyone!

I just need to get to the point where I can have a good time and not snack so much.

i can so relate to that wish.

Epic fail last night! Have been having a really crappy, emotional week... broke down and gorged on McDonalds. Oh well, today's a new day with new choices!

Wooohoooo! Now let's just see if I can hang on to that loss and keep pushing forward!!! Wish me luck! I have set my next goal already for when this challenge is finished. I have been doing the 30 Day Shred (but I was so out of shape that it has taken me way longer than 30 days, but that's beside the point) and I'm almost finished. My goal is to kick level 3 of the Shred in the butt between now and the end of this challenge, then I'm moving on to the 30 Day Slim Down routine that incorporates 3 of Jillian's dvd's. If anyone else is interested in joining me, l'll post the link towards the end of this challenge so you can get the routine.

P.S. I tried raw carrots and raw celery again, a few times with different stuff to mask the taste (peanut butter, cream cheese, and ranch dressing)....both of which I still hate lol! I love them cooked, but raw.....BLECK!!!

Last week was great, I am 2 lbs lighter WooHoo!!!
Although I only got to work out 3 days I found I made less unhealthy choices and it really showed on the scale. Actually my official weigh in days is on Saturday and this morning when I weighed I was actually 177lbs but I didnt want to jump ahead of my self just in case that was a fluke :bigsmile:

yay down and back to where I was on the 22nd. That's good though. Started a kick boxing class at school so that should be fun and a good workout to get my numbers down some more.

janna674

how was your weekend everyone? mine was pretty good. a productive saturday and a lazy, snowy sunday. nice! i tried butternut squash fries again and they were okay, not gross but not something i love. i guess i would eat them once or twice a year. if i had to. still need to get around to eating beets. anyone a fan?

i am so proud of all of you the tried something new!!! way to go!

michelle, sorry that tuna is not for you. good job though!
mirah, your tuna creation sounds awesome! i will be trying that for lunch sometime soon.
jenny, i love brussel sprouts! i am glad you tried them and liked them (and yes, try them with parmesan cheese sometime - everything is better with cheese. lol).

I was going to try beets...maybe next time I goto the store...I hate almonds so I just tried them again and I still do not like them...but thanks for the ideas...i am definitely going to explore the vegetable aisle.

Finally the scales seem to be moving in the right direction at this rate I cant see myself reaching my goal of 132 but i'll take the challenge of finding a reward outfit (any excuse to shop) and fingers crossed it spurs me on a bit xx

Down .8 in the last 5 weeks... I am getting *so* frustrated. If I only had a few pounds to go (or even 20 or 30 pounds) this would be okay. But with at least 80 pounds to go I am feeling like I am never going to get to my goal weight or even anywhere near it!
