Way to go! That is Awesome!

I love the idea of mini challenges too. I think that I am going to throw in one for myself. Drinking water is a problem for me. I am going to work up to the 8 glasses per day. I am going to commit to 5 per day this week and add another each week. Right now I am around 2 and that is still something that I remind myself to do. I want it to be automatic. Anyone with me?

AmandaR910

I'm about to go to the gym. I might branch out today and do some of the strength training machines. I usually do just the cardio machines because I don't have a lot of time at the gym (a 2 year old, 1 year old, and newborn will do that to you lol). So maybe some circuit machines today.

How do you guys count calories for doing the circuit machines at the gym? Or do you count it as strength training only?

I don't usually eat my exercise calories (unless I'm hungry) so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Iam thinking no gain but no loss for me

i'm in on the water challenge i usually only drink 3 a day and that's when i work. for some reason it's easier to drink water than at home

A lot of people are talking about uping water intake. Does this aid weight loss?

mummy_beckster

Can I join? Want to lose 8lbs

It definitely helps me from being too hungry and from retaining water/swelling. Also watch your sodium.

I'm so with you. I used to be great with getting my water in and I've slacked for so long that it's a chore to get 64oz a day! I've gotten at least that everyday this week so far *fingers crossed* Lol.

What day are we weighing in?

girlsaint

We are weighing in on Fridays. I have been peeking though....soooo excited and pleased with what a little exercise and food accountability can do

cardbucfan

Hey ya'll , my normal weigh in day is Sunday so I will post then how I have done. so far it's not looking good but even though I have been under calories, they haven't been the best calories (can you say baby back ribs????). Good luck tomorrow everybody!

dlaplume2

I'm in.
Thanks for starting the tread and keeping it near the top.

Good luck!

Me too!! I can't go all week without weighing!! I'm happy too!!

lemmyhead

Well, in my part of the world...it's Friday! I have been dreading it...and peeking...and then got a pleasant surprise this morning! I have lost 2 pounds! I thought I was barely going to lose 1! So today I am 151.

I've learnt a lot this week! I think my body has been in starvation mode, and I think I make healthy choices, but often they're not as good as I think! Next weeks mini goal for me is to plan and make better choices with my food!

I also learnt that when I work at home all day, my water intake is great! But when I actually go to work, it is a real struggle to keep it up. Something else for me to work on this week, as I will be back to my normal hours at work from Tuesday onwards.

And on that note...I'm off to work! Good luck everyone!

shreddin_mama

I'm looking forward to weighing in too. the beginning of a new year has motivated me

sweetiekayk

I am so proud of how much I increased my water intake. Replaced all the soda I would normally drink with water. I feel great, too. Way more energy! Really looking forward to the weigh in tomorrow. I feel so much more motivated with all this extra energy.

Friday so tomorrow

count me in...does any one know how to do points here ?

wanna_be_fit

I guess today is weigh in day. My starting weight was 169.6, and today I weighed in at 169. The number on the scale certainly doesn't reflect how hard I've worked this week (up at 5:15 every morning to work out) and I have been pretty good about tracking and staying within my calories despite having company all week. I think that my downfall was going out to dinner for my husband's birthday last night. I was good on portion control, but it is hard to control how much bloating salt they put in the food! Guess we should have delayed it a day! Oh well--hopefully I'll see a big loss next week!

I weigh 151 today! I am one pound less from my starting weight.
