Vixen&Foxes: Valentine's Challange

pamp1emousse

Hi! Am I too late to join? Looks like a great thread
I weighed in today at 127 and I'm hoping to get back to 124 (pre xmas weight... sigh...) by Valentines day. 123 would be nice but I lose weight really slowly so an achievable goal is better for me I think
Good luck to everyone!

Hello all, I weighed in yesterday and didn't post. I am down to 150.8. Yes, another 2 pounds. Yesterday, I met my water challenge but bad food choices. I have caught a really bad cold and sore throat. Hopefully I will feel better soon. Congrats to all who lost this week. Keep up all the hard work ladies. We can do this!!! :-D

I am so sorry, but can someone please clarify for me what day we are supposed to weight in? I certainly want to be on track with everyone else and not have it be a nusiance to keep updating the worksheet! I thought it was supposed to be on Sundays, but it seems everyone has already posted their weights for the week. Also, when I do submit my weight is it easier to just do it here in the forum to ro send a private message. Thanks!

Good morning!

I did excellent yesterday. I felt great and had so much energy. Instead of grabbing for the chips or other comfort foods I would either walk away or grab a handfull of grapes or carrots.
This morning oh around 9:15 am I had a small sliver of key lime pie. It almost seems that I am sabbatoging my progress. Just writing about something this trivial makes me feel better. I wont let this set me back or ruin the rest of my day....I just wont. My goal for today is to make it to the gym and put in my time. I have slacker radio downloaded, my new running shoes and I am ready to rock n roll.
May you all have a wonderful day and make sure to be kind to yourself as this is a hell of a journey sometimes.

Okay, so this is how you spell... "I MESSED UP"...

"If every day were like today... You'd weigh 147.8 lbs in 5 weeks "....

I went over yesterday... so if I keep up the "good work" I will be gaining weight! LOL LOL LOL!!!!! I tried to do well. I went to a restaurant with over 750 calories left for the day, but I was uncertain about the calorie information for what I ordered. But I must think positively. I stuck to a dinner and 2 beers. I didnt' eat fatty fried appetizers, etc. (which I would have done if I wasnt' trying to lose weight). I obviously was eating a lot more than I thought I was (prior to trying to keep track). It's all in the learning process I guess!

First of all you are totally correct in the fact that is should not ruin your day. :happy: May thought is that you have to give into craving sometimes, or you just endup binging! :noway: Also you did it right by haveing a sliver instead of a normal size piece.

Second I have a question what is slacker radio?

I think it was stated earlier inthe thread that you can weigh in whatever day you wish

Today I completed the commercial challenge. I decided to use the Kansas Chiefs vs Baltimore Raves football game. I started at 1:09 and finished at 2:09. I decided to jump rope during the commercial breaks. I used a stop watch to track my time and when it was all said and done I had jumped rope for a total of 25 minutes and 15 seconds.

I really enjoy music also when working out it motivates me or makes me unmotivated if it is the wrong song. Thanks for the info!

I must get back on track!

I need to start drinking lots of water (haven't for a few days) and eat better.

I've taken the past week to "ease" into workouts, now I'm ready to give it my all tomorrow.

Since I haven't drank water all day, my goal is 4 big glasses tonight

wow! that's outstanding. keep up the momentum and you will be a star!

TeamLeela

I only got to 8 cups of water today. I struggled with that. I didn't have any soda either, so its all good.
for the rainbow challenge, the only colors I had was from my chicken salad.
I didn't do any for the commercial because I didn't watch much tv.

I am doing great with my no chip challenge. A personal challenge that my husband and I are doing. So this is day 9 of no chips. And no late night snacking.

Just wanted to check in to see how everyone else was doing and to issue another potential challenge for the week. 100 push ups daily. If you have to do them on your knees or on the wall or the staircase, break them up however you like. I think I am personally going for 5 sets of 20 throughout the day. Could also double as a good workout for the commerical challenge.

Choco, wtg on doing the jump rope during commerical. Its a great total body workout. very inexpensive and something you can do anywhere.

Hi
So.. any day is weigh in day, and its never too late to join.

PLEASE, when you post your updated weight, put the actual weight. That way I don't have to worry that I missed one and I only subtracted .6 pounds and missed the post where you lost 1 pound and then another post where you lost .6

If there is a mistake in the grid for your any of your weights, let me know and I will fix it

tish30930

clarkey72

Hello, would you mind if I joined your group?

I need to get back on track after illness and Christmas holidays.

My current weight is 150lbs and by valentines day I would like to be 140lbs.

Would love to hear any motivational tips anyone has. First day back today and started exercising "regularly" again last week. So I know if I stick to it it works!

Good luck to anyone else reading this post.

Weighing in at 155.4.
I am so grateful for this group and the challenge.

srsimon

Weighing in at 138.9! Woo!

My goal was to be below 140 by today, and I made it!
Starting my PE Weight Training Class today, hopefully it'll help.

DrumlineGirl

Sorry I've been out of action. I was sick from tuesday night until basically yesterday. I feel better now though. However, I didn't exercise at all during that time, of course, and ate lots of saltines, pretzels, etc. So no loss for me this week. Still at 126.6.

mpatternmaker

I'd like to get in on this: SW: 161, CW:159, goal by V-day 149!
Thanks, Melissa

Good morning and happy Monday! Well Georgia is in a State of Emergency due to the winter weather storm of 2011 that dropped between 3-6 inches in parts of Atlanta. After the snow came the freezing rain and the temperature is not expected to go above freezing for the next couple of days. I live right on the outskirts of Atlanta but since I'm not on a major street plow trucks have yet to dump any ice melt and my subdivision looks like a sheet of ice. I know 3-6 inches isn't a lot of snow but b/c the Southerners are not use to it it was dang near a frenzy at the grocery and hardware store on Saturday afternoon and evening. I'm so glad I handled my errands as I always do, first thing in the morning because by 3 pm the lines they showed on the news were ridiculous. Most of the Metro Atlanta county schools, businesses and government offices are closed but since I've been working from home the last few months it's business as usual for me and my team.

My arthritis in my lower back and knee bothered me something awful last night and I got absolutely no relief until about 6 am this morning. I was able to get up and get at em about an hour ago in order to complete today's workout. Today begins my first week of the TF/CLX hybrid so I completed Push Circuit 1 and because I was aiming for at least a 60 minute workout, I also jumped rope for 10 minutes and concluded with a 15 minute stretch.


Welcome to all the new people and CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who saw a loss last week. This is a new week so let's stay as dedicated and ROCK IT OUT!

TeamLeela: I like the commercial challenge and may consider it again this evening but not sure. I absolutely HATE push ups (even though I can do about 30 regular on a good day) so it may take some convincing to sign on for that challenge. If I do the commercial challenge I may consider adding the push ups. My arms are already sore from Push Circuit 1 which is a lot of arm work. How does the late night snacking challenge work.....what's considered late night? How long are you and your hubby doing the chips challenge?

Starting Weight 1/3: 141.6 lbs
Current Weight 1/10: 141.1 lbs

Loss of .5 : (

I guess it's better than a gain

txchic_73

Ok, I weighed in again this morning and am down to 141.6!! Yay! That is another pound lost! Super excited!

I plan to finish my laundry during the Bachelor tonight, but also plan to do something during commercials. Anyone up for that tonight?
