Summer Crunch Time Challenge

Ding724

I thought I posted yesterday but I guess I forgot...I gained this week & am back up to 161. It's kinda frustrating but I know it's my own fault because I haven't been drinking water like I should and only went to the gym 3 times all week. I have been very busy packing, doing homework and cleaning...:yawn: Only 8 more days of living in Minnesota before the move!!!! My goal is to be 158.8 or less of course on Sunday May 1st

Kendradl, I feel you. I won't say that I actually hit a plateau, but I can not get below 147 for the life of me. But I can go back up to 149 and then down to 147 with no problem. It is a little frustrating, but I am dealing with it.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.

It sure does suck and I am hoping that it doesn't plan on sticking around for long, yours either I hope you manage to get through your plateau sooner rather than later. We can do this :happy:

Are we going to do measurements this coming Sunday?

Alyshe

I forgot to weigh in yeasterday but I'm going to weigh my self tonight at about 8pm are the rest of you going to post your weight this week? Sorry I forgot yesterday I did get home tell late and forgot.

Alyshe

157.2 I lost 0.7. almost a lb :-)

PercyPig

Sorry I'm late!!! 77 kg (169.8 lbs) which I am very very happy about. Bring on the bikini!

Mandie - good luck with the final preparations!

Kendra/Tiffany - hang in there! I thought I'd be stuck between 78 and 80 forever but somehow I finally managed to get under. I tried everything like calorie cycling, eating back calories, not eating back calories and ended up constantly obsessing. It was only when I stepped away from MFP a little bit that I ended up losing more, I guess because I wasn't stressing about it so much.

Alyshe - congrats on the loss! Had any wine/music evenings lately?

Congrats on a great week everyone! :flowerforyou:

Alyshe

Hey Ladies !!!
I can make the chart today on my lunch break :-)
I havnt been consuming the extra wine calories. lol Just play some times with out wine. :-) Im going to work my but off this week and lose at much as I can. I want to see just how much I can lose in a week if I give it 110%.

Thanks!! Guys, I'm so sorry I'm not commenting on your status updates much - I'm trying a new approach where I'm not constantly obsessing about weight, nutrition and MFP and so far it's working. I haven't forgotten about you though!!!!

**Short Victory Story**
Yesterday I went to American Eagle & bought a new pair of jean shorts...they are SIZE 8!!!! :happy:
I can hardly believe i'm officially a size 8. It feels wonderful. I just goes to show how much of a difference muscle makes compared to fat because right now I am 159.6 lbs and toned where as a few years ago I weighed 155 and was a size 10 at American Eagle! Just my little victory for the week!

Alyshe

weight 157.6 up 0.4 this week. I'm okay with that because I think it was not enough water and tom came to visit. So I'm okay with that. Ive been working my but off. I have been on fire and I hope that it stays with me this time. I tend to lose my flam but I hope not anymore.

my measurments
arms 12" (looks like I gained an inch but maybe I just measured wrong last I dnot know. I know that I am really sore thought lol)
love handels 41 1/4
waist 34 1/4
wow looking back at the measurements I was last month. I really let the stress get the better of me. But also last time I didnt take my measurments as lose but either way I still would have been bigger now. O well nothing I can do now but look ahead.

Mandie Great job on you victory !!!! yeah thats awesome AE has great clothes. !!! I also wanted to say that you are at a great bmi. I would go lower then 22.

Hey Girls!

Congratulations on yet another fabulous week! I am sorry I've been so absent lately and just wanted to post a quick note to explain why...

I am happy. I have never been this fit before in my life, my health is at it's best and I feel great. I may not have perfect muscly arms like Jenifer Aniston or a sexy flat belly like Halle Berry but I feel good about myself right now. I am still calculating calories in my head and going to the gym five times a week, but I am not obsessing about every single calorie I overeat or undereat. I'm not obessing about the number I should be on the scale in 5 weeks and not getting to that 5 weeks later. I am taking a little break from MFP... Don't get me wrong, I love this website and I absolutely love all of you guys - this is by far my favourite thread and I will still come back and check how you guys are doing! I just need a little MFP holiday....

And now I'm off to lie on the beach for 10 days and will see you guys in May!!

Love
Jxx

Alyshe
