Count me in!
Name: Renée
Age: 37
Date of Summer Goal: July 1st
Summer Goal Weight: 135 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 125 lbs
Current Weight: 152 lbs
I've pushed my goal date a bit as I work full time (12 hrs shift on a 4 on 4 off rotation) and I'm also taking 2 classes. I try to work out at least 6 days a week but I am also a wife and mother who also helps her husband run his business so I'm often pressed for time.
Thanks for starting this, I've found my motivation again!

okay so since I have been completely MIA for the past few days this week is going to be a personal/rest week!
By rest I don't mean take it off an eat whatever you want, I mean not worrying about a challenge. If you choose to continue with a challenge make it a personal one.
Mine is to do 30DS EVERY DAY and to find my appetite again and try to get at least 1000 calories a day.
No sure what's been wrong with me but I've been WAY thristy for anything and everything and have no appetite. Anything I eat taste bleck and makes me feel bad after I do eat it. UGH!0 -
Just wanted to share this today.
be thankful! Each and every day. Today here in Southeast US has been horrible. I live in East Tennessee and the weather has ben horrible and unusual today. We've had baseball sized hail and tornados! and we live in the MOUNTAINS! MANY people on the UT college campus have lost their winshields in their cars due to hail, I hve a few dings and dents in my car, but the thing to be most thankful is that the people I love are safe.
It's been insane! This type of weather RARELY happens. There have been several tornados, flooding, hail, high winds, lightening. TONS of things!
Just wanted to send out my prayers to anyone that may not of been as fortunate and to anyone else that needs a prayer.0 -
Hi All,
I'm glad you're ok Pattie and I send my best wishes to anyone else in the area too.
As for me I've put on again this week as I expected because I've been away with my mum and sister. I've only put on a pound or so but that's two weeks in a row going in the wrong direction so I'm really going to try and get back on it from today. I don't think I'm going to reach my goal by July now but I'm not going to give up, even just closer to it is better than nothing.
Hope everyone else is doing better than me!

I've not weighed-in in two weeks. I'm trying to stay far far away from the scale because I've fallen so far off track I'm scared to even look at it. However, this week I have renewed my commitment to this! I'm getting back on track and working my *kitten* off and Saturday morning I'm going to weigh myself for the first time in 3 weeks!
This weeks challenge is going to be good. Let me get a few things done here at work and then I'll post the challenge. I'll be posting the chart tomorrow. Hopefully, enough people will weigh back in!
Come on! WEIGH IN DAY!!0 -

I gained a pound but I'm ok with it lol That margarita was sooo worth it l and plus, it's that time of the month so I'm sure there some water weight or something lurking around there.
Hope everyone is doing great!

wohoo, go everyone!
Challenge Time!!
Nutrition: Make a colorful plate! No, don't paint your plates! Reds, Greens, Yellows, Purple, Orange, White. If you've kids make it a fun activity. Make something with their favorite colors, let them help pick it out by colors instead of what it is. It's also more appealing in general when your plate is full of colors instead of the bland, boring, dull colors.
Fitness: Target area of the week! Abs! Do some type of ab exercise each day. I found this at http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/bestabexercises/a/all_abs.htm
"Abdominal Exercise Guidelines
Perform several (3-5) abdominal exercises 3-5 times a week. Start with exercises and repetitions that are comfortable for your fitness level and as you improve increase the number of repetitions. You do not need to do all the exercises; simply select those that work well for you and vary your routine over the months.
Bicycle Crunch Exercise
Captain's Chair Exercise
Ab Crunch on an Exercise Ball
Vertical Leg Crunch
Long Arm Crunch
Reverse Crunch
Plank (Hover) Exercise
Traditional (Basic) Abdominal Crunch
Half Curl
Crossover Crunch
Seated Oblique Twists with Medicine Ball
Oblique Crunch
Alternating Supermans
V-Sit Exercise
Oblique Twist with Medicine Ball "
Fun: Enjoy the sunshine, I don't care if it's your lunch break, or the sun is only going to come out in 15 minute intervals, go outside and soak up some Vitamin D!
I hope everyone enjoys the challenges this week. I'm hoping that they aren't too hard to follow!
I'll post a chart tomorrow and everyone have a good day and a good Monday. I'm off Monday and Tuesday so WOHOO!0 -
I have been so bad lately about logging in! I have been on vacations & the semester is almost over so it is crazy! I have maintained my weight though!
I will definitely be working on the nutrition challenge today. It is my husband's birthday and I am still deciding what to do about dinner...
I will definitely be able to do ab workouts today even if I don't get to run...really hoping some time allows for running!0 -
Where is everyone?
I did my abs today! For the first time in a while. I have been doing lots of cardio over the past month but I have neglected strength training & abs---bad. I did some bicycle crunches & planks. It felt good but I know my core will be sore tomorrow--yeah!!!
I have been decent on the nutrition challenge. Some meals have been very colorful while others were blah. I'm trying though!
How is everyone else's week going? Getting in some ab work and eating colorful foods??0 -
I am doing better with getting more veggies into my diet !
I am going to start back to exercising next week my back is feeling alot better and i just dont want to due alot so im going to start back slow next week and build up from there !0 -
Sorry I've been so MIA lately... it has been so crazy lately with work, wedding planning and life. I plan on regrouping and refocusing this weekend! Hope everyone else is doing great!0

Kris, wtg in onederland!
I maintained again this week. I haven't had much control over my dinners lately & some of them have been totally unhealthy! =( So I guess I am pretty happy to just maintain. However, my sprint tri is in 5 weeks! I would love to be a few lbs lighter when I do that! I will be in Minneapolis next week...so eating at restaurants for every meal! Ahhhh....0 -

Alright, well I'm still at 180.8 I'm trying to get down to 179. That's all I want. lol. I've slacked once again. I've been so stressed out lately, I've either been eating everything, or nothing!
I'm leaving for the beach on Thursday. I'm going to workout hard up until that day, then I'm going to do 30 min morning walk/run while I'm there.
I'm not sure of the challenge this week. If someone out there wants to take this week over for me that'd be great. And I will not be here for the next weigh-in OR challenge day. I won't be back from the beach till the 18th.
Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've just been extremely stressed about a few things, and now I've got 4 days to pack...technically 2 since today is Mother's day, and I've still got to wash the clothes I'm packing AND I'm working everyday. Not sure when I'll find time for anything, but I'm gonna try to fit in some kickboxing to release frustration that I've got right now.
ANYWAYS!
Good luck to everyone! I hope to come back and be able to get down to the 170s!0 -

I had a really bad weekend so I don't think that this is my actual weight but this is what I weighed this morning. I did a a WHOLE bunch of drinking and not enough eating this weekend so I think once I actually start eating food my weight will come back buuut it was nice to see a number on the scale that I've never seen before. I hope everyone is doing great!0 -

Weekend weigh-in.. I'm still not quite back to my lowest but getting there very slowly. I'm back on track with my eating but it's got really hard to make any kind of difference. I think I've lost about a month with letting it slip and being on holiday so little chance of meeting my goal now but I will keep persevering!

LetteyB, Empress, and Lenesi- nice losses this week! Keep up the good work!
Kris-I am right there with you this week, at a plateau!
Pcakes-Hope you are having fun at the beach! You have worked for it!
I stayed the same this week. Going to have to workout a lot this week to keep from gaining because I am honestly surprised I didn't gain last week...hoping it doesn't catch up with me this week. I had gotten overly excited and made 139 my goal for June 11 instead of 142, but I am going to put it back at 142 since I am stuck at 145. I will be very happy to have lost a total of 13 pounds since the beginning of the year considering the insane amounts of stress and all of the vacations I have taken this year!
For a nutrition challenge this week, let's all try as a group to not go over our calorie goals, everyday! I know some of you guys can easily do this but for others (including me!) it will be a huge challenge! Try to post each night if you made it or not!
For a fitness challenge this week, let's each try to burn 500 calories EXTRA this week. If you normally burn 2000 calories/wk in exercise, shoot for 2500! This is an extra workout or two for most of us...we can do it!!!0 -
Sorry guys, I forgot to weigh in on Sunday. It doesn't look good though... I'll make sure to weigh in next Sunday. Hope you all are doing great!0

I have been slacking getting on the computer lately! I went on a trip to new york and the day before leaving I twisted my ankle:( So I hobbled around NYC for 5 days and now I'm home it has been 2 weeks and my ankle is still bad. I hate not being able to exercise and I have been depressed and have started overeating:( I am starting today to really watch what I eat so I don't gain my weight back. Unfortunately I did gain 2.5 pounds but hopefully being very strict with my eating I can get rid of that!

dubord-keep your chin up! I know it is hard with a hurt ankle. Sitting on your couch doing punches (just straight forward, like you are punching someone) is what Jilian Michaels suggests for lower body injuries for cardio. Maybe you can burn some calories that way? When I had foot surgery, I could still do the stationary bike too but I have no clue if that would be possible with your ankle. Try munching on low cal fruits and veggies. We all hope you get better soon!0
