Woo hoo, glad we are already losing! I couldn't stop myself this morning and had to weigh. Down 1.4 pounds and that was after water and exercise! I am psyched!0

I sooooooo want in! I know I'm a few days late on this, but my weight as of 7 Feb was 192.6. As a former Marine, a swift kick in the a** is exactly what I need to get back on track! Since I can't have a clone of my Drill Instructor at my house everyday, this is the next best thing
I currently live in Okinawa, Japan so my weigh-in times will be slightly different than most of you, but I will try to post as close to the same time as everyone else as I can. Good luck everyone! 0 -
The table looks great! I'm so excited for Monday. I'm taking a sabbatical from the scale until then!
We should add a focus for the week when we weigh in...like this week I"m going to drink half my weight in oz of water/work out one more time/take the stairs rather than the elevator/ etc.
Good luck to all!0 -
hoping it's not to late to join. . . my weight on 2/7 was 266.0

For all of you still looking to join its not too late i will begin with all of your weights and put them in the table ... also if more want to join even after i post this we are always welcome to new people.
DAILY CHALLENGES? I think this next week i will post a different challenge for each day to see what people can accomplish and if you don't want to participate in that and just the weigh in challenges thats cool. Some people have expressed an interest and i thought i would. Do you like this idea?0 -
sounds good!0
-
Oh I am game!!!! I just started two days ago, but you took the words out of my mouth. I am very competitive.0
-
I'm in too...competition is what motivates me!0
-
A daily challenge sounds fun.0
-
I think the daily challenge sounds great too!
How is everyone doing? There's really not much talking going on in here. Just thought it would help to keep us motivated and "competing" with each other. :flowerforyou:
I'm doing great - I've overall made good eating choices this week (with a few slips, but I think my workouts out weighed my slips) and I've been working out every day too. Woohoo!!!
What's everyone's goal at the end of our competition? My husband and I are going on a trip ALONE on April 10th - so I'm looking to lose and tighten up any/every ince/pound that I can! :bigsmile:0 -
daily challenge is fine by me! I'm currently doing a challenge of burning 3500 cals in a week - so far done 1302 in 2 days!
Eating is hard work though - when i'[ve burnt so many calories I'm really not hungry enough to eat them back without resorting to eating ice cream!0 -
I would like in as well - CW 199.60
-
Busy week! So far so good though. Diet, good - exercise, good - down 7lbs overall from Jan. when I started so I guess they say "slow and steady wins the race?"
How's everyone doing? How do you all handle weekends? I tend to eat mainly healthy - but I drink alcohol.....I really don't want to give that up and tend to plan pretty well so I have room for it......what does everyone else do?0 -
Weekends aren't that difficult for me. I accept the fact that if I go crazy on the weekend with eating, I need to match it with crazy workouts. I actually find that my temptations peak more come Wednesday or Thursday when I am tired from long days. It is definetly way too easy for me to make the decision that we go out to dinner on Wednesday or Thursday nights!
Daily workouts have always been a thought but never an action of mine. My husband's job changed at the beginning of the year and so rather than leave the house at 5:15 am every morning he now leaves at 6:30 am. It is amazing how much more motivated I am, just because I have someone to help make certain I get out of bed in teh am to begin my day with a good workout. Finding a workout partner is essential!0 -
Checking in, down from 203 to 199.8, happily met my first mini goal and my weekly exercise goals, stayed under calories every day but one (98 over). Making good food choices and eating earlier and more often seems to help my metabolism.0
-
Good for you well done!
I have had a reasonable week. I am starting to feel better. I am under my calorie goal each day but I am struggling a bit today. I was working an exhibition for work and I got home and had the biggest plate of spaghetti and meatsauce in the universe... I now feel instantly guilty about it.
I am still under my calorie goal but am angry I have gone so overboard on the portion size.
Nevermind I guess, live and learn. I am looking forward to my weigh in on Monday, but am secretly afraid that it might be zero change on the scale. Does anyone else have this kind of anxiety??!!0 -
Hi - hows everyone doing? I'm looking forward to weigh in on monday - i'm really curious to see whether this week results in a loss - what with all the exercise I've been doing....
Hope everyone's enjoying their weekends xx0 -
Good afternoon. I have had a great week and am looking forward to Monday's weigh in.0
-
I know I am a little early compared to most of you, but my weight for the week is 189.6, down 3lbs :drinker:0
-
Could I please join?! I'm new to MFP so it'd be good to kick start it with some healthy competition
I deal with metric measurements but when I way in I can just convert it to pounds.
So...
Starting Weight: 276 pounds (125kg)0 -
I've lost track of when we are supposed to weigh in. But it's been about a week so. I'm down 12lbs this weeki.0

Just a reminder to everyone tomorrow is Weigh in Day!!! Put up some good numbers. Sorry i haven't been talking much i've been extremely sick all week. So like i told everyone i was going to post some daily challenges. Feel free to try them and post your success!
Monday - weigh in today & commercial challenge: when watching TV tonight, move it during commercials breaks: push ups, stairs, jumping jacks, lunges, push ups, etc
Tuesday - park a little farther away and walk the extra distance
Wednesday - eat at least 3 servings of veggies today
Thursday - add 15 minutes to your cardio workout or an extra 10 reps in an area of weightlifting you want to improve
Friday - go the day without eating fast food or deep fried food
Saturday - stick to your calorie goal, weekends are hard but if you stick to it you will see the reward monday morning
Sunday - last chance workout put in 110% effort, maybe add more time or reps.0 -
Hope you feel better girl!0

The daily challenges for this week look great! I will be out of town and out of internet reach for the long weekend but I will keep track. I will be tracking with my phone this weekend though and can't get on the message board. I will check in tomorrow with my weight.0
