I'm with you guys. Sucked on both challenges at the end of this week but I'm getting my long run in today and I lost 2.4 pounds. :happy:0

Hi. Lost 2.5 pounds this week. I was hoping for 1 lb so that was great. 5 more lbs to go. As for the water, I'm a teacher. Unfortunately we can't just go to the bathroom anytime we want. So I have to plan out my water carefully. Since I can only go to the bathroom at lunch and after work I con only drink maybe 20 ounces of water at work. So I upped my water intake at home but can't at work. So I tried my best but will never be able to meet this challenge until summer break. As for working out I logged 2,400 calories estimated. I am doing P90x 6 days and trying to add in additional cardio. I low ball the P90x calories bc I don't have a heart rate monitor so I may have burned over 3000 and don't know. But I worked out 7 days for at least an hour a day so I think that is a good amount.

Good luck with your upcoming week.0 -
It's time for a new weekly challenge! We are going to make this one easy this week.
4 servings of fruit every day.
3,500 calories burned this week :grumble:
64 oz of water every day :drinker:
Now I understand that as the weeks go on this will be harder to keep up. I'm just going to post each challenge like this as a reminder of what we "should" be doing. 0 -
so drinking the water is never a problem for me so that was easy. Giving up diet soda....well I am just not into that idea at this point in time. But I do know that it needs to be done. I did not burn the 3500 calories this week as it was my "recovery" week. But it's on this week!!
Start weight: 150.2 (Feb 27th)
Current weight: 146.4 (March 13th)
Goal weight: 135-125
Down 2.8 lbs this week!
Goal is to lose 1 lb for next week.0 -
I won't be able to make the 3500 cals burned for the week since there just isn't a way for me to workout 3 days this week. I did go on a run yesterday...got new Asics and I am so excited! But it was just a short run on Saturday night and another short run on Sunday morning to get used to the shoes. No workout today, but going swimming Tuesday or Wednesday and running the other day as well as Saturday. I need to focus on water this week though...some days I just don't feel like drinking water, lol. The 4 servings of fruit challenge will help keep me on track in my nutrition since my exercise isn't the best this week.
Sass-I can't do the diet soda either! Maybe someday, but I just can't go cold turkey on everything at once!

GW: 141 for this summer
I lost 5 lbs this week! I am so excited! (Well, about 2 lbs can be attributed to the fact that last week I weighed in after eating and with bulky clothes on, but still). I was down to 149.6 (I round up to the nearest pound) which is the first time the scale has been below 150 in over 2 years! Definitely a motivator to see my hard work paying off!0 -

So Monday I worked out and then TOM showed up. TOM has kicked my butt this week! I haven't worked out in 2 days and I got sick last night. I'm not sure if its TOM and the cleanse combo but :sick: On the plus side, I'm not eating a lot of food. I'm a little afraid of weigh in on Sunday. :grumble: I'm so tired right now and just need to suck it up and work out! I'm going to try to get at least 15 minutes in tonight.
Still drinking all my water! :drinker:
Kason...I'm still here! :happy:0 -
So tired this week :yawn: , I just can't seem to drag myself out of bed to work out at 5am. doing okay on the fruits and great with the water. Changed up my strength training routine and I'm pretty sore. Good luck everyone, keep pushing it.0

Hey guys, I went away this weekend and didnt get much chance to exercise but I did get in all of the water.... I didnt lose any more weight, luckily I didnt gain any either. Today I got in a good work out of 700 calories but I havent been doing so great on the 4 servings of fruit. I usually eat 2-3 servings but I am having a hard time getting in the last one...I do eat a lot of veggies though so I hope that makes up for whatever I am not eating for fruit.0

Hope you feel better Shawna!

I am really slipping on the beach ready challenge. Hardly any fruit. I'm still drinking water and working out, but I don't think I'm meeting those challenges like I could be. Between the vehicles being broken, all my money going towards that, and TOM making an appearance...yeah. My challenge has been just breathing at this point. I'm going to start over with 30DS on level 2. And I'm going to continue with my 6 week 6 pack. just trying to get back in the game.0

When I started my weight loss journey I began with hardcore working out and burning tons of calories. Even though I was seeing results in my strength and clothes fitting, I quickly stopped pushing myself with the workouts because I got bored. I didn't spend enough time thinking how to make things interesting.
I am trying to get back into things, but am trying to go about it differently. I know plenty of people who have lost weight just walking (and watching food intake) without necessarily hitting the gym and doing crazy cardio work. I feel like I want to drop a good 15-20 pounds before I start that kind of hardcore exercise in part because I feel like I'm putting a lot of stress on my joints. Does anyone feel the same way? I feel like this is a way to really change my lifestyle as walking is something that I feel I can make be part of my everyday life. I'm taking it half a month at a time. For the rest of March I have set a walking goal of 45 miles.
I'm trying to stick with the water, soda, fruit challenge, but as of right now I'm not really focused on the 3,500 calories burned, though I think it's awesome how you guys are sticking to it!!

Challenges sooo not met. What an unbelieveably difficult week. Everything sort of fell by the wayside. Both of my vehicles broke down, TOM visited and I've lost most of the pennies in my bank account (to the broken vehicles naturally). I'm at the tail-end of TOM and I wan't planning on weighing in (depression and all that), but I did it anyway. Mostly to keep me focused and remind me where I do NOT want to go again. This weight WILL come off. I'm getting back into the swing of things...Zumba today and then Day 3, level 2 30DS. Had to start that one over too - but it will get done!

Didn't loose any weight this week. Not really sure why. Ate pretty well and worked out a lot. I estimate I burned about 3000 calories this week. I'm hoping to loose something this week...
Goals: Loose 1 pound this week. Stay under 130 pounds. Continue to workout a lot. Eat healthy. Drink more water.0 -
Did horrible this week! TOM kicked my butt 2 days and my workouts were horrible because of it. I didn't gain or lose so I'm OK with that. Hopefully I can drop 2 more this week but I'm going for 1lb. I did however, buy my 1st pair of single digit size shorts...size 8! It was so nice to try on 8s and they all fit. I think I may end up a size 6 when I'm done. I thought that may be to small since I'm 5'9 but now I'm going for the 6!

I have not been doing so hot lately. I did not gain this week but did not lose either. I've been completely unmotivated. My father is terminally ill and has taken a turn for the worst. I have been so sad and depressed I have not wanted to workout. I know though that in the past, exercise has helped tremendously with my depression so yesterday I forced myself to run. I ran almost 4 miles and felt alot better than I have in the last week.
I always meet the water challenge. I'm really going to incorporate the fruit this week and exercise. Also no meat should be easy for me this week.0 -

I am so sorry for what you and your father are going through. I understand how depression can keep us down. I went through a rough patch around the holidays and just didn't workout like I was before. I finally just worked out and cried and worked out and cried. It does make you feel better for sure.
Stay strong :flowerforyou:0
