    I'm SO nervous for our check-in tomorrow!! EEK!! I wasn't all that on point with my eating over the weekend, but I'm on my calories and sodium watch today like white on rice. I plan to get in a Turbo Jam session tonight after work and drink TONS of water. Then I'll have my fingers crossed until the morning. Good luck everyone!!! =)

    Well, Shorties, there is a good possibility I gained weight this week. I spent the last 7 days in Chicago visiting family. I only worked out one day that week and the rest I spent on the couch or out shopping my my mom. We did a ton of walking--we can shop for 8 hours straight!--but we'd end the day with going out to eat to places I really miss when I'm half way across the country. Ah well--it was worth it.

    Glad to see everyone has been staying on track. I managed to get tons of veggies and fruits in this past week...my mom and I even made some recipes I have seen on forums here (like the diet soda cake). My clothes are fitting better from whenI started a couple months ago--so that's motivation enough to get back on track now that vacation is over.

    Im really excited and nervous for tomorrows weigh in. I planned on getting a great workout in today and decided Id wait for my boyfriend and by the time he got home it was pretty close to dinner time so I only managed a 30 min workout at the gym but I have been working hard all week, zumba kicked my butt on monday and I have made alot of healthy food choices. Im pretty confident I did well this week :) goodluck shortys!!!!

    Well no super workout for me on Wednesday. But it was my Birthday and I was planning on working out in the evening but my Husband surprised me and took me out for dinner and then to see a show. Had a great night and I think that I did well with my meal, I had a Warm Chicken Salad and asked for no dressing. Then I gave half of the chicken to my Hubby as there were 4 big pieces, oh and I only drank iced water :drinker: .

    So despite working out really hard this week (except yesterday :wink: ) my scales have hardly moved. I have lost 1.1 pounds, I should be happy seeing as my twins Birthday Party was on Sunday and I kind of snacked on all the party food all day, did'nt eat a lot but just lots of the wrong things.
    .
    Height - 5'2
    CW - 167 .9
    LTW - 1.1
    Loss for 12 week challenge - 1.1

    I'm hoping to do a boxing bootcamp on Saturday and a mini Triathlon on Sunday at the gym (rowing machine, bike & treadmill) I am hoping for a BIG loss next week!!

    Good luck with the weigh ins everyone :smile:

    Ugh... a gain... But I was up around 151 at the beginning of the week and now I'm back below 150, so at least it's moving in the right direction. I'm hoping the number might be a bit better tomorrow morning, I have kickball tonight.

    CW: 149.8 :(
    BMI (according to MFP, at 5'2.5") = 27.0

    Good Morning SHORTYS!!

    I am happy to report that I am down to 153lbs. That is a 3.8lb loss from weigh in last week! I am SOO excited because I never thought I could do this! I can't "weight" to see everyone else's results!!

    Good luck ladies

    Great job, ladies! I'm down 1.2 lbs this week, which I'm happy for. 10lbs lost total in about 7 weeks. If I keep that up, I'll be at the 12 week goal with no problem!


    I was also thinking, and I'm going to suggest to Kristin... to start a new thread for us each week. Since we like to interact a lot on here, our thread is getting lengthy very quickly. I've seen other group's start a new thread for each week of their challenge, and it starts with the previous week's results chart. For example name it: Shorty's 12 Week Challenge WEEK 2. What do you think???

    goodmorning...well I was a bit disappointed when I got on the scale. I was expecting atleast a lb and I only lost 0.2 of a lb...I'll take it considering it was a loss and not a gain.

    goodluck shortys soo far it looks like everyones doing great :)

    Hello Shorty's! WEEK 1 CHART IS IN!! Everybody did incredibly great! You have all really impressed me! This week I really dropped a lot of weight, as some you already know. I have never lost this amount of weight in a week in my LIFE! But i also have never exercised so much in my life in one week either! LOL. I am quite happy with myself today!! But really, AWESOME JOB TO ALL OF YOU GIRLS THIS WEEK!! I CAN'T TELL YOU ALL ENOUGH HOW GREAT THIS IS TURNING OUT FOR ALL OF YOU!!

    Also, on the Challenge Results secion...I put a "BREAKTHROUGH" section...meaning I'm just giving you guys a an honorary boost for getting past a 170's, 160's, 150's, etc. and getting into another digit! I thought that would be a fun way to be recognized for your weight loss journey! If anyone has any other "honorary ideas" let me know!!

    Next week...WHO WILL IT BE?? Who will push themselves to get that extra weight off? You all have full potential of making a big accomplishment! I'm so proud of you all. GOOD LUCK FOR NEXT WEEK!!

    GO SHORTY'S!!!!!

    WOW!!!! you ladies are amazing, please share your secrets on how you can drop that many lbs in one week, I really want to be able to drop 3lbs by next week. I have never lost that much in my life. So for this week I lost 1lb and I am really excited because I broke my plateau but I will really celebrate when I get passed the 151 to 150 and than to 149, I can get to 151 and than get stuck there and go back up to 153 so fingers crossed that I can keep this up

    GOOD JOB SHORTYs

    Great Job this week ladies!! This was just the first week and now we can all share our secrets!

    I would say that the most important part of this for me was eating right around my calories and going to the gym just about every day... I try to go at least 4 times a week. I also pay more attention to not only how many calories I'm eating but WHAT I am eating. Its a struggle everyday esp with a bf that LOVES food but its working! Will power will get you far and I've learned that this week.

    I also have a lot of support around me. My girlfriend from work (powlschick) is doing this with me, my mom is losing weight and has a membership to the same gym and gives advice when she can, my boyfriend is supportive of me and tries to help his best, I have friends and other family that congratulate me for my success and I have all of you on here. Plus I make it a competition... why not wanna be the best... it gives you something to shoot for.

    I hear to get off a plateau you should eat your excercise calories too for a small amount of time and then go back to your normal calorie goal. Your body gets used to the amount of calories you are eating and then won't lose any more weight. With adding some additional nutrients your body can realize its not starving and get moving again.

    If I think of anything else I'll post it!!

    Good luck this week ladies!!!

    Great tips...thanks KK!

    Awesome job team! I could do better maybe if I got rid of that damn ice cream in the freezer. I'll admit that I'm working out harder just to fit in that sweet delicious snack. Still staying within my calorie range or under though, so that's good. Also PMS this week and overtired so that didnt help my will power either. Oh well, a new week has begun! :happy:

    Maaan...of course today I hit 155.2 which would have put me at 1 lb loss for the week instead of .6. Oh well, I guess that just means that I might have a bigger loss next week. I think I can handle that. :o)

    Congrats again everyone!
