12 Weeks Till Summer Challenge - 6 Wks To Go!

newmeat30

Welcome back everybody!! I hope Easter went well for everyone and you were able to survive all of the Easter eggs.

*****BUMP, BUMP, BUMP!! You don't want to lose the thread...I don't chart weights that are posted on wrong threads. :noway:


We have a few short weeks left to go. Just as a reminder, you are always welcome to join but you have to keep up with the new thread that is posted every MONDAY. Weigh in windows are Thursday-Sunday. I do not chart weights that are posted on old threads.

If you are new or old....(PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE)...post your current weight in a way that is easy for me to understand. Saying "no loss", "no change", "down 2 lbs", or "gain of 1" is fine and dandy but you MUST attach your CURRENT WEIGHT to that in some way. Yes, I do have a chart with everyone's weight, but if you didn't post weigh the previous week I have no idea what you are up/down from and I really don't want to mess up the numbers that you are working hard to acheive.

Several of us keep up with our own "chart" to track progress. Here are the weeks that we have remaining:


4/28:
5/5:
5/12: <<<mini goal: ____>>>
5/19:
5/26:
6/2:
6/9: <<<challenge goal: ____>>

I'm definitely back to trying to stick to my exercise program. Going back to work really through a loop into my schedule. I'm not able to exercise 5 days a week like I was but I am definitely trying to stick to staying under my calories. Since I work in fast food, I get plenty of exercise but on my off days, I'm trying to work in at least 30 mins of walking per day.

damn I missed posting my weight last week, my own fault and I even by some miracle lost over 1lb.

For my next weigh in do I just put in my weight for that date and ignore last weeks weigh in?

I am so demotivated at the moment, I need a serious kick where it hurts.

Thanks again, newmeat! You do an awesome job on the chart. I'm hoping to kick it into high gear from here on out. I just joined the fitness club at my work today and should be working out twice a day now, instead of just once at home. Good luck to everyone this week...hopefully you did better at eating yesterday than I did.

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Reflection and Change

We are half-way through our challenge. It is a perfect time to refect on how the last 6 weeks have been. Think about the changes that you have made in your life. Have you given it your all? Did you fall off the wagon? Seriously refect on your progress up to this point and decide if there are changes that you need to make. If you are struggling, reach out to someone else in this challenge that has made progress that you admire and ask them how they have done it. If you are making great progress, offer advice to others that seem to be having a hard time. Come up with a game plan for how you are going to succeed over the next 6 weeks of this challenge.


QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your most recent non-scale victory (NSV)?

Start bragging people! We see your numbers every week....but what have you accomplished that the number on the scale can't tell us?

For the next weigh in just put the weight for last week and this week.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your most recent non-scale victory (NSV)?

Start bragging people! We see your numbers every week....but what have you accomplished that the number on the scale can't tell us?

CHALLENGE: I officially ended my first 12 week challenge today (from Jan-Easter) and in that time I went from 157.6 lbs to 138.6 lbs and lost 19 lbs! I have noticed though that my rate of loss has decreased. Yesterday I decided that I was going to start zig-zagging my calories. So my plan is to have 1200-1280 NET calories three days in a row and then one day of 1500-1700 NET calories followed by three more days of 1200-1280 and one day of 1500-1700...and continue the pattern for the duration of our challenge. I'll post updates and pictures on my blog (newmeat30.blogspot.com) to track my progress and document my skin "condition".

QUESTION: Today I was able to wear my black Mudd belt that I haven't been able to wear in 3 years!

Question: Today was Day 16 of the 30DS for me... it's been a crazy process. I get frustrated with myself when I feel like I just can't keep going, but I force myself to do it anyway. I am building my endurance and toning up my body. I even have a little two pack starting to take shape! All of my clothes are beginning to fall off of me -- I can't explain how good that makes me feel! (I will probably post progress pictures at the end of the 30 days). I am also paying much more attention to what I eat -- eating is my down fall. I will eat too much or too little and I am trying to find my balance. I am starting to be proud of my progress and the little accomplishments on my journey... I am not going to wake up tomorrow with the body I want -- so, I am trying to take it one day at a time. (That's a big deal for someone as impatient as me!)

What is your most recent non-scale victory (NSV)?
I was in need of new clothes since my pants didn't fit without being belted. I now wear a size 12 jeans and a medium t-shirt! This is the smallest I have been since pre-puberty and it's so surreal. reflecting back on these past 6 weeks, it's gone so fast but my habits haven't changed much besides remembering to eat often. I am looking forward to these next 6 weeks for sure and seeing this challenge through until the end. My biggest challenge is getting out of the house because my daughter has been eating a lot lately.
this is my revised chart. I changed my mini goals by a little bit.
Starting Weight: 176.4
Goal Weight: 140
