Lose 15 by June 4th Challenge (CLOSED)

arodriguez2

I am having such a hard time lately...I stopped doing the super strict diet I was on in order to LEARN how to eat well, but the lack of structure is making it really hard for me (more so because not seeing 2-3 lbs lost a week really does something to my motivation!) I am working 3 jobs and have very little time to work out (but I still try to do at least 30 min a day...until the weekend hits, then I don't know what happens to my resolve) And no matter how much I want to wake up at 6 am to work out, after a 15 hr day, it doesn't really happen...

I am getting really frustrated with myself because I KNOW I can do it! I've lost more than I ever thought in a not so long time so why am I letting my weaknesses win! UGH!

Thanks for letting me vent...

We all have our down days. I had a really good week, spent time with family and friends, laughed and had lots of fun.... how ever my eating did not have a good time.. I ate far to much, and don't even want to step on the scales tomorrow morning. I will, but I don't want to.. But I have to face up to what I have done this week, It's only a few days really in the number of months, weeks, days, hours and minutes that I have left to work on this.So I blew one week, Now its time to get back at it again, hope that I did not do to much damage and move on.. I will not get upset or let this d-rail me on my journey, it's just a small speed bump on the highway of life. Wishing you all a very happy weigh in, in the morning. Cheers.

Good luck with everyone's weigh in's over the next couple day's. I am hoping for a big lose. I only lost 0.2 last week, thank you TOM!! Although still kinda lingering at least I am not bloated so that's a HUGE plus I have also been SOO good this week. We can do this my friends!

Good Morning, it was an ugly weigh in this morning.. Gained +2 lbs, and got little exercise in. I knew I would as I ate everything that was not nailed down. Today I have a lunch date with a friend, and another lunch date on Monday. Will try to get back on track and work hard towards a loss for next week. I hope everyone else did great and are happy with the results of their efforts.
Cheers

i took people off the list who haven't sent in a weight the past two weeks...


this weeks winner: stabenowrj with a loss of 4.6 lbs!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!

the average for the week was about 1lb (i don't know excat because some people didn't send in a weight yet so I just recorded a zero for the difference)


i hope everyone had a great weekend & let's all keep up the great work!!

CONGRATS AGAIN STABENOWRJ!!!!!

StabR80

Thanks! I know this week will not be anywhere near that! lol

This weeks challenge will be to up your fitness by 10 min a day. If you don't exercise at all then just do 10 min a day if you already do, try your hardest to add an extra 10 min in.

I know for me there will be days I only do 10 min b/c I am not a committed worker outer ( if that makes sense lol ) WE CAN DO THIS!!!! Kepp up the good work everyone!

breezymom81

congrats on winning, that is a great challenge!! I need it this week to!

vetsnatural

Congrats stabenowrj on your loss last week. I love the challenge you chose and hope that I can at least start tomorrow with adding the additional 10 mins. I did it yesterday but I had a pretty hard time getting up this morning so I only did my normal 90 mins. It has been very hot in Maryland the last few days so by 5am the temp has been around 80 with ridiculous humidity. This morning I did my 90 mins of cardio and the air was so thick I could have cut it!

arodriguez2

I have not been able to do this challenge yet! I have a pretty big presentation tomorrow for my Americorp program and I have been trying to prep for that..plus I work tonight so I get maybe half hour break between jobs. Maybe after my life slows down a bit- hopefully! I will be doing my normal 30 today tho!

susanjackson66

Congrats on winning !! I love the challenge. Have been trying to exercise longer, this will just keep me accountable.

chelsey728

blah doesn't look like i'll be meeting this challenge this week... i'm just so tired after work i can't force myself to workout & i can't wait up in the AM before work... next week my goal is to wake up ever AM before work & get a great workout in because i didn't workout once this week :-(

susanjackson66

I added in extra cardio this morning with the elliptical. I'm glad we extended this challenge. I certainly didn't lose 15 pounds!

katiejo2011

I did not make the 15 lbs. i foget what i started at but I think I may have lost one lbs over all. But I am ok with that right now with everything else that is happening.

chelsey728

hi all! I'm a little sad because only 10 people sent in weights... I really want to extend the challenge but am only going to allow those who actually send in their weight to participate so if you don't send in a weight this week you will be eliminated.... it's not fair to everyone else! that being said you have until 2pm so send in your weight so if you haven't done so please do!

anacsitham5

Ugh!!!! I have serious shoulder issues....either dislocated or tendon issues. They say it hurts more to put the dislocation back in place but I will be better sooner. Tendon issue will be long term recovery..... I'm still on track even though TOM is almost a whole week early but didn't gain an ounce. I'm actually down a few ounces from Friday's weigh in. Yeah!

chelsey728

still no weight from 8 people.... i'm going to be starting a new group to weed out those people... it'll be a little more strict :-) i hope you join!!
