1st of 25 goals:

1) I'm not stepping foot on the scale until weigh-in day (which is Saturday morning). Last week I weighed every morning and got so discouraged with myself b/c the numbers didn't budge!

2) I've slacked on my water intake lately, so I'm promising to drink more water everyday!

chanstriste13

i've only received 5 out of 61 weigh-ins so far! make sure you private message me your updates!

Hi, I sent you my weigh in this morning, (wed is my weigh in day) but your chart is not reflecting my weigh in from last week, did I miss a week?? HOW?? Weird..I'm sending you another PM with my current weight..bascially the 204.5 you have is down now to 202.8..thanks..

robston

Ahhh..my 2 goals for the week are:

1) Work out a min of 4 days a week

2) Up and maintain a higher water intake..

Chanriste's email was a little wonky on her last week. So she may have missed some emails.

WTG on your loss.

love the movies and the books....can't believe how they will turn this last one into a movie since the book was more out there than the 1st 2 movies.

love this challenge.

I hope i can get results as my weight loss has stalled but am willing to be part of this!

One of my challenges I've set for myself is drinking more water, but am having a hard time doing that with such a busy life. Anyone out there have a busy daily schedule and still manage to get the water in? How do you manage it? I know it's it's important, especially now with the heat.

chanstriste13

drat. i'm up a pound. not the way i wanted my first weigh in to go! well, we'll just keep on truckin' all the same!

I eat a lot of spicy food or add chili powder to food that needs a kick... I have no problem drinking my water then :laugh:

Just looking for a little feedback. I love that I am able to track my calories and exercise so that I know I am on track and the scale will more than likely reflect that but does anyone find the "accountability" of counting calories stressful? Like we are ordering italian for dinner and I really want a pizza turnover and I dont know how many calories are in it even though I am using a generic italian restarant calorie counter one. And its stressing me out that I might go over my calories and not know it. AHHHHH its stressful being accountable!

i would find the one with the most calories in it, or add an extra 15% of calories to it. don't stress over it - one pizza turnover isn't going to make or break you! enjoy it, and just make sure you go lighter for dinner tomorrow or throw in some extra cardio - just think of the big picture. it's not reasonable to go through the rest of your life not eating the foods you love best, so just eat them in moderation and do hold yourself accountable, knowing that it's okay to be a bit naughty sometimes!

I am in!!!!!!!!!!!! I just found this site, but any chance to try losing weight with another group of people and a goal in ind, is a great idea!

my goals this week are:
-go outside!
-drink all my water

the first goal has been a little difficult, since we've been having some funky weather here in Western MA, but I was able to sign on today, and was outside for a LONG time earlier, hiking and exploring what the tornadoes/extreme weather did to the woods out here!
Have a great week everyone!

No stressing on that..not allowed :flowerforyou:

I only had a .02 loss this week, which feels like ZERO!! So I can totally relate, and I'm SURE there will be a week in this challenge that we all have a gain, its the name of the game..

Great attitude..I'm gonna keep on keeping on as well :happy:

I take it with me everywhere, and for some strange reason if I have a cup with a straw I drink more water!!

I have so much motivation to meet this goal!! I want to lose 50 lbs by my 25th birthday as a personal victory and my grandmother told me that she will take me on a shopping spree when I lose 50. Plus I got my husband to commit to a Victoria Secret Bra shopping trip/spree if I lose 50! I am so excited and have so much motivation and you guys are also helping motivate me!! I even mentioned the challenge in my blog Im doing in hopes of others finding a challenge to motivate them. Lost 2 lbs this week too!! Hope everyones week is going well!

Just checking in! Hope everyone is doing well! I am loving all my challenges. They are keeping me right on track!

uh oh, here comes the weekend. I do so very terribly on the weekends. I think it might be the booze. I know my weaknesses! haha

clairelane1982

Had a real bad week... Have had no kitchen all week, so have not been able to cook any meals..... Very naughty I know but what am i to do... Should be back to normal by the end of today. Hope to shift those 3lbs plus 1 more. Wish me luck.....

chanstriste13

morning all! i'm on my way to charlotte to visit family - it should be a a good time. i'm sort of off my game right now, but according to the scale (at least since the last pound i gained) i've been maintaining, so that's making me feel better - it hasn't gone up anymore since then. i'm struggling because i'm a nanny, and during the school year i don't go into work until 3pm, so i've been a gym rat since last august. my summer hours are 7am to 6pm, so i haven't gotten my summer workout mojo yet - but i'm going to! i hope all of you have a lovely weekend! i've gotten tons of weigh-ins - congrats on so many successes! i'll have the chart and new challenge posted tomorrow - probably a bit later since i'll be out of town, but maybe that will give everyone time to get their weigh ins to me.

MOTION FOR THE TWILIGHT CHALLENGE:

tell me your opinion on this - there are some names on the chart that have been sitting there complacently. i have no starting weight, no goal weight, don't see them on the boards...i feel that if these folks haven't responded by next saturday, then they'll be removed from the challenge.

i'm also thinking that should be a general rule - anyone that misses 2 weigh-ins in a row will be removed. what say you? does that sound like a fair cullen kind of move or an unjust volturi kind of move?

happy weekend! :flowerforyou:
