Here goes!

Over the next 4 weeks I will :

Exercise 3-4 times a week WITHOUT FAIL
Stick within my calorie limit 6 days out of 7 (and try not to go TOO bonkers on the 7th day!)
Plan my food for the day ahead of time, especially on uni days so I won't be caught without good choices
I will log all my food, even when I make wrong choices - the shame might just keep me from doing it!

I want to feel good in my clothes again
The vitamins one is good @cokolina - I always forget to take mine!

cokolina... I'm impressed that you cut out bread! Excellent step!

newmeat30

I love reading all of your game plans and goals! Keep them coming.

Thanks to all of you who love the chart, I'm a fan of things that are pleasing to the eye. There are a few changes from the last challenge, but I think that this will work out great.

We officially have 119 members, there are still 6 spots open. (If you are interested in joining, please contact me directly >>>> newmeat30)


We've got a couple days left until our weigh-in window. Decide which day of the week you are going to weigh in: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. No matter what day you choose, weigh-ins are due by NOON on Sunday. (No crying and complaining if you don't see your name on the chart when I post it Sunday night. It is too much trouble for me to repost the chart everytime someone weighs-in late.) If for some reason you can't post your weight on time...post it as soon as you can. I will still track it on my computer AND it will keep you from being knocked off the list the next time.

****IMPORTANT REQUEST****
Please mention which weight-loss group you are in ( 5-10, 16-20, 21-25, 26+) when you post weight this week. It will just help me find your name much quicker. Thanks bunches!!

We're in for 12 wonderful weeks! I'm so excited that I am able to get through them with each of you. :bigsmile:

Week 1 Challenge - Get back into Power 90 - even if I don't do it the 6x a week as recommended, I want to at LEAST do it 4x/week. I want to RE-learn portion sizes, as I've lost sight of them lately. Lastly, to STOP buying rice cakes - such a diet killer for me!

ETA: Sunday mornings are my weigh-in days. I will do my *best* to get off the scale then come right to the computer to post it for you! Thanks again for having these challenges!

12 week plan: remember to record to this thread every week and not forget...lol. Start every morning with 2 glasses of water and at least a 30 min walk. ( I always feel better when i start the day of with a bang.) Go from 2 cups of coffee to 1. Stay on track....summer is hard and I have lots of stress this summer so i need to stay on top of planning out my weeks and day. Make time for exercise eventhough its going to be difficult.

mosneakers

I LOVE the idea of a game plan! I need it too!

1. Bring (and actually wear) a dress for my Boston vacation for the 4th of July weekend
2. Be able to run 10 minutes straight (thanks C25K)
3. Wear just a bathing suit (no shorts to cover the thighs)
4. Watch sodium and sugar intake and be in the "green"

Bump!

Run 10-15 miles/week on the treadmill so that when this challenge is done and the weather here is a *bit* cooler (let's face it: September in New Orleans is still HOT), I'll be able to run outside even better than I did in January.

srob636

Goals for this challenge:
1) Get my BMI out of Obese and into Overweight (so close...yet so far away!)
2) Reach my goal of 200 miles on my elliptical by August 1st
3) Hit Onederland...my challenge goal but I would LOVE to hit it earlier.
4) Add 2 resistance workouts a week to my routine
5) Wear a sleeveless shirt in public!

Game Plan:
1) Workout 4 days a week minimum
2) Log food everyday (I was REALLY good at this for a long time but have gotten into a bad habit of not logging on the weekends the last month)
3) Eat more veggies! I'm doing good on the fruit, but struggle on my veg intake.
4) Find some healthier baking recipes to fulfill my sweet tooth without blowing a good day's eating out of the water.
5) Better dinner planning in advance so we have healthy dinners instead of just quick dinners on the weeknights.

Week 1 Challenge: Make a Game Plan
Often it is easy to get lost in the idea of having 12 LONG weeks to make your goal. You might feel a little lost or overwhelmed. You may even get off track or fall off the wagon altogether. One way to avoid this is to MAKE A GAME PLAN! Think about how you are going to succeed. Desire to lose weight is great, but without a plan to do it you may struggle or fail. Take a look at your goals and see what you need to do to meet them. Our challenge is set up to have 2 mini-goals and one final goal. Outline what you want to do in 12 weeks, but really set out a plan for your first FOUR weeks of the challenge. Think about diet, exercise, and a schedule. What do you want to achieve and how are you going to do it?


Week 1 Refection: Accomplishments & Timeline
Weight-loss cannot always be seen with a number on the scale? Often times it is found in the fit of our clothes, the ability to do a task/activity, or in the eyes of others. What are five things that you want to accomplish during this 12 week challenge? When during the challenge do you expect these accomplishments to occur?

Well, I am the kind of girl who needs a routine... So, I am sticking to my DVDs for the next twelve weeks. I will work out at least five times a week. I also need to do better with the kinds of foods I'm eating... so, I'm going to try cutting out prepackaged (junk) foods and have only one cheat day a week.

Five things I want to accomplish:
1. To spend more time being active in some way -- going outside, swimming, doing things with friends, walking, etc... more than sitting around at home. (ongoing)
2. To go out and run, jog, walk four times a week. (ongoing)
3. To be a solid size 6 (this probably won't happen until at least August, I think.)
4. To have toned muscles (August)
5. To get in a "thin frame of mind" ... I've been toning up and losing weight, but some days it's like I don't see the work I've done. I don't allow myself to feel happy about the things I've accomplished because I still have work to do. I want to start being proud and satisfied with the effort I'm putting in. (ongoing)

Well, I guess that's it! I can't wait to really challenge myself... I need accountability!

AnoukDoutyBatya

I wanna eat regularly, like 5 to 6 portions a day. I'm mostly so busy that I forget to eat, a very bad habit. I wanna continue on not eating snacks en work-out at least 6 times a week for 2 hours a day. Some other goals I wanna accomplish by the end of this challenge:

1) Size 38
2) Muscle definition
3) A lot of new and tight clothes that show off my new body!
4) Run for an hour straight

Ready for this!

Falisha13

So many great goals inorder to achieve your goals! You are all amazing! Here is a few from me:

1) I will get out of bed earlier at least 6 days a week & if I am not going to the gym I will use my elliptical & bike at home
2) Use the bicycle my fiance bought me to get to the gym at least once a week
3) stay under my calorie goal at least 6 out of the 7 days as well & don't allow that 7th day to be over by more then 500
4) Going on Vacation in Las Vegas at the end of July I plan to use the gym at the hotel at least a couple of days while there

Hopefully all of these things help me to achieve my goal of making it to ONEDERLAND!! I want it so bad! I appreciate all the support & everything you all are doing, Thanks again New Me At 30 you really are an inspiration to us all!
