good morning all and happy wet rainy wednesday ok not my idea of a great day either but least its not snowing lol

hope everyone is having a great week so far im looking forward to seeing all our fab results i know daytimedreamer has done fantatsic this week hope we`re all as lucky as she is.

todays plans involve running round like a headless chuck i need drop kids school take a friend ikea to walk round and hopefully find a pepper mill drop little ones nursery try to clean get exercise in before yet another school run and then go with my son to his 2hr parents evening i hope it burns me some great calories have a great day everyone

my weeks (monday/ tuesday) has gone pretty well so far (which always makes me motivated)
monday = total conditioning at the gym burn @ 550 calories and i ate really well
tuesday = run/crosstrain about 5 miles burn @ 500 calories and i sort of had a cheat dinner however; after putting it into my food log I found that I didn't go over calorie wise...so if I keep it up the rest of the week I think I will see some lbs drop

...I am a baker on the side (of being a stay at home mom) so my goal is just to not eat any of my cookies..luckily most of my orders will not have extras so hopefully I will not be able to have the temptation.

here is to another day with good exercise and eating well...my goal is to get more veggies in the rest of the week

Losing4sure

Would love to Join also my 33rd B-Day is in October, We are going to DC in October, and like some of the people above I would love to wear a cute costume for Halloween, and we have a Military Ball to go to also its a busy month for us and I want to look cute and want to take those dang pictures with my husband in his handsome uniform and be proud and want to send them out ...my goal is to try to lose 30-50lbs (I realize 50 is way out there but heck if I could I would love to lol)

Nelski

I'll join! I was getting pretty close to my goal weight right before my wedding 5/13....BUT then the wedding, honeymoon and summer fun began and about 7-8 of those pounds came back. I'd like to lose around10-12 lbs and just be more fit in general. My husband and I are going to Vegas Oct 4 so I'd love to be to my goal weight by then and just continue to be healthy and fit.

mabrwynn im sure you will have a loss this week if you keep up the good work im struggling to get my exercise in as much as i want there should be an add for workout created getting 5 kids collectivly ready and out the door for school then the picking up and sorting the chaos they have created unfortunaltly there isnt or id be waaaay up there on exercise lol cant have everything i guess

loserforsure of course you can join how much would you like to lose or is ist just want to look major good in an outfit??

texastae1010 id love to lose just 20lbs but i think 30lbs would be fab not sure if you will get the 50lbs but well after ocvtober will be a fit for xmas thread so you can always continue with us on there but you never know god may be smiling on us and help us reach target faster well im hoping he does but ill take anything i can get

nelski welcome aboard only a 7-8 gain from a wedding honeymoon and summer fun thats great i gained 8lbs back with no wedding or honeymoon and with all the motivation mfp gives im sure we can shift it off again if that plan fails im going to plan b im winning lottery haveing boob reduction liposuction and a tummy tuck that should do it its great to dream lol

heboyette

Good luck everyone!

wishn2binAZ

I'm in! My hubby's bday is in Oct and I'd love to lose those 20 lbs by then. I just started the 30 Day Shred again and hoping I can stick with it! Did it for about 2 wks before and had good results before falling off the wagon. My plan is 30 Day shred and atleast 30 min of walking, either on the treadmill or around town.

monkeysmum

heboyette im with you on the need for motivation to keep us at it i do so well then it starts to feel like a chore and i lose interest and end up gaining back what i lost i am always in need of a boot in the bum to stop me slacking or getting tempted by sweets crisps and chocolate good luck us

wishin2binAZ 20lbs is a realistic goal i hope a sthats what im aiming for as well ive never tried 30DS having read how gruelling it can be i dont think im that brave so very best of luck im looking forward to seeing how great the results are tho it may motivate me to try

Hi all just a quick one as I'm at work on my phone..have lost 2lb this week but 1lb since I joined this challenge, I have 28lbs to go now. My challenge this week is to drink more water and up my exercise. Good luck everyone who is weighing in today x keep up the good work x love lyds

Nelski

Happy Friday all.
I did not have a succesful weight loss week, actually gained a little over a pound. I'm not surprised because I went to a charity tasting event on Monday night and my uncle was in town so out to dinner on Wed night. I did exercise the last couple days so I'm just going to keep that going. I just tried out Jillian Michael's 6 Week 6 Pack on OnDemand and I think I'm going to try to stick with that a few times a week. A couple of the moves are pretty rough though!
Have a good weekend everyone.

monkeysmum

nelski i think doing any jillian michaels workout is an acheivment shes brutal good but brutal it will def be on chart as this weeks acheivment

well done cherrydietcoke1 2lbs is better than my 0.8lbs we are off to a good start lets hope we can keep it up

now does spraining my foot count as acheivment or just bad luck?? cos i need a postive outlook on this i had pulled calf last weekend and now this

I will start my weigh ins on friday as well...I have lost 1.2lbs this week (since monday). I fear it is only water weight but it is lbs. My goal is to lose at least half a lb or more in the next week. I have sort of hit a plateau and so it is hard for me to lose weight in bigger numbers. I am going to try my hardest though this time around since I have reasons to get into those jeans (sisters bachelorette party, my 5 year wedding anniversary, and my sisters wedding)

-mabry

...goal for this week = no cookies and no eating after 7pm!! I bake cookies and sell them for a living so I do need to taste test; however, one bite and then I need to just throw them away

well done you and if all else fails and like me the weight is hard to shift look at the other acheivments like not eating all the cookies you make or just sticking to the no eating aft 7pm they are all achivments and when the weight wont shift any achievment is motivational for me

monkeysmum

ok here are our acheivments so far

daytimedreamer lost 4lbs shes 59lbs down so far
sarahliz24 lost 3.2lbs brilliant
cherrydietcoke1 lost 2lbs only 28lbs to go
monkeysmum i lost 0.8lbs and got me a sprained foot and ankle
nelski started jillian michaels 6pack on demand braver than i am shes brutal lol
mabrywynn lost 1.2lbs way to go

keep posting and ill keep adding but we all are doing great heres to another good week

sweetmamajamma

I'd love to join myself!!

Just today I realized I hit 170 and my goal is to be 150 by my birthday which is Sept. 27th. That gives me 13 weeks to lose just 20lbs and that voice in the back of my mind keeps laughing at me! I so want to do this and be out of the double digit pants!
