THURSDAY - AUGUST 4TH! - Day 80!

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK - WEEK 12 OF 15
This week's challenge is to do AT LEAST 25 minutes of nonstop activity DAILY!

Today's challenge brought to us by: :drinker: jessilea35

DAILY CHALLENGE/TIP
A lot of us have those bloated, fat days! But more times than not, it’s not a weight gain but water weight. So, with that in mind, today’s challenge will be to stay under your sodium intake for the day by 500 mg. If you do go over your daily goal, drink an extra 4 oz of water for each 100 mg you are over. Keep that water retention at bay today!!!

MOTIVATIONAL SONGS OF THE DAY
1. Salt Shaker--Ying Yang Twins featuring Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz-www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJEzl31zL-I
2. Push It--Salt & Pepa- www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCadcBR95oU
3. Water--Brad Paisley- www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AHnQtY1bg4

SHARE YOUR SECRETS TO SUCCESS:
My success is all about portion control. I still continue to eat the same things I did before I started this journey. I will still eat tacos, pizza and french fries. But instead of 8 tacos or a whole pizza, I will cut those portions in half (sometimes more). There is nothing in the rule books that say you can not enjoy the great things in life, just enjoy them in moderation 

Jessielea35....great post! I needed that after the garbage I ate on Wednesday! I will watch more what I put in my mouth. Thanks!

achampionsheart

journey2size10

great job to all the losers! keep up the great work!

ksutte

Congrats to all the losers!!! You all rock!!!

Portion control is sooo important. I really have a hard time with it sometimes, but have really been trying to keep an eye on how much of everything I've been eating.

Feel free to friend me, I do not have much time to be on the boards but do post on my friends accomplishments daily.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE LOSERS. WE ARE ALL WINNERS.
Portion control is key. For me I still eat anything that I want to eat but Instead of overdoing it, I watch how much I eat, more than what I eat.
Best of luck to all in the next weeks till the end.

Congrats to all the Losers but we are all winners!!!!!!! Portion control is so big in my life now. I weigh or measure everything that I put into my mouth that isn't already in a measured container. It has been such an eye opener for me. When I think of what I thought was 3 ounces of fish or anytype of meat as opposed to what it really is....I was stunned. I am stuck on weighing things....thank goodness for my scale.

We are becoming a lonely bunch.:noway: :sad:

debnu1

Shall we make up our own challenge? I say get your workout in and 8 glasses of water today!

ranewell

I'm still around,.just on vacation! I.just moved almost 2 wks ago and am in indy through tomorrow. Diet not so wonderful on vacation....however I am watching my portions and certainly getting my exercise in! I bought tone up flip flops and have been wearing them alllll over downtown. Back to my routine Monday morning!

cherrieruns

I'm around. Just got back from vaca. My guess is that most threads thin out over the summer months due to people being away or simply busy. Stick around, I know I am, and I'm sure the thread will pick up again. Congrats to the most recent losers :happy:

Hey BOBers! Sorry to have been absent so much lately. My husband's sister & family were in town from across the country for a week, followed by my brother & family being here from out of state for a week, before they moved to Germany yesterday (Army). So, hope you all are doing well! Have a happy, healthy week!! Can't believe we are nearing the end of this challenge!!

LadyOfOceanBreeze

it'sa pretty busy summer for me and not as much time as I would like to "play"

on the computer lol. Miss all my BOBer pals a lot and hope you are all

healthy and happy today!:glasses: time is coming around to see this challenge

through with many more to come. May you all do the very best you possible

Question answered, went to the website,,,apparently we have the option to

weigh-in and measure each week:glasses:

True, guess everyone is busy these days. hope you are healthy & happy as well. You know, I am enjoying this journey as I will never be fat again. So glad for all the support you as well as mfp has given me. Although this is not the end, I have a ways to go yet, but just saying thanks.:flowerforyou: . Have a fabulous day.

Here is a challenge for today. Let everyone know what this groupe has meant to you. I am not some one that checks out the board each day and responds to all of the challenges (an for that I apologise), but weighing in each week with you gouys has kept me motivated and focused.
Since this challenge has started I have lost close to 10 pounds even though there were weeks that I felt I was trappened in endless stagnation. To everyone who has kept this group going ...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Since I joined this group I have found t so motivating. I love the challenges and love keeping myself in check by reminding myself of the goals I've set for this challenge. I really hope I see 160 at the end of the month, but if I don't quite make it ay least I've come a long way and this group has helped me Also sorry for not being around last week. My screen busted on my other phone so I had to get another one and have been getting used to it and had to work 4 days in a row last week.

I started my real attempt at cross training today which means I am doing a bit of

everything in one 60 minute workout. Start with the elliptical, move to the stationery bicycle

then it's on to the treadmill for a nice 15 minute run! It was fun and exhilarating:bigsmile:

I want more! Sticking to my green tea every day and careful to get lots of calcium.

I have added 3 strength training sessions per week now so I am challenged to get

the right amount of protein but I am working on that...hope all is well in BobberLand

for all my wonderful BobberPals:glasses:

cherrieruns

I look forward to reading how others are meeting their individual challenges to lose weight/be healthy and I need the weekly weigh in to help me stay focused.

MaggieP86

Hll!

I know I'm here extremely late in the challenge, as there's only 19 days to go, but I'd love to hop in.

In the next 19 days I hope to lose 4 pounds. The reason this could be tricky is I'm about to head out for a week in Souther California for a business trip. (My first ever business trip, I'm super excited!!) The food options could be questionable, I'm still waiting to hear the final verdict on where I'm staying and what my options will be. My saving grace will be (I hope) the hotel gym. I'll be away from my friends for a full week with nothing to do but workout or veg -- and I'd rather work out!

My starting weight (which would have been Monday) was 217. If I weigh under 213 after this is all said and done I'll be thrilled!

I joined mfp in May, since joining the Bob group I have lost more weight. I look forward to the challenges & push myself every day. It has kept me motivated, I've tried things I would never have tried before ie. elipital, new receipes, also weighting myself... yes weighing myself.... I would never do this as I was too afraid of seeing what was there. But, I am over my fear & weigh myself once a week & look forward to it. I started the group at 220 lbs & now am 192. I will reiterate & quote what you said." To everyone who has kept this group going ..."

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!"

If this challenge is still going, I would like to join. I'm not trying to lose weight just for the summer. I am losing weight to be able to climb stairs without feeling like I am about to pass out! Please let me know how to join.

Hi livinglifeandloving you can contact prplangl4 (that's letter l) who set it all up. Have a great weekend.

nlsalvatore

I joined MFP in Jan. The BOB was the first challenge I got involved in. I was previously doing a challenge at work - I teach - and was looking for something to keep me motivated throughout the summer. I found it with BOB. The friends I have gained through this challenge are wonderfully encouraging. I have done a bunch of different challenges over the summer, but this one was my favorite. Kristy's enthusiasm is contagious, and kudos to her for the TON of work she put into this! The website was awesome - I have not seen anything like it in any other challenges. Thanks for keeping me on track throughout the summer! I am down 17 pounds since starting BOB. If I was struggling with something, I would go on the thread, and what do you know? - There would be a challenge or comment that perfectly addressed what I was dealing with and helped me along. THANKS to Kristy (prplangl4) and thanks to all of you!

Fell off the wagon this weekend!! So much for having a loss-- I am now on the right track again!!
