newmeat30

Good job everybody! You are doing great! Here our our results for last week:



Now...bump this puppy up in your My Topics tab and remember to go back and weigh-in during the window. Some people bumped it last time and then didn't weigh in. (Sorry that you'll see your name in grey.)

This week's challenge will be posted soon! :bigsmile:

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Do the Math!

Ok, this week is our first mini-goal. It is now time to DO THE MATH! How close are you to your mini-goal? Have you passed it? Is is too far away? Figure out how much weight you will have to lose this week or each day in order to make your goal. Decide what you are going to do to help reach your goal (cardio, calories, zig-zag cals, weights, etc.).

THIS WEEK'S REFLECTION: Are you realistic?

Think about you first mini-goal. Is it realistic? If you've already made it past you mini-goal, revise it to try and push yourself to do better (even if it is just 0.2 lbs). If you have a LONG way to go to meet your first mini-goal, revise it and make is something that you can actually acheive. Be honest with yourself and don't be afraid to revise your goal. If you do change your ultimate goal or mini-goal, just change it on your chart and include the word REVISED.


******

Previous Weight (PW), Current Weight (CW), Mini-goal (MG). You can find out your "Daily loss needed" by doing the following:
(CW - MG) divided by # of days till weigh-in = amt to lose per day
example: (162-161) / 4 = 0.25


EXAMPLE 1:
Previous Weight 163.4
CW 162
Mini-goal 161
Weigh-in in 4 days
Daily loss needed: 0.25 lbs
Realistic? YES
How will I do it? Continue to workout 4 days a week.

EXAMPLE 2:
PW 295
CW 291
MG 289
Weigh-in in 4 days
Daily loss needed: 0.5 lbs
Realistic? YES
How will I do it? Continue to stay under calorie goal and exercise.

EXAMPLE 3:
PW 179.4
CW 178.6
MG 165
Weigh-in in 5 days
Daily loss needed: 2.72 lbs
Realistic? NO
How will I do it? I need to change my goal because I didn't lose as quickly as I thought I would. I'll do 45 mins of cardio 5 days a week.

EXAMPLE 4:
PW 151.3
CW 150
MG 152.5
Weigh-in in 5 days
Daily loss needed: +0.5 lbs
Realistic? NO ---- You are past your goal. Consider challenging yourself more.
How will I do it? I will revise my mini-goal and try to get to 149 instead. I'll continue to do what I have been (diet/exercise).

THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Do the Math!

THIS WEEK'S REFLECTION: Are you realistic?

PW 132.4
CW 131.4
MG 131.2
Weigh-in in 4 days
Daily loss needed: 0.05 lbs
Realistic? YES....too easy
How will I do it? Continue to workout 6 days a week and watch what foods I am eating. I'm going to REVISE my goal and change it from 131.2 to 130.8 lbs. So that would mean that I need to lose 0.15 lbs a day. I THINK that I can do that.

***Might as well stick my chart on here so I have it handy for Thursday.***

Current Weight (As of today): 131.4 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 125.0 lbs
Weight Category: REDUCE (-9 lbs)
Group: Lookin' Slim...Droppin' 5-10
6/9: 135.0 **start of challenge**
6/16: 133.0
6/23: 132.4
6/30: 131.4 (Only 6.4 lbs left to go!!)
7/7: <<<mini goal weight 131.2 REVISED to 130.8 >>>

7/21:
7/28:
8/4: <<<mini goal weight 128.2 >>>
