Well as I stated in my post for the morning I think I am done! I am not being successful anymore and am inching to the 200's again:( I think that this stress is far worse than just being upset over being fat! I think its just time for me to give in and ralize that this is my fate and I need to stop fighting it. But thanks for all your help and supposrt over this time

8/1 175.4
Good morning mommies! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I seem to have broken my little plateau :bigsmile: Now I know when you look at my numbers up top you see a 175.6 and probably think what plateau but that was taken at my final weigh in for the weight loss challenge and I went back up to 178-180 the next day (I didn't drink anything for 24 hours and worked out like crazy and sat in a sauna). So this is the real deal. I am actually at 175!!! Hurray!!! :bigsmile: This is a big thing for me. I am getting closer to my goal 165ish (give or take 5lbs) so I know I am going to start slowing down a bit. I am working on toning now more than straight cardio...but I am still doing cardio. Going to try to eat as lean and clean as possible but don't know how possible that will be. We need food but hubby doesn't get paid til Friday. So I am just going to do my very best. :blushing: That is all I can do!! I have a problem with not getting my water in until night time. So I am going to really try to get it in throughout the day. This is going to be a struggle for me. :grumble: I am doing well on the sodium intake and want to keep that up as much as possible. I am backing off on the workouts a bit this week. I will still go Monday-Friday but maybe not twice a day x3. My knees are kind of sore and I am still sore from last week!!! :laugh:
Well mommies, let's get this week going and show our bodies that we are in control of not just our children and our house but them as well!!! I hope this week is filled with many blessings for you!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -

I am really excited to have recovered from my forced time off (2 weeks without exercise). I think that the long rest period followed by daily exercise shocked my body into submission
I am so glad to see everyone embracing this challenge. It looks like everyone is making really good progress. Congrats Mimi & Stephanie on finally breaking your plateaus. Those plateaus can sometimes seem impossible to break through, but you guys made it to the other side. YAY!!! For everyone who didn't lose as much as they would have liked in July, August is a brand new month full of new possibilities for loss. Forget about what happened or didn't happen in July & focus on August... AUGUST will be the month of great change for your bodies! We CAN do this - together every step of the way:flowerforyou:
I know that sometimes it's easy to focus on the lack of progress, but please try to stay positive ladies. Think of how far you've come in your weight loss journey. You may not look the way you had hoped YET, but you are making progress- that's super important. Focus on the little changes - the NSVs... and fight the lil devil on your shoulder that tells you to give up or that it's just too hard. You are soooo worth the effort! We mommies put so much effort into caring for our childrens and husbands - why not take the time to care for ourselves?
Let's have a great week filled with healthy eating & exercise! Remember, progress is more important than perfection... Healthy steps in the right direction.... Let's show the month of August who's the boss!!! :bigsmile:0 -
Well I guess I should be happy. Not a good weekend when it came to eating. I did log everything so that im being honest with myself, but man it aint pretty! Oh well down a little bit from last monday so I guess I should be thankful it isnt a gain. Monday is a bad weigh in day for me since i tend to fall off the wagon on weekends since my husband is home. Great job to everyone, looks like most of us had losses even if they are little ones! This week I still plan to stick to cardio/my bike, to see if this makes much of a difference. As for a goal for the week, I'll think on it but maybe we can so something like every day do 25 sits ups, 25 push ups, 25 jumping jacks, or something along those lines??

My goal was to be 120 lbs by August first. 120.2 is pretty darn close!! I was actually 120.0 on Friday morning, but we had a party here yesterday so I wasn't really expecting it to drop lower than that. In fact, I'm just pretty happy I only went back up 0.2 lbs! I am super happy, happier than I've ever been! I bought a size 2 skirt on Saturday that actually fits! Four months ago I was a wearing a 10 and a year ago (just after I had my daughter) I was wearing a 12. I have 5 more pounds to go for my goal weight, and just under 6 weeks is my goal to get there!!0 -
This is an awesome challenge 50 sit ups, 25 'girl' push ups and I'll add 25 jumping jacks.. grand total of 100 0
