Hmm - no food after 9pm. I already broke that one. I usually don't exercise until about 8pm or after and then have a snack so it's usually after 9pm. I'll give it a shot though --- :happy:0 -
HEy everyone!
Sounds like everyone had a great lose! I didnt have a lose at all! actaully up 3 pounds on the day of weigh in cause of the wonderful TOM!!! But anyways it will head back down this week! I am pretty stoked monday I started biggest loser bootcamp dvd. It's 6 weeks. Im hoping for some big results but will be happy with any results. I feel like i will be able to stick with this better than i have at other things. i have no clue what level 2 and level 3 are like but right now im loving level 1.
this will be a good challange this week, becuase for the rest of the week I work both jobs so I eat dinner at 4:30 then when i get off at 10:30-11 I am usually hungry but this will be a good challenge of my determination of stickign with the challenge!0 -

HUrley- You might be an exception to this rule since you do your work outs so late at night.
Latoya!!! 153!!! So happy for you!! My scale said 148 yesterday but i figured it was a fluke, jumped on this morning, 148 again!! This week have proven to be good in the weight loss department for all of us!
I broke our new mini challenge last night! HUbby has wednesdays off since he works 4 10s so we were up watching movies till 1am! He had a huge bowl of ice cream, I opted for an apple with peanut butter.... kept me under cals still and hey got in one more fruit serving!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I am really starting to get sad that this group will be over in a week and a half... any of you plan to start up another Mommy challenge??? I love our group!0 -
Happy Hump Day Mommies!!
YAY!!!! Congrats to everyone for all the progress this week. A huge congrats to Kristyn & Latoya on breaking your plateaus! Congrats Becca on your unexpected loss as well. I am super happy for you guys because you both have been working super hard. I agree that there is not really much rhyme or reason to the whole breaking a plateau thing. I am happy that you guys seem to have broke the code lol.
I never eat after 7:30pm, so this will be an easy challenge for me. Of course, we are totally lame-O and go up to bed at 8pm b/c of the kiddos
Have a wonderful rest of the week all!!0 -
hey ladybugs. sorry i have been mia the past 2 weeks. i have been in a funk. whoa gotta be careful with that spelling on funk. anyway. i feel it gently lifting. so i am going to try and get back into the swings of things. looks like u all have been steadily trudging along. u all are going to be some beautys on labor day! best wishes to all mommies whos little ones went off to school recently. mine still has 3 years.

Good Morning Ladies -
It has been a very rough week. I have been sick since Thursday and with school starting, a wedding this weekend, many family gatherings, and my daughter having surgery today - excercising was not in my forecast for the week and it reflected on the scale. I havent been able to take care of myself feeling sick and i think the stress of today is definitely a factor but i wont let it get me too down. I will be happy when today is over and can get back on track. Hope you all have a wonderful week. Please keep my daughter in your prayers today - she is having tubes put in her ears. I know its not an uncommon procedure but for me it is - especially since they have to put her under and she is my little peanut! Anyway - here are my stats sad to say.....
SW - 175.4
7/18 - 172.4
7/25 - 172

Sorry, this is has to be quick. Weigh in this morning of 163.5! I'm going to be pretty close to my goal of 160 so I'll take that!! Hope you all have a wonderful day! :bigsmile:0

Hi Mimi!!! Keep on trucking! Ladies you are doing amazing! I know some of us are starting to hit a slight stall, but one week doesnt discredit the many weeks of hard work and weight loss! I cant believe this is our last week!!!!! Lets make it an amazing one! I think the challenge of the week should be to incoporate all of the challenges this week in efforts to acheive maximum weight loss! So drink your water, do your jacks, cut kitchen lights off at nine, eat your fruits and veggies, and stay within your caloric limit!0

Angela- Praying for your Daughter!
Mimi- Praying for your Mama!
These have been a rough last couple of weeks for us. But lets all pull together and hit this week hard. We all need some good numbers next week for our final weigh in!!!
Latoya- How is the new eating plan going for you??0 -
Good morning to all you wonderful mommies out there... I hope everyone's well and safe. I apologise for not being around lately. I've been trying to get my apartment ready for us to move in... we're doing a lot of the work ourselves cause we are over budget and way over time. My 17 year old son has been amazing in the helping department.. and I have been trying to do as much as I can do myself.
Other than the apartment, I've been dealing with a personal issue that I allowed to get somewhat out of hand, and dealing with the emotions as a result thereof. Thankfully, i have not resorted to eating my stress away, so I have not put on any weight but I've not had the motivation to workout so I have not lost any either.
Hopefully I am coming back out of this rut and should be exercising today... if I dont get into the apartment and do work there... but either way, I have to start back working out and not allow this crap to get to me any longer.
For the record.. my current weight is still at 131.5 llbs.
Sorry for the rant or ramble.. I hope you ladies have a great week!!
Btw... my family is off to a 5-day staycation at a beach house this Wednesday to Sunday and I'm sorta looking forward to it. Hoping we get internet cause I wouldnt want to lose my "day count"..0 -

Two weeks in a row of a 1 lb loss. I think I see a plateau coming, UGH!! But a loss is better than a gain. I will keep plugging away. I just have to remember that I have hit my goal of the 15 lbs by Labor Day so I just have to relish in that glory and not worry about the 1 lb. Hope you all have a great week.0 -

Latoya- How is the new eating plan going for you??
day 2 is so far so good...eating low carb is hard, but i need the reduction. I really want to get into day to day clean eating with rice krispy treats and twinkies being occasional treats :happy: i think by now u guys know that my addiction to candies and treats is crazy!!! im hoping my the end of september to only have good carbs in my diet on a daily basis (brown rice, wheat pasta, fruits, and veggies) and only have the sugary treats maybe once a week.0 -

I can't believe we are down to our final week! Am I the only one who wishes that we could do another Mommy challenge??:flowerforyou: Working with you guys has been a big motivator for me to get my workouts done when I don't feel like doing it..
Angela & Mimi - I am praying for you and your family today
Nicole - you are doing amazing at maintaining your weight loss during a very stressful time. you should applaud yourself for that. I truly hope that you are able to get back to working out for the stress relieving benefits, which it sounds like you could definitely use. Enjoy your vacation at the beach house - sounds like a perfect opportunity for some much-needed R&R
Lisa - One pound lost per week is a very healthy rate of loss. I am sure that you are also building muscle & losing inches, which slows your weight loss progress a tiny bit. Congrats again on hitting the big 1-5 lb goal for our challenge.
Kristyn - Congrats on saying goodbye for good to the 150s.
Latoya - congrats again on reaching your high school weight! you might wanna think about just going cold turkey from sweets for a little while, just to get over your addiction. I know it sounds extreme, but that was the ONLY way I was able to stay away. I think that sometimes having a tiny bite of something sweet just makes me crave more sweets. I now allow myself sweets (in moderation) on Saturdays, but I can't do it during the week- I don't have enough willpower. It took about 2 months without sweets before I trusted myself on Saturdays to indulge again Good luck! You're making really great positive changes to your eating habits already- remember that progress counts, even if it's not yet perfection. 0 -
Hello All! I am sorry I too have been MIA lately. I am a teacher and went back to work and my days have been crazy busy and then by the time I get home I have been totally beat. My eating has been okay, working out - non existent, water good, not eating at night good (since I am asleep soo early!). Getting back on track and definitely doing the 30 Day Shred with you Kristyn!

Congrats to everyone for sticking with it! Cola great job, you too are motivating me!
Becca0 -
Ladies - just a quick check in - my daughter did beautifully yesterday! After much sleep she was back to her normal self in no time. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support. Now that the kiddies are settled it is time to re-focus on me. I have been sick for quite some time now and with no time to take care of me - my symptoms are at an all time high. I have been doing my best to stay within calories but excercise has not been an option unfortunately and it is definitely taking its toll! I am heading to the docs this morning and hoping he can give me something to get back on track. Not the way i wanted to end this month - thats for sure. Have a wonderful week ladies and thank you again!0
-
Angela- So glad to hear your daughter did well! Now I hope for a speedy recovery. Thanks for keeping us posted!
Becca- Can't wait to start the shred with you Monday! Thanks so much for joining me.
Latoya- Sweets are tough! But you are tougher! Your doing great! I like the idea of finding a low carb sweet bar of some sort and using it as a reward. Slim Fast has a bar that is basically a Snickers, when i want a treat i go for those! =]
Lisa- Congrats on hitting your 15lb goal!!!! Sorry it seems your about to plataue but 1lb a week is still great!
Nicolerah- Hope your apartment comes together fast for you and other problems you are dealing with work themselves out.
Cola- You are amazing!!! You motivate us all so well and are so encouraging!!! I too am really not looking forward to this challenge ending. If anyone wishes to start up another challenge, slim by turkey day, skinny by christmas, Im down!! haha =]
Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Okay Mommies, we are headed into the last 1/2 week of the challenge. Finish Strong!! I will be leaving this evening for Dale Hollow Lake and am not sure if I will have internet access or access to a scale while I am gone; therefore, I am posting my weight today as the final. If I can update it on Monday, I will. If not, please go with this one. Have a great holiday weekend every one.
