Yay! Week 1 is over... Congratulations everyone.. :-)

My weighing scale isn't working fine...I tried 2 times, it just goes to 185 and stops... I wouldnt have ganied 30lbs in a week's time atleast.. Will try again tomorrow morning, if not working will have to do it somewhere outside...

I have seen these weighing machines outside, but not sure where?

Any idea where these machines would be kept? Walmart, Walgreens or malls??? I have no idea on this...

Emotional Challenge(7/27-8/3):
How do you handle the struggles of being the weight you are in your family?

It is a struggle. My whole life I have been called fat by my brother and mother. They are small, but they also do not eat properly and neither of them has never seen a workout their entire life. I simply just try to keep my head up. I just keep doing what I am doing. What they think of me, I could care less at this point.

I'm bummed for you too. It can be very discouraging when the scale deosn't reflect our efforts - I've been there too. But stay strong and motivated! You did great with exercise this past week so maybe the reason the scale didn't go down is because you are toning and gaining muscle. And overall, you are still doing great! Go Karie go!!!

NewLife_11

I am so happy for you ladies! I am sorry my loss wasn't better I am unsure why I didn't lose anything it may be because last week I lost 5.6lbs in one week..who knows. This morning I was really upset about it and wanted to self sabatage all day today but now that I have calmed down I am back on track, I know this is a slow process and I will get through this!
Keep up the great work!
Go Team Green!!!

Good morning ladies!

I will weigh in a bit late... My scale is isnt working, not sure how will i weigh myself...but will figure out something... But one thing I noticed this morning was that I have lost some belly fat...

Terribly upset that I dint weigh in still... :-(

Karie,

I am sure your scale will show up next week (remember two weeks back how both of us had not lost any weight and last week we did manage to lose weight).. But I am sure we would be glad that we did exercise this week.. When your scale doesn't change we should be happy that we haven't put on any weight.. and imagine next week when you lose more than expected, that would be just wonderful...

Also, it could be some other reason, just weigh and check in tomorrow again.. who knows...

You NEVER have to apologize for not losing! We are here for support, motivation and sometimes a little sympathy but never judgment! YOu haven't let anyone down, so you have nothing to apologize for. In case you forgot, you are the #1 motivator that has started all of this and brought us together - we wouldn't even be here without you!

Good job on not self-sabotaging. Its so not worth it in the end. You are doing everything right and will see the results over time. There are a million and one reasons why we lose one week and not the next. You rock!!!! And congrats on having a great attitude going into this week!

Morning Renu,
Congrats on noticing a slimmer midsection! Belly fat is the hardest to lose - have you been doing specific abdominal work or is it just the results of overall exercise? Personally Ive been committed to overall exercise and am seeing results from that, but I shoud probably start to focus on specific areas like my belly.

Last night my husband noticed that my arms are looking smaller. Still got lots of jiggle there but it's a step in the right direction. Lynda

renubhat_82

Sorry Ladies... I just checked my weight on the same weighing scale.. But as per the scale, no change in weight... :-(

But have lost little bit of belly fat... :-)

I am all set for this week's challenge... :-)

It has always been a case with me that I lose weight very slowly... Last week lost 3 lbs.. this week nothing...

I will buy a new weighing scale soon so that I am totally convinced that I haven't lost any weight...

All you ladies are doing awesome!

Lynda,

Congrats on your weight loss dear... I am happy for you... :-)
Yes I have been doing yoga almost daily and particularly postures which would reduce belly fat... Yoga doesn't burn so many calories but of course it helps tones your body overtime and refreshes you...

Karie,
Is that what you were envisioning? It was easy enough to paste in from Word. Let me know what you think. If the structure isn't what you had in mind we can change whatever needs changing. Or you can create spreadsheed in Excel and email it to me and then I can format for here. Whatever works for you

I agree we are going to have some sore muscles after this challenge for sure!

I wanted to share something with everyone that I am so proud of. This year I planted a Garden. I have carrotts,radish,cucumbers,tomatoes,cilantro,chives,onions,snap peas,lettuce and beans. I have worked so hard on it and I am now getting all these fresh veggies from it and that makes it so much easier for ma and my family to eat healthier.

I have so much, I wish I could share it with you all!

I will post pics once I figure out how to.

Anyway, I am very proud of this along with all the beautiful flowers I grew this year.
