Sexy in Six: Week 6
DebLaf
Posts: 248
Good Morning Sexy Sixers,
We are in the home stretch; our last week before Thanksgiving. I hope this challenge has helped everyone lose a little or maintain. I have lost 4.2 pounds so far in this challenge. It was not as big as a percentage as we started out wanting, but I’m still very pleased about this progress. My goal for next weeks weigh in will be to lose one pound. This will bring me under 200 for the first time in a long time and put me at a 5 pound loss for this challenge. I think as long as we aren’t gaining that is really good news.
Below you will find the week 4 Stats from everyone. Use it to update, unless you can find one that is more recent, I didn’t see one.

Hey ladies!
So I'm kind of starting off the morning pretty bummed. My midweek loss is long gone and so I'm technically up this week. But I was kind of expecting it because there were a few questionable "cheats" this week.
Plan of attack for today is the Shred DVD and mealwise:
B: multi grain cheerios, skim milk
L: Campbells soup at hand
S: Jello sugar free fat free snack cup - strawberry
Chicken breast, brown rice, mixed veggies.
Might get the skinny cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks for 130 cals but not sure yet.
I'm disappointed, but at the same time I know that doing this challenge has prepared me for the holidays and has helped me get started. I'm hoping this week just to get back under 157 which is where I was at for a long time before hitting the 160 mark. It's not much this week, just 0.8 lbs. but I will take it and am going to work hard for it!!

mornin sixers....
medication is leaving my system....iam down 1.8 i am thrilled to no end. i thought there might be a gain, because of the eating did this past weekend. but, keeping on the go helps me so much.
already did workout. getting time for a short nap. not use to this 5 am wake up. glad sons plant is closed all next week. gives him a chance to find a car and a job and a place to live, besides my house. we already had a run in with each other last night at dinner. i understand his problems, but, please show me some respect it's my house. it also put me out also. it's just been me and hubby for a year. i will be putting my foot down from now on....

congrats to all "LOSERS" we want to be losers. come on gainers, new week, **kicking bottoms back on the wagon**. it's almost like we are all on the same wagon. when one slips we all have a rough time. we seem to always be on track together too. just was thinking that.
rambling, tired, sorry, nap time

Good morning ladies. Brand new week! AND the last one for this challenge!!!! Here are my stats:
Week 1: 161.5 pounds
Week 2: ???
Week 3: 162.0 pounds
Week 4: 161.5 pounds
Week 5: 161.0 pounds
Week 6: 161.0 pounds:grumble:
Original Goal: 155.5 pounds
Original Remaining: 5.5 pounds
Revised Goal: Anywhere in the 150s
Revised Remaining: 2.0 pounds
This is kind of disappointing to me because I know I am really down in weight, but yesterday was a heavy day and I even feel bloated this morning. My check in on Thursday was 159.5 which was FABULOUS! And up until this morning (I weighed a LOT this week) I was at 160.0. So, I know I'm down and was SO looking forward to sharing that with all you wonderful ladies! Oh well.

I would like to quickly look at my challenges this week:
1. My brothers birthday dinner on Saturday...I think we are doing Chinese. But I will go to Spinning that morning and eat light for the rest of the day. I will also drink PLENTY of water...all the sodium!
That's the only challenge I know of for this week.
So, here is my meal plan for today:
Breakfast
One A Day - Womens Multi Vitamin, 1 tablet 0 calories
Multi Grain Cheerios & Banana, 1 meal 255 calories
Old Orchard - Healthy Balance Pomegranate Cranberry, 8 FL OZ 29 calories
284 total breakfast calories
AM snacks
Coffee - ground, 2 cup 0 calories
Nestle Coffee Mate - Coffee Creamer (Sugar Free Vanilla Caramel), 2 tbsp 30 calories
Kashi Tlc - Soft Baked Cereal Bar-Blackberry Graham, 1 bar (35g) 110 calories
140 total AM snack calories
Lunch
HomeMade - Cabbage Soup, 2 cup 110 calories
Harvest Crisps - Snack Crackers - Wheat Thins Garden Vegetable, 15 crackers 130 calories
Diet Coke - Soft Drink, 12 fl. oz. 0 calories
Ae Yo-Lite Yogurt - Yogurt, 6 oz 80 calories
320 total lunch calories
Afternoon snacks
Apples - Raw, with skin, 1 medium (2-3/4" dia) (approx 3 per lb) 72 calories
Kashi - Tlc Crunchy Granola Bars - Pumpkin Spice Flax, 2 bars 180 calories
252 total afternoon snack calories
Dinner
Tilapia - Fish, 4 oz. (1 filet) 98 calories
Home made basic salad with spritzer dressing, 1 meal 83 calories
Potatoes - Red, flesh and skin, baked, 1 potato medium (2-1/4" to 3-1/4" dia) 154 calories
335 total dinner calories
PM snacks
Probably some air popped pop corn!
The workout plan is 45 minute step class...we will see how it feels. I don't think I'm going to put the 15 minute Ab workout back in yet as that really works the core which is the area that I hurt...maybe next week.
Okay...another topic for continued discussion: our new challenge name. I think we are going to need to see what everyone likes...I'd like to keep everyone happy. So, maybe everyone could copy and add a challenge name, or copy one that you like next to your name. These were the names we've come up with so far:
1. Holiday Throw Down
2. Holiday Hotties Challenge
3. Twenty Something Holiday Challenge
4. Skinny Santa Challenge

Good mornng!
Well, I am not weighing in officially until my Thursday Weight Watcher meeting. I am not down now but am not giving up.
This challenge has not brought me the weight loss that I wanted however I do love you ladies to death and that is not going to make me run. I still need the support and want to be there to offer support to those who need it!

Congrats to the those who lost this week! Keep trying hard to those who didnt(me included). Today is a new day....0 -
:grumble: Well of COURSE it came back to bite me...
Week 1: 181
Week 2: 178.4lbs (2.6 lb loss)
Week 3: 178.2lbs (0.2 lb loss)
Week 4: 180.0lbs (1.8lb GAIN)
Week 5: 176.2lbs (3.8 lb loss)
Week 6: 178.2lbs (2 lbs GAIN)
Goal weight: 169lbs (unofficial) 173.2lbs (official)
Lbs to go: 9.2 (unofficial) 5.0lbs (official)
Right. Well, on with it. I kicked the heck out of my week before my FIL's emergency and I can do it again. I've got lots of dates with the gym lined up for myself and I can do it! I don't know about 5 lbs, but I just want to get under my lowest weigh-in of 176.2 for next week. That means getting down 2.1lbs or more but I know I can do it.
Congrats to all the losers and maintainers!! Remember, as much as we all have challenge-specific goals, training ourselves and weeding out the issues that will hold us back has also been part of this challenge. I think we've all had a lot of opportunity to do so and that, too, is a success. Now let's sprint our last week and show what we can do!

BBL with meals - haven't planned them yet. :flowerforyou:0 -
Hi again :bigsmile: I also meant to say, remember that we get to re-do our measurements at the end of this week? We may see unexpected progress there too.
Here are my meals for the day:
1: homemade rice & steel-cut oat multi grain porridge w/ 1/4 cup skim milk & 1 banana
2: 1 apple, 1 hard-boiled egg
3: 1/2 sprouted grain bagel w/ 1.5 tbsp almond butter
4: 1 homemade porridge muffin w/ 1 tbsp homemade apple butter & choc protein shake
5: 16 baby carrots & 2 smoked salmon nuggets
6: lentil vegetable chicken curry w/ 1 slice Ezekiel sodium-free bread, 1.5 tbsp hummus & 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
Work out will be a step & pump class at the gym (it's cool: the whole 55 mins is 5 mins cardio then 5 mins weights. It's a great interval class!)
Well, today is busy. I have to run some errands for Ava's birthday party next Monday, bake muffins, make a fruit tray, set the kiddos up to make a craft for Grandpa, start sewing undecorated felt puppets (for Ava's b-day. The kids are going to make felt puppets as the main craft)... and all before 4pm so I can make my class! Busy day indeed!
Kristin, thanks for taking the time to be so organized about the name for the next challenge!
Cathy, sorry things are tense at your place. I hope your son finds some solutions soon.
Amy, don't worry about things. You'll hit your stride :flowerforyou:!
Cass, still sending you love. Let us know how you and your daughter are doing!
Deb, you're right - progress is progress! It's good to be reminded of that from time to time!
Lauryn, glad to see you're still lurking. How are you feeling??
Hi everyone else.. sorry about the scattered personals these days. I've been so distracted. Well, on with my wild day!
:glasses:0 -
Pedal - you are so right! I had almost forgotten about measuring so crossing my fingers for some good changes there next week too!!
I know i suggested one but I changed my mind so....

Otherwise doing well so far today, just getting ready for some soup for lunch since it is pretty chilly here. I ended up not working at school very long though so I am back home and might make scrambled eggs instead since I will be way under cals if I only have soup. Great job to our losers so far and everyone else hang in there, week 6 should be our best one yet, and if nothing else, we know we are better prepared for the holidays by doing this Sexy in 6 challenge.0 -
So far it's looking like people are liking "Sixers Holiday Challenge" which is good because it is another "six" week challenge. But let's see from everyone else before we decide.
I'm just on lunch still. Ended up having a tootsie pop also (60 cal). Still should be within calories for the day.
Have a good one ladies!0 -
Good afternoon ladies!!
I am down 3lbs from last week! Amazing, I was just hoping I wouldnt GAIN anything from my absence from exercise last week!! :noway: I was shocked this morning when I stepped on the scale, first it read 183.2 (which would have been a 3.8lb loss) and I COULD NOT believe it lol So I apprehensively stepped on it again..and it was 184.0! I weighed *3* more times just to make sure it was right..and 184.0 all 3 other times!!
Week 1: 198
Week 2: 195
Week 3: 191.8
Week 4: 189.6
Week 5: 187.0
Week 6: 184.0
14lbs lost out of goal of 12lbs(approx. 20%) to lose.
Kristin- Its probably just excess water you are holding that has you as the same weight last week, so I wouldnt worry about it!! Plus, maybe Tuesdays are a heavy day for you!! Thanks for adding my choices in the next challenge name choice!!
Cathy- Im so happy for you
Congrats on the loss! I hope things workout with your son..Im sure it can be frustrating for both you and your son!!!
Pedal- Maybe you are retaining a little water too? Or maybe today is a heavy day for you?? Check again tomorrow and see if there is a difference!!
Deb- I agree with you, progress however small, is still progress!!
Amy (PDX)- This IS a great, supportive group of ladies isnt it??? I feel the same way and am soo happy I signed up here in July! I dont know if I could have made sooo much progress without you guys
AmyLou- You have such a positive attitude :bigsmile: Its contagious lol! You are working hard, and I bet you will for sure see a difference in inches!!
Thats all the personals I can remember lol, if I forgot anyone I am soooo sorry!!

HELLO LADIES!!
Thanks Rhiannon!! I'm feeling the love. :happy:
Things are going....okay....DD and I are doing good, we are safe and happy together...trying to get in some resemblence of a routine....We are back in our home..."he" is out, living with a friend. So we have our stuff and our surroundings and that has seemed to help a lot.
I got on the scale this morning, telling myself if I only gained 3 pounds I'd be happy...well...I only gained .2 pounds over the last couple weeks. So officially I'm at 186.2. I'm pretty darn happy about that considering that I will go one day with eating hardly anything and then the next eating a package of cookies. I'm going to give myself a goal of 2 pounds by next week. I will have missed my original goal of 8 pounds during this challenge, but if I can end up under 185, I'll be super happy.
It is just really hard for me to get motivated...and stay on track when I'm not in the mood to eat. Today...I've had coffee, a banana and a yogart...and its 12:30.
I'll try to get going here!0 -
Hey hey ladies. Quick check in again from me!
Cass!!!! (**Squeals with excitement!**) I'm SO happy to hear from you and that you are doing well! You can totally get back on track here...I have faith in you, my friend!
Alrighty ladies...let's stay on track for this last week! WE CAN DO IT!!!!!0 -
I hit 160 today. :noway:
I started at 167. :noway:
Omgosh, I am pee-in-my-pants happy!!!!!!Cathy...

Cass my dear!!! I'm so glad to hear a happier tone from you - sounds like a positive direction :flowerforyou: :happy: Good for you for taking care of yourself!
Lauryn, wahoooo!!! Good on ya girlfriend :happy: Very positive!
Well, it seems like my total and utter lack of discretion this past week has refreshed a sugar addiction in my body.
But if I'm aware I'm able to kick it. I made the ridiculous choice of buying some cookies at the store and had... a few... so I decided to take action. I got my step out (the perks of being a trainer include having a TON of equipment here at home ...step, hand weights, exercise ball.....) put on some dance music and choreographed myself some step work, worked out for 40 mins to the music, and burned 400 cals :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I'll have my interval class tonight and may also have time for my C25K week 3 day 2 but either way I've made up for the cookies (the bakery was baking while I was there and it was just too much for my poor weak self to take today. NO MORE EXCUSES. It was just a really bad call.) and that feels REALLY good. It was a great "step class" too - I would love to teach again. hehe
Well, I just had to come confess and I'm so glad I did - great to see you guys Cass and Lauryn!0 -

Katy - oh my goodness girl! How ever do you do it? Rock on!!
Lauryn - woohooo!!!!!!!! So excited for you! :bigsmile:
Pedal - I would have done the same thinking with the cookies, good for you getting out the step and working it off!!
Nellie - 1/2 a pound is STILL 1/2 a pound!!!!
Just checking in, keep up the good work today ladies!!0 -
Hey hey girlies...me AGAIN! Man...I am getting bad again! :laugh: Oh well.
Rhiannon...how AWESOME to choreograph some stuff. My dream is to get certified to teach some fitness classes. I would LOVE to teach BodyPump and Step...LOVE those classes. But I am still far from that...just something I would love to do someday.
Lauryn...OMG!!!! How AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: WTG girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shanell...nice job this week! 1/2 pound is great! Keep it up! I know you can get through the dreaded TOM!!!!
I am SO excited about going to Step class tonight but a little nervous as it will be my first time back since hurting my back...I SO hope that it goes well! I am SO excited for the next challenge also...I have a few ideas of goals for us to make...I'll share them when we start the new challenge. I'm really thinking we will be going with Sixers Holiday Challenge...but still waiting on the remaining gals to cast their votes!
Well, have a FABULOUS evening girls and if I don't get back on tonight (probably not with the dreaded dial up at home) then I will check in in the morning!0 -
Kristin, I really hope your class goes well!!!! I'm also really excited for the next challenge. There's always that good energy that comes from a new challenge, and I think this one will be ending at the right time. So many of us have had difficulties during this challenge and it will be nice to start fresh!!
I am pretty sure I'll go back to teaching once I'm able to reliably keep a schedule. Right now my little guy isn't ready for that and I'm more than happy to wait until it's the right time!
Katy, I agree - how do you do it?!?! So awesome :drinker:
Shanell, good for you!! And just think, it will make your next weigh-in that much better
Well, time to get ready for the gym! I'm going to be so tired tonight... but at least I'll be able to go to bed with a clear conscience - and I will know that my new mission is to wean off of the sugar again. Ugh. But it will work out, just like before! Have a great night everyone!!!
Oh, I'm also going to add my original measurements here so that they're easier for me to find next week. I don't want to have to search back for week 1 and right now it's still in "my topics" but only barely!
Height- 5'10"
Upper arm- 12"
Bust- 41.5"
Waist- 39"
Hips- 40.75"
Thigh- 21"
Total- 154.25"0 -
Hey girls! Quickly checking in before bed. I weighed myself again...and I usually weigh more later in the day, but I'm back down to that 160.0 pounds like I new I really was, so I adjusted and am going by that number! I also stayed for my Step class and it felt GREAT! So good to get some normalcy back! Next week I will add the ab work back in and then consider starting with weights again. It will be a slow process, but I WILL get there!
Good night my girls! I'll be back in the morning!0 -
Hello all! Katy and Lauryn, great job on those losses! I weighed myself two days ago, and was down 3 pounds, but official weigh in on Tuesday I had added one back. So....
W1: 201.5
W2: 198.0
W3: Gone, didn't post
W4: 198.0
W5: 197.0
W6: 195
Just realized that I've been posting 10 pounds less all along than what I actually am. Don't know how that has been happening?!? Wishful thinking I guess....

GREAT Loss Robin!!! :drinker:
Morning everyone!! So I like Kristin, felt like my weigh in yesterday was just not right, I don't know, maybe Tuesdays just aren't my days. But I just weighed in again this morning and it said 155.6 so down 1.2 pounds from last week! yay!! So if its okay with you all I'm going to go with that. :bigsmile:
Busy day again today but am running my C25K Week 2: Day 2 Today and will do some ab work maybe too.
Mealwise:
B: multi grain cheerios, skim milk,
S: special K bar
L: fiber one oats and chocolate bar (I don't know how much time I will have for lunch since we are working on a group project.
S: jello sugar free fat free snack cup - strawberry leftover brown rice, fiesta veggies and taco meat?
I think this will leave me short still, so I may allow myself some peanut butter toast or something this afternoon. I'm not sure.
I will check back in later ladies, Keep up the good work!!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
