As of this morning, I am one pound away from 200, so anything more than that in the next two weeks, and I may actually reach my goal of ONEderland!!! (I'm totally going to take a picture of that scale when it says 199.) Ordinarily, I would say easy peasy, but lately, my weight loss has slowed considerably, so I'm not as confident in how fast I can lose. It would be just like to me stay the same weight through 8/27. We'll see. fingers crossed!I'm an August Virgo...8/27
I don't like putting dates on my goals b/c I get far too discouraged if I don't make it. But it sure would be nice to reach ONEderland by then. It's not looking likely at the slow rate I've been losing.0 -
Rabbit, thanks for asking about me. Not allowed to "exercise" yet. Chiropractor says I have to hold off. I am still watching what I eat and trying to ATLEAST get some walking in but for right now I'm not able to do much of anything. I am SO ready to get healed and get back to business. I'm used to working out daily for atleast 90 mins a day.
I am missing my workouts so badly. Not giving up though. Don't give up on me my fellow Virgo's. Just a minor set back.

I would send you a bunch of daisies but the emoticon isn't working right now ):0 -
Count me in. My bday is in sept as well (Virgo). I would like to lose 5 lbs this month and another 5lbs next month. I want to be out of 150's and 140's if possible. My goal is 1-2lbs a week. I also signed up for a 5K (on 9/25). So, all the prep will hopefully get me to my goal.
Cheers to all Virgo ppl!. I know we are perfectionist and hard-working.
Let us do it!
Great job creating doable goals for your Birthday!!!!0 -

Thanks!!! On a good note, Chiro says I am allowed to walk. That's it though. So I walked 2 miles today. Took it slow so ended up being @ an 45 mins to and hour but atleast I did it!! You're the best! Thanks for the love and support!!:flowerforyou:0 -

Hello Virgo Challengers! Weekend Thoughts...
Happy Friday to all & I want to wish you a nice enjoyable weekend.
Let's all take our fitness very seriously this weekend as we have a weigh-in
coming up on Monday morning. I have been doing my weigh-in after ladies room
and before eating / drinking, in the morning, wearing just my swimsuit. I think this
attempt to get the most accurate weight is actually rather fun and ritualistic.
I was weighing once a week but have gone now to bi-weekly. Since I have been zigzagging
calories I hope to have broken thru that last plateau, altho this week has proved to be
somewhat detrimental (in the eating dept) due to family gatherings at eateries LOL
Well, it's all okay and feeling fine about it now that I have come to terms with my
cravings, realizing it helps my body adjust to give it treats here and there!!!
I have been indulging in 100 calorie ice cream bars all week!! I am not going to bring
any more of those into the house...promise myself! I will keep making banana yogurt ice cubes
.. oh and probably enjoy a frozen fruit bar now & then as well
QUESTIONS:
1) What do you do on weekends to burn extra calories if you indulge in too many treats?
2) Can you share at least one idea with the rest of the group that you have about getting
"into the zone", when you really don't feel like exercising at all?
Thanks to everyone for participating in this~ our first full week of The Virgo Challenge!!!
Go out there and get that brass ring of health 8-) and have a blast doin'it!!!0 -
I am at 186.2 now and I would like to be a solid 182 by my birthday. It's gonna be a tight squeeze because my birthday is the 26th of August, but I know I can do it! That's 2 pounds a week! woof! 0

It's odd but weekends aren't any harder than normal weekdays. I go skating on Sunday mornings, but I've not had to do anything in excess of that. (I skate Friday mornings, too, but I'm not sure if that counts as a weekend.)QUESTIONS:
1) What do you do on weekends to burn extra calories if you indulge in too many treats?
2) Can you share at least one idea with the rest of the group that you have about getting
"into the zone", when you really don't feel like exercising at all?
As for exericising, you really have to find something you enjoy. It's not easy finding that. It can be SO hard finding an exercise you enjoy. It may be DVDs. It may not always be something provided by a gym membership.0 -

Thanks for the motiviating post... If you asked me what am I doing 2 hours ago, I would have jumped up and down and said, see my diary for the past 2 days!. Unfortunately I had a disater last night.. Anyways, long story short.. I need to move on after one bad episode last night. Other than that, I am doing great in the food dept. I plan on continuing to stay on track in the food dept. Here are my weekend plans -
1. Make my own meals for the weekend
2. Jog/Run 5K Sat AM and walk a little more
3. Sunday - Gym class or Elliptical for cardio. Do weight 30mins.
4. Hang out and have great time my family!
Cheers!0 -
I set a Virgo challenge goal of 4 or 5 pounds by my birthday, Aug. 23. I am half way there! That leaves 9 days to lose 2 more pounds. Time to step it up!0

1 - i really like walking around my neighborhood, it's about 2.2 miles with some nice hills and burns around 350 calories
i do it early in the mornings during the week, but it's nice to walk after dinner on weekend's too.
2 - whenever i feel like i'm getting off track with my eating or exercise, and i need an extra push....i get on netflix and i order one of those documentaries about food and nutrition and exercise, or anything about being healthy. it might sound weird, but for me, it really works. plus, i know SO much more now about food and exercise that i was clueless about before!
have a good weekend Virgos!!0 -
1. Sunday is usually last gym day of the week. (I usually go 3 days a week.) Not sure how it's going to workout right now with my back so I'm hoping to just push myself and get in as much walking as I can. I am REALLY ready to get back into my high calorie burning exercises.
2. Whenever I DON'T feel like exercising I just hope on here and find whatever bit of motivation I need to keep going. You guys/gals are great!!!~0 -
:happy: Okay! I'm back..got a bit of a distraction here for a few
Let's all do the best we can to lose whatever amount of weight we personally set for ourselves by our Birthdays.
For example, I have a goal to lose 10 pounds in about 4 1/2 weeks and if, for some reason I don't make that goal,
I will definitely have it accomplished by September 17th!
Do our best to check-in here on topic forum once a day to talk about goals for the day, new foods or new activities, etc.
Add each other to your friends list and let's get to doing this!
Post your target date in your signatures and off we gooooooooooooooo:glasses:
oh my! im the 17th too! except that its my 30th!0 -

This is soooo inspiring to me! 9 days is plenty of time with clean eating and setting new goals in the
exercise dept! I have a very good feeling about this, especially with that electric smile of yours!
You can do anything you wish and you shall
May I ask, do you have any special BDay plans set yet? I may be going to San Diego for mine,
it falls on a Saturday this year! yay!0 -

Craft~
You have done it again! I am going to do my own neighborhood walk thanks to you. Today I will drive the route
to get the mileage (for my own info purposes), then I will take 2 of my regular exercise mornings this coming
week to do the route, which sounds exactly like your neighborhood!! There are lots of beautiful gardens with rolling hills and
even a huge one that is probably at least a 30 degree angle and quite tall. I have always wanted to take it on LOL!!!
Next, I will go home and order some of the suggestions you made, from Netflix!!! Thank you very much indeed~
All the best~0 -

No loss this week but NO GAIN either!!!:bigsmile: So I am counting that as a victory. This weekend wasn't as easy as I'd hoped it would've been. Was hurting in my back pretty constantly all weekend although I did manage to get a little exercise in even if it was just me cleaning (btw, mopping the kitchen will not be done by me again until I heal some more.) Today is a new day and a new week. I will continue to strive and work as hard as I possibly can. I am thinking that I might need to change my goal more to like 5lbs though considering. What do you think Rabbit?? Going back to the chiro this afternoon. Hoping he can give me a little more relief and some good news. Love to all and GOOD LUCK on meeting your goals! You CAN do ANYTHING you put your mind too!!!! Love ya my fellow VIrgos!

It's a brand new week for the Virgo Challenge!
I had to change my weigh-in day to Tuesday this week
due to circumstances beyond any control lol :blushing:
How is everyone else faring on this front?
I am basically to the point that I had to turn away from
MFP yesterday so that I could reset my logging in to start
over because I was really feeling like I was in a rut. I think
that by starting a whole new log from August 15, now I can say
"OK. you have 30 days to drop these last ten tenacious:grumble: pounds"!
:happy: I have been turning fat to muscle but I still believe that I will be able
to reach my goal weight of 125# by then~!!!:bigsmile:
Any of you have any special tricks (besides zigzagging calories which I do)
to 86 the last of these stubborn moheekans? lol any advise is greatly appreciated :glasses:0 -
Lost 3lbs this week0
-
last week - 213.6
this week - 210.4
week's loss - 3.2 lbs :drinker:
i'm SOOO happy about this loss!! :bigsmile: i had a 1 lb loss last week and NOTHING the week before so i'm glad i made up a little bit this week! i still won't get to 199.9 by my birthday, but i knew that was pushing it, anyway! just thought it would be a fun goal.
good luck everybody!!! :flowerforyou:0 -

No heat yet, just ice. He said it was better yesterday when I went compared to when I was there Saturday. I will be changing my goal. I'll TRY for 7lbs. Wish me luck.
Yep, mopped the kitchen. LOL Well, with 4 kids it gets pretty nasty and if I didn't do it, well you know, it wouldn't get done. The chiro did tell me that I CAN'T do that again until I'm healed more. So, looks like SOMEONE in the house will be learning how to mop very soon.
Since the only form of exercise I'm allowed to do is walking, I WILL be walking AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!! Have a great day/week my Virgo friends!!! 0 -
