Mini 2 pound short term challenge

chrissyh

I want to lose another 2 pounds by end of November which will put me at 30 pounds in 3 months.

Who's with me?? We'll weigh in on Dec 1.

Anyone brave enough to dare try even with Thanksgiving in between.......:devil:

I am with you!!! I am actually trying to lose it before next Tuesday hahahaha....I go back home that day...

chrissyh

That sounds ok to me but I just lost 1 over past couple so not sure if I can do 2 by Tuesday - how does this sound - lose 2 pounds before Dec 1 - so whenever we hit it we'll celebrate!!

I'm in...I'm supposed to be losing 2 pounds per week, but for like the past month I've been bingeing big time...and with being sick and drinking so many more calories than I usually do (I'm used to drinking water and only water and these past three days I've been drinking Vitamin Water and apple juice because regular water irritates my throat...no idea why lol) I'm sure I'll struggle to even maintain this week. Being part of this challenge will keep me accountable...so I'm definitely in!

chrissyh

You can do it! I love Vitamin water but have avoided it due to the Calories but if you are sick and not eating right I would think it's a smart move. At least you're getting some vitamins that are so needed.

kwill23

I"ll join in although i would really like to loose 4lbs by the Dec 1.

chrissyh

If you get to 4, we'll celebrate twice as hard!

I am so with you! I have 3 pounds to goal weight and i think i can do two by the end of Nov! Yay!!!! i love the challenge!

Mufasa0331

HECK YES!! I am all down for losing 3 or 4 pounds by end of November.

I watched Bio-Dome while I was on the elliptical last night... haha laughing and exercising...double burn!! :laugh:

Isn't it hard to laugh and exercise at the same time, if i tried to watch something funny while running on my treadmill i would probably fall off the end of it.

chrissyh

How many calories do you burn laughing.......10 to 40 calories, depending on how much people weigh and how intensely they are laughing.


:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: HE HE HA HA :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: HA HE HA HE

Does that count??

I'm in...I am kinda stuck in a rut! I am new to this whole thing, but I think we can all do it! I would love to lose 4lbs by the end of the month! But I will shoot for the 2bls with ya. I am having a hard time eating over 1,000 calories when I need to be eating 1700...any advice?

Glad to have you...
Almonds add calories in pretty quick - they are good for you too

Now when I have a few extra calories I love to get a skinny mocha - I can't remeber exactly but around 200 cals. Not the healthy choice but oh so good!! Is 1700 your BMR?

It says great things that you've not given up! You can do it!!

smitty328

I'm not sure....my trainer set all this up for me and said I have to hit those marks everyday..are you kidding me, I feel like I am eating a lot of food. I am also on the whey protein drink to help out with the protein points...... I guess I run out of ideas on what to eat.
Karen~

chrissyh

Karen -ask your trainer for some ideas - maybe protein snack bars? I use to love to eat Power Bar in the chocolate - like a fudgy brownie candy bar kinda thing.

smitty328

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it

chrissyh

2 pounds (or more) by Dec 1 - we can do it!!!!!

LOL it took me a while to get mybalance right but I usually alternate between holding the elliptical arms, or pumping my arms w/o holding on to anything but I think I got it down. now drinking water doing the elliptical and watching Bio-Dome laughing-that's a tough one especially when you almost snort water out... :laugh:

Does that count??

If that is the case my co-worker and I should be burning calories left and right because we spend a majority of the day laughing...usually at my retardedness or some random movie quote we throw out.

chrissyh

So we've figured out how many calories for laughing ..... maybe we should check on typing!

Good night all! Talk to you tomorrow!

chrisshy,

Thank you for your encouragement. I can't wait for us all to tell each other we made it through the holidays and lost weight.... (That will definitely be a first for me).

chrisshy,

Thank you for your encouragement. I can't wait for us all to tell each other we made it through the holidays and lost weight.... (That will definitely be a first for me).

I think I will eat everything that I REALLY want just in appropriate amounts! The stuffing is my favorite - I am the cook so I am able to manipulate some recipes to be a bit healthier for all of us - I won't take it to an extreme I don't want to "force" healthy living on my family and friends. I think in time they as my husband has will see it's better for us.

I am going with "normal" buttery garlic mashed-I can live without them, friend is making sweet taters so I'll have a small scoop, turkey is great, butternut squash will have no butter this year - I am using a hungry girl recipe with maple syrup; I can skip rolls, broccoli casserole - i'll be very careful there's no healthy way to make that one:devil: ,maybe a little gravy so say I've had some.......


I don't know we'll see how it goes--I plan on getting up early and working out so try to counter it a bit. Then friday morning in between shopping I'll do the same thing.

I am sooooo into this! Great challenge! Breaking it into small steps is making the goal more achievable. We have guests arriving on the 28th, so losing the 2lbs in a week would be awesome (she's so skinny, aw). Reporting in on the 1st of Dec will make me accountable throughout their visit, too.

I this challenge!

chrissyh

did you notice my ticker - 1 of 2 gone - i am shocked but loving it!!!!!

Mufasa0331

haha I weighed early.....(i normally weight every Tuesday) but I was curious and I have already dropped 2.5 pounds....and that was with my clothes still on....so I think my portion of the mini challenge has been accomplished....lol

Come on peeps! WE can all do this lets have lots of success stories on Dec1st!!

BrandNewLaura

I weigh in tomorrow and should be down my 2 pounds...although I'm sure being sick and drinking so much juice may have done me in...so I'm praying for anything but a gain...
