Beautifully Loved: Valentines Day Challenge

mrsmellymac

Hello everyone! I know Friday was weigh-in day but I'm waiting on something before I weigh in. I DID weigh myself and the pounds were the same, so 211.0 is for last week, but i'm hoping that whenever this thing is done, hopefully in the next few days, I'll have dropped more. So I will update again!

Hey guys... sorry I haven't weighed in lately. Been working some crazy hours and just havent had the energy to do much else... getting back into the gym this week because I definitely want to meet my goal!

Name: Jersey

Challenge starting weight: 179.5
First Week: 178.5
Second Week: 176.8
Third Week: 176.4
Fourth Week: 175.4 lbs
Fifth Week: 175.0 lbs
Sixth Week: 174.2 lbs
Total Challenge Loss: 5.3 lbs

End of challenge goal weight: 165 lbs
Weight Loss Remaining to Goal: 9.2 lbs

Your Plan to get to your goal weight:
Ride my horse at least once a week: This has been going well! My horse is hairbrained, but it's been a fun adventure!
Continue Rushfit : I must say... I am kicking butt at this. Haven't missed a day, haven't wanted to miss a day. I look and feel fabulous and I am only getting more excited for how things will go as the program progresses.
Eat my calories in a healthy way: I think I still need work on this, I am sometimes quite significantly under, but I am making healthy choices when eating. On top of that, I am on protein powder now which is helping with my huge protein deficits.

I did some new measurements. Everything is down (yay), but it's on a post it note in the bathroom (and I am at work). lol. I will have to post before and after photos when Rushfit is done.

I bought my wedding dress! I hope to not have to order it until the beginning of february, we'll see if I drop a size by then!!

I ran a half marathon race last weekend, it was super fun because I was there to pace some friends and they all had a great race! Time to get serious with my speed training, my next race is in a little over 4 weeks!

weighed myself: i'm still the same weight...But i just found that I haven't been updating my calories.

Make sure after everytime you have a weigh in, you go under Settings->Update diet/fitness profile->Press update. After weigh ins your daily calorie allowance does NOT update automatically, and you may not have the right amount set.

[End of challenge goal weight: 180lbs]

Sept Goal: 199lbs, not seeming possible. But I will take getting OFF this mini-plateau. Maybe since now I"ve changed my cal intake, it'll help. I've started exercising 4x a week, I'm hoping to increase that to 5x for october.

Challenge Starting Measurements:
neck: 13.5
chest: 48 in
arms: left 15 in and right 14.5 in
waist: 43.0
hips: 47.0
thighs: left 23.4in and right 24in

WEEK 2 measurements
neck: 13.5
**chest: 46
arms: Left 14.5 and right 14.25
waist: 42.5
hips: 47.0
thighs: left: 23.5 and right 25 (?)....I think I didn't measure correctly the first time.


WEEK 4:
-2.0 lbs
Measurements
neck: 13.5
chest: 45.25
arms: Left 15 and right 14.50
waist: 39.5
hips: 44
thighs: left: 25.75 and right 26.5

WEEK 6:
Measurements
neck: 13.5
chest: 46--I think its because I'm nursing. I shouldn't really measure this.
arms: left 16 right 15
waist: 38.5 ---I must be doing something right! I didn't lose weight but I lost an inch
hips: 44
thighs: both are 24.5


So, I have a few NSV: first my waist is down another inch, but also, I am OUT of my 48DDD nursing bras and back into my 44DD pre-pregnancy bras! and out of the four rows of claps, I'm on the 3rd row to keep the girls up!!!! I'm going to have to buy new bras soon

Hey yall...I know yall probably know I aint been around. I wanna say sorry about that. A lot has been going on. I hate to say it but I'm not gonna be able to do this group thing. I would love it if someone would take over, that would be great. Please let me know if you would like to take this group over.

I'm sorry to let yall down. I have been told I'm newly onset diabetic. I feel like I owe myself to treat myself right and take care of myself and I don't wanna have to much on my plate! I feel bad and I wish yall the best!

Holding at 215 lbs (same as last week). I have a fancy scale though and am pleased that fat % is down and muscle % is up.

HEY LOVELY LADIES!

Did you know that it takes two days for your body (and scale) to register the things that you did to it? I.e. the calories you burned yesterday will reflect on the scale tomorrow. If you ate a whole medium pizza by yourself two days ago, it will be showing up on the scale today. So don't fret if you worked your butt off, give your body a few days to register it!! And remember to have a beautiful Sunday!

I could take over if everyone is okay with it? I have the time to put towards it and I am sure we could get creative!
We could post weekly challenges and the like to make this a little more of a group?
What are your thoughts on this guys?
