Hey all...I did terribly this week. Gained a few pounds and definitely not happy about it but I can't say I didn't expect it. Last weekend I had to eat a lot in order to maintain energy for the bike ride. This week I've been stressed and down and have over eaten quite a bit. I'm really trying to get back in the saddle here. Trying to make a plan! So Berries and Bananas, I'm sorry!!! I promise I'll do better!!0

We have a new Peach on our "MFP Family Tree"
(I say family tree b/c we all grow on trees/bushes & I feel like you're my extended family)
Welcome to the challenge SexyJaye!!
ya Babe!! 0 -
Hey, has anyone heard from our last two fruits, nikalosingweight and islander? They still haven't weighed in for the week.0
-
I've sent Courtney (islander) a message. Hopefully I'll hear something from her. As for Nika, she posted (on her own page) about her limited ability to get on the internet so I'm going to cut her some slack. I can tell her heart is still in the competition so I don't want to punish her for that! Keep up the great work Nika!
And yes, we have a new challenger!! She's a PEACH and her name is Jaye (sexyjaye). I'm a little behind on my to-do list so I still have to update the spreadsheet, etc. But feel free to friend her and welcome her to our competition!
On another note, congratulations APPLES on being this week's winners!!! You guys rocked this week! And the individual for the third week in a row was WARLOCKSMISTRESS!! Nice work! You are a definite inspiration!0 -
Congrats Apples and Warlockmistress!!!!! And yay for our new Peach! Welcome! Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I'm going apple picking today, woohoo!!! Lot's of walking and carrying 89374754 lbs of apples, good work out! Keep up the good work everyone!0

WAY TO GO APPLES!!!!
Welcome to the challenge sexyjaye!
Alright BLUE BERRIES, this is OUR week to show all those other fruits what we're made of!!!!!!!! We're more than just mushy blue berries! We're lean mean fighting machines! Let's DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How did everyone do on the weekend challenge????? I was pretty impressed with myself... Sunday was HARD! We had a potluck after church, but I limited myself with what I had. Then we didn't eat dinner, cause we typically don't on Sunday nights with leading youth group and all, but I did have a piece and a half of a homemade heath bar cheesecake I made for the kids... it was amazing! And I still came under :-)
I had a 5k today... came in 702nd out of about 2,000. Lol. Not my best time ever, but not my worst!
So this week....... what's the challenge??? Lets make it something good!! And keep up on your water ladies!!!0 -
I caught food poisoning on Saturday.. Couldn't keep anything down & what I did keep down, didn't last long in my body. :[
Getting back on track today! YAY!
Let's go PEACHES 0 -
How's everyone doing this week? not long til weigh in!0
-
IT'S ALREADY TUESDAY?! where does the time go?
My weekend challange was a flop! Went apple picking and instead of going to a local restaurant we ended up at PF Changs. Food was great, rediculous in calories! Sunday was a birthday chili cook off, which I only ate a little, but wasn't sure how to log it. I think the Bears losing made me eat even more! :mad: But it's a new day, time to get back on track for weigh ins! Hope everyone's week is going well. LET'S GO PEACHES!!!!!!! :flowerforyou: 0 -

Time is flying... I feel like I have done great this week and I did good this weekend, but I cannot seem to shake off these last couple of pounds to get into the 140s! I have never in my life been so irritated with anything! I am truly at a loss as to what to do to make it happen......0

Firstly - Get well soon Paula!:flowerforyou:
Secondly - Congratulations to The Red Apples and Warlocksmistress for last weeks results:drinker:
Thirdly - I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S WEIGH IN DAY TOMORROW!!!!! :noway:
Hope everyone is well and having a good week! I started the 30 Day Shred on Monday, and planning to do Day 3 this evening, so I feel like I've had a good one. I put on quite a bit last week (2+ lbs) due to holidays and just not logging so I hope I'm back on track (again) and can make the Bananas proud! :bigsmile:0 -
Hmmmm, I'm feeling I might have stayed the same or even put on this week
Not sure yet, have to find out tomorrow. It's also my time of the month so that's not helping. Lots of luck everyone x 0 -
How can weigh-in day be tomorrow already??? Wow.... Okay, so I feel like I've had a good week, but am definitely still struggling with these same 3-4 pounds :grumble: Not too pleased... I hope tomorrow I at least show a loss! Even though it'll be the same pounds I've been losing for 2 months now! In an effort to break through this platuea I am trying a couple new things.....
1. Calorie zig-zagging - it's all the rage on the boards these days, so I figure I'll be a cool kid and try it too
So here is my calorie schedule:
Monday 1225
Tuesday 1225
Wednesday 1469
Thursday 1225
Friday 1225
Saturday 1347
Sunday 1225
I found this website to help me with it:
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
2. I am going to incorporate weight-training into my exercise routine (if you can call it a "routine"). Right now I mainly run. I have tried to start Ripped in 30 twice now... I do it for 1 week and then stop. Probably because I try to wake up an hour early to fit it into my busy schedule. So, I think now that the weather is getting gross out (Ohio Fall! Love it!) I will run on the nice evenings, and do Ripped in 30 and some ab workouts the other days. I gotta make sure my running buddy is on-board with this, but I feel like she will be.
So I will let you all know how this goes and if I break through my plateau! :bigsmile:0 -
Sorry you've been unwell, Paulahhh, but I'm glad you're feeling better now. I hope everyone else is well!
I have had an awful week this week. I'm dreading weigh in tomorrow. The eating hasn't been great, but that I know I can get back on top of next week (it's my birthday on Friday and I'm planning on enjoying champagne, cocktails & Moqueca over the weekend). My main problem is getting back to exercise. I've completely lost all motivation to do anything. I've been doing odd bits of exercise for the past three weeks and haven't had any proper routine. I'm not sure how to kick start my good habits again.
What do you do to re-motivate yourselves?0 -
weigh in tomorrow?!?!? ALREADY!!!?????? AHHHHHH! Im a little nervous my sodium has been high this week but ive been trying to drink a gallon of water a day to help with that....... on a lighter note tomorrow is payday so ill be able to go grocery shopping for some healthier food!0
-
Okay my fruity gals... tomorrow is weigh-in day! I know we all have been a bit down and struggling these past couple of weeks. But tomorrow is weigh-in and a fresh start to our next week of weight loss! So let's make tonight a great night and every day from here on out, we all need to be 100% committed to losing these 20 pounds by Thanskgiving!!!! LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drinker:0
-
I feel like weigh-in day creeps up on us faster and faster each week... so here we go again! I'm still struggling to break through 152 lbs, and it doesn't help that my sodium intake is WAY up. Lots of water though! And I start a 6-week yoga program tonight, so I hope that will help me get rid of at least some of the salt the night before weigh-in day.... here's hoping! And good luck to everyone!!0

Hey all - yeah it's been another tough week for me. Why is this so difficult this time of year? ahh. Anyways, I started a new weight program on Monday and so far it's been good. I'm immensely sore all over but it's good to feel sore for once! The next thing I have to get in check is my eating habits. logging every meal just isn't realistic right now. I'm up to my eyeballs in school work and can't seem to log on consistent enough to be successful. So I'm trying to focus on portion sizes and eating only when I'm hungry. Can't say it's been working all that well but I'm trying to convince myself that it's time to make lifestyle changes, not just stick to a diet. I cannot believe weigh in is here again so quickly! I won't be able to weigh again tomorrow but I will on friday morning as I did last week. Hope everyone has had a great week! Keep up the healthy habits!0
-
Morning everybody!!!
I did lose this week, which has brought me back down to the weight I was when this challenge began... now to lose the rest of it.:grumble: lol
I started the 30DS on Monday and Jillian is definitely kicking my *kitten* hard! But I'm feeling more toned already and I'm only on Day 4! :bigsmile: Strongly recommend it to anyone you needs a bit of a boost or is thinking about trying it!
Good luck to everyone else this fine weigh in day! GO BANANAS! :happy:0 -
I lost a teenie bit, 3/4 of a lb, not bad as I thought I was more likely to have put on some! It's made me feel more motivated, like what I'm doing is actually working as I've lost something (although it's only small amounts) every week. yay!0

Hello ladies! I forgot to weigh in this morning, so I'll have to do it tomorrow. Congrats to the "losers"! I think I may have gained from last week b/c it's my TOM, ugh.0

THAT JUST MEANS NEXT WEEKS WEIGH IN WILL BE EVEN BETTER!!!!!!!!0 -
Argh. I'm up. (Sorry Blue Berries.) I had a crazy week: started up business, birthday, lost wallet, not enough sleep or water, and TOM started this am.
Getting back on track today. Hopefully next weeks weigh in will rock! I really, really want to be under 200...0 -
Oops, I thought today was Wednesday, so I didn't weigh. I will do it tomorrow morning though! Don't get your hopes up, I am sure I gained, it was a BAD week for me!0
-

And to those of you that have gained just remember: tomorrow is a new day! :flowerforyou: and to lose of you that lost GOOD JOB! Keep up the good work ladies! and I hope everyone has a good rest of the week and weekend! Before you know it, it'll be Thursday again 0
