Hey guys!!! I am Christine and am so looking forward to this challenge - good luck to everyone on here!!!!!! We can do this!!!

1. What is the #1 thing/saying/thought/whatever that motivates YOU?

Seeing my son grow right before my eyes, makes me want to be a healthier, happier person and get in shape to keep up with him in the future. Also, to build my self-confidence and be one hot momma!

2. What are your plans for the Labor Day Holiday?

Cookout and hang out with my awesome husband and son, his family, and our friends. Also watch plenty of football and tailgate with healthy food!

3. What is something that nobody on MFP knows about you?

My husband is leaving for 9 months to go to "school" for the Navy in San Diego, CA - so definitely not looking forward to that - but it is temporary I guess. So......I will not only be a working mom of an almost 8 month old and 2 dogs with a house, yard, etc....but a feel more or less like a single parent - so going through a rough time right now. But what doesnt kill me will definitely make me stronger... just had to get it out there:) Thanks for listening!


Oh...............I will post my inches tonight - forgot to measure yesterday:)

2. What are your plans for the Labor Day Holiday? I will be working! The other girls at the bar I bartend for want the weekend off, so I will be closing down the bar!

3. What is something that nobody on MFP knows about you? That I've put off going back to school because I'm because I'm afraid that I will gain all my weight back!

LADIES:

Do you think we should add each other as friends, so that we may MOTIVATE~ENCOURAGE & SUPPORT each other? :happy:
I think it would certainly help.

They're not Big Ten until they've earned it! Lol.

so we are approaching hump day...how is everyone doing so far? I've met all my goals for tuesday (monday i ate too much) and have lost two pounds since monday (water weight)...hoping more comes off soon!

I'm also measuring in the morning because i keep forgetting!

hrshipley

Hey!!! Monday and Tuesday have been right on with my goals!

Cass are we going to add challenges to the mix next week?

How is everyone else doing?!?

shannonaufman

So far so good on the goals! I've been under calories, good on water (which is the very hardest part for me), good on exercise. My husband and I have been enjoying little 25-minute walks in the evening to address the challenge! Tomorrow will be a test... I don't typically exercise on Wednesdays (well, I'll do the 20-minute walk to get the challenge)... so it tends to be tricky to meet my calorie goals. I'll do my best, though!!!

gatorflyer

Forgot a brief intro. My name is Sue and I've been an MFPer for going on 11 months. I've been heavy all my life and I've decided that enough is enough. I am embracing this new lifestyle and am less than 10 pounds from what I've set as my goal weight. We'll see if that changes when I get there. Monday and Tuesday have been really good days with food, exercise and water. Gearing up to push myself this weekend and extend my walking distance to 9 miles. Good luck to all of you. Remember, anything you put your mind to, you can achieve.

aprylkemper

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Last night I did 15 min stretching after my Turbo Fire workout because I am horrible about not taking time to stretch....it was a nice addition to my night

thedreamhazer

The challenge is going pretty well for me so far, despite so bumps in the road. I'm so far on track for everything! I've added a lunchtime run to my workout routine, and I'm loving it! I think I'll keep it up.

Tonight, I'm getting back to weight training. I've not done it for a couple weeks due to the craziness of visiting friends and moving, but I have missed it and I know that my body has as well.

Also, I'll be starting the 200 situp challenge with a personal goal to finish before the end of September. Wish me luck!

Ladies:

I have lost 1.5 lbs since Monday. I did good on my goals for Tuesday. I started late Monday afternoon so it didn't go that well. I will stay on it though.

I am starting tabata training at home tomorrow and will also continue with the C25k :drinker:

Cass:

Are you setting challenges for us? I am a little confused.

Let me know.

Keep it up and let's do this we can all be happier come September 30th.

Aloxander

Do any of you do something different during your TOM? I get insane :explode: like a week before. I didn't believe in PMS before until I worked in Obstetrics & Gynecology.

I crave chocolate that is why I ate bad last weekend. I am expecting it this week. So I hope I do good on our Monday weigh in.

There is a challenge that was in the original email. We are challenged to add 15 minutes of exercise that we wouldn't normally get (walking at lunch, parking further away, etc.)

I get bad cravings the week before and have almost no energy to work out the week during. But worst of all is the HORRIBLE bad mood I'm in the week before and a little during. Like, seriously, EVIL seems to pour through my veins in place of blood, and there's not a thing I can do to stop it, even though I know I'm nto ACTUALLY mad at my boyfriend for teasing me about drinking a lot of water/putting his shoes in a new place/being "slow" to unlock the door/etcetcetc. Luckily, he's very understanding.

AggieCass09

I will be giving out challenges each week but am open to suggestions for next week...please messages me with challenge suggestions! Great work ladies!!!

Wow! Apparently I need to read a little better! Thank for clarifying that for me!

Is there a program you are using for the 200 situp challenge?

I am doing well so far. I even started round 2 of P90X on top my half marathon training. I guess it counts towards the 15 minutes challenge. can we roll over the extra minutes to the next day? Just kidding.

been drinking 6 cups a day. trying to increase slowly, I don't think i can drink half of my body weight.

sailorsbabydoll

I am measuring tonight ladies - sorry for the delay. Hope everyone is doing okay and good luck - we can all do this!!!
