Good luck everyone with this week's challenges x0 -
Sometimes I post on my HOME page, and forget to come here. I am friends with a lot of the members of this challenge, but I may have missed some along the way (feel free to "friend me"). Anyway, I am hanging in - I think I have been make more of an effort with this challenge - with better eating, more exercise, definitely MORE WATER :laugh: . This week is going to be a tough one for me - just because I have already had some eating events, and have a couple more coming up tomorrow and Wednesday. But I am not giving up = don't get me wrong.
also your all very quiet on this forum lately so lets start using it lets put up ideas for carb free days... share all your nsv;s and inspire each other... were going into week 4 now its gone so fast and thats how its gonna continue to go and before we know it, its christmas and we will be saying "i wish i had of been better and done more"!! i dont know about you guys but i DON'T want to feel like that i want to know that i done my best and i want to feel and look great...
Anyway, back to the original reason I "quote" andreaie's post: I would LOVE to see more frequent posts on this thread from our Challenge Group. It is inspiring!! :flowerforyou: And don't forget - while you're posting, you're not eating (well - at least not most of the time.

Hi I just joined MFP and saw this challenge.. I'm a bit late but can I still join?
And how does this work? Do we check in daily, weekly?
hey solarix
i need you to send me your weight in pounds every friday...
i will set a main challenge every friday this is a week long one and then we set daily mini challenges so you need to check in every day to keep up.. i also randomly pick people to set the mini challenges some days so everyone gets to do there favorite at some stage... welcome and enjoy..
sounds good,
my weight this past friday was 132lbs and my goal for christmas is to be 115lbs.0 -
Thank you!0

Drank lemon water everyday and going semi carb and sugar free
No sugary cereals!! Also doing the muffin top workout - hating them muffins!
Have you guys true the workouts from glamour.com/magazine?
Pretty amazing, and quick too it could be part of the mini challenges: to do legs one day or ARM exercises another.
Just an idea Everyones doing great. We WILL lose this week 0 -

i am such a hipocrite... im telling all of you to post yet i havent been on in 2-3 days but thats because i dont have access to a computer and the phone app doesnt let me post on the topics i am sorry guys.....
how are you all doing this week..
i have done 1 sugar free day and i found it ok and tomorrow is my other sugar free with my no carb,... i really hope to lose 2 lb this week i really really do....
as for the hot water well i think i was a bit ambitious with that one so ive substituted it with herbal tea :blushing: :blushing:
the mini challenges are all done and i had a circuit training class this week also im gonna go for a long walk now because i have to get in 7 miles by friday.. i can do that between today and tomorrow...
your all doing so well you should be proud..
i think since i started doing this challenge i have been so much more awear of everything i eat and i am starting to feel really guilty if i eat something bad..
we can do this guys we just have to want to do it....
just wondering if you all took a picture at the start of this challenge??0 -
I took a picture along with measurements when I started MFP and if I remember correctly I started this challenge the same week. I plan on taking pics again at then end of 30DS...and if I am brave enough I might share the pics :laugh: the fact that I took them at all is huge for me!!!

I am working on trying to make friends with the people in this challenge so if you would like please request me as a friend. I am really geared to get this done and would love as much support as I can get.
I have been working on the Challenges for the week. Hot water with lemon (check),
Walk 7 extra miles- doing extra Zumba classes instead (check),
working on the two days no sugar today and tomorrow,
and 10 glasses of water a day... trying to but was not successful each day... can't wait till friday to see if I get some good results!0 -
I am doing day 2 of no sugar tomorrow been exercising when i can but problems with my dog knocked me out of it yesterday, did some today though! i really wanna lose 2lbs too so i can say i have lost a stone
I took some pictures before and after my 30 day shred so will use them too xxxx 0 -
Hi everyone, can't use the computer tomorrow, so here's the mini challenge for thursday. It's the day before the weigh-in, so I'm going to make this SEMI-evil
2 sets of 12 jump squats
3 sets of 15 reps - tricep presses
30 star crunches
3 sets of 10 - single leg dead lifts
Weigh-in in 2 days! Remember to drink your 10 glasses of water and walk the 7 miles if you haven't.
If you didn't already, try to do a low-carb/sugar day tomorrow!
Great job this week everyone! xx0 -
Hey everyone! So, Sunday night I started with the sniffles and all day Monday and Tuesday I was very sneezy and sniffly, and I felt very tired, and like my head was in a fog. :sick: So, I haven't been doing the mini challenges BUT I managed to use my exercise bike for 30 minutes on Monday and again on Tuesday. Today I feel much better and I went to Zumba tonight. Yay!
Tomorrow (Thursday) is a big TV night for me, so I'll try to do the mini challenge while I am watching. I'm not counting on a loss for Friday - it has just been a tough week. But we'll see....there's still tomorrow.
Hope everyone is hanging in there...I'd love to see some more posts on this thread. :bigsmile:0 -
Hi all hope you are all getting on great x I am doing another low carb day today i did two carb free days and have done as good as i could for no sugar i am doing another no sugar day today.

Hi everyone, sorry i ain't been around as much as normal it's just i haven't been motivated the last two weeks . Last week was tom and this week, well i don't have an excuse. Haven't done this weeks exercises or challenge. Sorry
But this morning i had my first NSV A pair of work trousers (size 18) that was a huge struggle to do up fit me perfect this morning. This was just what i needed, i feel back on track even though im dreading weigh in.
Everyone seems to be doing really well, you should all be proud of your selves 0 -

I had to look it up th is morning as well...hope this helps
Lay on your back and lift your extended legs up towards the sky. Extend your arms out and above your head. Lift your shoulder blades off of the ground and reach with your extended arms forward and through your open legs. Focus on squeezing your abs throughout this exercise. This exercise targets your abs, core, thighs and improves flexibility.0 -

Fantastic mini challenge today :happy:
I loved the star crunches & I will be adding them to ab ripper 100 (from P90) I am going to start doing that daily along with 30DS.0 -
your all doing a fantastic job guys.. charlene im loving your nsv hopefully that will give you the nudge you need... dont kow about you guys but since i have started mfp i have noticed that if i fall of the wagon or lose motivation its really easy to get back on that day or the next day where as if i was doing it myself or with a sliming group i could fall off the wagon for weeks at a time and undo all the hard work... i hope it stays this way :happy: :happy: :happy:
im happy to see the thread been used a lot more:laugh: :laugh:
so today so far my carb free is going great i havent even been tempted YET.. BUT my sister is bringing me to the cinema tonight and we all know what food is at the cinema.. im at my wits end because not only am i doing no carb but im doing no sugar :sad: :sad: :sad:

I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU ALL DO THIS WEEK AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEE FROM YOUR DIARIES AND STATUS UPDATES YOUR ALL WORKING YOUR *kitten*'S OFF!!:drinker: :drinker:0 -
Another carb free day done...this one being the most boring!:laugh:
I think we should all try and come up with a few different ideas (carb free) and post them, I am going to make a point of coming up with something creative for next week (been saying this the last 2 weeks) but I am really going to try this week and not leave it until Wednesday evening to try and do so
