Weigh in for the week...211.8! Down 1.6 from last week. I will totally take it as I have been unable to get below 213 since June!0
-
SPARTA!!! Lol - thanx, Donna
I would actually be a mix, possibly an Athenian spy on the inside of Spartan: I'm more kind, fun loving, not really a fighter even tho I look the part :laugh:
Anyways: sorry for my delayed update for last weeks challenge: here is the final breakdown.
10-6 Thurs: over by about 100! 1367 calories burned,approx 50 mins strength: 16 cups water
10-7 Fri: under calories by 430(had to fast for a religious holiday). 1130 calories burned: approx 60 mins was strength training: 14 cups water
10-8 Sat: No exercise due to fasting: ate 1 meal to break the fast, pretty sure went over due to deserts! Water maybe 8cups since didn't drink much - no workout/strength training.
10-9 Sun: 951 cals burned, approx 30 mins was strength training - under cals by 202 & somewhere around 30+ cups of water
10-10 Mon: 1098 cals burned w/about 60 mins strength training: over cals by 240 and 30+cups of water
10-11 Tues: WAY over cals (by at least 400!) Only burned 537 cals with about 50 mins going to strength training. Drank over 30 cups water though!
10-12 Wed: Way under on cals (by 988!) due to INTENSE workout with Hubz at the gym: Burned total 1178 cals for the day with about 45 mins to strength training. Water around 25 or so cups
Total mins of strength training: 295/45
Total cups of water: 153/60
Number of days under cals: 3/7
Number of days over cals: 4/7
Calories burned- 6261/2000
On the weigh-in front: no loss. Still holding at 148.0! BUTT... My NSV's are so totally out-ruling the scale! Shoulders are bigger, biceps are bigger & more cut & I've lost an entire inch around my chest! Hubz & I did measurements on Tuesday, my weak side is now my dominant side (gained almost an inch on left bicep & 1/4" on right), while waist is still the same, chest went from 35.5" to 34.5"! Forearms lost an inch each but are more cut, which means I've lost fat & tightened the muscle - WHOO HOO!! AND, my butt is taking some serious shape! I'm getting that little "sweat-heart" cut in the top - I have to attribute that to the Arc Trainer at the gym
To all you "losers" for the week - that is FAB-YOU-LOSS!!! To those who may not have changed, keep in mind that NSV's are stronger & more long term than the scale. Start taking measurements as well & "see" the difference :happy:
Looking forward to another AWESOME Challenge!0 -

I forgot to post my weight! 199.2 which is down .6 pounds. However, I was up 3.2 pounds last week and didn't record it due to TOM, so even though this is small, I really lost almost 4 pounds from last week! I am going to keep this up from this point forward!
Great job everyone. I love this group!0 -
omg- i finally just figured out what TOM means!!! i'm such a dumbass!!!! i never understood what people meant!! LMAO
thanks!!!
It took me awhile to figure it out too..when I saw NSV..I was like...WTF?!?! HAHA...I had to ask someone..felt like an idiot!
I had to google NSV to figure it out! lol (laugh out loud)0 -
I walked around the shops for 2hr yesterday, not sure what I will do tonight as it is a friends birthday meal & so far I have loads of cals left. Were going to the harvester for the meal, I was thinking steak & jacket potato with salad in-fact it is making me hungry just thinking about it.0
-
It is Friday and I feel lost!!! Can someone please tell me what to do??? (joke!!!!)
Well, ladies... Since Tausha is on a well deserved vacation...what should we do? Create goals ourselves? Do individual goals? Consider it a "rest' week? (Nat will have a coronary...she doesn't know how to rest!) Seriously, Nat, you are my HERO! I am lifting today because of you! I am also sore as heck because I increased the poundage that I am lifting, because of YOU!:flowerforyou:
D0 -
Donna, that's so funny, we are lost without Tausha! How about if we each pick the one thing that is most difficult for us right now in our quest for better health and fitness and concentrate on that this week and keep the same exercise/water challenge from last week?
For me, that obviously has to be sodium. It's killing me! I'm also picking up a nasty little cereal snack habit at night. I've got the calories, and I'm eating decent cereal (it's not Fruit loops!) and almond milk but it's making me wake up puffy the next day from all those carbs late at night.
So this week, I'm going to get in 1200 calories, drink 60 cups of water (which I failed at last week), do 45 minutes of strength and try to keep my sodium under 2500 mg 5 out of the 7 days.
Checking in through Thursday:
calories burned: 432/1200
strength:0/45
cups water:12/60
days under calories: 1/7
days over calories: 0/7
days under sodium: 0/7 :ohwell:0 -
I like the calories burned (2000), water intake (60), days under/over (6/1), sodium is cool--under sodium 6 days
But what about adding something like--taking 10 minutes at least 5 days for reflection/relaxation/meditation? Meaning you have to stop whatever you are doing, put on some soft/nature/no music and just try to relax your whole body and mind? (means 10 straight minutes...turn off phone...no facebook...hide from your kids...)0 -
I get so excited when I think a weight is a fluke...but the fluke happens for 3 days straight and you realize that it isn't a fluke (i.e. me getting into the 160's...) :drinker:0
-
I gained 0.4lbs so my current weight is 169.6...oh well..I didn't have the best food choices and I feel like eating everything right now...I am happy I didn't gain anymore!0

Pmsl hide from kids, relaxation sounds good, 10 minutes to myself well that would be something. I think some people it will be a hard thing to do0 -

OK- you guys are KILLING ME- now what does "pmsl" stand for?!?!? I need to write a dictionary to keep up on here!!
tara- i agree that i don't want to blame TOM for the gain, today i'm already back down to norm, so YES next week i better see a nice drop!!

Well, ladies... Since Tausha is on a well deserved vacation...what should we do? Create goals ourselves? Do individual goals? Consider it a "rest' week? (Nat will have a coronary...she doesn't know how to rest!) Seriously, Nat, you are my HERO! I am lifting today because of you! I am also sore as heck because I increased the poundage that I am lifting, because of YOU!:flowerforyou:
D
LOL! But the long-term results will show soon & you'll be totally BUFF!! And yes, if someone told me to rest I'd probably crash & burn!
I like the goals - but I also need to get a grip on my cals & stop eating so much! The week before & of our little mishapped HM I was SUPER careful & the results showed (even with TOM in full flow - pardon the pun :laugh: !).
Therefor, my personal goal is to NOT eat back all my exercise calories: I want to leave at least 300 (except for today since I don't get my PM burn & we're eating at Sonny's tonight with Grandpa - it'll be my little cheat ).
So - Team Orange Butterballs - keep me in check on calories & I'll keep you in check on sodium :flowerforyou:0 -
OK- you guys are KILLING ME- now what does "pmsl" stand for?!?!? I need to write a dictionary to keep up on here!!
Are you from another country???
PMS = PreMenstrual Syndrome (bloating, cramps, appetite issues, etc). This is a common term even before the internet was created!! lol (laugh out loud). I am cracking myself up over here. I wish you could see me!
Edited to Add: I am an idiot. I thought you said pms. Now I see it is pmsl. I have no idea! That's a new one!!
Note: I could have just deleted this to be blank or said something else so I didn't look like a complete idiot, but I thought it might give you a good laugh. lol0 -

OMG, IMHO (IYDM), we should all PMSL and go AKF for some H2O (not H2O2)
Oh my god, in my humble opinion (if you don't mind), we should all PMSL and go away from keyboard for some water (not hydrogen peroxide)...all actual quips, pending PMSL's authentication code...0 -
Waaay to much craziness going on over here....
lol just kidding! Keep it coming! I think I'll just stick with the goals from last week, since I didn't meat the strength training.0 -

whats the goal for this week?
shall we set one for ourselves?
i like the water challenge of 60 cups, what about calorie burns? maybe aim for 2500? what do you all think? what about making a point of logging onto the thread once a day? i know i struggle with logging in everyday so should be able to do this.
orange ladies: shall we start our team challenges again?0 -
as for auntie flo! hehe love it, i used to call it AF. find it very weird to call it TOM now! another tmi question, ladies do u get a lot of bloating when u are ovulating? i find im up or down 2lbs during TOM and ovulation!0
-
CW: 183.6, I gained 1lb :grumble:
Tara & Maria~There was no challenge posted for this week because Tausha is on vacation. So, Im just going to stick with the challenges from last week but increase the amount to challenge myself.
Results from Thursday:
Cals Burned: 318/3500
Cups of H20: 15/85
Mins of ST: 40/150
Days UC: 0/5
Days OC: 1/20 -
I think everyone is setting their own goals, along with continuing some from before. My personal goal is to go to the gym at least 3 days. I mostly exercise at home, but I have a gym membership I haven't been using, and I know when I go I feel so energized afterwards. I need to stop being lazy and just go! I went one time last week.
I completely blew yesterday. I had a really bad day, not just with food and exercise, but also emotionally. So today I'm starting with a clean slate. Here are my goals for the next 6 days:
2500 Calories Burned
60 Cups of Water
Under Calories 5 Days
Exercise 5 Days, 3 of them at the Gym
I have been recording everyone's weight for the chart I post. It is updated to this point. Still need lots of weigh-ins!0 -
:drinker: CONGRATS to everyone with a loss this week, and to those of us who have met the goals!!:drinker:
To all of us with a gain this week/ or who did not reach the goals...guess what...move on!! we are on a new week with new goals, so quit making excuses and push yourself...see what you can accomplish when you put your whole mind/body in it and LET'S DO THIS!!:bigsmile:
Donna-making our own goals is a great idea!!
Kory-Meditation will be on my list! and CONGRATS on the 160's!!!!
Melinda /Jojo/Kory-u guys r FN hilarious!!! w/ all these abbr who the h3ll knos wut we r sayn?! but 4 real...when u find out wut pmsl means lemme kno wudda?! LMAO!!!!!!!!:laugh:
Mariam-yah some of us are just taking last weeks goals and adding a few more of our own or a lil twist to the ones that were there!! as for TOM...I don't notice any normal gain during these weeks...however, I was really really good this week and I still gained...so I am blaming it on this, this week!!

and, for those of you that didn't catch the prior post
Question: What Is 'PMSL'? What Does PMSL Mean?
Answer: So, you're conversing online in a chat room or in an Internet game, and you keep seeing this odd expression "PMSL" People chat in the online game, sending pmsl messages left and right.
Well, this peculiar acronym expression is very much a United Kingdom expression. It stands for "Pissing myself laughing". It is the same as "rofl" or "lmao" in American English. The pmsl expression, like many other Internet expressions, is part of online conversation culture.0 -

O.K., you guys crack me up! Kory, I'll try for that 10 minutes a day thing. Does reading a book count??????0

Hi Ladies!!!!!
I hope you all are doing well. I feel bad that I forgot to weigh in on Thursday! I was busy getting ready to take my ds to visit a couple of colleges in OH. We left last night for Cleveland (a 5 hour drive), spent the morning at one college, the afternoon at another, then drove back to Michigan to visit a third tomorrow morning. Whew! It will be good to sleep in my own bed tomorrow night.
Needless to say, since I'm away from home, and my scale, I don't know what my weight is.
Let's just say it's the same - 168, and hope that all the exercise and walking I've done this week, will get me a good loss for next Thursday!
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
O.K., you guys crack me up! Kory, I'll try for that 10 minutes a day thing. Does reading a book count??????
Im going to try this too. I dont really get any time out to myself apart from zumba and running so will make an effort.0
