The Candy Stompers (OPEN GROUP)

if you are still wanting group members, i'd love to join. i just signed up for a 10 week weight loss challenge but it would be nice to also be in a group like this with the food/exercise challenges and discussion/support (as opposed to a contest) to go concurrently.
i'll take new msmts in the AM - haven't done so in 2 weeks but I've also not been able to exercise as much (getting over the tail end of illness so i'm rebooting my eating and exercise as of tomorrow) but i'll include the ones from the beginning of the month.

9/1 msmts (will update in AM but I don't think they've changed a whole lot!):
Waist: 44.75
Hips: 51
Chest: 43
Neck: 16.75
Arm R & L: 13.5 / 13.5
Thigh R & L: 26.5 / 26.50 -
9-12-11
weigh in is 214 still no change but i guess that s what i get for not working out over the weekend and drinking....
so i have to kick it up a notch this week....0 -
I ran out of fruit i am going to try to get to the grocery store tomorrow i got a lot of shopping to do..0

Weigh in on 9-12: 221.8
Ugh...I blame the sodium haha. 0 -
To those tracking measurements in addition to weight:
are you doing them weekly? I was thinking of doing mine every two weeks or so with a weekly weigh in.
anyways, my updated msmts are
Waist: 44
Hips: 50
Chest: 42.75
Neck: 16.5
Arm R & L: 13.25 / 13.25
Thigh R & L: 26 / 26
I'm going to try and get back in the swing of doing the 30DS every day... saw great results in inches lost even though the scale # didn't move a whole lot so I want to try and keep with it (even though Jillian drives me a bit nutty lol).0 -

Since i'm currently doing the 30DS i'm going to take my measurements after the end of each level. And maybe once in a while in between if I feel the urge! :laugh:0 -
Hey Fellow Candy Stompers!!!
I have updated the spreadsheet! For those that don't have the link here it is again!

It's time for the beloved Question Of The Day:
Does your significant other and/or family support your weight-loss journey? If they do, do they exercise with you or eat healthy foods too? Or do they just seem indifferent to the whole situation?0 -
QOTD- My fiance supports me a lot he helps me watch what i eat, he will make me veggies instead of potatoes or whatever else he eats with his dinner we also only eat chicken or pork, every once in a while we might have a steak but that's like once every 2 or 4 months maybe even longer. he drinks a lot of juice so i keep stocked up on water even though i don't drink much of anything i don't get thirsty much its weird.. We keep a lot of fruit around too, my daughter loves fruit and veggies so that's awesome. he also gives me my space and time to do my zumba dvds and we try to go for family walks every evening...:happy:
Also my mom just joined me on mfp Yay!!!! 0 -
I got to the store today but there selection of fruit sucked:ohwell: they have had this melon called lemon drop melon and omg it is so so good if anyone comes across it you gotta give it a try, they seem to run out of it really quick. I personally do not like any other melon then this lemon drop i cant stand cantaloupe or honeydew, watermelon is ok but i don't really care for it.... But seriously if you see lemon drop melon GET IT!!!!!! :happy:0

Yes and no. Mostly I think they are indifferent. My brother has been supportive but he lives 4 hours away. My sister who lives with me is slightly supportive but doesn't understand the change in my eating habits. She'll often make dinner as she is home before I am and it's often highly processed fatty meals. It's hard to say no when the bad choices are sitting right in front of your face. I don't think they believe I'll stick with it but there is no way I'm going back to the way I was!

Fun Fact About Yourself: I am obsessed with
workout clothes, and that's one of my motivations
for loosing weight: to be able to buy and wear
cute workout clothes. For now basketball shorts
and T-shirts will do!
I was looking to join a group! Because no one I know is on this rough journey0 -
Hi all
I do all the cooking at home (as I get home every night 2 hours before by boyfriend). So I can easily control what we eat. I dont cut anything out of my diet - just try not to eat too much.
Ive added extra fruit this week - 2 satsuma and a banana a day. (plus normal veg with meals).
I cant work out how to open the spreadsheet - maybe my anti virus stopping it? I will try again later.x0 -
that sounds like a good idea! i know when i first started the 30DS I took my msmts b/c other people were saying they already noticed a diff within a few days. I did mine after 1 week and there was definitely a shift - its uplifting when that happens!Since i'm currently doing the 30DS i'm going to take my measurements after the end of each level. And maybe once in a while in between if I feel the urge! :laugh:
hoping i can make it through this time as i'm still trying to shake whatever virus snuck its way into my system :grumble:0 -
I definitely have the support of my S/O and my mom (the people I see the most). My S/O was on a great get-healthy kick for a while, doing P90X every day and eating better and was always encouraging me to join him except I wasn't quite ready yet... Now he's the one struggling while I'm gun-ho on changing my life, so our roles have kinda reversed from earlier this year. Even though he's not in the routine he used to be he is still my biggest cheerleaderIt's time for the beloved Question Of The Day:
Does your significant other and/or family support your weight-loss journey? If they do, do they exercise with you or eat healthy foods too? Or do they just seem indifferent to the whole situation? My mom has begun to change her eating habits to healthier choices - I even got her to give up her coffee in favor of tea (huge accomplishment, lol) and she always shares when she notices my weight loss or clothes fitting differently. A big thing for her to point out is how much better my moods and outlook have been since giving up all refined sugar. I was a major sugar addict so having the support of my S/O and mother have made a HUGE difference, especially in keeping those things out of the house. 0 -
First off Welcome to Fi, Karina & Francis! I'm adding your info to the spreadsheet now If you haven't already added me as a friend please do!
I'm trying to figure out a way to do a spreadsheet of those who posted their measurement's progress......0 -
i certainly hope they come around and become believers but if not i'm glad you have MFP and the people here to rally/support you :happy:Yes and no. Mostly I think they are indifferent. My brother has been supportive but he lives 4 hours away. My sister who lives with me is slightly supportive but doesn't understand the change in my eating habits. She'll often make dinner as she is home before I am and it's often highly processed fatty meals. It's hard to say no when the bad choices are sitting right in front of your face.

Yay I lost another 2 pounds and i am on my period too lol so i am retaining a lot of water.... I am down to 172 now i am so close to my goal for October.... Super Excited :happy:0

I don't use facebook but I'm all for people incorporating it if it will help
long week, glad the weekend arrived to offer a respite! i'm struggling with eating enough when i exercise later in the day. i tend to underestimate how much i will burn so i end up with an overall deficit that's higher than i'd like. trying to rectify this but its a slow going process. my goal this week is to exercise earlier in the day at least 3x's and see if that doesn't make it easier.
Being sick sucks! Just got over something myself... hooray for feeling betterHello Candy Stompers Team!

Thank you very much and yes surprisingly it did turn around i thought for sure i wouldn't lose anything this week, i decided yesterday that instead of zumba i would do some wii fit plus for fun and born calories it was about all i could do cause these cramps are killer nothing seems to help... so i am so happy i lost the weight but so sad cause my stomach hurts0 -
