First goal: I want to eat ____ calories a day (+/- 100 a day)
This one is hard because its more complicated than that to me... I don't like NET so much so... I think without exercise I want to eat between 1200-1500 anywhere in there is fine...
I want to do my 30DS every day for the next 8 days... Will end on 10/10...1200- 1500 calories IN is fine for this but NOT if I exercise much more, and I plan to but not pegging it down better than that... 30DS is my goal, everything else is bonus...
When I do Leslie's 4 fast miles (540 cal burn) I don't worry to eat them all back and I am fine with eating anywhere from 1200-2000... if that makes sense...
Next goal is how much water: I want to drink ____ oz of water aday.
This one is easy. 1/2 body weight in ounces= 95oz a day...
Get 7+ hours of sleep a day is a predetermined goal of the group and I can almost ALWAYS check this one off...
Next one is exercise schedule:
I am supposed to make goals for the whole month but havent decided just yet what I want to do after the 30DS so... I want to at minimum do my 30DS everyday through the 10th... anything else is bonus... After that I WILL have exercise but havent decided yet.
Next goals are week 1, 2, 3, 4, October, 1 year, 5 year and long term goal...
Week 1 (1/2- 1/8... Well, I want to do what I said above, everyday... and do a good bit of extra burn at least 3500 calories each week... 30DS is (230*7) 1610 calories so I need to burn at least 1890 calories in other ways... average of 270 calories extra a day. Also need to figure out what my next exercise schedule will be so that I do not miss a beat.
Week 2... Same thing as week 1 except,presumably, not figuring out new exercises.
Week 3... same thing
Week 4... Same.
October: I want to lose at least 5 pounds... I know that doesnt sound like much but I have been on a plateau FROM THE START and havent lost anything really since I started on 8/22.
1 Year: I hope to be to my goal of 150 and have maintained it for a while (however long it has been since I got there
5 year: To NOT go back to my old ways and keep up the results I worked so hard to get. I honestly think MAINTENANCE is the hardest part...
Long term: Same thing as 5 year...
Wish me luck!0 -
Sorry everyone. I've been MIA and out of town for a wedding. Ill have to catch up on everything tomorrow after physical therapy. But what I do know is my start weigh is 176. Not to shabby starting at 181 in Sept. And nursing injuries and not working out.0

Hi all,
OK, lots to do in prep for starting this challenge and a crazy weekend so I'm going to have to do this in separate posts. Also, I will be gone from Oct 22-29 (Vacation in Maui - delayed trip form our 10 yr anniversary last year that got derailed by my surgery and my grandmother's passing) Soooo, I will do the best I can but it's gonna be a wild October.
10/1 starting weight: 158.0
10/1 Starting measurements:
right thigh: 22 1/4
hips:41 13/16
waist: 32 5/8
bust/chest: 39 3/4
right arm: 13
calf: 15 1/20 -
GOALS:
Week 1 - Stay within my calorie goals. Drink at least 96 ounces of water daily, Walk for an hr or swim during lunch during the week, accomplish a long walk one day this weekend and rest one day, do the october goal challenges, do the humpday challenge and successfully complete week three of the Biggest Loser Jump start Video.
Week 2 - Stay within my calorie goals. Drink at least 96 ounces of water daily, Walk for an hr or swim during lunch during the week, accomplish a long walk one day this weekend and rest one day, do the october goal challenges, do the humpday challenge and successfully complete week 4 of the Biggest Loser Jump start Video in the evening.
Week 3 - Stay within my calorie goals. Drink at least 96 ounces of water daily, Walk for an hr or swim during lunch during the week, accomplish a long walk one day this weekend and rest one day, do the october goal challenges, do the humpday challenge and alternate Bob Harper's weight loss yoga and cardio DVDs and a three mile walk in the evening.
Week 4 - Use the wealth of knowledge I have gained over the last year to incorporate exercise, eat relatively healthy, and enjoy my vacation and not totally blow it!
For October in general I would like to be at my personal goal weight of 153.
1 Year - I hope to be comfortably in my goal weight range of 150 - 155 and maintaining. I also hope to have toned myself a bit and lost some of my unsightly "battle scars" from years of weight abuse and subsequent weight loss.
5 years and beyond - I hope to still be embracing my new active and healthy lifestyle and comfortably in maintenance mode. I would like to continue to push myself outside of my comfort zone and never again be complacent. I don't want to ever go back to where I was.0 -
So, this part of the challenge is taking me WAAAY out of my comfort zone, posting photos that reveal every little flaw. I mean, yes, I look a whole lot better than I did 97 pounds ago, but there's no hiding these flaws. I guess it's part of the journey and a reminder of where I never what to go again. Hoing to see some changes by Oct 31, but I also recognize that I have abused my body from a weight perspective for most of my life, and its going to take a lot more than a year to undo years of damage. Soooo, here goes:

October: Get out of the 170s - 10/31 goal is 167 and I just want to no longer see 17X even on a "bad" day...
October 2012 : turn 40 and be so happy in my "new" body as I continue to maintain between 140-150. Working out 4-5 times a week. Perhaps recently recovered from a tummy tuck if I choose to do it once I reach my goal. Getting a "gold" star on my newly shaped and trim hip bone to celebrate my amazing transformation of losing 120ish lbs from my highest weight.
5 year: Living a healthy and happy life with my husband and my 2 kids, they will be 12 and 9 - probably asking for as much help as I can get with an adolescent girl living in my house.
Long term: Same thing as 5 year plus sending my kids off to college and enjoying us time with my hubby.0 -
Hey, fellow challengers! I'll have to post my starting measurements tonight, that info is at home.
My goal during each week this month (Monday - Friday): eat planned meals and stay within weekly calorie allowance (I try not to think on a day-to-day basis, but on a weekly basis). Drink 80 ounces water daily. Here is my planned exercise schedule this week:
M: Zumba, calisthenics workout
T: Zumba, calisthenics workout
W: walk 30 min at lunch, walk 35 minutes after work
Th: Zumba, calisthenics workout
F: walk 30 min at lunch, 35 minutes after work
And for the weekends, my goal is to log my food (I'm BAD about this on the weekends) and get in some exercise. In order to meet these goals, I am going to plan my meals for the week every Sunday, and always have a full bottle of water at my desk. I don't typically have a problem meeting my exercise goals.
As for long-term goals, I really don't know. I guess I'd like to be at my goal weight by my first wedding anniversary (March 2012). At some point in my life, I'd like to run a marathon and have children, but that doesn't have to be any time soon. 0 -
for today's wall squat and push up challenge, you are establishing the baseline so do as many as you can with good form.
for the wall squats, your legs should make a 90 degree angle and you arms should hang loosely by your side or Frankenstein side (in front of you) if you want a challenge.
for the push ups do NOT do push ups on your knees ("girl" push ups...they do nothing for your core) instead pick your level:
easiest- feet on ground, hands on a wall with your body at a slight angle
easy- feet on ground, hands on a bench/stair/table with body at more of an angle
standard- feet on ground, hands on ground
hard- feet on bench/stair/table, hands on ground
hardest- feet on swiss (bouncy) ball, hands on ground
Keep a straight line from your shoulder blades to your feet and do as many as possible and record which level you did.0 -
my starting stats, calorie, water and exercise goals, and photos if I can figure out how to get them up here...
Starting weight: 185.4 lbs
Waist: 32.5
Hips (at pubic bone/widest point): 45
Right biceps: 12.75
Right thigh (widest): 26.5
Right calf: 15.5
Neck: 14
Body fat: 33.35% using an on-line measurements estimator as this is closest to the last known accurate measurement.
“Using your measurements … your body fat percentage is estimated to be … 33.35 % using the U.S. Marine body fat algorithm...”
The Plan
I plan to eat 1600 +/- 100 calories a day (C), drink 128 oz. of water (W) , get 7+ hours of sleep (S), and to exercise (E) the following schedule (with ample rest days – ACTIVITY ON DAYS OF WEEK MAY BE SWITCHED, moderate daily activity is assumed):
Monday: Circuit training with weights/resistance, 20 – 45 minutes (optional 15-20 minutes stationary cycle including intervals if shorter day)
Tuesday: 30 – 45 minutes cardiovascular workout – dance, aerobics, step aerobics or kickboxing
Wednesday: Circuit training with weights/resistance, 20 – 45 minutes, (optional 15-20 minutes stationary cycle including intervals)
Thursday: 60 minutes cardiovascular with some strength: advanced kickboxing
Friday: 20 – 30 minutes circuit training
Saturday: 30 – 45 minutes cardiovascular workout – dance, aerobics, step aerobics or kickboxing.
Sunday: rest day/general activity
the week, month, year and 5-year goals I wrote down are not fitness-related!
I would LOVE to lose 15 - 20 pounds by the end of December but my weight loss has not been fast, so I am just going to hope for 10, and for 5 this month. I would like to definitively drop at least one, if not two dress/pants sizes.
I work for myself and need to get back on top of my freelance stuff this week. I need to conquer a few major household tasks this week as well. This month, I need to get a manuscript I"m working on to a point that I can submit it to the agent who is waiting for it. By the end of 2012, there are a lot of other goals I hope I've achieved, and so on.
Let's see if either of these works:

Bought a new scale today. The one I had cost $10, and was CRAPPY. My weight varied by 4 lbs depending on how I stood. Spent a little more on today's, and it's digital so I'm not bending over trying to guess what the little dial hand is on, lol. I will be weighing in tomorrow morning, then, as I'd already eaten lunch/downed a few (5?) cups of coffee before I got it home.
In other news -- I love pushup challenges. I hope I'm not alone in this. I love them because I can't believe how far I've come. Just under 16 months ago, I took an initial test. I could only manage 9 modified (as in, hands and knees) pushups. 9. Modified. Pushups. As a barely overweight 21-year-old who had always prided herself on being athletic, that was sad. I was very disappointed in myself.
Today, I managed 27 standard pushups in a single set. I think I could have done more, but this head cold makes breathing a little difficult.
I can't believe where I am today compared to where I was. I can't wait to see where I am next October!
Good luck to everyone with the October challenge!0 -
I've been swamped since being out of the office last week so i'm running a day behind...
I'll post my measurements and inches on Halloween so that a difference can be seen.
My eating/exercising goals are on my Monday blogs since they change each week depending on races and what not. Plus a whole month of a plan is too inflexible for me...so thats that.
Here are my goals:
Week 1: eat +120 g of protein each day. I'll do this by planning out my food early in the day so necessary changes can be made
Week 2: do NROLFW 3 times (rather than 2). I'll do this by planning ahead and making lifting the priority over running since there are no races scheduled this week
Week 3: Do yoga 2 x. Go on Tuesday night and Sunday morning. No EXCUSES! Do P90X yoga if you miss one
Week 4: Try out some form of martial arts work out with new trainer. Schedule it!
Week 5: Focus on Speed work this week!
October Goal: Hit 24% body fat. I'll do this by consistent logging and lifting.
October 2012 Goal: MAINTAIN a body fat in the 16-20% range at whatever weight that may be.
October 2016 Goal: Be a Mommy (and have a stellar engineering career) who still Runs!
Long- Shot Goal: Travel to: Alaska, New England during the leaf color change, Europe again, Australia, and Asia. Run races in: Disney, Vegas, and Athens.0 -
Sorry, my month got off to a rocky start, so I'm kind of catching up a bit here.
Starting Weight: 137.2
Body fat: 28.7% according to my doc's scale. Not really accurate, I know, but it's all I had access to.
Starting Inches:
Calf 15
R. Thigh 22
Hip 34
Waist 29
Bust/Chest 37
Bicep12.5
I plan to eat 1400 (plus most of my exercise calories) +/- 100 calories a day (C), drink 80-110 oz. of water (W) , get 7+ hours of sleep (S), and to exercise (E) the following schedule (with ample rest days):
Monday: Run 7* miles
Tuesday: CrossFit
Wednesday: Run 5 miles (and, if my schedule allows, CrossFit, Yoga, or Pilates)
Thursday: Pilates (or 3 mile run) and Yoga
Friday: Yoga (and, if my schedule allows, CrossFit)
Saturday: Run 6* miles and CrossFit
Sunday: Rest
*Monday and Saturday mileage will change weekly, but the rest of this plan stays the same for the entire month
Push Up & Wall Squat Challenge:
Pushups Set 1: 33, Set 2: 35
Wall Squat: 82 seconds, 110 seconds
Will take pics and post goals tomorrow.0 -

Morning everyone ... managed the push up and wall squat challenge last night. For the pushups I did 18 in the first set and 16 in the second set. I'm not a huge fan of pushups but am thrilled that I can do them the right way. That said .. I'd rather not do them!! As for the wall squats I managed 53 seconds on the first one and 63 seconds on the second one.
As for my weekly goals .. they are pretty much the same for each week. I want to keep up with the zig zagging and realize that less exercise doesn't mean that I've failed. I need to reprogram my brain to know that I don't have to burn 1000 calories a day. I want to learn to enjoy rest days too.
My goal for October, 2012 is to have reached my goal weight and hopefully have been at maintenance for awhile.
My goal for October, 2016 ... wow .. that's hard to think that far ahead .. I'll have a 18 year old, 12 year old and a 9 year old by then. Mainly, I'm hoping to survive my oldest's teen years!! I'd like to still be maintaining a health life and have been able to find a good balance in home, work and social aspects of my life. Right now for me things at home in a 15 year marriage are really rocky so I hope that we've either sorted that out or we are both onto different aspects of our life.0 -
I missed this on Monday, so I'll post it now. My goal for the week is to complete 200 push-ups. I will be doing a total of 25-30 push-ups/day in 1 to 2 sets.
My 10 Things List:
1- I have a great memory for words. For instance, I can recite the entire St. Crispin's Day speech from having seen the play performed once in 5th grade.
2- I can tell you the breed of any dog you show me, mix or purebred. (My dad was a dog trainer when I was a kid, and I used to look through his dog encyclopedia.)
3- I played rugby for a year in college. I was a prop/lifter.
4- I have a tattoo on my stomach. I got part of it at 18, part of it at 19. I love it, and can't wait until I have an awesome looking stomach to go with it!
5- I play 6 instruments with varying degrees of aptitude. In order from my best instrument to my worst: clarinet, hulusi, bass guitar, sousaphone, cello, and piano.
6- I wrote a novel for NaNoWriMo last year and am going to try to get it published. (Yeah, good luck to me on that one!)
7- I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. They're all awesome, and I love them a lot
8- I am an OSU fan. In the way that only someone born and raised in Columbus, Ohio can be. Our house is scarlet and gray. Our basement is decorated in an OSU-theme, as is my little sister's bedroom. At the family Christmas party, my family hired Brutus to come out for everyone to take pictures with instead of a Santa Claus. It's pretty serious, I tell you!
9- I might actually own a replica-quality Renaissance gown for attending fairs. If enough people are interested, I may be persuaded to post a photo on my profile of my older sister and myself in full regalia at a fair.
10- I love poetry. No, seriously. Love it. Can't get enough of it, read it until it makes me cry love it. Furthermore, I loveloveLOVE Victorian poetry. My favorite poem is actually a three-way tie: "In Memoriam A.H.H." by Tennyson, "The Garden of Proserpine" by Swinburne, and "The Windhover" by Hopkins.0 -

update on daily challenges...

10/2 posted my goals already to the thread...CY WN EN SN
10/3 i need to do this baseline....i'll add it into today's work exercises...CY WY EY SY
10/4 posted above...0 -
I'll work on getting my before pictures on here, I'm not very good at the whole posting pictures thing..but they have been taken. My goals for right now consist of being consistant with my logging not just everything, but logging every day. Meeting my water goal of at least 160oz of water (20-8 oz glasses), and excercising or stretching 6 days a week for at least 35 minutes.My daily caloric intake is set at 1200 calories. I eat all of them, and eat most of my excercise calories back as well. If I go over, it will be no more than 50 calories.
Those who know me know I have plantar fasciitis and have had it for about 3 months now. It seems to inhibit what I feel I am capable of doing, but I do my best to work around it and do what I can. I have a 10K and a 10 miler coming up this month as well as my very first half marathon on Nov 13th. My thought process due to my plantar fasciitis has just been to make it through, it doesn't matter time wise. This is so hard for me because I am a very competitive person.
Ok, how about 10 Unique facts about me:
1) My second toe is longer than my first toe, and I have long toes....I feel if I were to ever fall backwards off a cliff, my long toes would grab onto a tuft of grass and I would be able to pull myself up and save myself
2) I am the oldest of 3 siblings. I am 34, my brother is 28, and my sister is 21.
3) I was born with a cleft lip and palate and have had many, many surgeries to correct it. The last one being when I was 16 and they took bone marrow out of my hip to put into my gums so they would harden correctly. But...having a cleft lip and palate does not define who I am. I speak clearly, I can hear great, I am happy to be me.
4) I LOVE to read, and cannot fathom owning a Kindle or Nook. I like to hold my books and you should see them all on the built in bookcase in our home.
5) I have 2 kids Austin is 15 1/2, and Lindsay is 5 1/2. Having children 10 years apart was a fantastic idea. It has worked out great. And yes...we want one more...in another year or two.
6) like to think I am always right, and will argue my point until I am proven wrong...one of my many faults
7) I would like to go back to school one day when I figure out what I want to be...but am terrified of having to write a report or paper. I can spell great, but writing papers I suck at.
8) I organize my fridge every time I go shopping....I know, I can't help it.
9) I'm a big numbers girl. I remember phone numbers from when I was little, i'm precise about time telling (most people will day it's quarter past 1, I on the other hand will say it's 1:13) Also my alarm to get up in the morning is set for 5:43 or 5:47. NEVER 5:45.
10) I am an ice cube chewer..which my father in law hates, and my husband wishes I wouldn't do...yet they love me anyways. I've done this for as long as I can remember.
And so that closes out the 10 Unique things about me. Carry on...0 -
