Awesome job ladies! Sexy in Six Round One was so fun!
**********************************************************************************************************************************

Sexy In Six Round Two.....GO! And we're off! Sorry I didn't get this up last night, I'll try to be better about that the next few weeks.

So, we know our teams, we're all sending our teammates friend requests (I hope!) and we're ready to kick some booty!

Look at the total pounds lost in 6 weeks above. Some of our round 1 ladies really kicked butt and raised the bar high. Let's kill those numbers! Returning chicks, try to beat your numbers from the last round! We can do this!!!

I'll start the week off with a warm-up challenge. This week, we are staying under our calorie goals and logging 30 minutes of exercise every day. That's a two part challenge! Let's kick this thing off by eating right AND getting our booties moving!

Our questions this week go to some returning members to get the ball rolling:
Monday: peanut613
Tuesday: kimi131
Wednesday: honey1990
Thursday: magic_girl
Friday: Bella1hud

Also, a quick note to everyone who was in Round One, I have taken last week's weigh in and made that your start weight so you are as up to date as possible!

As always, any questions just email me! Let's start this challenge off the RIGHT way ladies! We're gonna kick some butt! *woooo-hoooo!*

Monday's QOTD: Since this is day one and we are 1/2 old members and 1/2 new, let's take this as our chance to introduce ourselves!


Hi guys, I'm Logan and I'm 23 from Maryland. I'm married and have an adorable 2 y/o daughter. I love movies, junk tv, music, books... I'm always reading something on my Kindle. I love to drink coffee. I sleep in every morning (because my toddler thinks she's a teen and sleeps til 9 or 10 every day...no complaints here!) and often miss breakfast. I drive a civic named Rhonda the Honda. I love to clip coupons and buy things for cheap. My husband is a chef at a crazily upscale inn and he's usually bringing home food. He spent the last few months in their pastry department (they move him around between departments in the kitchen because he's just that good ) but I'm glad they moved him again because he was killing me with all the fresh rolls and pastries he brought home! :laugh: They were *too* good! I am a stay at home mother to this crazy girl. I have taken college classes here and there but can't wait to put all my focus back on school. I'd love a Masters in Psychology!

As far as my fitness story goes, I maintained a 4/6 through high school and shortly after. I got pregnant and lost 15 pounds during the first half of my pregnancy from eating much healthier. I only gained a small bit overall. Then after my daughter was born, my diet went totally out of control. I was never very active so I just got fatter and fatter. Eventually this June, I hit my highest weight after coming home from vacation. I was 175 pounds. Something clicked to me and I started losing weight with MFP. I'd used the app before but always gave up fairly quickly. This time I tried the site too. It made all the difference! So I've been here ever since, joining 2 rounds of the Diamond challenge, then starting my own challenge, and joining the christmas challenge on the side. Challenges are great because I feel so guilty when I slack off! :embarassed: So I've managed to stay around to lose 27 pounds and now I'm excited because my end goal is in sight!

feydruss

WTG everyone! I hit my goal for this challenge today, and I'm sure everyone in Round 2 (which I'm not participating in, as I'm in another challenge now) will kick butt.
Good luck!

Hi everyone both new and not new (not gonna say old haha!)!

My name is Devon and I'm an acute care nurse practitioner. I'm married with no kids but we do have a 2 year old labrador retriever. My husband is in his final year of medical school, so between the two of us our schedules can be pretty crazy (I'm just coming off a five-day stint of being on service, which means about 5 13-hour days in a row).

I'm excited to do the second half of this challenge! It definitely kept me focused last time since I was in philadelphia for two weeks with cheesesteak temptations all around. For any of you who like to peek at diaries you'll see that I've started to eat Primal (essentially I have cut out all grains, sugars, etc and I limit dairy or eat full-fat dairy). It totally goes against conventional wisdom, but for me it's really jumpstarted my weight loss and I love it...plus I feel great. Gonna keep it up!

Go blue team!!

ejb245

Excited to start the challenge today! And totally on board for the weekly goal of 30 minutes of exercise a day and under calories. My husband is gone all week, so that shouldn't be a problem!

Here's my little introduction: I'm Elizabeth and I'm 30 years old from PA. I'm married with no kids. I work a LOT, so while I really love my job, the stress and hours can put a strain on my weight loss goals. I tend to get wrapped up in my work and stressed about day to day operations that I should be able to leave at work but can't. I think the stress of increased responsibilities that came with my promotion have hindered my weight loss goals. I love to read, watch dorky tv (Big Bang Theory, Eureka, etc) and the travel channel, and hang out with friends. My husband is active duty military so we see each other a few weekends a month and some random weekdays every once a while. I'm used to it, so its fine, but when he's home, it's easy to slip up and eat and drink whatever I want because its a treat.

Fitness wise, I've been trying to lose weight since the start of the year and I've been great in losing the first 20 pounds, but the next 20 are really taking their time getting off. I finished the couch to 5k program which was awesome, but summer came and with it came heat that I don't run in and a 3 month plateau was born. I recently joined a gym and have been really good about going between 4 and 5 days a week. I gained a bunch of weight over the past few years (stress eating and drinking mostly) that I'd love to have off so I can feel good about myself again. I'm so much fitter than I was a year ago, but I'd like to start losing weight when I'm working out instead of maintaining. Hoping this 6 week challenge will kick my butt so I'm a skinnier me by the time the holidays roll around!

Jarvis95

Hi everyone!!!

This is my first challenge and i'm pretty excited! so nice to meet you all!

My name's Natalie, and i'm finishing up my thesis for my master's of science. No kids or significant other but lots of amazing friends and family in my life

I've been trying to lose weight since Jan '10, when i realized that over my uni years my weight kept creeping up and up. I'm 5' 4.5'' and the highest i ever saw was probs 154 (totes avoided the scale for awhile). I didn't really believe i was overweight until I went away one weekend, ate a ton, came back, stepped on the scale and it finally hit me! (ahha I call this my camel moment...straw that broke the camel's back). Anyways, I wanted to do something before I really spiraled out of control, and over the next 1.5 years I lost 17lbs! unfort i lost motivation and gained almost 10lbs back! but thanks to MFP, and actually using the community features, i'm back down to 13 lost, yay! my goal is to be in the 120's while im in 20's (i'm 25 so I have 5 years left to enjoy this!!!). I love biking, spinning, running, sometimes strength training, and zumba!!


also, i'm Canadian, and it's Canadian thanksgiving this weekend, gah!! Saturday and Sunday are going to be a bit tricky for being under my calories goal, but i'm going to kick *kitten* Monday-Friday to make up for it

Also are we supposed to weigh in today???

Bella1hud

I too am trying to gear up for Thanksgiving this weekend. Eeek!

Bella1hud

Aww freyduss, we'll miss you!

StacyAS999

Hello, everyone! It's my first challenge too, and I am so excited!

I'm Stacy, I'm 41, and live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I'm married and the mother of a 16 year old daughter who is in her junior year of high school. I work in Public Affairs for a government agency, which can have some long hours and be pretty stressful. I'm also pursuing my PhD in Business and Marketing, so that takes a lot of work, too. I love to read (the Kindle has changed my life), ski and scuba dive, and I fancy myself an aspiring artist, even though I never seem to have any time to do it! We have a chocolate lab named Abby who is the reason for most of my exercise - she is high energy and needs to get out and burn it off, or she can't sleep - and a house rabbit named Oolong.

My fitness journey is long and varied. I was a normal weight all through high school, and the weight started creeping on in college, and sontinued when I got married and had my daughter. I reached about 200 pounds, and then worked hard to get down to about 150 about 12 years ago. I slacked back off, and this spring I reached about 180 (I think, I was too afraid to weigh myself), and after beginning to watch what I ate and starting to see the scale go back down, I started here on MFP in June at 170. So far, I've reached 154. I weigh every day so I can keep track of how things such as sodium, etc., have an effect on my weight.

I'm ready to step things up, Glad to see everyone!

(Sorry, edited because I'm a dork!)

Hi guys

I'm Nikki. I'm a 22 year old college student (graduating this year, can I get a HECK YEAH?). I live in Greensboro, North Carolina. As well as taking a full courseload, I also have a job and an internship, so it's been difficult to also pursue weight loss, but with the addition of this challenge, I know I'm more likely to make working out and eating well a higher priority. The most I ever weighed was 165 about a year ago, and that's when I decided that I didn't like the way I looked or felt, so I started losing weight. I got down to 145 recently, but as you can see, gained some of it back.
I love to lift weights (but I've slacked off, which is why I have no muscle tone now), canoe, read, and write. And, like Stacy, I also fancy myself as sort of an artist; I trade Artist Trading Cards (tiny baseball sized self-created works of art) on a site called atcsforall.com.

I LOVE Big Bang Theory and Eureka. Have you ever seen Raising Hope? It's not science based, but the humor seems similar to me in a way.

jellybean1971

Awesome results ladies from round 1.

My name is Crystal and I'm a stay at home Mom of 2 little boys 7 months and almost 4, I have a 17 year old daughter as well. I've struggled with my weight after being in a major car crash, I went from running every day to laying in a bed for almost 2 years waiting to here emotionally and physically. Then 2 later in life pregnancies, your body doesn't jump back like it use to when you have a baby at 39. I'm finally ready to get back to what I remember.

suemar74

I'm so excited! Okay, my intro:

(Personal) My name is Susan. I am a 37 year old mother of two incredibly awesome teenage boys (and aunt to Torieelizabeth, who is also participating...and also pretty awesome herself). I'm divorced from, but still friendly with, the boys' dad. I work five days a week in a small company (with ALL men) as an Administrative Assistant. It's a desk job, so my first extra 25 pounds crept on easily. I have a "significant other", Doug and a lab/rott mix named Maggie. Most days I'm more partial to the dog I'm originally from New York, but have lived in Indiana for the past 16 years...so some days you may see me swearing like a sailor and have an attitude, and other days I'll be blessin' your heart. I'm also trying to get a soap and body business up and running, in my non-existent spare time.

(Fitness) Three years and 25 pounds into my sedentary desk job, I decided to quit smoking. My lungs and heart cheered me on, but my *kitten* and stomach are still whining about it. I gained another 15 pounds. I even tried to go on the offense and start exercising, but that only does so much when you adopt an I-quit-smoking-so-I'm-going-to-eat-what-I-want attitude. Not to mention, I can justify damn near anything in my head (i.e. a Taco Bell is healthy because it has lettuce and tomatoes). But the 30th of October will be my two year anniversary from quitting so I'm determined to be at my smoking weight, which was 150. Once I conquer the quitting pounds, then I will move onto the sedentary pounds. For now, I'm eating the foods I want, and trying to stay within my calorie goal. When I get closer to goal, or if I stay at this plateau, I will clean up my diet a bit. I love exercise, which is why I can't understand why it's so easy for me to talk myself out of doing it. But I think this will keep me going.

This is my first challenge, so I'm very, very excited. I consider myself a team player and a wee bit competitive, so GO BLUE!! Hehehe.

Hey Everyone!
I'm Kristin, originally from FL, I now live in NC thanks to the hubby! This is my 3rd challenge (2nd on MFP) and I started one between my mommy group (I lost 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks). Today is Day 1 of 3 more challenge groups for me! This one, a 6-week one in the Mommy group and then also a toning challenge there too. I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. Actually, we're going home to FL for Thanksgiving and I'd like to be noticeably smaller than I was last year when we visited...and I'd like to feel good about the pics we'll take at Disney.

I'm married, we have a 2 year old daughter and I can't use the "baby weight" excuse anymore. I lost all of it after having her, but it crept back on earlier this year when I fell and broke my pelvis. I'm looking to lose a total of 30lbs and am already 11lbs down since the end of August.

We live in the mountains with our 2 rescue dogs and I'm looking forward to enjoying the woods a little bit more before it gets too chilly.
Good luck to all!

Hi guys, I'm Logan and I'm 23 from Maryland. I'm married and have an adorable 2 y/o daughter. I love movies, junk tv, music, books...

After spending the last six weeks referring to you as "peanut" . . . . . i had to look three time at your profile pic before it all made sense, LMAO . . .thanks for kicking off the 2nd round

Hi, I am Santiea and I am a 33 y/o mother of two, full-time nursing student, and part time coroner I also work another part-time job to keep from getting bored (insert sarcastic smirk here). My fitness journey is almost two years old now and needs a little poking and prodding now and again. I laugh easily and like to run. I graduate in December and am just trying not to eat my stress until then .

After the birth of my second child, I quite smoking and instead of losing the baby weight, added to it. In January of 2010? I signed up at a local fitness center ran by a husband and wife team. They taught me how to calorie count, eat in a calorie range, exercise effectively for my body type and feel good about myself again. I love them a lot for what they gave me. FF to present day, I am trying to apply what I learned and lose additional pounds on my own, with support from my gals here on MFP. I have found the combination of running and pylo to be most effective for me, but have recently been hindered by . . . . . . 24 hour days when I am really in need of 36. I just keep telling myself to take one day at a time, so here is to the next 42 days . . . . . . . we can do this

Congrats to the Round 1 losers~ and Welcome to the Round 2 people )

I am Laura - Round 1 was my first challenge and it made me realize I have hit a plateau. 4 years ago i started off at 212 and read a book called the beck diet solution - it changed my life, I got down to 174 and then stopped actively dieting, and over the next year lost another 10 lbs from my lifestyle changes, when this challenge started up I decided to finish what I had started and get back on the wagon. I didn't think it would be as tough as it has been ! My losses has been a little disappointing but I know that I'm on the right track. I'm on week 7 of couch to 5k - I have 3 days of running 2.5 miles this week and my first 5k is November 19th!

I'm 30 years old, married with 2 bassett hounds, I am a horse trainer in South Carolina and also work as a vet tech at a large animal practice.

I really am looking to make it to a consistent size 6 or 8, and break out of the 150s for the first time in my adult life.
GO RED )

I LOVE Big Bang Theory and Eureka. Have you ever seen Raising Hope? It's not science based, but the humor seems similar to me in a way.

Of course! I watch it when I remember but usually end up watching it on hulu 8 days after it airs. I'm trying to cut back on the tv, but monday's were my geek night with Eureka and Warehouse 13. Since those are both done for the year, I'm hoping that I can find something more productive to do. But with Monday night football, I'm not sure if that will happen!

Hi guys! My name is Alethia. I'm 21 years old and engaged to my wonderful fiance. We had our first son in January this year, he'll be 9 months old on Oct. 11. I have two little chihuahuas . I'm a stay at home mama. I clean a spa once a week. I was a size 7/9 before I got pregnant and gained 60+ lbs while pregnant. So I need to get my butt in gear and lose the weight! Go Team BLUE woooot woooot!!!!

heaverchell

:happy: Wow what an awesome job you all did in R1!

I am excited to get this started but I am a little sluggish today. I have a 5 month old who is sick and teething so we have only had a couple hours sleep in the last 24 hours.

ANYHOO...My name is Heather. I just turned 34 and I am a SAHM of 2 ~7 year old girl and 5 month old boy~ and have been married for 14 years this Dec to my highschool sweetheart. We have 2 doggies and well it's just a crazy time at home lol. I was trying to lose weight and had already lost 30lbs prior to my surprise pregnancy. I am not on a "diet" per say because I nurse my son so I have to maintain good eating. I am trying to eat more healthy and get to a healthy weight for not only me but my kids.

I have managed to lose all my pregnancy weight and now I am back on track trying to get the rest off. So...here we go and YAY BLACK TEAM

drgirl1023

Hello Everyone!!!! My name is Amalfi. I am 33 years old, married and a mother of a 12 year old girl and 8 month old son (wow – yes starting all over again)! I am a housing specialist – I prevent families on welfare from being evicted in NYC. My husband is a carpenter. I am currently trying to get into a school to get my master in Social Work. I am ones of those types of people that love to help others.

I joined this site a few months ago but I did nothing with the site. Before having my son I was 135 pounds. I went up to 215 pounds with my son. Once I gave birth I have been between 180 to 190 pounds and I am only 5’2 so I look like a little grape. I decided to come back and do something about this weight so for the past month I am exercising 5 times out the week and eating right – Hard Work!!!

I am really excited about this challenge (my first) and really looking forward to dropping the pounds!!! Good luck everyone!!!!
LET’S GO BLACK TEAM!!!!

Magic_Girl

Hey ladies! This is my 2nd Round of Sexy in Six, I'm super excited! Go Black Team! My name is Karla, I'm a 19 y/o college student (2nd year). I live in FL with my parents. I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years now, we met in high school our senior year. Our families are very close with each other and we all spend the holidays with each other. My boyfriend and I go to college together. I'm majoring in elementary education and he is majoring in sports and fitness. My bf goes to the gym very frequently and I finally got my own membership last month. I really love going to the gym! I get really sad if I haven't worked out for few days. lol My goal is to be 120, toned with lean muscles. I'm tired of being squishy! lol I have been overweight most of my life. My highest was in 9th grade, I was 170 and considered obese. I changed the way I ate, drank only water, and did light exercises. I gradually lost 30 pounds in 3 years. During the 2 years w/ my bf I gained 10 pounds (i stopped exercising). I lost the weight this year (with the help of MFP) and now I am about 2 pounds lighter than I was 2 years ago! I'm so happy I didn't let myself gain all the weight back, but I will be even happier when I finally get out of the "overweight range" and into the "healthy range!" I'm so close, just a few more pounds! That is my goal for this challenge!

Oh and I forgot to mention, I have an adorable 8 y/o beagle named Sammy! He's the picture in my weight loss ticker! He's a fatty, he needs to join MFP too! LOL!

arcticbear

hello!
I'm sue - I don't live in the US which can make things tricky sometimes. I loved Round One of Sexy in 6 and have the wonderful "Peanut" to thank for that. I'm thrilled to be participating in Round 2.

I have a very hectic full time job - I've put on a lot of weight though, especially as I spent more hours behind a desk, and I know that I also put on weight when I get stressed or nervous. Both these apply at present.

Still, looking at the results of Round One, I see I did OK!!!! So, here we go - Round Two. And Team Yellow - we are it!

I have three grown up children - all amazing, but still quite demanding (in a nice way) of my time and attention. I have a rather plump looking cat called Lily. I'm not so good on the exercise front.......

I'll be 52 at Christmas.

I would love to be sexy in six too........

RunningAddict

Hello everyone. My name is Jennifer, I'm 28 years old and I love to run. Unfortunately that alone does not keep the weight off. So here I am hoping to make some positive weight changes to improve my running. Good luck to everyone and I hope we can all achieve our goals!
