Shazam!

no one can make this happen except you...you deserve to be healthy and enjoy life...you know that exercise will make you feel more energetic and improve your motivation and help you work better....set yourself a treat "if i walk every morning m-f i will treat myself with a ...manicure......candlelit bath......pair of shoes".....NOT A FOOD TREAT! reward and treat yourself and write down your reward list....when i lose 2lbs i will....when i am under calorie goal 7 days..... you can do this!0 -

Starting weight for challenge - 103.5kg
Today's Date - Nov 3rd
Today's weight - 101.6kg
Goal weight for challenge - 99.5kg (was originally 101kg)
Your personal goal - exercise 5x a week
complete food log EVERY day
add 5 friends
After weeks of of putting in loads (ok, some) effort to improve my lifestyle and watching my weight continue to creep up, I've finally reached a turning point. Today was my second weigh-in which showed a loss and it was more than I expected - the fact that I had to lose the shoes (or gain 2") and hadn't had time to eat beforehand like I usually do probably helped, but I doubt that would account for 2kg.
I'm managing my exercise so far and I've been logging all my food. I'm not really trying to control what I'm eating at the minute, but having to own up to what I'm eating is making me think about it a bit more. It should give me a few ideas for some new targets as well, once these become second nature. Feeling hopeful and motivated at the minute.
Good luck, everyone!0 -
Not my best day. Ate lunch at Shane's Rib Shack AND skipped on th gym. Dinner was good, salmon and spinach. Dessert not so much, carrot cake and wine. Tomorrow is a new day, and I gotta keep my head in the game. It's too early to give up.0

All weigh ins up to here have been posted on the spreadsheet.
Would you guys rather update the spreadsheet yourselves or do you prefer it this way, where I do it for you all? Totally up to you guys!0 -
I don't mind posting it myself; less work for you! I weighed in today but because of TOM (I think) it shows I've maintained after an excellent week of staying under my calories. I'm going to give it one more day for effects of TOM to disappear and weigh in again tomorrow before I post the same weight. If nothing else, I'm sure I'll have a good loss by next Friday!

okay, I have set it so that you guys can edit this yourself, so you can do it if you want, but if you don't want to that is fine. I'll be updating it too for those of you who don't want to do it yourselves. :-)

To do it yourself, just go find your name and find the right "week" to put it under (by date) and put your weight in there. You do not have to weigh in on a certain day. YOU choose when you weigh in as long as you weigh in weekly.0 -

Your personal goal - Walk 100 miles this month, 3,000 jumping jacks, and introduce pilates 3x/wk.
How you are doing on your personal goal - I'm doing okay. I had to change my walking goals from minutes to miles, that way I can focus more on distance (3.3 miles + a day) and be able to decrease my time. I was bitten by my dog yesterday :brokenheart: so I have to make up for that fiasco. Funny thing is, today is his birthday....I refuse to celebrate lol.0 -
My weigh in is in the morning, and I'm pretty nervous. It's been a tough week0

Yesterday turned out to be a struggle with food choices, and I didn't make all of the best choices, however I did get up and exercise last night to burn off some of the choices I made. I guess I am okay with that.0 -

Your personal goal - to be under my calories at least 6 out of 7 days
How you are doing on your personal goal - this past week was terrific; I was UNDER all week. the weight not budging is a mystery. Hopefully I have not hit my first plateau! I think that the extra workouts I did this week actually are to account for the scale not budging; it's happened in the past to me too.0 -

I knew last week's drastic loss was too good to be true It had to have been water weight.
On the brighter side, it has been 4 weeks since I started and I have lost 4 lb since then, so I am progressing at my target rate of 1 lb/week. And I've come a long way on the treadmill since I started, so I should be be proud!0
