This Week's Challenge: Weight Training! (A really good book to read to understand the basics AND importance of weight training is: The New Rules of Lifting (there is a book for men and women). Let's work on getting EACH part of your body worked on with weights 2 - 3 times this weeks. Now, this doesn't mean that you weight train twice a week and you're good to go... It means your legs need to be done twice a week (or three times), your arms, your back, etc etc. If you are doing complete full body weight training each session then 2 - 3 sessions will be enough to succeed at this challenge! But if you only work legs in one session and arms in another, this may be a tricky one! Muscle growth and strength is an important part of a healthy living and it also gets you that rockin' bod that you want! Don't worry ladies, you won't "bulk up" from this. It is incredibly difficult for the female body to "get jacked" like a males would. You get bonus points this round if you: A) Read the book mentioned above,
use hard core weights and not barbie weights (1 - 5 lbs, so named because of their usual bright colors) and C) if you make this part of your usual routine from now until forever!
Don't forget to add your PERSONAL CHALLENGES to your posts! We can only help to support you with them if we know what they are!

Somone met their mini goal!! Yes groupies, I am now officially a healthy BMI! I think the last time I was a healthy BMI was grade... 10? I stopped weighing myself when I started to see the number getting higher and higher, it was too hard to see (but not hard enough to make me change anything). I remember stepping on the scale in grade 11 or 12 and seeing 175 lbs. I am lighter than I was through most of high school!! I am a HEALTHY BMI!!! I know that I still have ~19 lbs until my end goal (which seems like a ton, but really isn't on a 5'9" frame) but the bottom line is, I am already at a fabulous point, the rest of this weight loss, muscle gain and fitness increase is really just a bonus! I'm not going to lie, posting a huge loss this week was elating, but I am not going to expect it to continue. If anything, the weekly weight loss will start to slow down even further as I am coming closer and closer to a weight that is comfortable for my body. But I'm okay with that! I'm a healthy BMI! :P
Weekly Success: Getting back into Rushfit (redoing the final 4 weeks again), staying within my calorie goal, getting into Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now (which is pretty freaking empowering. That man has some amazing insights).
Weekly Struggle: Macros. I really need to get back into paying attention and managing macros. I have been a carbohydrate *kitten* lately... and my protein is really not up to snuff.
This Week’s Personal Challenge: Continue with Rushfit, watch my macros and spend some quality time with myself. Life has been too busy (brother was back in the ER AGAIN 2 nights ago...)0 -

Whoops when did you all start this?
Well my current weight is 184.6 and I just joined this group. My challenge goal is 169. My start weight was 229 back in february.
Challenges: My birthday was the 8th and i've had a few birthday celebrations lately! and next week the thanksgiving meals begin. 0_o sooooo i need to watch my calories.
I started Ripped in 30 on monday and i'm planning to do that 3-4 times per week until the end of the year. So i guess that counts toward the weekly challenge
I use 3 lb weights for some of the moves and 8 lb weights for others.

Hi,
I found the new thread/group.
Checking in at 207.6 lbs today (down 1.4 lbs since last week).
There remains hope that I'll enter Onderland for Christmas and my 185 lbs Valentines Day goal, but it is a tight schedule at this point. I joined a rather serious (competitive group challenge) this month (MotivationMatters), so that is helping.
As much as I hate it, drinking more water does seem to help with the loss as well as with staying within calories.
I did well on the water and sleep challenges. I'm game for the weight training challenge!!! Thanks for pushing us!
Hope you all are doing well.0 -

Oops :laugh: 0 -
