    I thought I read somewhere you are setting one for Easter? my both teams I'm on are slacking so I could use some extra motivation for sure... Easter is normally 2 weeks later for us (Orthodox Christian) but whatever the date you set, then I can use 2 extra weeks in case I haven't made it to my goal for the Catholic Easter :laugh:

    HMMMMM....how many calories are you eating in a day?

    my calories were set at 1500... but i went into the dr last week in hopes of getting some ideas on this... and he said lower my calories to 1200 which im not comfortable with so i instead put them at 1350... and i eat my exercise calories n all that... im hoping its cause i got a gym membership a month ago and, i am doing some weight lifting now that i am just building muscle the personal trainer i consulted with said give it 3 months, it will def start coming off then my body just needs to adjust to the muscle being built....
    but i do find it extreamly frustrating because the 59 pounds i have lost so far just basically melted off.. i only worked out 2 times a week doing zumba for an hour each time....so cardio...

    Good morning ya'll! :happy:

    Well, starting weight for this challenge was 245.6lbs ----> this morning I was 240.6. So exactly 5 lbs LOST! Now, I know i'm STILL not out of the 240s yet, but I'm closer than I was when this challenge started. So YIPPIE! Thanks for all the support and motivation.


    I agree with PURR on the challenge name --- Definitely #1 for this Easter challenge (which is only a few short weeks away) and then #2 to get us into the summer. :bigsmile:

    Ya'll are great! Keep up the wonderful work and smiles you bring to my face. Thanks again! :flowerforyou:

    Hey Jackie...it sounds like your body has gotten very comfortable with where it's at...time for a big kick back into working with you on this journey...I'd say keep the cals where you have them, eat all your exercise cals, and really hit the CARDIO...HARD!!! You have made great strides thus far, you CAN do it!!! :flowerforyou:

    im doing about 40 mins of cardio at the gym 4-5 days a week and 30 minutes of weights... maybe i should throw my zumba back in 2 times a week on top of that...

    Hmm...well, it sounds like you are hitting the cardio...maybe switch up your routine, or shorten the time but increase the intensity...just some thoughts...

    change what you are doing for cardio maybe....add time, different machine - bicycle 1/wk, elliptical 1/wk, stairstepper 1/wk

    Also - you could try to do a yoyo with your cals - 1200 one day, 1400 the next.

    Boy it's so hard.....
