The 12lb challenge- Starts January 26th

Sinz2011

Hey All!!

I need motivation and support in losing 15lbs by the end of February. I know the group says 12lbs, but for some reason it doesnt let me chnage the group topic. Its actually the "15lb challenge". If anyone wants to join me please let me know. I will be starting tomorrow. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but its been a while since I challenged my body, so I accepted it.

I will be adding a weekly excercise goal each week along with this!

If anyone wants to join please provide the following details:

Second weigh-in: February 9th

This is just what I need! I'm just getting started and have to work out before everyone wakes up. It's not very early (6:30 am) but I like to sleep. I need some motivation!

4. Deatils of your workouts and diet plan.
I track calories on myfitnesspal (love the phone app). Using recipes from sparkpeople and hungrygirl to give me an idea of healthy meals.
Meals: Home-cooked dinners and lunches. Going for quantity and quality so lots of veggies, lean meats (chicken, ground turkey, some steak), using less oil, butter, and cheese. Measuring my servings.
Snacks: always carrying raw almonds in my purse for a snack when I'm too busy to eat a meal so I don't attack the pantry when I get home. If I'm at work a string cheese gives me a boost.
Exercise: videos streamed in to my tv so i can use my excersie ball, dumbells, or cardio with no equipment. At least 30 minutes of exercise a day (3 days of cardio only, 3 days of resistance, 1 day of rest). Trying to just be more active in down times like when my kids are at their activities, when we're hanging out after dinner, etc. The kids are always moving so I am trying to engage and move with them instead of just sitting and watching - it's not much but it's a more active lifestyle.

I wake- up every morning at 6:00 am to workout before I head to work at 8:00am. Its a strtech every morning but the one thing that gets me out of bed is realising that the first 10 minutes is worth the long term result. So instead of thinking and lying in bed, i just bounce out and get into workout clothes, once I am in them.. its just an excuse to actually do the workout.

After morning workouts I feel like a million bucks!!!! focusing on my goals and prtetty much day dreaming about them.. keeps me going during the workout!!

Try it for the first 5 days, just pulll ureself out

This is just what I need! I'm just getting started and have to work out before everyone wakes up. It's not very early (6:30 am) but I like to sleep. I need some motivation!

I would like to try, this will give me the motivation to loose the last 12-15 lbs, heck id be happy to loose 10 lbs. This would help me be accountable for my actions.

I do 1 to 2 hours of exercise mon-fri I need to at least try and do something on Saturdays. Most of my meals are vegetarian with most all my dinners vegan, my problem is my sweet tooth and that I HATE water lol. Oh and cheese, Mayo, sour cream, and eggs are my weaknesses as well. If I can get those under control then I probably could get my ideal body size back!
