Yesterday was my 1st day and had a bad lunch at McDonald's but despite that I still managed to lose 1 pound!!!! I had a chicken salad for dinner. Even with the McDonald's I think I'm consuming less calories because I'm conscious of it. Hope to be ready for that swimsuit for our vacation in 5 weeks!
:mad: Starting Weight 4/29~142

Bikini Body goal~132
Final goal~110

Good Morning Ladies!!! Well, wanted to check in once more....I got on the scale again today (usually only weigh myself once a week or every other week, but was curious about the "water rentention or extra fluids) since it was TOM yesterday - and yesterday was 109 and today was 108 lbs!!! Normally, there is a 2- 2 1/2 lb fluctuation during this time that will last 4-5 days or so, so I was expecting to see 111 or so...but, I have actually uped (sp?) my calories this past week and I think that it is making a big difference. Now, this is only my personal opinion, but, I read somewhere that you can/should change up your calorie intake just like you switch up your cardio workouts. This is the first time I have tried it, but, it seems to have worked. I certainly won't just "blow it" on a whim, but maybe 1 or 2 days out of the month where you are still mindful but not extremely neurotic about your caloric intake, might have some benefits. Has anyone else experimented with this?
Also, are you all eating small meals throughout the day?? I have just recently started this (middle of March) and have noticed a much more satisfied feeling regarding hunger and energy....I actually feel like all I do is eat!!! lol:laugh:0 -
Only been doing this for a couple days and I'm already down 2 pounds! I can't stay away from the scale. The hard part will be the weekend. We're always out running around and we end up just picking up food so I'm going to have to be really careful. Also, we always go to dinner on Saturday night for a date. Haven't started exercising yet, going to start the Body for Life exercise program on Monday so I can't weight to see what the scale will say once I start moving!! This site is great!0

Hello all....hope you all had a great weekend....was pretty dreary here in southcentral pa - but, did end up going to the gym on Sunday for a kicker of a work out. Haven't stepped on the scale yet, but behaved myself for the most part - on Saturday took the family to a farmers market and while hubby had wings, a wrap and some pb cup dessert that looked out of this world and my son had a pretzel dog and french fries - I had a greek yogurt (that I took with me just in case) and THAT WAS IT!!! Was pretty proud of myself! I made my usual healthy lunch once we got home....funny, just 2 short months ago, I would never have considered this...would have been chowing on the hot wings with dear ole hubby....funny thing was, hubby felt horrible for the next several hours.....lol heehee Oh, and for those just starting this better eating thing...I didn't even miss the "junk" food, I was very content with my yogurt and it more than held me over til we got home....it was a proud moment. Anyway, now that it is officially May, the bathing suit season is JUST right around the corner....time to put it in overdrive!!! I plan on the gym 4 days this week with 3 of them strength training with cardio and running at home the other 2 days......
Hope you all have a good week and kick it!!!0 -
I'm so in! It's already bikini season here down south! I'm definitely NOT happy with the size I am right now.
Current Weight: 148.8
Goal Weight 130/135? I'm not sure. I have a medium build and I don't want to be too small.
I am counting calories and not drinking alcohol except for on weekends. I'm also giving myself one cheat day a week.0 -
hey folks...just checking in....how are we all doing? I have been right on target all week with food and gym, but, had pizza for lunch today. Oh well, I was planning on going to the gym tonight anyway - I will just have to kick it up a notch...not gonna let it bring me down.
Hope you are all in the groove....the clock is a ticking!!! lol Makes me wonder if it is better to live where you have winter months and can hide behind your clothes and spend 2-3 months in high gear getting ready for bikini season or if it is better to live somewhere where the weather is potential bikini weather all the time and you just work to maintain a bikini body.....hmmmmmmmm? I dream of having year round nice weather - that would certainly aid the variety of work out options!!!
Have a great day all!0 -
I'm in!
Current weight: 142:

How I'm gonna get there: NOT GO OVER MY CALORIES. Find something else to do when I feel stress. And I started the couch-to-5K 4 days ago.

I do the same thing! I seem to always be hungry. I'm suppose to only be eating 1200 calories a day and I used to consume around 2000 so I'm always hungry. To get my mind off of it and get out of the kitchen I've been spending more time on this site and it helps. This was my 1st week and it went OK. I think once my stomach gets used to this small quantity thing, I won't be so hungry.

Please keep this challenge going until next summer when I can join. I'm no where NEAR bikini size, but I have one hanging up in my closet as a tangible goal for next summer. 45 won't be too old to wear your first bikini, right??? KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! You guys are doing great!0
