Hi Green team! This is Angie. I thought for this week's challenge we would work on meeting your exercise goals. For example, my exercise goals are to exercise 150 minutes 6 days a week. My focus will be to meet my goal this week. I was doing really good for the last 2 months, but then my gym closed for 10 days. Now I am struggling to get back in my routine. Remember to check in and have a great week!:happy: :happy:

    great challenge...thats one thing that I struggle to meet so I like it.

    I wanted to go ahead and post my weight this morning....it said 127 so back up a pound but I am not changing it b/c I just got a visit from my Aunt Flow yesterday morning and she is making me bloated....:mad: so I am going to wait and see what I am in a few days and if I have gained I will adjust accordingly....(I am just not accepting it right now) :noway:

    Hope everyone got wayyyy better results than me but either way we are on our way to success and going to all be lookin' smokin hot soon. :bigsmile:

    hope you all have a great day and good luck with your challenge for this week.

    This is purr
    hiya greenies! my weigh-in is 203.4, which is a pound less from last week. had lost a lot more but it's found me back. it's due to leave forever one of these days, so i'm not bothered at all. i am slowly settling here, will have more time to post next week, i hope more guys frequent the thread as it appears to have become emptier again

    good luck with the scale everyone!

    yeah, I only lost .2 this week as well. but i agree, a loss is a loss. i'm in for the exercise challenge as well. i'll have to go check what my goals are, i think it's 60 min a day for six days. angie, you work out 150 min a DAY???? that's awesome! do you worry about overtraining at all?

    Hi all!!! I lost the 2 lbs I was up last week plus one more putting me at 186. Thanks for all your support, I'm guessing it was TOM that contributed to all of my complaining and whining (plus gain!).

    I had a great week. Better than I had even hoped for. I am 248.4, which is 4.6 pounds. I am really stoked! I have been eating about the same as before, so whatever caused me to stagnate for those few weeks has apparently resolved itself. My gym re-opened, so I've gone 2 days in a row. I do eat some of my exercise calories back, but not all.

    With the kids finishing up their extra activities and school ending (one yesterday and one next week), I was wanting to focus on increasing exercise, so this week is a very good challenge for me.

    I did not get all my water in yesterday. But, have all the other days.

    This is amm
    I drank all of my water for the week except on Friday. I am out of town right now and can't weigh myself so I will use my weight from Wednesday at 207.2 pounds. This was a very bad week. Hopefully next week will be better.

    :drinker: Got most of my water in for the week, been sick on and off. Going to the doctors today to see whats up! The sun has been out and about here which leads to great outdoor thing for our family, so needless to say we have been walking,climbing,hiking,and on the beach a lot which is so great.
    Gained a pound back this week, but A/F is here so hopefully it is all her fault and I can get her for it!:laugh: lost some inches though YAY!!!
    Good luck Green! and congrats for sticking to it!!!
    GO GREEN!

    Hi GT!! Well my dog got lost today, so I did a two hour power walk/call in the rain - didn't eat lunch as a result of said stress but the dang dog was hiding in the back yard under a tarp!!!! Old stinker she is (think her hearing is about gone so she proably didn't hear Raffy calling her to come in :noway: ):noway: so immediately thereafter went to Liberty Travel to pick up my vacation package for Curacao!!! :drinker: :drinker:

    I hope I'm not the only one on all weekend, it gets lonely here sometimes!

    Porka-sorry to hear that you had to stress with your dog but so glad you found her. And sorry that she is losing her hearing. Had a dog and cat like that and its just so sad.
    you wont be the only one on b/c I will need to be checking in and making sure I track my calories this weekend.
    Soooo jealous that you are leaving to go to Curaco....when are you going? ahhhhh I need a vacation so bad. My hubby and my 1 yr wedding anniversary is coming up and I am getting us tickets to the Biltmore so will be doing that some time before Nov.( thats when it expires)
    I cant wait b/c its sooo rare we get any time to ourselves with having 4 kids in the house....3 are teenagers too.
    well I hope my GT gets in a great and fun weekend. Wish you all happy sunshine days and hope for no rain on any of you.

    Well kitn, I think your wishes for sunshine went unheeded in S fla.......lol. Well, it's hotter than a dog's (not lost one :laugh: ) breath out right now but we have 80% chance of thunderstorms today. Really, I told my neighbor, we've had a drought on for so long that it's weird to have rain EVERY day and afterwards it's quite like a sauna sooo steamy.:mad: Ladies, my hair is not straight like my avatar photo (spec occasions courtesy of my hair dresser), but naturally curly and that steam kills my look..............:laugh:

    I'll stop for now and getting in some water but will check in through out the day if possible. I'm thinkin with all these storms maybe a movie would be good tonight>>>>will think on it, any suggestions?

    Hi all,
    Well I lost it!! I think I am officially in Menopuase. As that Jack in the box comerical goes, STREET RAT CRAZY!! Something snap with me yesterday, everybody just seem to irritate the #$!! out of me. I don't know if from the stress of mom being inthe hospital or the two (trying to think wonderful) teenager of mine or my 2 young co-workers that are so agh!!
    Well I cut off all my hair and dye it strawberry blond but loks more orand and pink (at least to me it does) I like the shortness but with a fat face it, well I am just not sure
    Porka-sorry about the dog, I had lost one of mine last month and the other is getting old, she crying because she can't do the things she used too
    Wow !! I think everyone is having a rough time, Maybe we all need to figure out our emtional side to this, maybe because of the changes we are trying to make we are leaving our comfort zone, you know the ones that help us put on the weight.
    I know part of the reason I cut my hair is I always like short hair and I kept telling myself once I lose more weight it would looke better and I'll do it then, But then yesterday I decided What ever I am gonna do it and if nobody like it whatever, maybe this will give me the push I needed, who knows? I am just getting tired of one day and I decided I need to do the things I want regardless what other people think.
    Sorry I kinda dragged on. Well let me eat brunch I guess since it no lunch time yet and then I am gonna spend time at the gym. Talk to ya later

    No exercise for me yesterday, but it was a planned day off. Trying to motivate myself to go to the gym this morning. I know I should. And I should want to, but just not feeling it yet. Maybe too early for me. I just woke up. I'm out west... It's still morning.

    YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok so yesterday I went over my cals here by 450......still gave me a 97 cal deficit if you figure in my true activity BMR.........So today I am busting my *kitten* I am hitting the pool! It is finally OPEN!!!!!!!!!! So no excuse this summer...other then school.....I start classes Tuesday - Saturday 8:30-5pm daily for 10 months :(. But until I start I am gonna hit the pool for an hour a day....even if it is jogging in place in there.....

    I desperately need ALOT more motivation ya'll. I have been here since Jan 21st and the steam is running out for me. I have done a ton of combo changes......1200 don't eat the exercise.....1200 do eat the exercise.....1350 don't....1350 do......1450 don't/do. Now my nutritionist has me at up to 1500 cals......whether I exercise or not only eat 1500 cals.. no exercise cals unless I feel hungry....so I am gonna see how that works and swim daily...........drink tons of water and make the next 30 days major workout days......cause when school comes I will not have the luxury I have had the last 6 months.

    Argh :(:(:(
