Summer Challenge- 20 lbs by Aug. 31st

Changeisgonnacome

Happy Friday all

A huge shout out to Pip and Ocean91- huge losses this week.

I am horrified and so disgusted to report a weigh in of 186 lbs this a.m.
I actually worked out 4 days however I blew it on my food and bloody snacking. This was my week to break the 180's- right! Now I'm closer to the 90's :noway: :noway:
Lord above- this is such a head game.

Am really proud of you out there, keep it up. You inspire me to stay with this. It's not over till it's over right?
Kytngirl and Nikkitoo-You both ROCK

I definately need words to kick me in the A## and get back on track!!!

Thanks!
You can do it! I know you can.
One should live without regret and if you don't do this for yourself, you'll put yourself in a situation where you might have regret. How's that for words to get you back on track.

Hey Bettame

Great to see your still in the challenge- and you know what? I can beat that measly pound gain by FOUR!!!!! I cannot let this go guys. I am having such a crappy week and the person who starts this challenge is failing. I really fell like I'm letting the group down and if so... I am so sorry and promise that this week I will throw myself into it body and soul :sad: :sad: :sad:

Don't feel bad! Make this week a fresh start! I myself do so well during the day while I'm at work, but it's when I get home, and sit in front of the TV that I have the hardest time! I pig out like there's no tomorrow! So, this week, I put little stickies ALL over my house that say "Remember what you want", "No snacking past 8PM", "Drink Water", and "You can doooo iiiiiiiitttt!!" haha, I even hung my swim suit right by my TV... It looks a little weird, but it really helps me out! When I get that feeling, I look at my suit, and remember that me being healthy is way more important than the bowl of cereal I was heading for....

Hope that helps love! YOU CAN DO IT! Be strong! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I want to join I have a party to go to on aug.29 and I want to drop 20lbs, any advice besides the counting calories???

Kidvicious28

Holy moly! I missed all of this? lol Geesh! I feel like I haven't written in this thread in awhile. How's everyone doing so far? I have been so busy this summer. I have cheated a few times and haven't logged my food, but overall I'm maintaining my weight. I lost a few lbs last week so that's great!


Hope everyone is having a great summer!!! Keep up the good work!:flowerforyou:

Kidvicious28

Take it slow. It's better to lose weight slowly bc you won't gain all the weight back...at least that's what I've experienced. Watch your cals, carbs, sodium, etc etc..eat your exercise cals (or at least some of them as long as you're staying above 1200 cals a day). Exercise exercise exercise! (interval training and circuit training are great!) Keep you're body active make sure you give yourself a rest day and def always stretch before and after working out. Ooo and don't forget to drink your water and eat healthy foods (balanced diet)
