  • Checking in for the day:

    No changes for me still 147
    I was bad all weekend while I was out of town. I'm pretty ticked at myself, but thats ok.
    Today is a new day :wink:
  • Checking in this morning.

    I am still at 175lbs but I have lost another 2 in off my waist and chest (below the cup) and 1 1/2 off my hips! It seems I plateau lbs wise every few weeks but tone up during that time. I'm liking it in some ways. People have been commenting on my weightloss A LOT this week so it's all good.

    Keep up the fight for those shoes Ladies!!! I'll be travelling back to my hometown, all the way across the country next week, so I may miss a weigh in but I promise to be good. :tongue:

    well we could all try it...lol It worked tthis week for me...maybe i didnt lose as much as I wanted but i still lost and i'm mid way through my TOM
    LW: 130lbs
    CW:129lbs
    GW:110lbs

    So I notice during my TOM I tend to get cravings for anything sweet or salty...so what I did was bought some seasalt peanuts and a lot of fruit...and then ate my reg healthy meals....I'd munch on 1/3 of a serving of peanuts when the salt cravings came on and then i'd eat fruit for my reg snack...Then I think the trick of it all is I drank more water than what I normally drink about 2-4extra glasses a day

    I'm not really sure if it works per say but this month it did and I don't feel bloated like I normally do...the cramping was still horendeous and almost unbearable but i did manage to get some work outs in :bigsmile: soooo next month i'm going to see if i can make it through it again without any gain and hopefully some type of loss

    I've figured it out. Set your scale (if you have the adjustable dial kind like me) so that it's at negative 5lb so, when you weigh yourself, no weight gain! :bigsmile:

    Hello Ladies!
    I've been MIA for the past week or so, I have been popping in once n' awhile to read whats up. I haven't been doing many of the challenges because w/out that list it's been hard to keep up. I did horrible this past weekend and ate like a pig, lol! However, the past few days I've been staying under, yay! My TOM should be comming any day now..so I hear ya all on whats been said in the last few posts...I'm worried this next week will be killer. Anyways, weighing in (we do that today, right?)...
    SW: 156
    LW: 146
    CW: 145
    ..so down a 1lb for the week. :drinker:

    :glasses: so, since there aren't any challenges, who's down with doing weekly ones? or do you still want to do daily ones? i kinda want to make a list, it motivates me.:flowerforyou:

    It might be easier to do weekly challenges....Or we could do a set of challenges per week then have one or two random challenge days....like have Cardio Mondays, Calorie Tuesdays, Water Wendsdays, Sugar Thursdays, Sodium Fridays and Wildcard Saturdays and Sundays.....:happy:

    that is a great idea. so since today was weigh in day, lets start a challenge! we need to stay on this ball if we are going to hit our goal and get those heels!

    this weeks challenge: commit to doing one new exercise for a week straight. whether that be a new routine, intervals, using a new piece of equiptment. and it has to be for at least 15 minutes.

    any objections?

    i don't know what kind of days we should do, those are all great suggestions kittyngirl.

    Maybe do a week long exercise goal (i'm going to try out the torture device known as the 'Arc' machine....) and then do daily food goals....:tongue:

    Or we could have a small daily challenge (that we plan in advance) and an larger weekly challenge like only have one non-water beverage a day for the whole week.

    i like the idea of daily challenges, but with the larger weekly challenge, just cause i can easily mess up on a daily challenge and have it be over with, but can get back on the wagon with the weekly!

    i don't have any suggestions for the daily ones but am cool with any suggestions

    I vote we stick the food ones in the daily challenges 'cause they are harder to stick to (no way I could stay within my sugar limits for a week.....) and have the exercise challenges be week long since everyone doesn't exercise on the same days....

    Friday- Don't weigh yourself. We all know there are probably some obsessive weighers. :wink:
    Saturday- Stay under your sodium.
    Sunday- Spend at lease 1/2 hour outside
    Monday-Stay under your sugar (I think we all failed that one last time)
    I'm running out of ideas...

    OH! I thought of another one:

    Tuesday: Sleep at least 7hrs (sleep is key for weightloss)
    Wednesday: Try a new food.
    Thursday: Only one non-water beverage

    Down a half pound for the week... Not as good as I would have liked, but down anyways!

    SW 206
    LW 187
    CW 186.5
    GW 170 (by October 31)

    No time to chat, I think I might try to fit in a walk. Went out to the orchestra camp my oldest has been at all week to hear the chamber concert. It lasted a half hour. Took twice that long to drive out and back... lol. Then have to drive back for the final concert at 7. And then I get to bring him home... lol

    I love the Arc Trainer at the Y! I burn gajillions of calories on it. I can burn 500 to 600 in a half hour...The key is resistance
