OVER 200 CLUB PUMP IT UP (OPEN GROUP) WEEK 12
Replies

Hey I have been searching around and I would like to join this group. Within just a few months I have seen my weight jump from 192 to 209! :explode: I just need to stay focused! Today I did 55 mins. However my problem is not really working out...its eating! I need this group. Thanks!0

Went over my calories by 100, stayed within yesterday. Drank all my water today and yesterday. Haven't made it to the gym at all this week, although I have been walking a little. My goal is to go to the gym tomorrow after work...they scheduled me till 9 the past few weeks which has thrown me off a little, because I get home and get really tired. I am going to try to go in the mornings if this continues to happen.

And another pound bites the dust :laugh:
Calories: within goal
Water intake: always more than the minimum
Excercise: 45 minute brisk walk/30 minutes of Pilates
As far as the challenge... I cannot yet do push ups but I'm doing a bulding excercise where you start in the up position and lower yourself down. Then get back into position and repeat. My trainer told me that was a good way to work the muscles required to do them. So that's all I've got... sorry.

Threw in 30minutes of Tae Bo0

Calories: great
Water intake: didn't do so great on water
Excercise: 40 minutes mowing the lawn
will do extra push ups tonight ... another good challenge because it will make me stay longer at my body pump class at the Y instead of skipping out early. :happy:0 -
Calories: good
Water: good
Exercise: Did slim in 6 video with son (that was pretty funny, he is 4)
Proud that I got the exercise in, instead of just not doing because he wasn't in bed, I just included him.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!! :happy:0 -
Hi Girls, happy Tuesday. Wow everyone is so motivated I am proud of you all.
♦Welcome KismetHot, we need you too!!! All the motivation a group can get the better we are.
♦lstpaul, I am so proud of you for staying within your calories. I knew you could do it.
♦ready2bff, great job on the water, oh and my son is 4 also
That is always a good idea to incorporate our children. I believe that they will have fond memories of things like that. Mom and me goofing off and moving to a video. My son does wall push ups with me and makes the same noise as I do. :blushing: I need to be aware of those grunts.
♦SarahAnnaBanana, if your body is not able to do a challenge then you listen to it. We are doing these things to motivate and have fun. We do not want anyone doing anything their body is not ready to do.:flowerforyou: Personally, I am not able to do push ups so I do wall pushups. It is a lot easier on the body.
♦Andrea, walking is exercise. Working so late will throw someone off. So as long as you are walking do not be too hard on yourself. I have 4 children and I am a sahm so I can't afford a gym membership. Home is my gym. The park is also my gym. So it can be done. Do not be discouraged and keep up the good work.0 -
Thx Momma2four, you always make me feel better!!
ready2bff that is sooo cool I bet he had a blast!0 -
Good evening everyone ...... did great on my calories but i have been since starting this site this past saturday ... water is awesome and i did an hour of cardio and will be doing 20-30 minutes on my total gym0

Hi everyone, I am having trouble today. :grumble: I am so hungry. :grumble: I know I am not but my body keeps telling me I am. I am over on my calories today. I ate all my exercise calories plus 56 additional calories. I know that we are not suppose to eat all our exercise cals. I also had decided that I did not want to go over 1400 cals even when I exercise. I am at 1776. :mad: I had a hard time yesterday too. I am not having any trouble with my water though and I did exercise this morning. Took a long brisk walk. I can Not go back to my old ways. This is too important for my health. My blood pressure is high. I was just put on meds for that 3 weeks ago. Every time I go and get my blood pressure checked it's high.:explode: My older brother who was very thin died at 35 his blood pressure was high and caused him to have a stroke. I am 38, overweight, (that rhymes:laugh: ) and I do not want to have a stroke.
I am so sorry that I am complaining so much, thanks for listening 0 -
I keep a grip of cucumbers on hand for snacking. They are low calorie, great for digestion and let me eat when I need to. I can snack on 2-3 cucumbers a day and not go over my 1200 calories. You're not meant to meet an ill fate and you ARE on the path to make sure of that... it's normal to hit some bumps on the road ahead. Don't get down on yourself.
I am impressed by what a positive influence and motivator you are for a group of complete strangers. You have great character, hang in there!

Hey Guys!
Just wanted to check in.... It's been a rough couple of weeks for me emotionally. Had to deal with a friend trash talking me behind my back :grumble: and a fight with my live in boyfriend.
So... it was tough. But I DIDN'T go for the Chips & Dip or the Ice Cream, that used to be my comfort blanket! :bigsmile: I went for my bike instead. I must have looked like a moron, talking to myself :grumble: and intermittant bouts of crying... but I pedaled and pushed myself for 10 miles. And today... even though it's not my usual weigh in day... I stepped on the scale this morning. I have hit my September goal weight a week early! So... Happy Dance!
I couldn't have done it without MFP or the buddies I have made here. :blushing: Thank you everyone, for sharing your success stories with me and for being so supportive! I...promised... myself... I... wouldn't.... cry. Lol! Thanks so much, and best of luck to everyone!
WE CAN DO THIS!0 -
Oh yea... Did I stay within my calories? HECK YEA! I was even 50 under and I hadn't even logged my exercise yet!
Did I drink my water. Yes! I set a new goal. I sent the message below to all my friends to keep me honest!
So today is going to be a good day! Make yourself a new goal! Mine is drinking a 16oz bottle of water on the way to work and on the way home from work each day. Send me a comment with your goal, and it will give me an idea and I will try to check in with you and see how you are doing! It will also give you accountibility! Send this comment to your friends and get them to work on a new goal too!
And what did I do that I am proud of? I didn't dive into the bag of ruffles my BF left on the coffee table when I was depressed and crying. I did something POSITIVE!
So Yay!0 -
Momma2four: I'm sorry you had such a bad day yesterday with eating ... I think we have all been there from time to time. Today is a new day and you just need to move on, we can't be perfect every day or we would go insane! Have a great day today, you can do it! :flowerforyou:
Shuutnstar: Congrats on reaching your goal! I bet that feels good! And that is HUGE that you were able to avoid emotional eating and went exercising instead! Good job! :drinker:
I had a great day yesterday with exercise ... stayed for 2 full hours at the Y and worked my butt off (hopefully literally! :laugh: ). I stayed under my calorie limit, but I ate some of my exercise calories and could have made a few better food choices - but overall I did well and didn't eat as many of my exercise calories as I used to. I did good with my water - although too much at night again so I was up half the night with trips to the bathroom.:grumble:
I did 40 pushups for our challenge ... that is what motivated me to stay for the full 2 hours of classes at the Y because we do pushups at the end of that 2nd class! Yeah!

Hang in there, I think there are days were your are just hungrier than normal, get through these days and just stay on track. You can do it!!!!0 -
awww thanx you guys are so sweet. :flowerforyou: I do feel better today. I know it is a new day. You guys are great. We can all do this together, we are a team. I met a lady at my daughters bus stop, her children are at the same stop. She just asked to walk with me today and I said sure. So that was nice to have some company. It made the walk go quicker. She wants to walk with me again tomorrow.
♦Shuutnstar, glad you are back. Congrats on doing the right thing and on meeting your goal for September early. I am so proud of you.
♦lstpaul, great job on the exercise, 2 hours you are awesome. Thanx again for the encouragement
♦SarahAnnaBanana, cucumbers is a great idea for snacking. I love a little bit of redwine vinegar on them. Thanx again for the really nice comments. I do feel better today.
♦Ready2bff, thanx again for the encouragement, I appreciate all the support.0 -

Thats awesome, keep with the good work!!!!
lstpaul - 2 hours at the Y, you must have burned a ton of calories, great job, I bet you feel great today!!!0 -

The other nice thing about walking with a friend is that you burn more calories from talking while walking! I can't believe how much higher my heart rate stays on my HRM when I'm walking and talking with a friend ... I guess I'll have to try talking to myself while I walk if I'm alone - although I might look pretty crazy!:laugh:0 -

I saw an informercial for a new exercise plan where you sing while you exercise and you burn more calories, plus you breath properly and get more oxygen. Let' s all go out and sing while we walk??:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: If we start next week we can see if we all lose more weight:laugh: :laugh: They may have me arrested for my singing though:laugh:0 -
They would arrest me for noise pollution if I sang while I walked. :P
Yesterday:
Water - still low. I don't have any excuses
Calories - good
Exercise was okay. I got a walk in, and got my push ups done.0 -
lstpaul - 2 hours at the Y, you must have burned a ton of calories, great job, I bet you feel great today!!!
I was exhausted last night
... but I really 'felt' like I was losing weight, and I feel good today. My HRM said I burned 1990 calories!!!!!! (But I don't believe that it could actually have been that much.)
I'm going on vacation next week to a cabin and it's going to be challenging ... so I'm really hoping to see some progress on the scale this week to keep me motivated! 0 -

Great job, I need to do my pushups I am slacking off today. Although I am doing real well on my water today. I also took a 40minute walk before breakfast and a slower paced walk before lunch 60 minutes. Because I am just feeling hungry (TOM is on it way) I am trying to exercise a bit before each meal. I tend to eat less when I do that. My only problem is I have had some high cal breakfast and a high cal lunch, good thing dinner plans are lower cal so it will end up balancing out.0 -
Good day everyone ....... wooooohooooo lost 2 pounds this week ..... I am within my calories even after working out ..... water is GREAT ....going for that 2nd mile in walking but its hard since my 3 year old's lil legs are tiny LOL0

I am going to a lake this weekend which is also a challenge for me, usually a bunch of junk food, beer and soda. I told myself I am going to make sure and take walks and swims and watch what I eat. Good luck and have a good vacation.0 -
Yesterday
Calories: went over 300
Water: good
Exercise: didn't get it in, had bad hail storm several weeks ago and we have been dealing with contractors and the one came late and it was almost 9pm when he left, I was not very happy.
Proud: ate a really good dinner0 -
yea... I went way over my cals today..I don't even want to post by how much! There has been some family drama and am trying to get through this funk ugh. Did drink all my water and I am proud that I got a little care package ready for my sister (she is having a baby soon!!!!!!)0

Well MY bad day was yesterday :mad: ... I was so happy and proud of myself for working out so hard Tuesday night - that I think I used that as an excuse to not exercise yesterday and to eat way too much junk. I also made the mistake of weighing myself this morning and the scale was not kind:explode: - I am up 1.5 pounds. That really de-motivated me before my step class this morning and I didn't work out as hard as normal. I need to shake it off though and have a good day today, maybe the scale will be better tomorrow or Saturday... I always seem to weigh more on Thursdays - so I shouldn't even weigh myself!, plus with how poorly I ate yesterday I'm feeling pretty bloated. I really wanted to get to 15 pounds lost before my vacation next week!!!! aargh!!!!
Yesterday
Calories: went over 660
Water: good
Exercise: none ... except a lame attempt at doing a few wall pushups for our challenge while my son was brushing his teeth - but should have done more
Proud: I'm not giving up0 -
Yesterday (Wednesday)
Calories: Perfect
Water: got a little more than should!!!!
Exercised: 60 pushups, 100 crunches, 20 flights of stairs
Proud: ate well and exercised
andreasoulcastle: Congratulations, it is so awesome to be an aunt!!!!0 -
