187 by the End of August.

One thing I will cut out this week is BREAD. :sad: I love it.
I WILL add the fifteen minutes. Probably on my stationary bike.
The reason I am on MFP is I had decided to start counting calories. When I went to the internet to look for the calories for the foods I was eating for breakfast, I came across this sight. After checking it out I decided that MFP would be the way to go. I needed to track calories as I am Hypothyroid and the weight had been just TOO DARN HIGH. Plus being unhealthy. I'm so glad I found this sight. Everyone on here is so encouraging.

I didn't post a recipe as I couldn't find one that I felt was nice enough to share. Especially as I really don't like to cook anymore. (Kids gone husband fussy.) There you have it. Oh I did increase my water and will keep that up.

Cut out Bread and will keep that up. Feel much better without it. Is difficult for me as I love bread.
I didn;t add the minutes as I am fighting fatigue right now. Will try to go for it this week.
Posted reason why I'm on here. (See above)

Looks like it's been a great week for most, including myself. I was really worried the scale wasn't going to budge but it did.

SW: 136
W1: 133
W2: 135
CW: 132.4

I'm already using weights, which I love. We're taking a co-worker out to lunch this week, so I'll have to chalk up one day to eating out. I'll pamper myself with a home pedicure.

Good luck to all!:flowerforyou:

Alot of swelling this week ( had knee surgery in November ). Not freaking out because I know I didn't gain 2 lbs in fat this week. I worked out for over an hour five days this week and never went over on calories so i know it's from swelling and water.

So happy I lost this week! Didn't track on Sunday (was fathers day, food wasn't made by me, still only ate till I was full, tried to fill up on lean protein and veg etc) so was a little skeptical as to whether the scale would budge but the extra exercise obviously made up for it. Started 30 Day Shred last Monday, so have exercised for at least 27 minutes 6 out of 7 days, so I guess you could say I managed the extra 15 mins challenge from last week.

My personal challenge for this week is to get back to the gym! I've been slacking as of late, and really need to start strength training again as that's when I see bigger losses.

My start weight was 217.2 early Tuesday morning.



Not sure why my start weight is different on the spreadsheet. After searching the old thread, I found my original entry above.

SW: 217.2
W1: 214.8
W2: 214.8
CW: 214.6
GW: 199.0

Challenges met: Increase fruits and veggies - I tried several different melons I have never had before. One tasted more like a cucumber. Not sure if it just wasn't ripe enough yet. Love my asparagus - great excuse to eat more of that!!!
Add 15 minutes extra of exercise - went to the amusement park 2x with the kids this week - enough said! :happy: I am still trying to add the extra water from a few weeks ago as an ongoing challenge for myself - very difficult.

I forgot to add what I gave up for the week: My week of misery was giving up peanut butter. Phew, won't do that again - worse than PMS attitude!!!

Collidoscopekid

Weighing in at 185....again. I'm really disappointed. I worked out so hard and didn't go over my calories even one day. I am really hoping I am just retaining water because yesterday I weighed 182.8.

Hoping for a better next week!

Hi all, I know I'm a little late to the game, but hope it's alright if I join this challenge with you now. I really want to refocus on my health and recommit to making good decisions for my body. When I get tired or stressed or bored, my eating habits go all over the place and I stop working out. I'll do my first weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm a little nervous because I've been making poor choices for myself recently, but I want to see what the scale says because it is an easy way for me to keep myself accountable and track progress, even if it isn't a perfect measure of fat lost. My goal in general is to be more toned all over. I think there's no reason not to be in my best shape and I want to commit to getting there. I'll add weight goals tomorrow, after my weigh in.
Goals for this week:
go to at least 3 barre classes
cardio at least 5 days
not eat late at night

Hope everybody's feeling energized and optimistic,
Em

I lost 1.6 LB this week.

This last week was really hard for me. I was not really able to work out because of the smoke from our wild fire. I had to really focus on my calorie goal.

This week challenges will be easy for me.
1) I do not eat out so I will not have to worry about that one.
2) I already do 2 days of strength training so that works for me.
3) A co worker and I have already made an appointment to get our nails done.

I lost 1.7 pounds this week :happy: I'm back on track

The challenges:

eating out: that will be a problem, I've already planned 2 dinners this week... :ohwell: (but it's the first time in 6 weeks, so that's okay )
Weight training: I'll try to add some
Pampering: I will pamper myself saturday! I'm loving this challenge!

Keep up the good work everyone :flowerforyou:

Oops, I thing I replied in the earlier thread...

I am new to the site and just saw this post on my home page. I am hoping it can help me to stay motivated! So I guess I will go ahead and weigh in now and try to catch up with you guys!

SW: 228
GW: 215

I have never been amazing at sticking to a routine and watching what I eat, but I have been 200-500 cal under my goals for the last 3 days and have fought the temptation to buy, and devour, a box of swiss rolls! Hoping that more of a stretch goal will keep me on track.

Love this week's challenge!

No change this past week. I did great on the challenge to cut something out: I cut sodas, and still holding strong.
I didn't exercise hardly at all. Was a very rough week...and now my TOM :-/ Hope that's not TMI!

Excited about this week's challenges, and I am praying I will have a loss this week too!
