    Met my first weekend goals today...Lifted for an hour (full body, ow) with 10 min. running to warm up and 20 min. elliptical after lifting to total 30 min of cardio. I got new Sauconys today and I LOVE them!!! Had to test them out on the indoor track! :love:

    I had a healthy cheat day full of whole grains and fish and even a vegan pastry. Yum! I was so painfully hungry when I woke up this morning I knew it was time.

    Tomorrow I'm taking my new shoes out on the road for my final day of week 9 on the G28k program!

    I met Friday's goals. Bar none...a good day.

    Saturday:
    Weighed myself on Saturday I was still hoping for 100.8.. and i wasn't. I think it distracted me or something. My hubby left for his weekend with the guys and he kitchen magically called my name by late afternoon today.... so
    1) I failed to post on Saturdy this maybe accounts for some of my lack of motivation for...
    2) Eat clean ....nope, had cookie dough (not even made into cookies...you've been there....)
    I did find Chocolate Frozen Yogurt in the Icecream isle... I gotta say this stuff tastes good and....can I call it healthy? Frozen Yogurt....hmmm 90cal per 1/2 cup. YUMMO!!
    3) No Soda ..... MET. I DID NOT DRINK SODA!!!!! YEA!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!
    4) KenpoX ....MET
    5) ELLIP 30 (nope, but I did walk /shop for 2 hours.....maybe that counts?

    Its like 1am and I couldn't sleep (too much sugar in my body? not sure ....hubby's not home and maybe that's some of it too.
    So, Sunday (Today) I will eat clean again.
    I have already made my food journal entries (which will help a lot).

    -Have a good day... I'll check in later.

    I MET MY GOALS, I MET MY GOALS.....WooHoo, WooHoo. :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    First, I went to the gym to complete my boot camp homework which was to jog/run 2 or 4 miles. I jogged/ran 3.75 miles and then headed to kickbocking class. I attended the full 45 minute class and between jogging and kickboxing burned a whopping 770 calories.

    My final goal was harder to attain but I am soooooooooooooo proud that I did. My friend catered her annual holiday celebration and the girl can THROW DOWN. My goal was not to over indulge and I did not. She started the evening off with cocktails. She made Pomegrante margaritas w/the sugar rimmed glasses and everything and I did not have one single drink. I opted for a tall glass of cold water.

    In addition to the drink, she made about 15 appettizers......crab dip, salmon dip, shrimp w/kidney bean puree on a baguette (this was great and actually a very healthy choice....she had whole wheat baguettes and the kidney beans were cooked w/chives and sweet yellow onions), egg plant w/portabella mushrooms, mexican meatball served on a tortilla, flatbread w/bleu cheese and onion, and a whole bunch of other things I can't remember.

    I was so thankful she only offered appetizer sized plates so you couldn't pile the food on and I purposely sat the furthest away from the food so whenever I thought about getting up to get another helping I would take a sip of water and then remain seated.

    I also did not make a "to go" plate although she offered several times.

    I did enjoy myself however fellowshipping with good friends and watching the football game.

    Morning!

    Since I refed yesterday I can't use my scale weight this morning to check in. However, I have lost 1/2 inch off my abdomen (the poojy area right below your belly button!) and I haven't lost anything there in SO long so I'm still excited!! :drinker:

    My boot camp instructor has told me to get rid of the scale so I have temporarily relocated it to an undisclosed location so i will not be weighin in today but when I weighed in at boot camp on Friday I found that I had gained 1 lb but lossed 1% body fat. Despite the weight gain I am not discouraged b/c I believe I have gained some muscle. In addition, my instructor told me my body may have entered starvation mode and for me to increase my caloric intake to see if this will help. Thus, I have changed my goals on MFP to see if this will help. Despite not weighin in I will continue to participate in the "Fit and Fun sized" thread and offer words of encouragement whenever possible.

    FaFS = 129 lbs
    GW = 125 lbs
    LW = 129 lbs
    CW = 130 lbs

    I stuck to my nutrition goals well this last week, but slacked off some on exercise. I am particularly proud of myself on the nutrition goals because I dined out several times. I am down 2.8 pounds from last week.

    FaFS = 130.0
    LW = 130.8
    CW = 128.0
    GW = 110.0

    Marilla, Great Job especially since you slacked a tad bit on the exercise. You are well on your way to being the bride you want to be (i snuck a peek at your profile). I have gained a pound this week despite the fact that I have been very consistent w/eating healthy and working out. My boot camp instructor thinks I may have entered starvation mode so we are trying to increase my caloric intake to see if that helps. I was just curious what your daily caloric intake is since we weigh about the same. I know our body comp is probably different and we don't have the same goals (my goal weight is 125lbs) but i'm interested to know what you're taking in.

    Anyone out there who would like to share please feel free. I'm just trying to figure out what will work best for me but interested to know what everyone else's caloric intake is prior to exercise and you can let me know if you eat all of your exercise calories.

    Thank a bunch.

    I lost 1/2 pound this week which is about what I should loose each week. I went over on calories, but made up for it by increasing my excercise. Next week I plan to keep up the extra exercise, but get back on track with calories.

    So many of you did well last week. That is so inspiring for us struggling through this time of year.

    Do we have a challenge for next week yet?

    Switching up my routine this week. Im gonna eat 5 small meals and see how that works out. Well its really more like 3 small meals and 2 snacks. Very discouraged, I feel like im never gonna loose this weight. Hopefully this meal plan will work better bc i wont be starving by dinner (i hope). Also im going to try not to eat back all of my exercise calories. Usually i eat them all back and then plus some. Its gonna be hard but im gonna try.

    FaFS SW (11/30) 190.8
    CW 185

    - 5.8lbs
    goal -40.8 lbs
    46.6 to go

    Likely water lost for me this week. Only 3 really good eating days, and same for exercise. Gonna keep with my plan, and goal is to work towards 80-90% of lifestyle change.... and remain focused and positive!

    The calorie ques....I know I am a lot heavier than you, and MFP has me anywhere from 1200 to 1400 calories a day. But, since being on here ( almost a yr ), I have noticed that I lose more wt if I am in the 1500 - 1700 calorie range. And I burn anywhere from 300 - 600 in exercise, depending on the day. I don't log my food that well, but stay healthy, within calories and am usually over on protein and fiber....and very low on salt. I sometimes eat all my exercise calories, and then I don't. I even go over some days, but it is not consistant. You might want to try and increase your calories 100-300 /day. I don't know...we are all different here. Just a suggestion....good luck and let us know what works out!

    :flowerforyou: Congrats to all of you who lost weight this week and especially to those of you who continued with your rigorous exercise programs. :smile: This is the first week since January that I haven't logged a weight loss......I don't log a pound lost until it's been gone for at least a week :laugh: however, I keep lowering my goal so maybe I'm finally where I should be. The weight I posted last week was 117, my scale today said 115.6 but I won't claim 116 until I'm under it for a week.

    I have been at 1200 calories a day since I started in January at 183. My eating has been consistently clean and nutrition dense so I've made the calories truly nourish my body. My weight loss was about two pounds a week for awhile and then slowed to one pound a week and now has slowed even more. At first I didn't eat my exercise calories, then I started to eat some of them as I noticed that I felt weak after a vigorous long walk or dance class. Now I eat at least half of them and sometimes almost all of them. My challenges are days when I have all day meetings and catered meals so calories in are high and calories burned are low. I've been known to ride the exercise bike or do a Leslie Sansone "Walk at Home" after 10 PM just to burn the exercise calories. :laugh:

    Well , I lost 1 lb this week, which is pretty good for me. I have had a lot of muscle gained in the last 5 weeks so getting the scale to move regularly has been hard!!! :smile:

    I allowed my self a cheat today :blushing: , but still stayed in my calorie range for the day!!! I am going to do a healthy dinner so it will be all good!!!

    Congrats to all who took the scale down this week :flowerforyou:
