Bikini Babes - January 2010

jlbay

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I've been reading weight loss tips on-line and I've decided to make a big batch of veggie soup to eat before dinner. I made my own veggie broth and have a couple of week's worth in the freezer. I'm just going to add a combo of frozen and fresh veggies to the broth and try eating a big bowl before dinner. I make my broth with almost no salt - so I can season it when I use it. I think I may just keep it fairly bland as I'm all bloated up from the holidays. I'm craving so much food - perhaps a "starter" of veggie soup will help satisfy me. Worth a shot.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your kind words with the passing of Bear. It meant a lot.

My weigh in yesterday was 157.5 so I was down 1.5 lbs. I am doing the results now, so they should be posted in the next few minutes

And the results:

Blondie925 - 0.70%
isotope - 0.54%
savvystephy - 0.59%
sjmay - 0.94%

Congrats everyone, another great job this week. I'm pretty excited, this is my first time to win. So, I was thinking for the challenge this week, make sure to track everything that you eat/drink and also to do the exercise that mfp has recommended for you for the week.

Good luck ladies:drinker:

Thank you for this challenge.... I have learned that I do WAY better when I'm tracking my food.... It is a major key for success in my opinion!!
Congrats on the big loss!!

Nice Challenge! I definitely need to track EVERYTHING or I may accidentally go over. However, so far this week I haven't lost any weight - in fact I have gained (even though I am sticking to my calorie goals), so I am hoping that it is muscle.. lol

Congrats on winning Sjmay!

That is when measuring would really benefit us :laugh: I really, really need to be measuring, but I just won't take the time to get my husband to do it I'm sure that you are gaining muscle... One good why to measure (without the tape) is how your clothes are fitting! Keep up the good work!!

Thanks Kandy! I measure at the end of every month, so I am trying to not get too hyped up about it right now. I am sure that's all it is, if it lasts for more than two weeks (weight gain), then I will reassess what I am doing and try to flip flop some things around to push it back down.

Awesome job everyone! And congrats sjmay! Great challenge too!

Congrats sjmay! Great challenge - I definitely need it to get myself back on track.

Good morning!

How's everyone doing with the challenge? I am not doing so great. I have been making sure to log all my food - except yesterday I ate way too much and didn't get it all logged. And I haven't done any exercise :sad: I'm so angry with myself. To think that I was frusterated when I got on the scale this morning and it was back up! I just really need to get my butt back in gear. It's like I think I'm still on holidays :explode:

So, I was hoping that everyone else is doing much better than me????

Have a great day :drinker:

kandyjo

I'm doing well!!! I HAVE to log my food, so I will be faithfully doing that :laugh: I do sooooo much better when I log... I have been feeling fabulous!!! Seriously; more energy, good mood... I attribute it to eating right and exercising so religiously lately... So, it is encouraging... The scale is not moving like I want it to right now... but I'm hoping it will give me fruits from my labor soon

savvystephy

I am doing well - logging food religiously and exercising every day so far this week. I have been so hungry today, so I have been trying to stick to healthy snacks (like green beans and carrots..). I only have 250 calories left and still haven't had dinner (it's 5:10pm here). BUT, I haven't exercised yet and will be doing boot camp conditioning tonight, so that should burn a ton of calories. I won't be too upset if I go over today though because my body has just been hungry hungry hungry - so I am just listening to what it needs.

porterbaby38

yes, i've been loggng my food and exercise. i've haven't weight myself for almost a week. i've decided to wait and weight myself saturday. i went jean shopping today. my 10's are to big. so i'm into a size 8's and i also bought a pair of 6's too.i can get the sixes on, but need alittle more work. i can zip it up and button it, with no problem, but it's a stomach thing.

Short Term goal: Still fit into the size 6 brides maid dress I just bought by March.

Long Term Goal: Run a 1/2 marathon this year. Really run the whole thing.

Goal just completed: Going 1 whole year without being in the emergency room for my asthma. I have finally beat it into submission for the first time since I was a child.

Happy New Year.

I just have to butt in and say that this post made me tear up! I have had chronic asthma since I was a kid, too, and I got it under control a couple of years ago. Going to the emergency room for asthma is awful. There were times where I would be suffering in the waiting room for HOURS because it wasn't "serious enough" to get me in before other people. I would hold myself back all the time because I was afraid of going to the hospital. It's WONDERFUL that you completed this goal. May you breathe easy for many years to come!! And good luck completing you other goals!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, BIKINI BABES!

I've been logging everything and I certainly don't like some of things I'm seeing! A couple of days there with all the work stress and I was eating crap. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day

You're moving in the right direction, though! Congrats and keep doing what you are doing. I feel frustrated all of the time, too. I'm trying hard not to give in to it, though.

I don't know how your man sabatoges you, but mine is just totally indifferent to what I'm doing - especially if it means there is no junk food in the house and we don't go to as many restaurants. I keep telling my husband I'm planning on wearing a BIKINI this summer (thinking that would get him on board with my plan) - you know what he wanted for dinner??? Pizza and wine. (sigh)

sjmay

Hi everyone!

My weigh in for this weekend was 157 so I am down 1/2 lb. I guess I can't complain, being that I didn't exercise all week. Today I finally jumped back on the wii fit. I couldn't believe it, it had been 35 days since I had last logged in:blushing: No wonder between holidays and feeling like I hadn't exercised, I gained weight. But, I am happy I went on today, so that is the first step.

I will have the results very shortly....

sjmay

Ok, this week's results:

isotope - 0.68%
jlbay - 0.93%
porterbaby38 - 0.44%
savvystephy - 0.60%

Good luck this week ladies!:flowerforyou:

jlbay

Great job everyone - we all had a loss - woo-hoo!

Okay, I'm a student, so outside of exercise, I spend a lot of time on my bum reading and studying. I've been thinking I need to get up and move around more.... so here is this week's challenge:

OUTSIDE of your scheduled exercise, incorporate 15 minutes of additional movement into your day (vaccum the floor, walk up the stairs at work, walk on your lunch break, walk to the corner store instead of driving, walk at the mall (if you have one), clean house, stretch, dance in the living room - etc.) They say "small changes" add up, right? I hope everyone likes this challenge - have a good week.

porterbaby38

great challenge jlbay.

savvystephy

Nice challenge jlbay! That is definitely something to try to incorporate in this week! Cleaning has already been on my list (and laundry) so that'll add some movement to my day. :laugh:

sjmay

Great challenge! I really like the fact that it is to do something other than exercise b/c it would be easy to just add 15 mins onto that. This is something that I am really going to have to pay attention to, but I think it will be great - hopefully it will make me change enough that I will continue even after this week.
