    How is everyone doing on the challenge? I tried to take a study break every 1/2 hour or so and do laundry, dishes, walk up and down the stairs, etc. Actually, I think it helped me to clear my mind and get the blood flowing - helped me concentrate on my studies, that is.

    I feel that I am doing very good on the challenge. The day before yesterday, I made an effort to go get things or take things around the office whenever I could, instead of letting them pile up and yesterday while I was waiting for a prescription to be filled I spent the 20 mins walking around the grocery store instead of sitting and waiting...

    Hope everyone's having a great week!

    sounds like an awesome challenge, its halfway thru the week but I will definately try it!
    First I need to get back into my regular routine which has been hard to follow this week. But today I must!

    BIKINI BABES? CAN YOU TELL ME MORE? IS IT TOO LATE TO JOIN? SHOULD WE SEARCH FOR A BIKINI BABES 2 GROUP??

    I'm pretty sure you ladies can just join right up with us :)


    As far as the challenge... I have two kiddos under 5, I teach preschool; class of 10 3 year olds, I also work with an after school program on Mondays (around 50 kiddos under 6th grade), and I teach a night class at church on Wednesday nights for kiddos 7th grade and under... and when I say teach, that involves games, games, more games :)... lots of movement... Needless to say, I get in LOTS of extra movement throughout the day in addition to my workout routines... I LOVE this challenge though... Keeps us mindful that moving is key!! To get off our butts as much as we can and MOVE!!

    Welcome stacyoct19 and mrsgiffin! Of course you can join us, the more the merrier. The rundown of our group - we weigh in every Saturday and post our results. On Sunday I figure out everyone's weight loss % and whoever has the highest loss gets to make a challenge for the rest of the group for the week. We use the group for support, guidance, strength, friendship, etc.

    Hope to hear from you!

    kandyjo - after reading your post I feel like I spend way too much time sitting on my keister :laugh: You are one busy girl!!!!

    Today I again spent time and a drug store at lunch, lol. I went to drop off some mail and pick up a lean cuisine and made sure I walked through several aisles first instead of heading for straight where I needed to go. I also, again, made sure to move around the office more than normal. Including sending papers to a printer in another room instead of using the one that sits on my desk. I know that it's not much, but I do feel like I am moving a lot more than I usually am, so I am happy with that :smooched:

    Hey bikini babes!
    I didn't get my workout in last night but I moved around from when I got home after 5 to almost 8 doing laundry, vacuuming, sweeping, folding, washing the bathroom, tub, sink, fixing drawers, moving furniture, etc.
    So I think I burned some calories there. I finally set up my HRM last night and I'm excited to try it out tonight and see how much cals I burn.

    Have a great day everyone!

  • Happy New Year Bikini Babes! With 2010 upon us, I was thinking that the best way to start the year would be to share any goals that you may have for the upcoming months.

    For myself, I want to be a much happier and healthier person. I want to (and must!) achieve my weigh loss goal and I am going to do everything in my power to keep myself motivated and working hard to achieve it!

    Anyone else have any goals they would like to achieve?

    P.S. We're back on track this week ladies - so get ready for Saturday's weigh in!


    Hello everyone. I am 200lbs, 5'5, and 15 yrsold! I know that some of u might say that this site is not healthy for me and that im still growing but plz i need to lose weight. I am very scared of the health cosequences of being unhealthy for too long. I would appreciate if any of u have any tips. I am committed to doing anything as long as it works. Btw in my school we have to run a mile in gym class and that is such a prob for me. So i do a 1/4 of a mile everyday and my goal is to get to a point where i can do it w/o feeling like im too tired or extremely out of breath. Then when i have fnally achieved his i will keep on going up by a quarter until can do a mile in aorund 10 mins or lower. Plz help. Thank u

    I think it is wonderful that you are getting serious about getting healthy now!!! I have a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old and I teach them about eating right and exercising.... That is what is wonderful about this website... YOu will get encouragement and it will help you figure out how many calories you need to be consuming at your age and activity level... BE SURE TO EAT YOUR CALORIES!! Do NOT starve yourself. That will actually cause your metabolism to slow down... YOu can do it!!! Hang in there!!

    Saturday, January 23rd Weigh In

    Starting Weight: 193
    Bikini Babe Start: 179
    Last Weigh in: 167
    This Week: 169

    This week: +2
    Bikini Babe total: -12

    Due to the TOM and having a couple days off of calorie counting. I am going to say high sodium diet the last couple days too. So, I am back on track today. Next week should be better.

    I agree with Kandy! So long as you are healthy about it and eat your calories, then by all means try to lose the weight now while you're young. :smile:

    I weighed 215 when I was 15 and lost about 30 pounds the wrong way (Atkins diet, it worked but just temporarily).. and gained it back. But it's great that you're trying to lose weight while you're younger! Just make sure you eat healthy and exercise to lose weight. You can do it! We're all here to help. :smile:
  • thank u blondie925 for all the support. I have midterms this week so am going to still count y calories but i think i will probably have a slip up here and ther b/c of the pressure. But nyways im still commited to excercising everyday cause i know if i skip i will lose my momentum. Thanks once again though <3
  • @ Stephanie: Wow this i soo cool that u have lost this much weight. I just get excited thinking bout how much better i would look with 26lb less fat oon my body. I know its not all about looking better but hey if u can get healthy AND look better; why not? :)

    Welcome summerwalls! Good luck on your journey!

    The results for this week:

    Blondie925 - 0.20%
    Hailey - 0.44%
    kandyjo - 0.95%
    porterbaby38 - 0.33,%
    sjmay - 1.27%

    Congratulations, another great job this week everyone! I guess I lost the most this week. So, I am going to go back to the beginning and copy an old challenge. WATER - drink at least 8 glasses a day. I know that this is something that can easily be forgotten, so hopefully everyone will get back into it as it is so important.

    Good luck this week ladies! :drinker:
