Great job Phyljen! Way to stay strong and pass on the gooey marshmallow brownies, that takes a LOT of will power! I like popcorn also and its not that bad if it didn't have butter on it! Good for you.
The ancient Egypt talk does sound very interesting. I have always wanted to go to Egypt for vacation. One of the most fascinating places IMO. Thanks for sharing.0 -
Good morning everyone! How is your week going? It is really hard to believe the end of the month is on Sunday! Are you going to reach your goal this month. I am not going to make it unless I can lose 4 pounds by Sunday. This was a hard month for me. I really did not feel well for the first few weeks of the month. Thankfully I did not gain but sadly I did not lose either. I am changing my exercise goals for the rest of this month and next month. To push me towards my goal.
Exercise Goal #1
Work-out at least 2 hours per day, 6 days a week.
Goal #2
Burn 1000 calories or more a day through exercise
Goal #3
Strength train 2-3 times per week.
Eating goal 1 fruit with every meal, 1 vegetable with every meal or snack.
Remember we weigh in on Friday for our weekly weigh-in and then again on Monday for our start of the month weight. Best of luck to everyone who is still with us on this challenge.:drinker:0 -
I have also been having a hard month - lack of sleep has meant less exercise and weight loss... I will not make the 5 pound goal this month, but next one will be here soon.0

Lack of sleep always does me in. It makes it hard to not snack during the day trying to find the energy to make it through the day. I can still get in my workouts, but I really have to just get on the bike or treadmill and go for a few minutes and then I somehow find the energy to push through and get a great workout! But that has taken me almost a year to find the drive to workout even when tired!
Last weigh in of the month is tomorrow! Are you drinking enough water? Logging all your food eaten? Getting a great workout?
I am excited about tomorrows weigh- in because this is the first weigh-in that I have worked out 2 hours a day (though I missed last Friday and Saturday's workout). I am felling great so I can't wait!
Make it a great day!0 -
I'm updating a day early, can't wait :laugh:
January starting weight: 154
February 1 weight: 148
February 12 weight: 146
February 19 weight: 149
February 25 weight: 145.5
Last week was kind of bogus (read: friggin 3lb weight gain?? :noway: I think it was bloat.) but I recovered. I missed this month's goal by 2.5 lbs but that means that I LOST 2.5 lbs, wooooo hooooooo!! People are starting to tell me how skinny I look :blushing:
April 1 Goal: 1400 -

Way to go! What are the Bootcamp workouts like? In my mind they sound like 30 day Shred which is pretty intense! Hope your workout goes well!0 -
Friday February 5 weight 179
Friday February 12 weight 178.4
Friday February 19 weight 177.4
Friday February 26 weight 177
.4 pounds:frown: but it is still moving in the right direction, and I will take that. I was stuck in the mid 180's for months due to my lack of motivation but I am not going to do get stuck in the 170's. I will keep working out and eating healthy. This is my new lifestyle, not a diet but a way of life! Hope everyone has a great Friday!0 -

I forgot to add that it was only .4 pounds this week, but I snuck in a quick measurement this morning and the waist is down an inch and each thigh is down almost an inch this month:happy: :happy:0 -
Hi pals,
I was excited to weigh in because I was sure I had lost a couple pounds, well I did lose one so that was good.That means I met the goal of 5 pounds in a month. `i have not measured but will on Monday. I feel my clothes are looser so I am sure I have lost inches too. Yippee!
so here goes for my weigh in:
Starting weight in Jan: 159
Feb. 1 - 156
Feb. 5 - 154
Feb. 12- 153
Feb. 19- 152
Feb. 27- 151
Goal by end of March: 146. or LOWER!
Phyljen Good luck everyone.0 -
It was a good month overall. I was a little frustrated when I only lost .4 for this week, but when I look back at the month as a whole, it was a successful month.
Feb. 1= 208.6
Feb. 12= 206.8
Feb. 18= 202
Feb. 26= 201.40 -

TCASMEY-
.4 is great, slow but steady will lose the weight! Great job on the lost inches! Inches lost is a wonderful feeling. Keep it up!
Phyljen-
You are doing fantastic! So close to under 150! Great job on making the 5 lbs this mth.
Erinm-
.4 is better than .3 :happy: I would say you had a VERY successful mth, 7.2 lbs wow! Keep up the good work.
I will weigh in after my lunch break. I have been up and down sticking around the 150's so I would love to have the scale stay under this week. Friday I was back up, but by Monday I was back to the week before weight. Just hope to see a new, lower number today. I'll check back in once I weigh in.
Good luck everyone and happy Friday!0 -
Okay here is my weigh in:
01/2/10 171.0
01/9/10 168.8
01/16/10 165.8
01/23/10 167.0
01/29/10 168.8
02/06/10 165.8
02/14/10 162.6
02/20/10 163.4
02/26/10 163.4
I may have gone up last week, but at least I did not gain this week. At least I am still under 165, that is huge for me. I do normally weigh myself Saturday and Sunday morning as well and normally by Sunday I am down a little more. I don't weigh every day of the week because I know how frustrating that can be. Just over the weekends.
Everyone is doing great, keep up the good work and have a beautiful weekend. :bigsmile:0 -

2/1: 153
2/5: 151
2/12: 149
2/19: 150 (Monday 2/22: 148 I think that gain was mostly sodium making me hold onto water)
2/26: 146.5
:bigsmile:
1 and 1/2 lbs!
Oh Ya, oh ya, oh ya ya ya! (what my daughter says when she is happy, lol)
I made the 5 lbs! Now if I can only be good this weekend... 0 -

That is great. Keep up the awesome work. You can definitely make it through the weekend. Just remember why you are doing this. Have a great weekend. :bigsmile:0 -
OMG angelwings, we have the same body! But I have put a few more years on mine. Lots of luck on the loss. I'm rooting for you.0

Thank you ladies! I am so happy, if I keep this up I'll hit 145 next week. I heard that as you get close to your goal it just gets harder and harder to lose. :ohwell: But I am ready for it!
BTW I started using Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga and LOVE it! I can feel my abs getting stronger and it is something I can do late at night after my monsters go to bed! If you need a new DVD you should try it!

Way to go reaching your goal! I was thinking about trying the Biggest Lose Sculp dvd. Anyone ever do this workout?
Have a great Night!0 -
HI PALS,
I WANT TO WELCOME JABeller, K-Garcia-06 and Sandy!!!! This group ROCKS! Good luck this coming week with your goals.
Terri_ Way to go this week and thanks for all the encouraging comments to everyone. You are one Awesome lady.
Jenn_ As always you are such an inspiration. Wonderful to hear that you lost1 and a half pounds. YIPPEE. You Rule!!!
I pushed myself this morning (Saturday) on my run.( jog) instead of the 60 minutes I kept going and going and made it 100 minutes of jogging without stopping. I fell great. I came home and have been drinking water like it is going out of style. Already have downed 9 cups! I won't say how many times I have been in the little ladies room!!! I took a long relaxing soak in my mini jet tub and it was like being in heaven for an hour. I am ready to the day. Love Saturdays... but gotta do some planning for the coming week at school and writing a few report cards would be a good idea too.
Looking forward to the Weigh in on Monday. Cheers Phyljen0 -
