    Hey ladies I am down a total of 5 lbs !!



    So, I know this is the start of a new week and I need to work out my goals, and evaluate last weeks, so here goes, I still need to work on taking the vitamins and I only got on my Bowflex twice last week. I have to space out my run/walk intervals and not do the run/walk the same day I do my strength training, I was beat for the rest of the week, and I have to get enough sleep !

    Week of Feb 10th NSV:

    1. GET ENOUGH SLEEP.
    2. Continue to work on taking my daily vitamin.
    3. 3 days strength training on Bowflex
    4. Aim for 2 days of 5K training Week 1


    So my focus for this week is to KISS it out ! Strengthen Training and 5K Training, I'm not gonna mix and match videos, gonna see if I get different results.

    This week my goals are to:

    1) Walk 4 more days this week
    2) Cook all of my meals
    3) Stretch after each strength training session
    4) Watch less TV at night and go to bed earlier

    Nette - I'm not training for a 5k yet because I have to strengthen my knee before I can run on it. I am going t check out that C25k program, though. Thank you!!

    Hey ladies!

    Back from weekend celebrations and as of this afternoon 7lbs heavier. :sad:
    I know what the heck right... it's my own fault, I went carb crazy past 2 days but I stupidly thought get it out my system now and continue to success on my return not realising so much damage could be done in such a short time. I'm still ok about it and think by morning I will be about 2lbs lighter as I am still seriously bloated. I know part of it is water weight and a carb shock to my system so I will be doing a fat fast again for 3 days with as much exercise as I can muster to burn off the extra glycogen stores and fingers crossed i'll be back to a fat burning machine by the weekend latest.

    So my goals for the rest of the month are:

    1) Exercise at least 5x a week strength & cardio.
    2) Drink 8 cups of water min per day
    3) Take all daily vitamins and blood pressure tablets
    4) 210lbs by 28th February - reach this and I get a non food related treat. :smile:

    Here is to another week of getting it done ladies.
    We got this!!:bigsmile:

    just joined today and think this is a fabulous way to keep myself motivated as its currently snowing in Hertfordshire UK making me feel like staying at home and eating warm bad food. I just brought an exercise bike so its perfect timing i joined and i want to continue to build on my weight loss and offer encouragement where i can and also receive encouragement when i feel wobbly.

    2) increase my water intake to at least 8 cups a day
    3) To keep tracking my calories

    Oh yeah, another NSV for me would be to be able to wear my suit from 2 years ago by Easter Sunday morning. I'll be sure to keep you guys posted on that.

    GW: 160

    01/21 weight: 184
    01/28 weight: 181.6
    02/04 weight: 179.8
    02/11 weight: 179.8

    No loss today, but I was down to 177 on Friday. The body is a very tricky machine (too much sodium over the weekend I guess).

    NSV:
    Week 3 of Insanity completed! Having some issues with shin but will attempt moving on to week 4. I've been doing pretty well getting up in the morning to face Shaun T. Eating clean can be a challenge but not impossible.

    Weight loss for the week = 0
    Total loss = - 5

    I love the challenge, I want to go to the beach this summer...have not been in a long time because I do not like my size. I want to feel good and take some pictures this time. Starting today, this challenge will give me approximately 4 1/2 months til summer and I will go in July. To achieve the GW, I will need to lose about 11+ lbs per month.

    SW: 251.7
    CW: 251.7
    GW: 199

    My goals are to:
    1) Do the right thing as far as food choices go. Stop myself when I am headed in the wrong direction.
    2) Do not mess up and then hide from the scale so that I do not have to face the music.
    3) Workout for 60 minutes a day no matter what.
    4) Track my food!!

    I can do it, I have done great before with motivation and support. Let's do this sista's!

    3. Start jogging (Ugh!!! :frown: )
