Hello ladies! I'd love to jump in and join you all. My name is Rachell. Here are my current stats.
SW: 192.0
CW: 176.8 (as of 2/1)
GW: 155
Non-scale victories I would like to experience before June 21, 2013
1. Be able to run a mile in 9.5 mins
2. Strengthen my core. Hold a plank for at least 1 min.
3. Stay active in this challenge and meet my above goals, both scale and non scale.
These goal will be challenging for me because my wonderful husband will be home Friday after being overseas for a year. Although he's not going to discourage me in any way, I find that I tend to get lazy and just hang out with him and the kids. I would really like to make it happen because we have vacation plans that I want to be in great shape for.
Good luck to you all.
So a quick update. I've been doing pretty good. Kind of went crazy with candy and sweets at the beginning of the month, but I've let them go again. Back to working out every day. I'm off work for 6 weeks so my mini goal is to kick it up a notch and work out more than normal and see how far I progress in these 6 weeks.
Current weight as of 2/18: 174.4. Down 2.4 lbs.0 -

Good morning ladies! Sorry I've been away for a while. I've been working hard at work, and after work trying to pull a portfolio together.
I see we've had some new members: Akiss4u2tam, MzSharp79, Raesin70, Gottadancekp, Onmyway227, Solazul, and Aliciagolden3. Welcome ladies! I'm so glad that you've joined us for this challenge! I hope that you are successful in achieving the best health in this challenge! :flowerforyou:0 -
You ladies are doing a great job! Like a few others, I am a very slow loser, having lost nothing last week - but that's fine because I didn't gain either!
Don't feel too stressed about the Feb. 21 weigh in, that's just a guide post. If you don't have any numeric goals for that weigh in, that's just fine! This is a no stress challenge!0 -
Thanks for this Yana! I'd love to join in. I want to be in shape to tear it up hiking and backpacking this summer!

Welcome!! That's why we are all here to support one another. We all have our good days and bad ones, but we can't give up!
I am in the same boat as you, because I want to be successful with this finally. My girlfriend put me on to this site and the ladies here have been a great help. A good support system can take us a long way. So let's do it!!!

Have you considered mixing up your workouts perhaps HIIT training? Will definitely confuse your metabolism and you are left with a great after burn..0 -
Thank you for the words of encouragement.:flowerforyou: I will make some changes and see what happens. Not giving up!

Hi ladies! I weighed in yesterday and the scale didn't move one way or the other. :ohwell: However, I did join a "Biggest Loser" challenge at work and I did 45 minutes of Zumba today at the gym! Yay meeeee!!!
Keep up the good work ladies!0 -

Keep up the good work ladies!
Although we typically want the scale to move in our favor, maintaining is always a plus. Good job on not going in the other direction! Keep it up!0 -
I hope I can stick to this

I'm sure A LOT of us have been unsuccessful at weight loss, that's why we're all here. Be encouraged, you can do anything you put your mind to. Send out a few friend requests; I can tell you, seeing their progress in your news feed (i.e. how many calories they burned, how many days they've logged in in a row, how many pounds lost) is all the incentive you will need. It makes you want to keep up with everyone else.
Best wishes to you on your weight loss goals. I'm sure you will do great!0 -
Sorry, I forgot to log in my progress yesturday. Last week I acheived a few non scale goals. I met my calorie loss goal (actually went over it) and logged in my food all of last week. I beleive as long as I achieve my non scale goals like logging inot this forum, I can reach my goal weight loss of 37 lbs by June 21st. Since I'm trying to gain muscule and loss fat at the same time, the weight reflecting on the scale will fluctuate.0
