    Alright Weight loss army! I'm a little miffed with you, barely anyone has let the group know how they are doing with the challenges! I think we should use a revised format when weighing in. Let me know what you think.
    LW -
    CW -
    Water -
    Exercise -
    Fruits/Veg -

    Great idea! I am one to not update all the info so this will be great and maybe more of a motivator to get the challenges met since we'll have to "show" our progress.

    You're doing a great job keeping us in line, thanks Sarge!! :wink:

    I'm glad you guys like the new format idea.

    Don't worry about writing it everyday, just keep track and log it on Monday's with your weigh-in.

    I have an interesting challenge coming up for next week, stay tuned!!

    Just wanted to poke my head and say that I'm still here. Last week I had the flu so I drank TONS of fluids I know I passed the challenge for that but of course did no exercising. I am leaving tomorrow to go on a vacation for a week and there are no scales at my aunt's house but I did bring my running gear AND a set of hand weights. I am so excited for the new format makes me stY accountable for all my servings of fruits and veggies. Hopefully with all this exercise this week I'll spend more time outdoors than indoors pigging out on food and when I come back I'm tons lighter

    today i will be starting my regular walking routine...meaning i haven't been on my regular walking route for quite awhile...PLUS it's a cheat day for me...so the weekends are cheat days...my walking routine is so close to starbucks and i haven't had starbucks since they had that special going on for the week or weekend of half price frapps...i sorta kinda wish there were coupons or a punch card for those...lol...buy so many and get one free after the punch card is filled...lol...i'll be smart and still check out the calorie intake of course by going online and see if they have a nutrition value and mark that down...even though its the weekend i'm still measuring my food and checking out the calorie intake

    Hey Everyone,

    Definitely not my best week. Some things were great and some not so great.

    LW -216.6

    CW - same weight no loss/ gain. TOM came this week so I'm gonna say that was the reason for no loss 8)

    Water - avg. 8.5 glasses a day. Way low!! I usually get 10+ daily

    Exercise - 678 minutes burning 4819 calories. This was a great week. We finally got some sunshine and I took advantage.

    Fruits/Veg - avg 7 servings of fruit/veg per day.

    Hope everyone had a great week and saw some fantastic numbers!!

    Hello Jenn and all the army! Its been a brilliant weekend, saw loads of fab acts at the Isle of Wight Festival, Pink was amazing and Paul McCartney headlined last night and they were both FANTASTIC!!!!! so I was very pleased this morning that I have lost yet another pound and now at 128 pounds :laugh:


    start weight (and heaviest weight) with MFP on 1/12/10 ....164.5 pounds
    Last weeks weight ......................................................................129 .pounds
    current weight ..............................................................................128 ..pounds
    final goal .......................................................................................126 ..pounds


    Jenn my puppy is a cocker spaniel and he is called Barty would you believe!!! (Barty used to be a nick name for my husband and the puppy looks sooooo much like him with his sad eyes and all :bigsmile: He He He!!!! ).

    As for the challenges.......well did not do well with the water challenge as the loos at the festival were grim to say the least so did not want to go too often (bad excuse I know).
    Not so bad with the Fruit and Veg
    Exercise....Did 3 hours of Zumba and lots of walking over the weekend

    Hello Army!

    Happy to report a loss even if it's one pound! I could do better if I could get my fanny exercising more. Anyway, the score for this week is:
    LW - 150.6
    CW - 149.6
    Water - avg 7/day, I don't drink enough on the weekends-gotta change that.
    Exercise - only got 187 min in this week. Lazy week of TOM, I find it very hard to get motivated.
    Fruits/Veg - only 17 servings for the whole week compared to the goal min of 42! I am super bad at these and will strive to eat more.

    Best of luck to all this week on their healthy journey!

    Arghhhhhh, had a bad weekend!

    LW - 177
    CW - 177
    Water - about 10 a day!
    Exercise - 200 this week aiming for more next week! Got my WATP DVDs and I truly love them.
    Fruits/Veg - about 20 servings aiming for more, I am also going bread free for this week, and eating extra veggies in place of that so we will see how that goes!!

    blondie76 – Well hopefully the new format will help you remember, haha. Nice job on the water this week! What’s WATP? Sounds exciting? Bread free for a week? Good luck! I don’t know if I could do that, I love my sandwiches so much.
    enromero – Looks like you have been doing excellent on water and exercise, time to jump on the fruit and vegetable train! I know you can! I’m going to get a big head soon, first metfanlisa calls me Sarge and now you’re telling people I’m “the one in charge”, heehee. Thanks so much for welcoming the new recruits!
    melbhall – For serving size I just the Canadian Food guide. It gives the serving size in proper measurement and then in a real life example like the size of a tennis ball for an apple.
    metfanlisa – I think you’re my favourite now, haha, you can call me Sarge anytime! Ok, ok, off my high horse I go. I’m glad that you’re excited about the new format. A loss is a loss, some weeks I’m praying for 1 pound to be gone, haha. I’m sure you’ll step it up this week!
    kizzym – I think that using the ole measuring cups/spoons is the most important part in watching what you are eating. I know it was a shocker for me at first to see how “kind” my eyes were when it came to portion sizes.
    jodieunited – It’s never too late to join us to get healthy! I see you’ve already been welcomed but I wanted to say a quick hello. It looks like the group will be a perfect fit with you seeing that you already weigh-in on Mondays!
    healthyeater9 – I sure hope that you’re feeling better, I hate being sick. Just so you know, you won’t be on the graph without the Monday weigh-in but I still have all of your previous info so when you get back I’ll add you back to the graph. Have a great vacay!!
    sweet148angel – Look at you go!! My goodness it’s nice to see that jump! Let’s up your water and vegetables and keep the pounds dropping!
    aprilchampalmer – Great job! Once again, so happy to have you back! Oh I love dancing!
    allislefttogain – We miss ya last week. I cannot believe how close you are! It’s good that you are taking it easy. An injury is the worst and the sooner it heals the sooner you can kick that ball around!
    melbhall – MMMmmm, granny’s sweets are the best! I think no gain after a visit to granny’s is a huge accomplishment! Get drinking your water missy! Heehee.
    bowbee – Wow, you are rocking the challenges! Great job chickie! I know that your water is usually higher but getting in 8.5 a day isn’t anything to turn your nose down to.
    barty – Business first, nice job on the loss, you are so very close! So exciting! Great work on the challenges! Time to step up your water, well, only if you have somewhere sanitary to relieve yourself, haha. On to the fun! The show sounds wonderful! Aww, I love that your puppy has the same name as your MFP login. Cocker spaniels are so cute! You make me laugh so hard with the little husband comments, to funny!


    My turn, well I’m very happy with my loss this week. I think the strength training I’ve been doing has really been paying off. A few wonderful celebrations for me, I measured myself the other day and in 6 weeks I’m down 5 inches! Since I started working out (a year ago), I’m down 22 inches! Very happy.

    LW – 198.8
    CW – 196.7
    Water – average 11 glasses a day
    Exercise – 230 minutes this week, I’d like that to be at 300
    Fruits/Veg – average of 6 servings a day! I’m pretty happy with that.


    So a new challenge idea was suggested to me and I think it’s a really great idea. I want everyone to tell the group 5 reason why they are doing this. Some people made their profiles or goals a really long time ago and I figure this might be a great idea to help refocus everyone. Let’s keep up with our exercise, water and fruits/veggies challenges and add this fun one to the mix. Good luck, graph will be posted tomorrow!

    Oh!!! I'm sooo jealous! JK !!
    P!NK is my absolute favorite and I wasn't able to see her most recent concert when it was in Seattle last fall!! I did buy the concert from Australia on DVD though...I guess that's better than nothing 8(. I'm glad you had fun!

    I like this challenge. Definitely will make me focus my honest feelings about my wants and needs for this weight loss/great health journey I'm on. May possibly be an ah-ha moment! 8 )

    Arg, still having a tough time with motivation! Did great during the week with eating but had friends in from out of town and with that out went the good eating habits! So, a gain this week... (which is hopefully mostly water?!)

    LW - 134.2
    CW - 135.8
    Water - Mostly 8 or 9 glasses a day, one or two days only 6
    Exercise - Pretty poor, about 2 hours of walking for the entire week and a shift at the post office that had me lifting and moving a lot of big parcels.
    Fruits/Veg - Didn't keep track that well but definitely between 4 and 7 servings a day.

    As for this week's challenge: My top 5

    1. To look good in clothes. I hate spending 1/2 hour deciding what to wear before going out (and still not feeling great about my choice), I want to look good in all of my clothes! To feel hot in just a tshirt and jeans if that's what I feel like wearing!
    2. To get to my goal weight before my husband and I start trying for kids.
    3. To stop comparing myself to other women.
    4. To be comfortable in a bathing suit and not look back at vacation pictures thinking, "Why couldn't I just get the motivation to lose some weight before we left!"
    5. To get to a point where everything feels balanced... Food, weight, exercise...

    Ah, the list could probably continue for a long time! Hope everyone has had a great week and that the one ahead is even better!

    just a quick check in for me for the graph for now I promise I will catch up with everyone 2moro!! Im down 1 lb this week to 207! Im super excited about this one lb cause I am pretty sure I broke a small bone in the bottem of my foot so it was like NO exercise since last monday!! I broke this same bone in high school thats why Im sure thats what it is, however my xray was normal (not a surprise to me it was back then also....it took a bone scan last time to find it) and my blood test was neg for gout (pretty sure thats not what it is cause they thought that last time) so now Im on crutches and I hate that lol.
