Sixers Valentine Vixens: Week 1

Hello to all the newbies!!!

So I am thinking about doing something,

I did a cleanse awhile back, loved it. Well since I am sick and don't feel up to working out too much thinking about doing a cleanse, but will that make me sicker? Anyone know? Or should I try and push though the sickness and work out... ???

You should wait until you're healthy again. Cleanses are hard on the body most times and you really need to have you immune system up and running as well as it can. What type of cleanse were you considering?

I did the Mega Cleanse last time, in retro spec that cleanse was really crazy. I am thinking about doing Isagenix now, a friend who is a health nut did it and loved it. Plus it allows for snacking.

amy- boo to losing the work out room! Yay to the new floor, and yay to maintaining!

So I know I am totally blowing up the topic today, but I just redid my measurements and I was soo excited to realize that even though I am up this week from a month ago (last time I weighed in cuz I was in Florida/didnt have access to a scale) I have lost 3 inches in my hips and an inch in my neck! yay! (from being so active in florida I think)
Also totally just wrote my first blog post ever lol

Well Girls,

Another day of rain rain rain here in california. So I did my walking dvd too. 4 miles of walking as well as the shred. I must pat myself on the back. I am going to indulge in a glass of wine after my shower then I am going to beat the pants off of Tony bowling on Wii. Last week I bowled a 247 and now my brother and Tony are trying to beat my score. LOL!!! Earlier today I beat Tony at 6 games of yahtzee. He not a very good loser, so I love it when I can beat his butt. Believe me it dosen't happen to often. But it seems like lately I have been doing a pretty good job.

2bskinnyagain1978 sw 187cw186 gw 135 ..

Hi 2bskinnyagain - I added your info to the list. The GW should be your goal for this 6 week challenge (ex - 5 or 10 lbs). The SW is your starting weight at the beginning of the challenge (which should be your weight today). You can copy the list and repost with any changes you want to make or to add your GW for the challenge (which I just filled with xxx). Welcome to the challenge.

Ok - I fizzled out on the last challenge. :frown: I'm having a really hard time getting the sugar out of my diet. Of course, I'm paying for it now since I'm tired and hungry all the time. This is why I stopped eating sugar and simple carbs 2 years ago. I've gotten really off track the last couple months. Does anyone have any tips for the sugar cravings/withdrawl?? The last time I quit sugar it was summer so I ate melons when I got a craving but that won't work in the winter. Any ideas?? On the up side - my DH got me a shiny fancy new treadmill for my birthday. It is so nice and quiet compared to the old one...and yes, I've been walking on it!! Have a great week!!

Sugar free jello helps. And flavored carbonated water (like the kind they sell at Wal-Mart for about .70 -- I love the key lime) - or even a really refreshing diet soda, like a diet Sunkist or diet 7-up. Oh, and dried plums (aka prunes) -- Sunsweet "Ones" are individually wrapped dried plums and they are so sweet and delicious. Most days I enjoy 2 of them as something sweet after breakfast or lunch, but I'm scared to eat more than two, because no matter how many times I call them dried plums, they are prunes and they have a reputation.

I also have found lately that I kinda went off naturally for the most part by just putting more fresh fruits and veggies in my diet. I was eating a couple of mini candy bars a day (and counting them, they're easy to work in), but when I'm full of healthy food, I don't really feel like snacking on candy.

I hope this helps. I'm normally a cold-turkey person on just about everything, but I don't do well emotionally to drop all sweets and refined carbs. If you're having a rough time, maybe just try to cut back a little each day.

Good morning ladies. Job interview day. I am nervous but confident at the same time.

I did NOT do 30 day shred yesterday but I WILL do it today.

I cant really help on the sugar thing. I am not a big sugar craver except for that time of the month. I just allow myself the indulgence since it is 1 time per month.

Have a great day ladies. I need to go iron my interview outfit and straighten my hair.

Good Luck Today Amy!!!! You will do great. Please let us know how the interview goes.:flowerforyou:

Kel

Glad to see everyone is doing well. Keep up the great work!!! YAY!!!!

Good luck Amy! I know it will go well for you! Keep smiling!

B- good job on planning for your future.

ttyl,
Tamm

Alison - Thanks....I didn't even think of SF jello - there is a ton of it in the bottom of the pantry. I've been off soda for a year now - but if nothing else works, I will try some 'diet clear stuff'. I've been cutting back a little each day - but I feel so horrible I just want to do it cold turkey. I'm heading out in search of some good looking fruit. Glad to hear C25K is easier this time. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. I'll stick with walking for awhile.

Pam - I love those walk away the pounds dvds. Way to go making the workout harder with weights.

Amy - Good luck on the interview.

PrimalB - Welcome to the challenge.

B- Thanks for the frozen fruit tip. I'm glad you're having a better day.

Shred Report Day 4 Level 2 = 14 days of shredding. It was a bit easier today. I also did my 4 mile walking dvd again. It has been terrible weather here since Sunday. The rain is not even suppose to stop until the weekend. then possibly start all over again. So until I can get out there and work again, I need to double up on the workouts. I do know I will be busy after it quits, as there are so much debris that has falling from the trees and bushes.

Hope Everyone is having a great day!!!

Kel

Welcome to the Newbies

Updating the list. Lorna's info was posted on the other thread that was started yesterday. Also added PrimalB's info.

Thanks Emmie. I thought I was out there all alone :sad: Glad to know I was just misplaced.

Bad, bad, bad eating. What is wrong with me? Well, I know the answer to that, but I can't keep using my impending TOM and massive cramps on bad eating. So today is a new day (even with massive cramps). I have been getting my exercise in though, so I guess I'm maintaining. Time to lose!!!

You all sound so motivated ! im glad i found the sixers!
I posted my goal weight as 259 because I HAVENT been that since the first 2-3 weeks of my pregnancy with my son... and he is almost 18 months old ! so that number will feel AWESOME !

Ive been doing 30 mins on the WII daily.... as well as twice a week i do SLIMIN6 ..... for toning... and then 3-4 times a week i do Yoga Booty Ballet!! for cardio!

Wheres everyone from?!?!? I live in the BAhamas.... !!!!!! Lived here my entire life....
Im tired of being over 200 .... I gained the first 75 lbs due to an allergic reaction to bc pills a few years back right before my 19th birthday and my WEDDING ! GRRRRRR ! ...... the rest of it came from eating poorly, getting out of my exercise routine, feeling sorry for myself, (grrrr hehe), and a miscarriage and a pregnancy with my son ! all in 4 years... !!!! SO IM MAKING A CHANGE NOW ! to get back to my old self ! I will be 23 in May this year ... and I want to be lost roughly.... 10 lbs each month until then! and keep on going.... !

Enough about me though ! .... cant wait to get to know each and every one of you !
Good luck !
