Last 10lbs Group - March Challenges

Hi all!!
Still sick. I've been since since saturday. I logged my food (what I did eat) for yesterday and I was short about 800 calories. I'm now drinking Gatorade and eating crackers and the occasional banana. I'm a mess! I hoped on the scale because I know I've lost and I know it's not good! I've lost 3lbs (checked the scale yesterday) since my weigh in on Thursday. I'm giving it one more day and if I continue to feel this way I will be seeing a doctor. I have NEVER been this sick and especially for this long.
Here to all the losers so far this week :drinker:
Sorry you're sick!! I hope you feel better. :flowerforyou:0 -
Morning all!!
I'm slowly starting to feel better. Not 100% yet but getting there!
How is everyone doing with the water challenge? I personally haven't been well enough to keep track of what I'm actually drinking.
How is everyone's personal exercise challenges going? I haven't been able to do my routine at home since last week...hoping to get back on that wagon soon!
Hope everyone is well!!0 -
Okay, I've got to tell everyone about my new challenge. I've not really replied much to the water and exercise challenges because I really don't have problems with either of those. But I found out about the situps challenge from another thread I'm on, and I did the initial test last night. I'm excited to see my progress as my mid section needs some work! For anyone else interested in doing this with me, here's the link:

I definetly have issues with sit ups. I'm suppose to do it as part of my routine but I don't have a strong core just yet. I will check out the website when I get home! Good one :happy:0 -
Glad you are feeling better!
Been working out - did a new workout last night since weather wouldn't allow me to get to the gym to run...did P90X Cardio Intervals - pretty good workout.
Today is supposed to be 5 or 6 mile run-have 9 inches of snow-so not so sure how that will work-I may be doing the 30 day shred so that I get some strengh in and I'll run tomorrow. i'll see how the roads are a little later.0 -

Looked at the site tonight. Gonna try to initial tomorrow and give it a shot. Thanks for the idea!0 -
Today is weigh in day for most of us...I'll be back later to check on posts!!
Down 2lbs (probably from being sick) and I'm sitting at 136lbs. 6 more to go!!!!!!!!0 -
Weigh in day for me.....no change...still stuck at 135. I think I need to change up my workout routine next week to shake things up so I can get these last 7 pounds off!0
-
Ugh! I'm only down .2 lbs since last week. I was really hoping for more since I have been SO good with my eating and exercise. But I guess this is what I get for having my calories set to lose only .5 lbs/week. I also took my measurements. I figure that the scale might be moving slowly, but I need to start keeping track of other things. I know that my clothes are fitting better, so change is happening.0

Morning All,
I weighed this morning and had to resign myself to the fact that I actually gained this week.....can't blame it on TOM anymore. :frown: So I am up to 156.2 from 155.0 two weeks ago. I changed my ticker to reflect the gain also. :sad:
Hopefully next week I will be back to 155 or lower.....

I started the situps and pushups challenges last night. I actually skipped to week 3 on the situps challenge because of the results of my initial test (that's what the program told me to do) and did day 1 last night. It was tougher than I thought to do 5 sets of situps. Since I have NO upper body strength, I got to start with week 1 (column 1) for the pushups challenge. I actually did 4 pushups on the last set...not much, I know, but for me, that's great!! I'll let you know how the challenges progress. It is set up to do the challenge 3 times a week, so I'll do it tonight and tomorrow or Saturday to get caught up for this week, then I'll move to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's not too late to join me!!0 -

You have waited so long!! really excited for you!
I have been doing good at the water, not great at all with the exercise. :ohwell: I am thinking about picking up the push-up challenge. I started it a few times. It might be a good way to kick start my exercise!
Tomorrow i weigh. I will be surprised to see a drop, but we'll see...0 -
I haven't had a chance to look at the website but maybe the site will help us with our exercise challenge...any thoughts?
I'm not 100% just yet (suspect I have Norwalk) and I'm hoping to start on Monday!0 -
For me this is eating nearly exclusively from the top two tiers of Michi's Ladder ( http://www.beachbody.com/category/michis_ladder.do ) but allowing myself two squares of dark chocolate after dinner each night. (
Oh my goodness I love this list! I just printed it out and my goal is to not eat at all from the bottom 2. (except I have this horrible diet coke addiction and am in no way ready to give that up!)
I have those last 10-15 pounds to lose... they've creeped on since I graduated college (and stopped dance classes) and I'm tired of it... time to get it off and keep it off!0 -
So it turns out I'm not that well after all. Although I've felt better I'm still sick. After another horrible day my husband has urged me to call the doctor. I have an appt. tomorrow afternoon......I just want to feel 100% again!!!0
-
Hey count me in for the situps challenge...I will try to do the initial test this weekend and let you guys know how I go!0
-
Day 2 of the situps and pushups challenges down! I decided to modify the pushups (on my knees) and work up to regular pushups. So far so good!!0
-
Friday weigh-in .... and I am down .4 of a pound :laugh: I'm good with that, considering I was not exercising.. :frown: 138.9
Did well with water all week and will start the push-ups on Monday Going to work out these last couple days of the week and start fresh on Monday!
Ellipse - this yuckiness has been around too long!! Hope you can figure it out and mend soon!! :flowerforyou:
Have a great weekend all!0 -
I'm in this group I guess. I've got 9lbs left, but darn it's been hard to get rid of! I was eating at 1200 for a month and lost allot of weight at first but then hit the wall for the 2 weeks afterwards and so I figured I'm starving myself and decided to up the calories. I'm not feeling so good about eating more (feeling like I'm eating too much), but I'm looking for some way to get rid of these last pounds.0
-
Weigh-in day for me! 158.6--down from 160 last week. I'll take it!0
-
Stayed exactly the same as last week, I think I have hit a plateau. Gonna try the sit up challenge to see if that helps get past this.
Have a great weekend!0 -
Weigh in day again. I actually put a bit on today (you can see my profile picture shows a drop in "weight lost", the blue line). But it doesn't bother me - I weigh myself every day, and I'm quite sure that's a 1 day fluctuation. If its still there in 3 days I'll panic.
BUT, I've been basically stuck at the same weight for 21 days straight (including the 2 days when I actually was heavier). It doesn't really bother me, because I can see my cumulative calorie deficit is only now starting to catch up to my cumulative weight loss, so I wasn't really expecting more weight loss (I actually feel like I banked some weight loss early, and only just managed to finally "earn it"), but if the calorie deficit keeps going up (it will) and passes my weight loss without any movement on the scales, then I'll start to be frustrated. I think this week will be the week.
Fingers crossed it happens the same way as last time when I lost nearly 7 lb in 2 days. That'd pretty much take me to my target

Friday's weigh in was 123.8 down .4 pound. 8.8 pounds to go...0

Sorry I've been MIA....congrats to the losers this week!!!!!0
