Turn your Life around 20's

I know we gatta keep it going!!

Good job alicia your awsome!!

Well tomorrow is my weigh in and I'm really hoping for something good. I have been walking about 40 to 50 minutes a day and half of it is uphill, and I've also been pretty good food wise. I'm a little nervous though bc i did cheat horribly on my cheat day so I'm ganna try to fit in another work out tonight before tomorrow weigh in.

Hope everyone is doing great and we can get this thread back up and running!!!

sollygirl,

if you don't mind me asking, what is your caloric intake for the day? your weight loss goals seem similar to mine and i've been struggling lately to try and find something that works. My current weight is at about 140 and i'd like to get down to just below 130ish if i can.

Thanks!

Don't mind at all I'm on a 1200 calorie diet but I always eat back my exerise calories which is about an extra 150 to 250 calories depending on what I do. I allow myself one cheat day a week, but about one or two days i may also go over slightly on my calories.

Good luck and if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. =]

I'm so happy i lost 2.5 lbs this week. I did try a lot harder this week, but i am very suprised it was that much seeing im right at the finish line. I think i might have to change my goal once i get there or go into maintence mode.

Hope everyone who weighs in today does great!! and to those who weigh in monday good luck!!

I decided this week to make some goals starting today to try to motivate me more this week. I am just ganna post them here for some accountability.

Be under calories 5 out of 7 days.
Drink at least 8 servings of water each day.
Do at least 30 minutes of work out each day.
Do at least 25 push ups each day.
Do at least 75 sit ups each day.

Join in on my goal if you'd like!!

Those are GREAT goals!!! I think those should be our challenges for this week, lets say everyone pick at least 3 of them. I am going to do the pushups, water, and sit ups... thanks girl!

Awsome, I'm glad you girls joined in. I have a feeling this week is going to be hard for me to lose bc i did have a good loss last week and I'm nearing the finish line. So I'm really trying extra hard to be accountable for everything.

Hi everyone!

Mind if I join your group? I am 25 and have about 30 pounds to lose.

I'm in! Great ideas! And congrats on the loss! :drinker:

Hey Ladies hope every one that weighs in today saw a good number!!

Well I had a cheat day yesterday and I definitely went over board!! I went out to eat with my boyfriend and his friends and then we had a game night and i just kept eating because everyone else was. So I'm going to make up for it the rest of the week and try to do any extra work out each day even just 5 more minutes and not eat back the calories for it. I ate about 2500 to 3000 calories yesterday.:noway:

Heck ,why not?

Short BG: Military female from a fat family... Always had weight issues, currently 175 and the same weight I was in 5th grade (I've grown 1 inch since the 4th grade).

My highest weight was 238 (after son), and lowest adult weight was 155 on my last deployment. I was stable at 160 for a while, but I neglected my cardio, and the weight crept back on over the past year. I still have a good base to work on, and I am hoping this will be the last trip I have to take down the scale.

I started MFP because we are having a Biggest Loser Contest at work. I have to beat my friend Karl I have made that pretty clear in my profile.

Lost another pound!!! Gosh it seems this last week took forever to get by! Glad it is a new week! Hope everyone did well yesterday with the challenge! I combined my sit ups and push ups with the 30 minute workout (short on time). Under my calories by 54 and drank all my water! So yea, had a good day!

Solly, don't worry about the evening out. Today is a new day and you have to indulge a little here and there! You are doing great!

Ash, sorry about the annoying girls. Thats the worst! Hopefully they finally shut it and you could get some work done.

Im 23 and have ALOT more to go!

im 21 years old and i just had my daughter Ellianna 2 1/2 months ago. when i first started dating my husband 6 years ago i was at 115lbs and looked amazing! now at 185 i hate the way i look and feel. my husband is active duty air force and just left for a deployment and i would REALLY like to get some weight off for when he gets back. my ultimate goal is to get back down to 135lbs, so thats 50lbs i would like to lose eventually. so id love any advice anyone has and if you have any menu plans you fallow id love the help!!!

Hey everyone! Hows your week going?!! How was the weekend?! I was in anaheim all weekend, I was able to eat healthy, luckily there was a fridge in the room and ran twice so that was nice, it was quite windy one day though. Have a great night everyone! :bigsmile:

I lost 5.5 lbs my first week, but I am sure a lot of that was water weight... I weigh in on Mondays, and I am (cautiously) hoping for at least 1 lb weight loss this week... I have been staying within my given calories, but we recently bought a house and had to short notice move out of our rental, so I have been packing and moving instead of hitting the gym.

I just hope it doesn't bite me in the butt.

Sollygirl, my coworker told me to tell you you have beautiful eyebrows. He keeps looking over my shoulder.

HI Ladies,

Hope everyone had a good week. Lost a 1lb. which isnt to bad considering i still had a fairly stressful work week.

Looking forward to next week, as I am coaching some MS girls lacrosse in the town i live in, and its a few days a week. I figure i am going to try and run with them as much as possible to help get in some extra cardio in.

Whats the challenge for the week?

That sounds like fun plus you'll get an extra workout in! Yes we need a new challenge, PLUS we need to keep this thread going... we seem to lose a lot of people that post once or so, hopefully they'll make their way back to us! So challenge, what about trying to eat a serving of fruits or vegetables with every meal?

Yah, I need to kick their buts in shape otherwise they will not make it through running in a whole lacrosse game. Doign stairs and ladders this week.
Fruit and veggies sounds like a great idea. So glad strawberries are in season now.

Happy it was so nice today, cleaned the house from top to bottom and the deck too!
