WEEK 2 Jan 14 - Jan 18

mlanggin88 · January 2013

Here it is....... Week 2. I have been so inspired by everyone and I am ready to be even more surprised this week.

Along with logging in this week remember our mini challenge. On top of drinking 64 or more oz of water each day we want everyone to try to also get at least 3 days of cardio doing 30 min or more...... I know this can be hard with kids and life, but just think that this 30 min is 30 min you are dedicating to your health..........

Really looking forward to everyone's log..............

Thanks ~ Melissa

Hi everyone ,

This week I lost 2lbs. My goal for this week is to do at least 45 minutes of Zumba Core for 5 days no less than 4 days. It is going to be difficult with running a household and 3 papers due this week, but I know I can do it if I manage my time wisely.

Good Luck everyone

~One day & meal at a time~

Lost 1.4lbs wanted to lose 2lbs it didn't happen, but still very pleased that am down 1.4lbs from last week.

tls723 · January 2013

Still no change for me. Guess I need to start getting real about the food choices that I'm making everyday... I feel like I'm really close to the calorie limit, but maybe eating the wrong foods (read: Junk) is holding me back?

Dropped another one this week. Goal for the week: focusing on drinking 64 oz of h20 daily, daily workouts, and no late night snacking. Good luck everyone.

Happy with the 1.4 as I had a bad day on Friday & had gone up a little. Hopefully over the mini slump & back on track

Great mini challenges. My weight hasn't changed yet but I'm going to weigh in end of week again. I need to really focus on tracking every day!

sweetlady162 · January 2013

Week two- i'm down to 140.8 and was able to make it to crossfit three times this week. I have no idea how to track a crossfit class or how many calories i burn while i'm there, but it seems to be helping

SW: 197.5

This Week: 195.0
GW: 185

Yikes, this is going so slowly! At least the scale is moving in the right direction. Tracking my food religiously, I can't believe how many calories I was consuming before MFP- easily 2500-3000/day!

Looks like it's time to add some exercise into the mix to burn some chub- this is such a challenge for me. Today I'm home with my sick little girl, so maybe I can squeeze a workout in during her nap.

Best of luck on this week's weigh-in to everyone!

Jarice12 · January 2013

Almost time for the weekly weigh-in! I'm feeling heavier than I did last week lol. I hope it's all in my head. I've been doing Tae-Bo so I should at last see change in my measurements. Is anyone else feeling a little hesitant about weigh-in this week?

Great job everyone...... A loss is a loss and I am so proud of all of you..... unfort I went in the other direction...

SW 261.4
W1 260.0
W2 263.8

Yikes I gained 3.8 lb in one week...... I know it has alot to do with my diet.. also my friend FLOW is going to be visiting me any day now.... (I can feel her presence all around me) So maybe she is a facot in my gain... who knows.. Tomorrow kicks off a competition between me and my family. We are doing our own similar version of The Biggest Loser and I believe first weigh in is tonight. I really hope this gives me the motivation to continue with my weight loss journey.. There is a prize involved at the end so I hope this is the dangeling carrot I need...

Welp You all have done amazing work in moving the scale in the right direction. I am sorry as your challenge creator I am not succeeding with you all.... Hoping my go at little to no sugar will help break this habit I have been in..

Yep... Part of it is definitely FLOW...My food choices haven't been the best either but I have tried to stick to my alotted calories by increasing exercise. Maybe on those days that you can't be as strict on yourself, just try to get as close as you can to that daily calorie goal and drink plenty of water. The most important thing is DON'T GIVE UP. This is going to be a lifestyle for us, not a "diet", so we have to expect that some days we're going to eat exactly what we feel like having. That's OK! The key is making adjustments to get back on track. You can and will do this! Next week is a new week. Everyone is doing a great job!

W1: 183.4
Wk2: 182.4
Vday goal: 180

I lost 1 pound. I believe I wasn't eating enough last week because I starting feeling weak, so I actually increased my calorie intake. I changed from Jillian to Tae Bo with cardio salsa in between. I also lost 1 inch off my waist and 1 inch off my hips. This is so slow going, but last year I became severely anemic from dieting so I don't want to push it. Now, time to enjoy some goodies this weekend...and work'em off later, of course:)

laf0195 · January 2013
