My goals are to:
1) To comfortably fit into a size 12 while on my way to a size 10 in June. I just recently got down to a size 14 in just re-starting my lifestyle change on 1/5/13.
2) Be able to do 50 non-modified push-ups at one time.
3) Do enough squats to grow a butt...lol...this darn thing keeps shrinking as I lose weight.0 -
Hi Everyone! Just wanted to post my Active Rest Day NSV for today. I decided to walk in place while catching up on my TV shows tonight. It wasn't a high calorie burn workout, but I just felt let moving!

That's a good idea with the walking in place while watching TV. Every little bit helps.0 -

I wanted to mention a great magazine that I truly love, Cooking Light. They really have some great recipes for your main course, desserts, vegetables, pastas, etc. They don't skimp on flavor either! I find myself cooking more with fresh herbs now. I like the recipes you can make under 30 minutes, since I am trying to keep on schedule with my workouts after work. I try to make enough to last a few days, but my husband eats more than his share of the portions! You can also search for recipes through their online site.
Just thought I would share.
I also love Cooking Light magazine. I also subscribe to Eating Well and Weight Watchers. Like most of us I love food and want to cook meals that are tasty as well as healthy.0 -

NSV:
The past week was a challenge with V-Day and anniversary. I did indulge some with chocolates and a few extra carbs. But I did not beat myself up about it because this is a lifestyle change. I just continued to workout to counteract those indulgences.
I continue with my Insanity challenge and I have been contemplating restarting back to month 1 instead of moving on to the month 2 workouts. (Month two is a beast).
Weight loss for the week = -1
Total loss = - 60 -
Hi ladies! I was thinking about it today, and I think that we should have some Official Weigh-in Days. I'm thinking that the Official Weigh-ins will be: February 21, April 21, and the final day of the challenge, June 21.
Everyone can submit their weight on the their regular weigh in days, and update the challenge as much as they want, but I think that this will help provide better markers. After re-reading Serene's post, I think that this is what she meant by weigh in days, and I missed what she meant. Sorry about that!
I'll post this in the lead post for anyone new. Also, feel free to update your original post with your goal weights for each official weigh in. I'll update mine here, and again, in the lead post.
Sorry for any confusion ladies! Let's get it!

Apparently when I joined the group, I neglected to go through all of the posts, so I completely missed this one. It wasn't until I saw someone's reply to it today that I realized I had never seen it before. I weighed in this morning, so Feb 21 is only 3 days away, however, here are my goals for each date:
Feb 21 - 177.5 (hopefully I can shed another half a pound in 3 days :bigsmile: )
Apr 21 - 160
Jun 21 - 143 (crosses fingers
)
BTW....how does everyone feel about posting before and after pics? Maybe not for Feb since it's a few days away, but for April and June.0 -

LOL! I'm with you....if this BMI scale tells me ONE more time that I'm OBESE, I'm going to lose it! :explode:0 -
Well, I finally had a breakthrough and after two weeks finally lost a pound to make it 3 pounds lost. Whew! I guess I am a slow loser also. One day at a time and I will take it. I didn't work out the last three days and finally got back on track this morning, so imagine my surprise when I saw I actually had a loss! Loving my Zumba Cardio Party dvd right now.
Let's go get it ladies!0 -
I have the same, my anniversary was on 2-16 and I ate a few more carbs. Hopefully when I weigh tomorrow I will be okay!:happy:
Hope you will also when you weigh next. We can do this!0 -
