Lookin' good everyone! As a whole, we have lost 6lbs! Good work everyone! How did you do on your measurements? Did you lose anything? Make sure you compare those! How did you do on the last challenge, no one talked about it! Were you able to get it going?
Here is your weigh-in for the next week! Weigh-in by Friday March 8th at midnight!

A lot of people have said that they were having trouble last week. Remember, the great thing about starting a new week is that you get to restart. Everyday you have a chance to restart. So take this opportunity to refresh and start anew! So in honor of that, lets start with our bodies. That's going to lead us to our weekly challenge.
WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Increase your water intake daily until you can reach the goal to drink ONLY water for one day! Flush out your system! Best way to start over! If you are like me, and you are addicted to caffeine, then remember to drink an extra glass for every cup of coffee, tea, juice, or soda pop you drink. Let us get rid of the toxins, get rid of the water weight, the water retention, and REFRESH! :drinker:
Also, take a moment right now to review your goals. Are you eating too little or too much for your current body? When was the last time you revisited your goals and changed things around? If something isn't working, maybe it is time to go back to the ground work and see if there's something you can change there.
GROUP CHALLENGE: Let's push ourselves to lose 10lbs as a WHOLE! We can do it! We have 4lbs to lose as a team! Lets do it!
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! Remember, we are an open group!
If you don't want to do the challenge anymore, please let me know. If you are not active after two weeks, I will remove your name from the chart. Any suggestions? Concerns? Send me a message! You can also add me to see when I post!

Seeing this actually makes me feel really good! I haven't been able to stick to a challenge before (I know we're only on Week 2 technically, but seriously, I just forgot or left because it wasn't for me by this point) but this one feels friendly, and manageable, and all round great!
Well done girls! x0 -
Lost a little
Still have to push harder this week. I didn't do the sit ups and push ups so I need to try and incorporate that in this week.

Week 1 (2/15): 191.6
Week 2 (2/25): 193.6
Week 3 (3/4): 189.6

I am going to do my measurements again next Mon. I try for about once a month

I'm going away for the weekend, so I'm weighing in early.
SW: 162
Week 1: 163
Week 2: 160
Week 3: 159
Weekly struggle: feeling like 1lb isn't a good enough loss. I know it's silly because it's what I'm set to, and I've been trying really hard to meet my calories rather than undereat. I think it's just after last week, I was geared up to see the same again, which just isn't going to happen!
Weekly strength: I've finished Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred! I've never stuck with it to the end of a level before. Once I get back from my trip, it's on to Level 2. Bit scared, but it'll be worth it - I'll finish the programme the morning I go home for Easter, which is my next goal. I'd like to be 154 (11 stone flat) for it, but I think it's more sensible to aim for 156 (11 stone 2) which is a pound a week from now.0 -
Sorry I missed the weigh in deadline. I'm probably not going to weigh in here any more. It gets frustrating week after week, not logging a loss. I chase 137 all week long. I have changed stuff up, added calories, ate cleaner, more water, anything you can think of. My body doesn't want to go below 137. lol. I'm not even at maintenance either. I'm still working my *kitten* off. I thought I'd be able to eat a little more and work out a little less crazily. Nope. I'll still follow you guys, but I'm not going to keep saying 137! 137! I will check in when there's a real loss or gain on weigh in day. Otherwise, could you please put me in as maintaining. If I don't do this, I'm scared I'll stop MFP completely. And I've been on MFP and part of this group since September and October of 2011. Thanks and good luck to all of you.0

It's a loss! A small one but I'll take it. I'm at a crossroads herre. I started at the end of Nov., 6 weeks after my girl was born. So far I'm down 25 lbs, 6 lbs less than my pre-preggo weight. When I did WW after my firstborn, I got to 154, then quit. I kept it up on my own and maintained around 150 until I got pregnant again. There was a hot second where I got down to 145, partly b/c I took a break and started again and partly b/c I got the stomacheflu.
The way I see it, I have 2 options: accept that this is where my body wants to be and start maintaining which is a challenge in an do itself or, ride out this not really a plateau (still averaging 1 lb a week) and accept that as long as I get to where I want to go, it doesn't really matter how long it takes. I'm opting for the latter if only to have the satisfaction of accomplishing something I put my mind to.
One thing is for sure, no more daily weigh-ins!
Good luck to everybody this week.0 -

Congrats on finishing level 1, RoseMay.Don't be scared of level 2, if you can sweat and grunt your way through level 1, you can do level 2. It will be hard at first but you'll quickly improve which makes you feel like a badass. Even if you don't hit your goal weight by Easter, you'll have finished the 30 day shred which is an achievement in and of itself. Don't forget to take some measurements to compare before and after.0 -
MommyRobin,
Sorry to hear your struggling. I'm always so inspired by your 88 lbs lost banner. Maybe it's time to take a step back from dieting and appreciate how far you've come and regroup for the next phase. How close are you to your goal? The closer you get the slower it can go. Someone on mfp recommended this article called the Full Diet Break by Lyle McDonald:
www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-full-diet-break.html
It's an interesting perspective. I plan on trying it out at the end of the month b/c I'm going on vacation for two weeks. Knowing me, I'll probably gain a bit but at least I'll be recharged and ready to start fresh in April. I think the crucial step is having a plan for what you're going to after the brak so 2 weeks doesn't turn into 12. Anyway, it might not be for you but it is an interesting read nonetheless.
Whatever you do, 88 lbs is still so kickass!0 -
Interesting advice, MagicFeather. I'm starting to reach my goal weight too know so I'll give that bodyrecomposition link a read!

Weekly struggle: I am SO slack with doing my 30 day shred workout! I haven't done it for about two weeks now! I have 5 more sessions of level 3 left then I have completed it but since going back to working full time as well as fasting twice a week, I felt I haven't had the energy/time to do it! Also, think I will be starting my period within the next week as my weight loss has slowed a little and my stomach is starting to look a little bloated which feels really demotivating although I know this is only natural!
Weekly strength: Money has been pretty tight this week so I've had to be a little more creative with my cooking and use up what we've got in the kitchen instead of going out shopping and I've somehow managed to cook super healthy meals. So I'd say I've eaten pretty clean this week. Although, we've got money today so my bf has offered to cook me a full english breakfast! But I think we deserve treats once in a while.0 -
Start Weight: 189.8

Weekly struggle: I didn't get enough workouts this week. Been SUPER busy!
Weekly strength: I have been eating cleaner and it finally shows! I'm excited to finally pass this 190 mark!
--Thank you Magic Feather for that advice! Seems interesting, I hope it helps you Robin!!!0 -
Start weight: 150.6
week 2 weight: 149
week 3: 146.8!!!!
ahhhhhhhh!!! I hit a new low this week!!! I've been fluctuating so much between 149 and 151 for the past month, so I'm sooooo excited I got to 146.8!
Biggest struggle--finding time to work out. This semester is killing me with 5 classes, my job is more demanding than ever, and I am trying to find that balance where I don't miss out on my kids by having to go to the gym when I could be spending time with them. The problem is by the time I get done with homework and bein a mom, it's so late I either didn't make it to my gym that closes at 11 (and it's been super cold outside--not an option to go and risk getting sick) or I'm too tired to even move. I know that working out will help with energy, but... then again, I guess it looks like excuses....
Biggest strength--food! I actually have been eating cleaner--with the exception of my marathon busy day yesterday, I have been eating whole grains, lean protein, and tons of veggies and fruits. That makes such a difference in how I feel! 0 -
I'm only 2 lbs. from my original goal weight. But I've been stuck at 137 since June! I go up and down but always land back here.0

I struggled this week to find time to exercise. Oh well, I attempted to make up for it by really getting into the sweeping and mopping and moving the tables at work LOL.0
