Bikini Babes - April

ladies i'm far from bikini or tankini ready. last week the scale moved UP but I refuse to accept it lol so working on getting it back down. I shud probably fess up and change my ticker but I dont wanna lose the lil motivation I have left.
glad to see u guys are still doing good

Yeah, I know what you mean Nola! The scale for me has been stuck between 160-163 for the last two and a half months or so. It's a pain in the butt, really. :frown: Hang in there, we'll get down some more!

since we haven't heard from sjmay for awhile how about someone makes a challenge for everyone to do or what kind of a challenge you ladies want to do this week, for a weight loss for this saturday.
my challenge is not to eat anything heavy after 7:00 pm

Great job on losing porterbaby! I think that is actually a great challenge, having a time not to eat after. I always wait at least two hours after eating before I go to bed so it's a pain when I eat later and I'm tired because I have to keep myself up. So my challenge for this week is to not eat after 8pm.

I didn't make my 8pm cut off time last night because of the gym and having to cook the family dinner when I got home.:grumble: I did make it by 8:30 though and didn't go to bed till after midnight so I at least had my two hour wait before bed. Tonight should not be a problem, my daughter just has dance and that is over at 6:15 so I will have plenty of time to eat when I get home.

How is the 7pm time frame coming porterbaby?

And how is everyone else doing with the challenge?

I hope everyone is doing good it seems to be so quiet on here lately.:huh:

Hey Ladies! Hope everyone is doing great! I did great on this challenge until last night.

I'm just going to post my weigh in because it's just become a habit and keeps me motivated!

LW: 153
CW: 155

Those 5 pounds won't seem to go away

usmcwifeb15: actually i'm doing really good on my 7:00 on quit eating. at my uncle's house saturday kinda late. i gained i was back up to 173.8 last week but i weight myself this morning at my aunt house and i was back down to 166.2 lbs. 1. so my this week challenge is i'm going to do more exercises on my stomach , butt, and thighs without using any dvds. i'm going to do at least an hour to work on them.
2. do 20min. of stretching twice a day.
3. drink water since it's warm outside.
if there's any challenges anyone can think feel free to post it.
nolachick: that's great.
steph: good luck on your running. just drink plenty of fluids.
isotope: i'm glad it motivates you.

Well, I think I have broken my 3 month plateau this week! I have dropped down to 158.2! I am very excited.

How is everyone doing?

My family & friends seem to think I can pull off a bikini already - but I don't think so yet. I mean, my arms and legs are great - and don't mind showing those off. But it's my abdomen - still too tubby for my likes to show it off. Maybe when I am 18 lbs lighter.

That's great, Stephanie! I'm sure you can pull off a bikini, especially if others think you can! But we all know we're our worst critics so if you don't feel comfortable yet, you probably won't enjoy it as much anyway. Big congrats on your progress though! You're doing awesome!

Thanks Lisa! I think I am going to stick to Tankinis unless I can lose 18 lbs of fat by the end of the summer.

starting:226lbs.
last:170.4lbs.
this:169.4lbs.
bb:185.6lbs.
goal:140lbs. or 135lbs.

hi ladies is there a way we can get this thread going again. i really like this thread. i know everyone's busy and all. but i miss everyone in this thread. i know i see some of you ladies on others, but this was one of the the threads that get me motivated. since sjmay is very busy, maybe someone else can do the % , because i don't know how. it's up to the rest of you ladies. just let me know.

Thanks, porterbaby!

I agree. Would love to keep this thread and group going. It's been very motivating. I've been super busy these last few weeks so haven't been posting much!
