WEEKLY NSV: {Instead of a strength, a weekly non-scale victory. What made you squeal with delight and made you proud of you?}
WEEKLY CHALLENGE PUSH IT! Work it! Make yourself do what you haven't been doing! Challenge your body and your mind to be healthy! If you aren't exercising, then do it! If you aren't tracking, then do it! Re-evaluate your goals and your methods!
GROUP CHALLENGE: Since we have gone under our previous goal, we're going to push ourselves to lose 30lbs (so back to 25 and then some) for the week! PUSH 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!

OK - I feel like I have fallen off the wagon, so this week I need to PUSH it. The (FINALLY) nice weather has had me spring cleaning and being outside with Alanna, so my Strong Lifts have been out aside.... even though I JUST bought the Olympic Weights and Bench this past week. I haven't even used them yet! This week is tough b/c my boss is on vacation so its just me in my Dept.. all week taking care of 30 salesmen. So, I have to be strong, drink my water, take walks at lunch and get in my weights at night since working late means I miss my gym classes. I CAN DO THIS! I WANT to hit 185 for next week!! That is my next mini goal and I get close and then pull back away.

ok shifted most of the vacation weight. hopefully next week i'll see a genuine loss along with the vaycay weight. my measuring tape broke so i'll have to wait till the next round.
weekly challenge: going back to work on Monday! It will be a juggle working, getting the oldest to school and my youngest starting daycare and getting our meals prepared. Luckily, I won't be doing it alone. My man and my MIL will be there to help.
weekly strength: knowing i lost the baby weight and can start wearing all my cute work clothes again. spring is in the air! It's staying light later so it naturally brightens everyone's spirits. Looking forward to a change of pace and content to be losing slow and steady.0 -
I can't remember every week up to now, so I'm just putting last week and this week!
SW: 162
W7: 156
W8: 155
Struggle: I'm failing to find the motivation for big workouts. I'm at a point where I'd rather do an hour on the Wii Fit than 20 minutes of 30DS. It's still more than I used to do so I'm just going to make sure I push it after my birthday ready for the summer.
NSV: my size 14 jeans (US 10 I think) are definitely too big
And I'm on a 25.something BMI, so I'm really close to being the healthy BMI I want for my birthday in a month! 0 -
well, I'm at 147 today! not my lowest, but definitely better than the 149-151 i've been bouncing around. my theory on how this is possible when i have been bloated from pms?... i haven't eaten out once this week. not at all. and even though some of my food is prob too processed to be "healthy" i'm eating things that are better for me than fast food! (or restaurant food--i never know what's in most of it!)
strength: food choices--mostly.
NSV: being told by someone who sees me everyday that when she looked at my old pics this week she didn't even recognize me because i look so different now. Oh--and non-weight related nsv--i got placed for student teaching in the fall!!! it's finally feeling real!!! :happy: 0 -

Weekly struggle: Since being back at work I have felt very tired and missed one workout this week. Also slightly messed up one of my fast days.
WEEKLY NSV: Lost my holiday weight I had gained of 5lb as well as losing a further 2lb! (which is a scale victory - sorry!) I have also cycled to work everyday this week and ate pretty healthy and have kept within my calorie goals so I'm pretty proud of myself this week. Also have noticed myself looking slimmer when I look in the mirror (which I haven't really noticed since losing the first 10lb or so).0 -

--Goal Weight: 174.0-=--CHANGED
NSV: regardless of the scale going up, my pants are still baggy. I was quite pleased to find that out...
STRUGGLE: I have failed the challenge. I did not push it at all this week. I decided to lounge around, eat out my pms/stress, and read 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. --btw, relatively short series when you skip all the naughty stuff--
Tomorrow I am going on a 5k Walk for MS, for an acquaintance of mine who has been diagnosed recently. I used to teach music to her daughter, and she is pretty much best friends with my sister-in-law. I'm happy to partake in the walk...I'm also hoping it will kick start me into exercising again. I'm going to admit it, because where else do I say it...I have not worked out since my sister had arrived. Initially, I was waiting for my friend to send me her P90X, which I have yet to have received, and then I just never did....so it has been a month since I have exercised. Yup, I deserve the 4lb gain from a few weeks ago.
Seeing as my habits have been changed, I'm going to change my goal to something that will be more achievable in the time frame we have. I really wanted to be a certain weight for my best friend's wedding in June, but I have come to the realization that I have lost 37lbs so far after my first pregnancy (a 50lb loss since the last time anyone has seen me), so no matter what weight I am at, I will be less...and I will look fine at the wedding. I want to tone up my arms, but I can get there....174 is a good goal I think.0 -
great loss Phreekles! I need your motivation!!!!
in face, you ALL have done a wonderful job! You have encouraged me!0 -
Lol thanks! I def think exercising everyday and drinking 2 litres of water everyday helps. Never really gave drinking water much thought before but I realise now its really a key factor in weight loss - especially getting rid of water retention!0
