Lose 5 Pounds a Month- July 2010 Challenge

Jenn, glad to see you're still around. I was missing you. I think of you everytime I work on my "angel wings". LOL They are getting better, believe it or not.
Phyllis, where are you? Are you still stateside in Idaho? Missing your fun stories and encouragement.
My goal this week is to take up water aerobics again. It's so hot here, a cool morning would help. I used to teach swim lesson to little ones yrs. ago and an occasional water aerobics class, so I'm looking forward to it.
Have a great weekend.

Sounds great!!! I am in!

I'm in, current weight is 310 lbs

Being ambitious as I am, I am going to try and do 10 lbs a month. :drinker:

Hello ladies!!!! It has been a tough week. I have 3 sick little ones. MAN!! eating right with sick kidos is hard. I did have a 1 lb loss this week tho. Hey I am having a hard time getting my weigh ticker on my main screen. How did you ladies get it there?? Have a great day

Great job losing a 1lb!! I hope those poor babies feel better real soon and you continue to work hard trying to eat good and care for them!!

From your profile page click on tools then weightloss ticker then change your style of ticker and fix the way you want it save it then click get code copy the code then go to my home page then message board next click signature and paste your ticker code in there and hit save and it should appear on your page for you hope that helps it may be a shorter version but that worked for me!!

Hope you have a great day too:drinker:

Hey everyone I hope you all had a good week. congratulations to all. : ) im so excited i bought my new scale and weighed the following morning and i was 171 which was great then today i was 172.0 YAY : )

S W JULY 1st : 172.8

C W JULY 11th : 172.0

G W Aug 1st : 167.8

Not much but its something ...

Randi I have the same problem lol i just cant help stepping on the scale daily but i keep a calendar on my fridge and write the weight on it every time i weigh myself in the morning it keeps me focused on the weekly weights and i can see the fluxuations better so that i don't focus on the times that i go up, I don't write anything else on that calendar just the weight on that particulare morning. I didn't write anything during the week that i didn't have a scale but resumed a couple days ago when i got it again. Hope that helps : )

edit: Oh and i weigh with just my night shirt on no pants lol cause i know that im heavier with clothes on so that is a deturrant from weighing any other time than in the morning and at night. but i only write down the morning weight right after i weigh


Im really looking forward to next weeks challenge i bombed this week but 3 fruits and 2 vegies seems reachable cant wait to see what goes with it. : )

Happy Monday!! Hope the weekend was kind to you all! Don't forget, if there's something you want to see as a challenge for NEXT week, private message me, I'll pick two different types of exercise and one food challenge.
Here's this weeks BMK Challenge! Are you game?
Jumping Jacks 150 for the week - thats 25 a day with one day of rest!
Eat 3 different fruits & 2 different veggies per day for at least 5 days.
And lets do another 2 days of 90 min straight workout this week!
Let's get it started! Woot woot!
I'm headed out for Week7 Day1 of C25k since it's not yet raining, however, my boobs are killing, so I doubled up my sportsbra, but I don't think it's gonna help. I'll be in and out throughout the week. Take care all!! Bru

I am in for my 1st 5#/MONTH challange.....I love these challanges

--50 jumping jacks in....

rmwilliams- I know what you mean, I'm the same way. I do really great during the week...but on the weekends I really blow it. I don't even log in because I know that I really messed up on the calories and the exercise.

This site is really good though because I see all the other really great women who are doing it 7 days a week and I look at their success and it gives me hope!!!

I look at it this way, before, I wasn't even doing it right for 5 days a week...now I am....so I pray that I will eventually get it right 7 days a week.

Hang in there we can do it

Alright guys talk about a blow that can totally knock the wind out of my sail I stepped on the scale after 550 mins of working out and I was down 0.8 all I can say is really that's it ok so the plan for this week is to really buckle down on my food this time plus anothe great workout week is on the way. I will see what that bring 3weeks left something will work!!!

Bru - thanks for posting the challenge. I think I will join in this week. I have already had 2 fruits today and a variety of veggies in my lunch salad (spinach, arugula, peppers, cucumber, tomato, mushrooms). I will be sure to eat another fruit before the end of day, as well as another veg for good measure. I haven't done jumping jacks in ages - should be fun! The tricky one for me to fit in is the 90 min sessions - I know I can do one on Saturday (BodyFLOW + C25k), so I just need to fit one more in! I can surely manage to do that! Maybe 10 min cardio + 20 min of weights before/after one of my classes this week? :happy:

One of the worst weekends in my life. I know I've lost but its not a good loss... expecting it to come back. I will work hard at staying healthy through this mess.

Talk to you al soon!

If I don't lose anything this week, I am going to scream! I have stepped up my workouts, cut out whiskey-drinking wine, cut out a heavy dessert-having a 60 cal poscicle.....aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh

Did 150 jumping jacks today....a nice exercise to fit in anytime you have a couple minutes and it adds up....ate my quota of fruit/vegs......and even worked out with Jillian.....day one DOWN!!!!! bring on tomorrow!!!!
