Don't lose motivation...things will get better. Have you looked at what you were doing when you lost the 4pounds? Sometimes its the small changes that make a difference. I have found that overt time if I haven't tracked my food properly then I don't do so well as I love food and will easily eat too much.Last week I was all excited because I'd lost the 4 pounds I gained. And now I'm all sad again because I've had a 0 week. I guess it's better than gaining, but I'm still feeling really bummed.
I'm starting to lose motivation...which I really don't want to do

I haven't been as good as last time about tracking my calories, but I've still been trying to be very aware of what I'm eating. I feel like this week I also just ate less in general. Skipped breakfast twice and even once skipped dinner - I didn't eat because I wasn't hungry. This afternoon I felt like my workout was just going through the motions and I hardly sweat at all on my elliptical - I think maybe I accidentally put myself in starvation mode because I wasn't eating enough or eating properly. Need to be better about that.0

Hey everybody!
I did really well with food this week. I made sure to eat a really great breakfast every day. I did crunches and squats when I could, even though I forgot to track them. I am still behind on the actual workouts though. I am going to dedicate this week to improving that effort. I weighed myself yesterday and am still at 187.5 lbs. This is a bit of an improvement.
Hope to see more improvement.

Ok, the last two weeks haven't been great. I only lost 0.2 pounds each week, but I have been really focused on training for my marathon and not on what I'm eating. I guess this proves that exercise is only half the battle. I'm off to the gym in an hour or so to get back on track and focused on both diet and exercise.
Challenges this week:
4 of 4 days of exercise
1 of 1 new thing: ran a half marathon
0 of 135 bicycle crunches
not 7 days of breakfast - I had breakfast a few days, but I'm not sure exactly how many.
no recipe0 -
I messaged Susie (susiej1976) and Taylor (eravia24) to get their weights for this week, and Susie has already gotten back to me, so I added it to the spreadsheet. One more and we'll have gotten everyone's weights for this week!
Good luck with week 3 everyone!0 -
Hi lovelies,
Wow what a commitment from all of you !!! I am so pleased with your efforts I hope you will like this week's challenges .
This is our third week challenge !!!! Have fun and get healthy!
There is lbs reward for each part of this challenge
max 8 lbs
Exercise
1. 4 days out of 7 of 30-45 min cardio or strength exercise sessions to be spread out during the week as it suits you best!
sessions of jogging, fast walking, cross-trainer or treadmill,Zumba, Aerobics, Dance, DVD , Gym etc.
(moderate cleaning doesn't count
!!! )
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed to do at least 4 sessions!!!
2. Try something new or something you didn't do for a while - independent exercise of your choice for 30 min session at least!!! I know its getting harder to come up with something new :-)) ... so don't worry too much it can be anything interesting unusual - special you would like to share :-))
If you lack inspiration, you can try swimming, clubbing (DANCING!!!), another class at your local gym, or that new DVD , take tennis rackets and go play tennis with kids in park ... or football ... I found out trampoline extremely hard in 0 challenge :-) and since I went to work last week I repeated it 2x and love it :-))
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed
3.
so this week we will concentrate on abs and booty and upper body strength !!! And main challenge Crunch and squats
At least 135 squats and 135 crunches spreaded in 3 days and as new exercise try 135 push ups again spreaded in at least 3 days
1 lbs advantage for everyone who succeed 2 lbs for most BUT DON'T OVER DO
4. Don't forget to take a day rest! Your body needs it.
5. For the WEEK 2 FOOD challenge, I thought we might still keep it BASIC ( I think we will always keep it basic ) ! Let's take this week to focus on 5 A DAY and cooking and preparing dish with veg and/or fruit - let other inspire you with their choices and recipes ! I know from looking into diaries - there is so many of you skipping it , but girls (as far as I know we don't have a man in our challenge) come on this is not good for us.
there is NO excuse girls and having 7x your 5 a DAY is the only way to get 1 lbs advantage (sorry there is only medical excuse not to have a fruit /veg - please let me know if you need exception)
Keep drinking water - even if it is not our topic!!! I hope you picked up some good tips. I hope you got inspired with fish recipes and will keep eating 2x a week fish or other meals that include omega-3 fatty acids as a highlight. And I hope breakfast is your meal for ever .
cooking challenge
Also, I will be doing Cooking Challenge for week 3. It will run from today may6th - may 13th . I need the pictures and ingredients of 1 dish you were having this week for yourself. It has to have at least 2 portion of 5 a day . I will be judging on healthiness, calorie amount and presentation .

Hey everyone! Please post in the "merging teams" discussion if you'd like to still be a part of this challenge group. Participation has dropped drastically overall, so many are thinking of restructuring. So far only two yellow team members have responded (navywifeandmom and me). I hope the rest of you can continue on with us, but good luck to anyone who decides to continue on individually
