New year New body challenge!!

I'm in! So long as the group doesn't get too big, I have a really hard time following a whole bunch of people and reading a billion posts. So will tomorrow be our first weigh in or next thursday?

Ok so there is less than 4 months left til 2011..Who wouldnt want to look and feel great on new years??? :smooched:

So I am gonna start a challenge that focuses on weightloss, excercise, and food and water intake..:drinker:

We will weigh in on thursdays, and be allowed one cheat day per week..I personally choose Saturday or Sunday as my cheat day.:bigsmile:

Together we can do this..

Feel free to add any advice, input, and challenges you like!! :flowerforyou:

Hey! I am currently 169 and want to be 130 by New Years.. So, it seems like we are similar. This post could be perfect for me. I always do my weigh ins on Sundays, but can switch to Thursday after this week. Let's do this!

The water thing gets better with time, I promise. haha I used to hate it with a firey passion, but now I drink somewhere between 10 and 12 cups a day!

Maybe lol... I have been trying to make myself like it, but it makes me gag..lol.

What kinds of excercises are you doing now?? Trying to get back in a routine:blushing:

I switch it up as much as I can.. Right now I only have access to a gym once or twice a week (UGH!) but I do Jillian's 30 day shred sometimes, I do a TON of walking (because its peaceful and easy to do), stairs crunches and that kind of stuff. I also go Ice Skating once a week and play racquetball once a week. I get really bored and give up if I try and do the exact same thing every day.

What is everyone eating for dinner tonight???? I need some new ideas!

i dont know how All this works ? is the group fu;ll ?

Hey since I dont think the one who started this post has been online in a while... and tomorrow is weigh in,I am volunteering to take over.... so if you are still checking this at all, feel free to message me your starting weights and your one week results for this week. I will get it posted.

i just seen this challenge today and i would love to join!!!

NOT COMPLAINNG AT ALL...we were slammed...they had me in several places throughout the day...drive thru taking both orders and cash...then a few hours later switched me from drive thru to taking orders in the lobby....then after a lil bit switched me back over to drive thru...me personally i prefer drive thru over ANYTHING ELSE there....I'M LOVING IT....LOL...so after i got off work, one of my friends wanted a mcflurry....SOOOOO I decided you know that sounds like a great way to end my day...lol...so i got snack size Reese's flurry.

Then, when I get home my buddy had BBQ and I just COULD NOT say no to that...lol....I didn't even bother counting...didn't bother measuring or ANYTHING...LOL...anyways i can just count this day as ONE of my cheat days....lol...AFTER ALL my cheat days is the weekend...lol

Do not ever feel like you have to explain yourself to us. Everyone slips up!! Never fear, also I honestly feel that forbidding yourself from these things completely can only lead to slip ups. If you WANT a snack size mcflurry then do it! But obviously ideally fit it into your allotted cals for the day!

Last night, I worked until 11, got home at 11:30 STARVING because my dinner break was at 4 PM and we are literally putting a store together. Instead of having a healthy snack the way I should, I ate some leftover KFC (I dont even LIKE KFC in less than starving standards! hahahaha) and then ugh, the super horrible part, there was just a little leftover strawberry frosting from when I baked my sisters bday cupcakes... That got eaten too.

But, that's just how life goes sometimes, and the only choice I had was to rise above it, accept that as a decision I made and try and make better ones today (also try to understand how I resisted easily the actual cupcakes and the frosting while baking like a million of them a week ago, but 2 spoonfuls of it was impossible to resist?? LOL)

I just thought I would share my experiences, I didn't want you to think all of us were eating absolutely perfect and judging you, no one is judging you. Congratulations on admitting to us and yourself your over-calorie day, and hope today went well!


awesome job too on the 60 minutes of walking.

good idea! I will add that next week!! btw, off topic, but I LOVE your hair in your main picture.

thank you it takes forever to do that way, but I get lots of compliments on it so it's well worth it

Hey Reminder to everyone! TODAY is our second week weigh in! Get those weights sent to me by the end of the day and I will get it posted once I have everyones.
