14 Weeks to Christmas Challenge!!

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 169.5 only lost half a pound
AIM FOR NEXT NEXT WEEK: 168
FULL WEEK W/O CHOCOLATE? Yes, except last night I did have a Reese's Mini Peanut Butter cup. Why did I fail? I'm not sure. Peanut butter cups are my favourite and when my husband passed me one, I just ate it without thinking. I stopped at one though.

Looking forward to the challenge next week. I'm heading out East tomorrow to visit my parents and am worried that 3 weeks of vacation won't help my diet. 50 bicycle crunches a day will remind me to stay on track, I hope!

Location: Vermont, USA
I like: Hiking, reading, family time, Disney World, walks with my hubby
I don't like: fish, negative people, fat days
Current typical or usual exercise: walking-3 miles five days a week
Current Starting Weight: I am going to focus on how I feel...when I focus on the scale I get depressed and go backward
Aim for next week: exercise and log food for 6 days
Personal 14 week Goal: Size 20 jeans

I missed week one but am all about week two!!!! 50 crunches here I come!!!

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 260
AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 258

WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! Well I did if it ran from monday to saturday. For me Sunday is my cheat day and so I had some chocolate in the evening as it's the only day of the week I get to eat anything remotely unhealthy! xxx

Happy middle of the week everyone! (hump day!) :drinker:

Ok so here goes, I am so happy! Yay!

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 151 :drinker:
AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 150 :flowerforyou:
WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! - I did totally apart from a Final Spanish Speaking exam - my boyfriend went and bought me a small Galaxy bar last Thursday as a treat for afterwards :embarassed: and my equipment failed and I missed my allocated exam time and had to do it later in the evening and I was so upset and shaking that I ate the galaxy when I had finished without really thinking! BUT normally I'd have eaten lots of evil chocolate biscuits and work and when I went for a walk on Sunday I'd have eaten choccies, so it's progress and as penance for my slip I am doing the sit ups and chocolate again this week! Woo hoo!

Hello Everyone!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

I'm happy to report that I reached my goal this week!! Although not as easy as I expected. :frown:
I'm at 7.8 today!!
So 1lb lost!! :happy:
Next weeks goal is to maintain... This will be tricky as I'm on holiday as from Sunday and will have to eat out a lot and also I don't know if there will be a scale at the hotel? Maybe they'll have one in the gym? Might have trouble weighing in.
Either way I'll do my best and stick to a pretty strict eating plan and keep within my calorie allowance.
Chocolate... I managed to resist the diabetic chocolate completely. :bigsmile:
I have not had a single piece. BUT I did have a home made chocolate flavoured protein shake and an Atkins day break bar with chocolate chips :grumble: Time was short and had to eat something :noway:
I have been doing Atkins for a few weeks so I have been very limited in my treats :sad: - no biscuits, cakes, ice cream or sweets so the sugar free chocolate was a big one to stop!!
But I managed it and only 2 little slips up, so I think I did OK-ish!! :huh:
I'm going to carry on with the no chocolate rule until Sunday when were on holiday, minimum.
I'm hoping to pretty much banish 'real' chocolate from my diet, Its been nearly a month as I've done a detox, then 2.5 weeks of Atkins and now I'm doing another detox, then none till Sunday minimum.
To be honest I'm not missing real chocolate now, I've kind of got it out of my system but I do love chocolate flavoured things.
I'll try to only eat diabetic chocolate from now on.
I'm also giving up biscuits, except my oat ginger biscuits, which are super low cals and one with a cup of tea is a good tool for me to have (only 55cals) and can really hold me till the next meal.
So this is my aim, not just this week but as part of my maintenance plan.
This week I will do an extra 50 sit ups every night. I love sit ups and will enjoy this challenge.
To make it harder for me I'll do 2 minutes non stop sit ups, I can do about 100 in a minute, this should make it tougher for me as 50 will be too easy. There is no point in me challenging myself to something that's too easy, no challenge at all!! But 2 minutes without stopping will get me burning!! So this will be my challenge this week.

It's so cool to read everyone's progress and see SO many people focusing on their goals and trying their best, just think how many calories we have save collectively this week!! I also think it's great that we're planning this far ahead, normally people plan for Christmas parties only with a few weeks to go, but this way we can really get in shape. Thanks again to Bikini Mission and Mimi for setting this up xxx
What a Fabulous idea xxxx :flowerforyou:

Good luck to everyone xxx
WE CAN DO THIS!!!

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 201.5
AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 200

I am hoping what I gained is muscle since I have been working out more and walking over 4 miles a day.
I haven't cheated so it must be that or not enough water, I do drink over 64 oz .:drinker:

I can not do sit ups or crunches as I have neck issues BUT I will do extra leg lifts. I did not have any
chocolate as I do not like it..that is right the only female on the planet that doesn't like chocolate!!! So I
did a challange of NO CANDY instead.
Good Luck everyone!!

Ok here's my update:

My goal was 1lb and I was so close but not a full pound.

Starting weight: 172

Todays weight: 171.4 (darn those 4 ounces!)

Next weeks goal: 170 and gosh darn it I will hit it!!!

I knocked out my 50 sit ups today and let me tell you, that last set of 10 was HARD!

Can I still join this challenge? Please let me know.
