14 Weeks to Christmas Challenge!!

Firstly, bikinimission, I hope you are doing okay and feeling better after your car accident. *hugs*


WEIGHT WEEK 1: 134.2
WEIGHT WEEK 2: 133.2 (Yay, I'm happy for 1 pound since I am at my last 10 and its so hard to get the scale to move!)
AIM FOR WEEK 3: 132.2
WHETHER YOU MANAGED TO DO 50 EXTRA SIT UPS PER DAY IN WEEK 2.
I was sick all week with a fever and strep throat, so I just started doing the 50 situps a few days ago. I will continue doing 50 situps until I reach my goal since I love it, and its quick and easy! I eventually want to get up to 100 crunches a day and that is my goal for next week as well!

For this weeks challenge, I actually found my old Bodies in Motion DVD yesterday while I was doing my crunches, so I will do that every day for a week, in addition to my 45 mins of cardio a day.

I havent yet seen 132 since I gained this weight so here hoping that my efforts this week and rewarded next weigh in!

Just checking in now...

My week 2 went horribly wrong i'm afraid I've stayed the same weight, and was unable to do my sit ups due to back problems... turns out I've dislodged a vertebrae and damaged the ligaments :ohwell:

Location: Phenix City, AL US
I like: being with family and friends
I don't like: squash
Current typical or usual exercise: elliptical
Current Starting Weight: 175 lbs
Aim for next week: 173 lbs
Personal 14 week Goal: 150 lbs

Hellloooooooo everyone! :drinker: It Friday! :drinker:

So what are we all doing as our "different exercise" this week!? I'm thinking of doing the following:-

Body Pump
Body Combat
Body ATTACK (scary!)
The Rowing challenge
Pilates

I'm going to get in the gym over the weekend and next Monday and Tuesday and give a couple of these a go!

Hope you're all doing well!

Have a great weekend! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

tried the cardio dvd from P90x last night. It was fun- a little mix of everything!

Great board - wish I could get some of my female friends to tune it.
This week I'll be replacing ALL 4 cardio/rest days of P90X with YOGA!!!
I'm a true believer in it being the fountain of youth. My 7 yr old tells people (strangers even!) "I,m 92 years old - but I do lots of Yoga!"
Kids man... they find a way of twisting everything you teach 'em

Everyone starts posting their updates on Tuesday and Wednesday

Hello, everyone! Sorry I've been MIA. A little over a week ago a friend's husband died in a car accident right in front of their house. The whole family was home and I later found out his parents live next door and also heard the accident. It is a truly horrible situation.
But I'm back and proud that I didn't deal with my grief by binging though maybe I did eat ice cream a couple times that I shouldn't have. Here's my update on the Christmas Challenge:

WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 270
AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 267
WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK OF SIT UPS IN WEEK 2? No, I managed for 3 days, but was dealing with the previously mentioned situation.
WHETHER YOU TRIED A NEW WORKOUT IN WEEK 3?: Yes, though I've done kickboxing before, I'd never done any boxing with a heavy bag which is what I did on Saturday and I LOVE it! I wish I had somewhere in my one bedroom apartment to hang one, but I think I'll be getting some boxing gloves and try one of the boxing classes at my gym.

GOAL FOR CHRISTMAS: Around 240-245

Sorry to hear that you have been through this. Sending massive hugs your way xxx

Hi all. I joined the group when it first started, but then I kinda forgot about updating my info, so I'm getting all caught up now, and will stay on top of it from now forward.....

Starting weight for Christmas Challenge: 208.8 lbs (as of 09/15 but started challenge on 09/18)

Week 1: GW (for 09/21): 206.5 Actual weight: 207 (-1.8)

Week 2: GW (for 09/28): 205 Actual weight: 206 (-1)

Thanks!! :happy:

Here's my weekly information

SW: 246.9
Week 1 Goal: 245.0, Actual: 245.4 (-1.5), Challenge Met: Yes, No Chocolate for 1 week
Week 2 Goal: 243.4, Actual: 244.1 (-1.3), Challenge Met: No, Missed 3 days of crunches
Week 3 Goal: 242.1, Actual: 245.2 (+1.2), Challenge Met: Yes, New Exercise was hiking
Week 4 Goal: 244.1

The only thing I can say in defense of myself is TOM is due anytime now. I've eaten relatively well (a few days with a few bad things, but not overall bad) and my calories in for the week were equal to my maintenance less 1000 calories. My water hasn't been over the top, but it hasn't been bad either. If it is going to hit any day, I'm hoping to not gain anymore and lose a little to put me back at last week's weight.
