30 Pounds By Christmas? 10wks. Start 10/18 JOIN!

I'm in as well. Took 2nd place in the biggest loser challenge at work last spring, gained 10 of it back. My dad had a heartattack at age 55 just last week. What an awakening. I'm only 10lbs lighter than him.

Starting weight 282.0
Starting the week behind, but Monday 10/25 goal 278.0
Goal by X-mas 252.0

I'm IN!!!!! I was down to 164 last year in April and now I back up to 184. Boooooooooooooo!!

Now: 184.5
X-mas: 154.5

I will send you a friend request.... I had my nutrionist friend help me set my cals/protien/fat and carbs last year but I still have trouble finding foods that make me happy and full, etc... like today, I am way under my cals, but I can't think of another thing to eat!!

Thanks for starting this!

Hey checking in with all of yalls!

So today I didn't have breakfast (shame shame I know) But I did have a healthy snack,which I was surprised! Im not usually the best with snacks! Lots of protein in my meals today, which is good because I WORKED IT PEOPLE! haha

I did a spin class at my gym for 50 minutes and didnt stop! Then right after that I did ZUMBA for an hour. People if you havent done a Zumba class yet, DO IT! All I can at the moment lol

Those classes had me DRENCHED in sweat, not the cutest look but, as you all know, it'll be worth it! So I was well hydrated. More than 10 cups maybe 15 or so.

And after all that I was Waaaaay under my calorie goal. So I had been craving something sweet. Got me some Skinny Cow ice cream. Had a few bites and was satisfied

Good day. Cant wait to get tomorrows challenge down.

LOVING this site at the moment
Hope you all are having a good day/week

I just joined this site. I would like to join your challenge. What do I do next?

Hey,

I think you just want to put down your starting weight and post what the goal weight would be....30LBS LESS WOOT WOOT!

And it looks like there's is going to be a challenge every day that you should do to help you along the way.
Today we had to just dance for 10mins during our day.

The main rules/challenges (how ever you look at it is):
Drink 10 glasses of water a day
Be UNDER your calorie goal for the day.

Hope this helps!

Wednesday 10/20 challenge results:

water: check!
under calories: Check!
45 minutes of exercise: Today was my rest day but I did walk around campus for about 25 minutes.
10 minutes of dance: nope. I feel like a dork if I try to dance.

Man - you guys are killin' me! Was SO going to take today off....(ran a 5k last night even with 60% chance of rain AND no clean sports bra.....sorry TMI).....and I'm running a 5k Sat BUT I want to keep up, so will try to walk the pooch for a bit tonight as my cardio. Does doing 4 loads of laundry count for exercise??

Already on cup 6 of water, banana for breakfast and quaker rice snacks mid-morning....they are sooooooo good!

Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are a MUST! Another good food is Laughing Cow cheese wedges - only 35 calories!!! So yummy!

Good job everyone!

Hi everyone - happy Thursday.

Thurs. Challenge:
I had a big workout session today: 60 min of cardio and 40 min of weight training and physio. The cardio was at a low to moderate pace - still recovering from injuries!

I'm not even close on my water intake. I still have half my water to go. Going to fill up my large glass right now.

I should be under my calories today.

I'm thinking of giving up alcohol until Christmas. I love wine and my social life seems to revolve around cocktail parties and pub nights, so this is no small thing. Still, last year I experimented for 4 months with ZERO alcohol and dropped weight. My friends were convinced that I was pregnant LOL. *sigh* I don't want to do it, but I DO want to get back on track with my fitness and weight goals.

Ok People...

Challenge for THURSDAY

10/21

Exercise for 50 minutes! (yes, I'm raising the bar slowly!)

10 glasses of Water

Under calorie goal

Have a healthy dinner with family or friends. Explain your new challenge for yourself. Ask them to encourage you! Also, ask if they would like to join you for exercise and eating healthy.

Make sure to post your results here! I would love it if we could inspire our friends and loved ones! How cool would that be?
We would be good examples for our children, spouses, parents, friends, EVERYONE! That would make me feel so good!

Can't wait to hear all your success!

Much love and support!

WE CAN DO THIS!!

HUGS!

Checking in before work:

70 minutes of exercise
Water check
Will be under my calorie goal for the day
I won't be eating dinner with friends/family but I am having Salmon, applesauce and baby carrots for dinner. My coworkers are all pretty health conscious so we discuss a lot of nutrition related content at work.
