Yay! People seem to be checking in on here!
Ok...check in for the day.
Ate crappy food, but stayed under calorie goal!
9 glasses of water so far and I will be up for about 3 more hours, so I will get that in.
60 minutes at the gym...treadmill, weights, racquetball..
Oh, and played outside today with my little boy. He LOVES outside. He cries to go out! I've been taking him outside everyday, but I'm sad to see winter just around the corner! wahhh....
Plus, lots of work around the house today. Tomorrow is my B-Day, but I will be at a Church Fall Festival for 7 hours!!! I am kind of the leader of the whole thing... and I'm running the Men's Chili-cook off booth! Whew... it will be a long day.. Plus, I'm getting ready for a camping trip my hubby and I are taking Monday through Wednesday. (This is kind of my B-day celebration..) I'm so excited that I will be logging hiking for exercise for those days! :0)
For tomorrow::: 10 glasses water, Under calories, 50 minutes exercise, Game plan to De-candy your house after Halloween! We must prevent self-sabotage!
HUGS to you all!0 -

Found it too. I was lazy and ate BK for dinner. So totally didn't feel like cooking at all. It was a lazy day but still managed to burn 400 calories. I really need to add some sort of strength training to my routine. I bed I would lose more if I did that. Water is my other thing...I hardly drink any during the day.
I'm looking forward to taking this challenge on! Would love to lost as close to 30 pounds as possible. I want to surprise the heck out of my husband on R&R

Wow! I'd love to lose 30 lbs by Christmas, but is that possible? It just seems like a lot of weight in a short amount of time. After reading the posts to this thread, I believe it is possible for ya'll because of all the excercise time you log. Good for you!! I'm not sure if I can do it, though. I don't excercise as much, although I do it daily. My original goal was to lose 20lbs...get to 130lb. Not sure if my curvy figure is meant to go as low as 120lb. I was 118lb when I was 19, but I'm 40 now and have had 4 pregnancies. Some things aren't going anywhere no matter how much I diet and excercise (unless I go under the scalpel...ugh!)
Well, there's no harm in trying! My hat's in the ring!

You are definitely welcome to join us! And it's ok if your goal isn't as large as ours. We are a highly motivational group! Can't wait to work with you. Add me as a friend, I'm kind of the person who started this whole thing. We have daily challenges I post if you are interested. They aren't required, but it gives us something to aim for.
Also, we do weigh ins on Mondays. This Monday will be our first weigh in after doing this for a week!
HUGS!! I'm here for support!

Thank you thank you!! I hope to see about 6 or 8 pounds this week...(keep your fingers crossed for me!!) I know that's not a realistic goal for weeks to come, but with so much weight to lose and such a DRAMATIC difference in my life this week, I think its possible!
I can't wait to see everyone's results!

If you saw my comment to your wall post about the thread being locked, you will see the site automatically created a part 2. Since more people are responding on this new thread you created, I posted the link to it on the other one so people can hopefully find us one way or another!
Anyway, I'll repeat what I originally posted on the other part 2...
I started out the morning going to a one hour "Stretching and Strengthening" class, which is basically yoga. I've never done it before, and it surprised me that I worked up a sweat! I am definitely out of shape and not flexible at all! It was fun though.
As of right now, I am over my calories, but I have plenty of housework to do this evening, or I may do some exercise tv! I'll have my water in by the end of the day too, but I didn't "play" outside today.
It's great to hear how everyone is doing so far! Keep it up!

hey everyone!
how was your week?
mine was ok. got the blues on wednesday but have managed to stay on diet (today i had extra help since the hospital kept me too busy to eat). I lost 1 lb this past week and hopefully can keep on track tomorrow with going to see friends. If i can get up early enough i will go for a run.
Hope everyone else is having a great week and can't wait to see how others are doing!0 -
The week has been pretty great - under calories all week, but the weekend is here - Yikes! The chili-cheese fries at the baseball field are fab in the worst possible way.
I will stay motivated because I know you all would too.
Have a great weekend everyone!0 -
Does anyone else beat themselves up about not being able to head the the gym today? Or any day?
I didnt get a chance to go today with work, and taking care of Halloween prep
It seems to be all I think about that day.
Then I start to think about weighing in on Monday, how its not going to look good. I'm not going to be satisfied with the results.
And its not like I'm looking to go throw in the towel. I just get DOWN on myself.
I know, I know. Shame on me
Just wondering what anyone else has to say about this sort of feeling!
you all my 30/Xmas Pals. 0 -
Found it! I am so po'ed @ myself today. I gave into some cravings, but still under my calorie goal. Still ate 100 more than I wanted
I sure hope it doesn't bite me in the butt. I've been doing so great. I can do this. I am so sore from walking everyday....any suggestions? Do I continue to walk or do it every other day? I've just been pushing through the pain hoping it will go away.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm looking forward to actually weighing in 0 -
I had a good day today. Drank 14 glasses of water, walked for 30 mionutes and rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes. I rode while I watched the rangers play. I guess I was so excited about the game that I pedaled faster than usual b/c I rode half a mile farther than usual. I was also under my calorie goal for the day! Weekends are always the hardest for me, so I really need to focus on drinking all my water and getting all my exercise in. Hope everyone has a fantastic night!0

KEEP MOVING!!! Here are my top suggestions to help with the soreness:
1. Stretching!! You MUST stretch. (it helps move the lactic acid (Stuff that makes you sore) out of the muscles!) Do it after walking about 5 minutes... warm muscles stretch better....and then after the workout again
2. Ibuprofen or another anti-inflammatory... (Only use until your body gets used to this new routine)\\
3. Banannas! Potassium rich foods are supposed to help reduce the amount of lactic acid produced.
4. If you are in so much pain that it's unbareable, of course take it easy, and don't harm yourself! :flowerforyou: A seriousl injury could set you further back than taking a day off.
5. Change activity to something a little lower impact. For instance, Yoga or Swimming?? Don't know if you have access to those activities.
6. It will go away! Your body is in SHOCK right now. Keep moving and it will become easier! :drinker:0 -
I want to give this a try... It will help keep me motivated to stay plan... so lets see... today went very well... I did 30 min of circuit training. And I found out I hit my 10% weight loss goal yesterday... I started this week off at 263 I believe so 30 lbs would be 233 or so... As for the water I have drank about 8 cups and still drinking, I have been very thirsty today....
Have a wonderful night0 -
Hey everybody! I think I will give this a try, too! I need all the help I can get!!! Today was great! I ate well & stayed under my calorie goal, I have exercised for a total of an hour today, and I had 12 glasses of water! I started this week off at 200 lbs, so, 30 lbs by Christmas would be 170-what an awesome Christmas present to me!! I got the best Christmas gift in 2008-my son, and what better way to show him how much I love him and myself than by getting back down to my pre-pregnancy weight! Love this challenge!!! Let's do it!!!! 0

I haven't done well this week. We travelled 12.5 hours by car on Monday and I spent the rest of the week in a hotel room. My husband was attending a work related seminar and I was left without a car each day. I was so excited because I planned on doing some serious walking while I explored the area. It turned out that we were situated in an area of the town that had 6 lanes of fast moving traffic and no sidewalks
To say the least....my diet and exercise were not good at all this week.
One positive thing was realizing how accustomed I have become to exercising on a regular basis. So much so, that I found myself in our hotel bathroom with my ipod and headset dancing at 2am. Ha ha...I don't normally dance in restrooms, but I was doing my best not to wake up my husband
Well, we are now visiting my family for a week and I sure hope some of them like walking because I'm definitely going to get in some calorie burning And I will plan for and pack food for our return trip (15 hr.s by car),
Anyway, I just wanted to check in with everyone. Will touch base soon...and wishing the best of luck to everyone :drinker:

That would be the best Christmas present ever. I would hit my target! I'm in.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." But don't stop there. Faith, without hard work and dieting, is wishful thinking. Keep the faith!0 -
I just found this thread and would love to join too! I was using MFP on a regular basis before and it really helped me lose 25 lbs, I've gained some of it back now and need to get back on track. I weighed 203 last week, I'm ready to work hard & I really hope I can be 173 in time for Christmas! 0

Found you all again! I was on target with my calories, only got 20 minutes of exercise in due to working a 16 hour shift today. Did get all the water plus more in. I really liked my food today it helped me stay full. It is always easier when not at home with a full fridge calling your name. Going for an hour walk at 8 am on Saturday. We all most have one week behind us so lets push thru this week end and see what monday brings!0

I did pretty good with yesterday's challenges: I only logged 30 minutes of exercise, but I walked all over town to run my errands, so I think that would have put me over 50 minutes. I don't know if walking through the park counts as "playing outside", but I'm counting it! I'm not doing so hot with the water. I don't know why, but I"m having a hard time getting my water in, which I usually don't. Guess it is just getting back in the habit.
Tonight we are going to a cocktail party. Oh man. I don't know how I'm going to stay strong. I'm going to have to plan a filling dinner and lots of water and keep my hands occupied with club soda and lime!0
