Jan 11 check-in

Runningcircuits · January 2014

Ok, so I apologize for yesterday's grumpiness. But I guess my scale heard me bad-mouthing him and responded. I'm glad I didn't respond to my frustration by having a Friday night drink. I was the only one in the group not participating. Your support yesterday is the reason - thank you!!

SW: 169.8
Week 1: 172.8 and 168 exercise minutes
Week 2: 172.4 and 185 exercise minutes
Week 3: 169.8 and 250 exercise minutes

Have a good week everyone!

Great work resisting Jen! Last night I skipped my Woodford too.

Although I had burned enough calories in the pool to deserve one, it just didn't feel right to have a reward drink. Plus, then I'd need a snack too and I didn't have calories free for both!

SW: 170.8
GW: 159.8

Dec 21 Week 0: n/a
Dec 28 Week 1: n/a
Jan 4 Week 2: 170.2
Jan 11 Week 3: 167.6 3,150/3,500 calories burnt on exercise

Getting back into the swing of things and had a big loss because it's my first week. I didn't quite hit my exercise goal as I wasn't able to get outside for any running due to extreme cold and lots of ice.

Hope everybody else is doing well!

Total lost during challenge: 3.2 lbs

Don't worry Jen, it's probably just water retention.

This is not a good time for a weigh in for me. I assume I will be getting my cycle in the next day or two since I always get a spike right before (my cycle is not regular since it returned, I assume because I'm breastfeeding, so at least I get a heads up this way). I actually lost a pound this week, so hopefully by next week I will be back there.
Week 1 - 174.8
Week 2 - 175.2
Week 3 - 174.6
Week 4 - 175

No exercise, still having some issues with my hip and knee. I do dance around with my son and pick him up over my head and different things. It's something. My neck is a bit better so that's good.

takerbrat · January 2014

Hey everyone, happy new year . . . sorry to be late to the party, we were out of the country for the last three weeks and I didn't always have access to technology. Super excited to be back and motivated to continue this journey to a better version of me!

Week 1, Dec 28: weight - 156.2 lbs; exercise minutes - 0/150

PS. I was successful in losing 46 lbs. before my 46th birthday (Jan.2) and now plan to compete in a National Transformation Challenge next October in Regina, SK. A big thanks to my MFPfriends for their support over the last 6 months!

AnnaZimm70 · January 2014

Congratulations to all. Super loss this week Anne and Jen! Awesome losing 46 lbs. before 46th Birthday!

Week 1: 167 lbs.
Week 2: 167.4 lbs.
Week 3: 167.6 lbs.
Week 4: 167 (back where I started

)

I actually saw 165 when I snuck a peak mid-week, but ate out last night so I am sure I am retaining some extra water. Either way, happy with the .6 lb loss this week.

meowlymary · January 2014

Last week: 169.6 (up a few) / minutes: 163
This week: 167.8 (back down to pre-holiday weight!) / minutes: 192

I think MFP tracks minutes from Monday-Sunday, but since we check in on Saturday, I guess I should be doing Sunday-Saturday, right? If that's the case I did even more minutes - it was a good work out week. I start my internship full time next week so I won't have as much flexibility, wish me luck!

Good job everyone!

Hi everyone

,

Cheers :drinker: to another week done :bigsmile: ...

SW 119 lbs...
GW 110 lbs...

12/21 - Week 1: 119 lbs - Exercise 0/150 minutes (sick) :sick:
12/28 - Week 2: 119 lbs - Exercise 0/150 minutes (sick) :sick:
01/04 - Week 3: 119 lbs - Exercise 0/150 minutes (sick) :sick:

I have been sick for a while, but I'm a lot better now and I have been doing 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels

... It's been a challenge for me because she is no joke and I find myself modifying a few of the exercises, but I'm hanging in there and slowly but shortly I will improved... Today was my 4th day of 30 and I felt stronger and with more energy, hopefully I'll get better as the days go by :glasses:... Even though I have not lost any weight I'm happy because I have not gained any either :bigsmile: , hopefully with the little work that I'm doing I can start losing weight again :laugh: ...

Thanks a bunch for all your support and encouragement :blushing: ...

Taking a step at a time to reach my goal always :flowerforyou: ...

Hi

I am a wee bit behind with the check in dates having been out of the country and still trying to get over jetlag on my return, but next week should see that finally settle down! I am back to exercising, just need to knuckle down on the sensible eating again.

SW 84.1 kg
CW 83.8 kg

Exercise minutes this week: 150 minutes
Doing better on the cutting down diet coke - gone to one can every couple of days, with a view to cutting it out completely by the end of this challenge.

Here's to next week!

tugten · January 2014

Congrats to everyone keeping this group going. You guys are doing great. It's so important for me to keep being accountable even if I am not losing right now.

Back to a more normal eating pattern for me and must now get that walking back on track . I got on and off the scale 10 times this morning hoping it would register one little pound but not yet.

SW (this challenge) 153 pounds
CW 152 pounds

NO loss this week.

Exercise. 120 minutes
