I am not discouraged by my loss this week. I started ChaLEAN Extreme and my muscles are very sore. Sore muscles mean water retention. Hoping next week is a little bit bigger number.0 -
Weight the same as last week 157.0

1/2 lb loss this week. Still doing 30DS and I think its effecting my weight loss, but I am losing inches everywhere!0

Lost .4 lbs. this week. Have 6.6 lbs to get to my ultimate goal weight. Don't know if I'll get there by Christmas because of Thanksgiviing, holiday parties and my son is having surgery in December and will be in the hospital for 4 days. Gonna try to eat healthy and get all my workouts in. I did a great body sculpt class last week and I'm still sore from it! Today is my rest day so all I'll do is walk the dog. Good luck everybody!0

I have been away for about 4 days, doing the college open houses with my last child! it has been a emotional few days..although it seems like I've walked every campus in Georgia at least twice..I gained instead of lost ? 175 was my weight when I got in last night! I'm going to check it again tomarrow morning...and here I though I was eating good..oh well! I started a work out from my cable company so I'll see if that helps...good luck everyone! and hang in there0

Something you might want to consider doing is uploading the excel worksheet to google documents and then invite people to come and view it. That way all you have to post is a link and not worry about formatting for the boards
I will give this a try and see if I can link the page. Thanks for the idea
Welcome to the group0 -
I'm with you. Ha, I fell off the wagon and put some back on. Up to 229 now. But I'm going back to the gym. Goal is 215 by Christmas.0

Starting weight 173
Goal for Xmas 163
week 1 -170.2
week 2- 168.8
week 3- 170.2 (Bloated, but so thankful that I didn't gain my usual 3-4 lbs. I think the consistent exercise has reduced it)
Sorry I was late with posting my weight.0 -

Its such a good feeling when your "low" weight becomes you "high/PMS" weight. Don't worry about posting late I will get the info into the chart.0 -
Looks like last week was slow with the weight loss. Lets try for better numbers this week.
How is everyone doing with getting 210 min of exercise in? I still have 150 mins to go. I plan on doing Zumba tonight and to work ou 60 min on friday, so I just need to fit in 30 more min0 -
I'm glad that I've gone back in the gym this week. I can see 138 on the scale on Monday. I'm going to push myself hard for the remainder of this week and even get in the gym on Saturday for Body Combat. I want to be below 140 before Thanksgiving and that should help me reach my goal by Christmas.
Today I did a 5K on the treadmill at the gym.0 -
Exercise-wise I'm doing great. Got in 80 minutes on Monday and 95 minutes today so I'm up to 175 already. I'm not counting my 3 1/2 hours of golf or the practice range in my total. I count the calories because it's better than sitting in front of this computer but it's not really exercise. Now, when I play on Friday and I walk 18 holes, I'll probably count that! I plan to do a 5 mile walk/run interval session tomorrow and that takes about an hour so that coupled with some abs. will get me to the 210 mark. Weight is creeping up though, have to work on de-stressing, getting in more water and watch the portions.0

I know what you mean.. When did life get this complicated? It seems like it is always something. :ohwell:
I feel like I am doing better now than I would have done in the past. As far as stressing and still watching what I eat and getting exercise in.0 -
Starting Weight: 274.5
Goal Weight for this Challenge: 260
Goal Weight: 168
Hi I'd like to join in ,just restarted my weight loss plan after falling off the wagon,lost 46 ibs and managed to put on 14lbs while I was away!!! so I need a boost.
Good luck everyone.0 -
Hi I'm putting my weight for the 19th as 164 - 8 to go.0

Ok so it is Friday/ weigh in day.
I think this week we need to change up the exercise goal. Lets try and burn 2,000 calories this week, gooble gooble.
Also I would like eveyone to post a holiday eating tip if they have one.
Opt for the pumpkin pie without crust over the pecan pie, you will save yourself a TON of calories.0 -
I weighed in this morning and i'm currently 152lbs, so a 1lb weight loss.
I get up every morning at 6 to do the 30 day shred, then I walk my girls to school (20 mins) and go to work and run home most nights (3 miles or 22 mins running). I'm not losing as much as I would like, but the loss of inches (-2.5 off my waist) is a great boost.
I'm beginning to think that meeting my xmas target is possible.
Thanks for setting up this challenge, its really motivating.0 -
Lost 3 lbs this week WAHOO!!! 156 today
2000 cals for exercise is a great goal for the week. I hope to crush that number. Our local Y is having a "Burn the Bird" event on Black Friday and will be offering back to back classes for 3 hrs. I will be teaching for an hour and a half, there's at least a 1000 + cals on just that day
My tip for the holidays is GET THE JUNK OUT OF THE HOUSE. If you feel the urge to make 3 doz cookies, share them with your neighbors family and friends. Left over mashed potatos & gravy or pies need to go home with someone else. Make sure the ONE thing that is your most favorite cant resist item, is taken out the door after dinner. And most importantly, if you do indulge a little more than you planned, don't beat yourself up about it. Mentally berating yourself will only make you feel worse, which never helped anyone get back to their fitness program. So if you happen to gain that one extra pound this holiday season, be part of the rare group who actually follows through with their New Year's resolution and manages to shed it again.
Best of luck everyone!0 -
My scale is still saying 140lbs but I have a goal of eating only fruits, veggies, and whole grain carbs all weekend. Maybe some lean cuts of meat. I want to see 138 by Monday.0
-
I am weighing in today (November 19th) at 137. Down one pound from last week! Holiday eating tip would be take a little bit of anything you want (try to choose more lean proteins and vegetables then carbs) and commit to not going back for seconds. Because it's the holidays I don't mind indulging in very small amounts, as long as I know when to cut myself off! Eat slowly and STOP when you're full. And have dessert but be conscious of your portion and do not go back for seconds.0

202.3 I am doing a happy dance..... almost below 200.0
-
157 again this morning:( no change.0
-
226 still the same this week and I am praying I don't find friends next week, Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!!0
-
Checking in, I lost 2 lbs. this week and am in the 130's for the first time in almost 10 years!!!! I've only got 4.8 lbs. to hit my goal weight. Plan to workout really hard this week and eat right and enjoy Thanksgiving like a skinny person does!0
-
Good Afternoon, my weight is still the same. Help I think I've plateaued.0
-
well, I went to look at your diary to see what's been going in your mouth and there's nothing there! Girl, you're not eating enough:laugh: Seriously, take a look at what you have been eating both from a quantity standpoint and a quality standpoint (I so have NO room to talk about this right now!). Compare that to your exercise. It may be that you need to mix things up a little bit. Eat different things, do a different workout, something along those lines. Up the water consumption to try to move things along and flush out any extra salt. Do your logging again, I so easily get off track when I don't log and it may be that simple. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving-I must go start cooking right now!0

Well happy Friday to everyone. How was everyones thanksgiving?
I went shopping and bought myself new scale that has a bmi reader. Black friday shpping is scary...
So on the new scale I am 202, with a bmi of 29%, which is only just overweight and no logger obese.0 -
Considering all the fun things I knew I would be eating yesterday I weighed in yesterday morning....at 156. No loss this week, but that's okay. I burned over 2000 cals in exercise this week and I'm about to head out for a 3 hour cardio session!!
I'm 3 weeks into ChaLEAN Extreme and I feel smaller. I will do measurements at the end of my first 30 days and I'm hoping to see great things!!
Staying positive about the process and knowing that as long as I continue to do good things for my body, my body will do good things for me!!0
