50 days weight loss challenge!

Hello~ This morning I did the Shaun T25 1.0 workout. It was hard and this afternoon I went for a 21 minute walk outside. I want to get more activity into my day but it is hard not to feel tied to my desk when I am at work. I need to have a better plan for my days.

I love these group challenges and reading about everyone's experiences, both struggles and successes. I've personally been super frustrated with my attempts of weight loss for the past few months. I've been eating clean as possible and exercising more than ever in my life. Still...no weight loss. Actually, I've just gained a few pounds. I'll be the first to admit, I've had a couple nights in the 6 weeks that I've probably had too many glasses of wine but as an overall picture, the lack of any results is not only disappointing, it's confusing.

I'm considering a two week Dr. Oz diet that sounds pretty simple but I'm worried that losing weight that way is only a short term fix.

I'd love to hear from anyone with a similar story or potential suggestions. Otherwise, I'm here just to read through all of your posts and soak in all of this positive energy!

I'm getting bored with my meals. What's everyone eating for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks?

Hi! Are you losing inches? Last time I lost weight on MFP I exercised a lot and I weighed more but was almost as small as I had been 15-20 pounds lighter but wasn't exercising regularly (I hope that made sense!). Please feel free to add me as a friend, we can give each other support, plus our goals are very similar. Until this past weekend I had never really looked at the forums or groups, but out of frustration and lack of motivation I started looking at them, updated my profile. I also opened my diary for friends to view because I can lie to myself about what I put into my mouth but I wouldn't lie to anyone else about it so it keeps me honest. So just by doing those few things and reading about other people's success I am super motivated again and it has shown on the scale! Yay!!

Hi everyone! I am new to MFP and love to participate in 50 days weight challenge. :flowerforyou:

Hi you all,

I'm doing 30DS.
Yesterday I started Level 2 so I took my measurements again and I'm amazed.
After Level 1 (10 days exercising and eating healthy) I have less 7,3 inches (18,5 cm) in total (neck, bust, waist, navel, hips, both thighs and both calf)!!!

Edited to say that I only lost 1,3 lbs but i feel so happy!!!

Kisses to all,
Tatyanne

Day 20 for me today - and reading your posts I'm thinking of digging out my Jillian Michaels DVD and trying to do it each day for the remaining 30 days of this challenge. It feels like a massive commitment but it could be a good way to try and keep at it!

My week hasn't been great - so I'll be pleased if I maintain - I'd like to lose 10lbs during this challenge though so I better get a move on. We have been promised thunderstorms this weekend (the NW of England) so I'm going to try and get out for a run tonight while I still can!

This morning I did the Shaun T alpha abs workout. I liked it ok. I'm planning on taking a walk later. Here's to a portion controlled healthy eating weekend! Ha!

MancLass- That's a great idea about the Jillian workouts, but remember to set achievable goals so that you are a success! I learned that when I was in WW meetings. Good Luck!

I'm in...how are you counting down?

Day 20! Hm, still managing to be lower carb and still finding that I don't feel like inhaling lots of crunchy, salty snacks in the evening. I do miss bread. I am getting a little bored in the evenings, however, as I would love nothing more than to tuck into a big bowl of popcorn (homemade, always). However, that would blow my carb count. I guess, for now, since I am feeling energized, feeling strong and not overcome with urge to inhale popcorn, I'll just keep plugging along. I hope everyone else is managing the ups and downs and staying focused!
