50 days weight loss challenge!

I am in July 15th is my 1 yea anniversary and i been up and down, i'll work out lose weight get lazy or sidetracked and back to the start, but im so tired of hating my body. LETS DO THIS

I'm in! This is great and we should all keep each other in check.

I'm completely in! I gained weight at my last job, and I'd love to partake! Excitement!

Day 18 for me; Monday and Tuesday became rest days as I got so tied up at work; I was disappointed to miss the gym and my eating started to slip. But it didn't go completely haywire so I'm going to celebrate that!

Fabulousmo, today I had Greek yoghurt with blueberries & raspberries and organic muesli for breakfast; then aromatic chicken soup, granary bread and mango for lunch. Will probably have smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for evening meal - AFTER - the gym!!

Hope everyone else is doing OK.

The above message was meant for Jaleados:) I tried to reply directly to her post but my message was posted separately from hers, is that just the way replies to messages work or did I do something wrong?

Hi fabulousmo! This morning (as most mornings) I had steel cut oatmeal with frozen wild blueberries and almond butter and I add a cup of green tea. I eat a lot of the same things and it does get boring. I have been adding in a grande skinny mocha from SBUX for fun!

This morning I did the Shaun T25 Total Body Workout. It was hard. I did the best that I could. I was sweating heavily and out of breath, but I wonder if that is because it is so much warmer now:laugh: .

I just got back from a 24 minute walk around my office park. What does everyone else have going on?

Happy Day! I'm back to my weight before I went to California! My friend said that she does not weigh herself the day following a flight because of water retention, etc. I have to agree with her, but I have worked out every day this week and I'm back to healthy eating, so I'm going to give me some credit too :-)

This morning I did 1/2 of the Jari Love DVD Ripped & Chiseled workout. I focused on lower body training. I like working out with Jari, she is very motivational.

Tatyanne- I've done 30 day shred with Jillian. She is really great too. Good for you for going strong for 10 days. You will look great after 10 days of level 2!!.

Have a great day!

I'm all in too! And I will try the app for the counting down sounds great! I am attending a family wedding in September and need to be healthier,

I'm about 12 lbs down in 20 days! I am aiming for 23 total, so 11 more to go with 30 days left. Do-able??
I'm still hula hooping like mad and dropping inches.

Day 22 for me. I stayed the same this week - bit of a bummer but I'm not going to let this derail me. So this week needs to see me re-focussed and finding my mojo!! I've got an open water swim next weekend in the Lake District - it should be fun, there are thousands and thousands of folk doing it. We are going there for a few days so I need to make sure it's a positive experience, good food, fun and lots of activity - rather than a pigging out event with a bit of swimming and not much else!!

The low carb reports are interesting eskimite......I still eat quite a few carbs, not as much as I used to but probably too many. I need to think about looking into this more. Perhaps something to do when this challenge is over?

The messages have gone quiet, I imagine a few of us have given up......but where I am right now there are 28 days left. That's 4 weeks - perhaps there's the opportunity for a 4 week blast at the end?????????

does anyone believe that the body will eventually get to a happy weight and that's what you're destined to be despite dieting and exercise? i feel like my body wants to be around 150 lbs. i would like to be 140 lbs at the most. i feel like it's going to take a lot of time, sacrifice, denial, and effort to drop these last 10 pounds (which will be totally worth it) but when i finally get there, how can i convince my body that that is its new "set point"? we don't eat a lot of crap around here! my husband is fit, and our daughter doesn't like to eat junk either...so i'm in an environment where there are no temptation foods lying around. i don't think i can live out the rest of my life in such severe restriction just to maintain that high school weight of 140. we are foodies. we like to cook. we make many of the things that most people buy. sorry. whine whine. complain complain. i know that there are many others who have loads more to drop and i should probably be happy with where i am, but it's frustrating to look at pictures of myself and see the extra pounds there. i'm healthy, i should be happy. i'm 42, in perimenopause, and have hypothyroidism, but do not see these as barriers to weight loss.

I am soooooo frustrated!!! I have been stuck for weeks and nothing is happening. No weight coming off, no inches coming off and I'm getting ready to throw the scale at a wall. No, I'm not relying only on the scale, but nothing else is happening either. I continue to exercise, eat within range, and drink my water to no avail. If I can't get past the stupid number 200, how am I supposed to think I can make it to a normal weight?
Just really royally pissed off.

Well slow and steady does it. I'm finally down 3 lbs. My biggest downfalls are the weekends, I end up gaining the weight I lost and then I have to kick butt over the next week to get back to where I was. I hope everyone else is doing well and I hope people come back to our group. :flowerforyou:

Hey FlyersGirlrc- you maintained and that in and of itself is a victory!
