Saturday Weigh in on Friday ~~
At another volleyball tourney (this time in St Louis) so I wont be at a computer/scale this weekend. Since I will be sitting in the car for 6 hours today....I am heading out to power-walk my dog - she does love it when we go in the morning - no she actually loves it anytime we go walking! I have 90 minutes planned, better get going so I have time to pack!
Lost 2 pounds this week!!
4 since the beginning of this challenge!

Thanks again Stephanie and others for your great stories and support, I find myself thinking of the stories as I make my decisions, while looking for what to eat (I say NO), when choosing to push myself harder at the gym (I say YES)! It's great to do this together! Skinny is starting to taste better than food!!
Good luck everyone!

See below link of a new realilty show coming A&E. I saw it this morning on Good Morning Amercia!! It looks like it is going to be better than The Biggest Loser because they have built in time for the mental issues that plague the morbibly obese.

I hate I am going to miss it because I do not have cable TV? Does anyone know if they have their shows on line to watch?0 -
Have to check in today because I will be gone this weekend. Looking back at my entrance last time, for some reason or another I thought I was in the 100's, I only wish!
1/7/11 weight was 236.5

My weight is 182. started 180. gained 3 and lost 1lbs. Not great.

Weigh in is tomorrow...get your last chance workout in so you can meet that mini goal of burning 3500 calories! You can do it!0

I decided to work out today anyway. Burned 550 calories.. but it was kind of a rest day still. I did some walking, a little bit of strength and some stretching.
I brought my total from Saturday-today to 5555 calories (yeah, I ended up doing that on purpose.. I had 5505 and had to burn another 50 just to make it look pretty.. hehe )
But I'm not so sure I'll have a good weigh in tomorrow. I think all that exercising is making me retain water or something. I hoped on the scale today and was up a pound.. shouldn't be since I've been working so hard and staying under calories for the most part! Oh well. I checked and I've lost an inch off my waist since starting! And I'm still down at least 5 pounds. But I'll officially weigh in in the morning. Hopefully it will decide to be nicer to me.. if not, maybe it will show up for the next weigh in.0 -

I have burned somewhere in the 5000 range myself and was sick for two days but stayed below my goal everyday except one...and went over by 1000 that day. I was up 2.5 lbs...I'm hoping for the best tomorrow since that just shouldn't be but we shall see. The body does what it wants sometimes...next week it should fall away though, if not by the morning. We earned it!0 -
So, I started reading "The Secret" (a recommendation from Stephanie) oh my gosh~~~~ I can related it to SO many things in my everyday life, it is amazing! Both for positive and negative - which of course I see myself changing this all around to positive thinking.
The mind is a great thing ~ we all should utilize it more!
Thanks for the recommendation!0 -

I know I gained, but I have been doing p90x and this is my second week and everyone says that since I am breaking down my muscles that they will retain water, so I gained less than a pound but I have definately been seeing results especially on my stomach!!! As long as I like the way I look, am not worried about the scale!! So I will do what I have been doing and hopefully continue to see more results!!! Hope everyone else has a great weigh in!0 -

This challenge is helping a lot...I had to go out to eat twice yesterday (once for a meeting with my boss and the other a family dinner). Both went well and knowing I had my weigh in solidified my smart choices. I enjoyed myself but ate smart. Salmon filet on greens for lunch and a small but rich and filling chopped salad for dinner.
Feeling PMS coming on so next week might not look too pretty, but consistency is the key. I know if I'm plumped with water weight next week that if I keep doing the right things it will be gone by the end of the month and then some.
I don't mention the 3500 cal challenge because I do a 60 minute bootcamp 5 days a week. I don't own a HRM so I really don't know what I burn. I guesstimate 400 cals. My instructor tells me I'm likely burning 600, but because every day is different and I don't know I guess 400 a day. I also try to do at least one 60 minute elliptical workout a weekend. So for me, I make my goal in minutes. My goal is 360 minutes a week.0 -

Lost 1 lb this week. Sat burn-600, I burned 1900 yesterday (thought i was going to need an oxygen tank lol, I broke it up into 2 workouts one in am and one in pm) and 1000 a few days ago. This week I consumed too much sodium and I had some water bloat. Campbells soup, I thought I was doing good, no the sodium is like 900 mgs. so bad. My carbs went over a few times. This week I am committed to logging everything into MFP no matter what. So that this week I don't eat something thinking I am doing good on calories and as it turns out I am too high on sodium or carbs. I plan to do south beach phase 1 for the next two weeks to really jump start my body to lose more weight.
CHALLENGE THIS WEEK: See how easy it was for you to burn 3,500 calories in one week?? NOW TRY, 5,000 calorie burn in the next 7 days. Share with us how your doing. And tell us what your reward is going to be once you meet that 5,000 calorie burn. My reward will be a new pair of shoes. Good luck everyone!!!0 -

I weigh 354 today! I lost 6 pounds this week! Whooohoo! That gives me the 10 pounds for January already!! So I guess I am going loss more this month! YAY!!:flowerforyou:
I am going to shoot for another 10 by the 31st! If I can squeeze in a few more workouts at the gym weather permitting I can do 10 more.
Exercise and eating right is paying off. I have been exercising already but was not getting a handle on my food. Finally got a handle on the food.
Thanks you all for your support! Have a good week!! You all are doing great!!!
Good job for all of you partcipating in the challenge also!!:flowerforyou:0 -

So discouraging! I burned 5581 calories this week. A freak snow storm hit Atlanta and shut the town down for the week so I had ample time to exercise...shoveling snow for 4 hours burns a LOT of calories! I stayed under my calorie goal everyday except for one, went over by 1000 but one day I had over 1000 left after calculating exercise calories that I just couldn't eat so it should have equaled out. But instead, I gained!!!
I don;t think my body can handle 2 weeks of 5000+ calories burned. And I have to go back to work next week. I would definitely not been able to burn so many had I been at work all day every day.0 -
339.6...no love from the scale this week. I didn;t change anything I did from a week ago.....frustrating, but gonna carry one as usual. If no change this week, I need to change some things up!! Have a good weekend everybody!!0
