Good morning!! This group is definitely one of my motivations- thank you so much alexrichaa for starting it!
I've stuck to it, and also determined to get to my goal my Christmas! Very happy by how this week has gone, and looking forward to week 2 and getting even further along in our countdown to Christmas.
I've already noticed differences (been doing this since Monday, so 5 days), but I imagine this is mostly do to with water loss rather than weight. Am going to only weigh myself on Monday 15 September, so some of the fluctuation will have settled down. Hate the ups and downs of looking at a scale, both literally and figuratively!
In any case my mini-goals for today are to not eat any chocolate and to rest/sleep. Also keep within my calorie count and drink my water as usual.
Thanks!

I'm doing great so far today!
Last night I used the scale to measure how much I was eating. Some things I was low on, like what I thought was 4oz of chicken was actually only 3oz. But when I spooned pasta on my plate...oh boy...one serving was not what I thought it was, I had to cut it in half. But I had some baked zuchini and summer squash and chopped tomatoes with a bit of feta. And I weighed everything so the calories were accurate. The main problem I had was finding entries that were listed by weight...so I had to look up the calories and pick the best ones, but I'll fix it today to make it more accurate, maybe make my own entries.
Plus, I actually got up at 4am and did a 20 minute workout! wasn't as bad as I thought it was I'm working late tonight so won't be able to work out in the evening like usual, so that was a great way to start the day.
The only downside so far...is I'm already hungry from eating breakfast so early....I may have to get a snack before lunch, but at least I'll have the calories to play with now.
Dinner is also going to be a challenge. I'm likely to pick up some fast food for myself, so I'm going to have to research my options so I don't go over calorie wise.
Other than that, keep on keeping on...0 -
I did pretty well yesterday. I bit over on carbs, and a bit under on Protein. Today will be tough. No workout today, and no lunch due to meetings. I will be under on the right areas, but under on protein too. I'll need to find a nice carb free protein source.
The workout yesterday went well, but I have a nagging injury in my lower shin that is getting worse as my miles ramp up in preparation for the Half Marathon. I'll do a light run and weights tomorrow, and take today off to rest a bit. I have a session set up with a personal trainer Monday, my first. Excited about that.
Good luck today everyone. Focus, determination, and success!0 -
Good morning!!! So far doing great and I did great on my goals yesterday. Today I already worked out and am working at staying positive and within my calorie limit.

Great job everyone so far!!!! We Rock
I stuck to it and i'm feeling pretty confident coming into the weekend. I already have a workout and long walk planned with a friend.
My mini goal for the day is to stick to my FASTING day. I fast one day per week (no food for 24 hours). I am already at 15 hours and feeling great so far.
Have a great Healthy day everyone!0 -

I did really great yesterday and had an earlier than normal dinner, then snacked late in the evening. Ugh! On ice cream, which of course, is a no-no since my goal yesterday was no added sugar.
I still had a calorie deficit, but that's doesn't mean it's ok. I am determined to succeed today.
Today's mini goals:
- Drink a minimum of 64 oz of fluids
- Stick to today's meal plans0 -
It's pizza tonight so I have to watch the snacks - only fruit and one skinny cow fudgcicle!
Woke up late but got my power walk in!0 -
I'm so excited for this; thanks for thinking it up!
It's not only day 3 of this challenge for me, but also since I've started counting/trying again. (Was out of town for two weeks cause of work; I'm too scared to weigh myself because I know I ate horribly!)
Today's mini-goals:
* Stay under my calorie limit
* Walk 30 minutes at lunch, and 40 minutes of calisthenics after work
* Don't pig out on pasta late at night...Or buy any junk food!
Good luck out there, everyone!0 -
Today's mini goal: don't stuff myself with free food from work! (I'm a waitress)
It's gonna be hard, I put down a lot of weight gain to free delicious bits and bobs as the chef will always put out 2-3 starters for me throughout my shift as he knows how much I love his cooking0 -
I think i may have posted this in another chat but here goes:
I hope to stay within my calorie limit - avoid the cookies sitting in my vehicle for my sons ride to home snacks...
somewhat clean my apartment (tomorrow is the big clean )
go for a 15 -20 min walk on my lunch break or after work 0 -
Also I should mention that my weights were off on Day 1. This is correct:
SW: 228 pounds
GW for 100 days: 203 pounds
GW: 170 pounds ish0 -
Hi,

I stuck to my simple Day 2 Goal of walking at least one mile! As simple as I made my goal I have been fighting the excuses train for the past 3 days but officially go it started last night after school. I also stayed below my daily calorie goal.
My Goal Today is to make sure I drink at least 64 oz of water.
I work from 7 am until 3 am today so my walk on Saturday or Sunday will be increased by a mile.
This weekend another personal goal on top of health is to get the following weeks homework done. I have found out that I stress alot during the week since I work two jobs if I don't get it done and tend to want to over eat.0 -
Day 3 (mini goal) 9/5:
No gym for me I am volunteering at our local booster club booth for the high school football game. I will eat dinner before I go so do not end up snacking! I plan to wake up early Saturday and head to the gym for a nice morning workout!!
and of course to stay within calorie goals!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!0 -
My Day 2 (technically Day 3) was pretty good! I forced myself to do 30 min on the elliptical, which makes #3 work-out for the week! I drank roughly about 72 oz of water (it may have been a little less, I really should have drank 85; so I was close). Also, came pretty close to my daily calorie intake (plus exercise calories).
So I could have done better with water and bringing down over overall calorie intake. But not too bad overall.
I had my health/fitness assessment yesterday at my new gym, I was very disappointed to find-out my body fat % was as high as it was... Plus, I somehow managed to go up in weight again a few pounds... I guess this just proves how I need to be more consistent with my logging and exercise...0 -
Day 3 going well so far, day 1 and 2 were good too. Struggling with injury so working out is on hold, but eating is controlled. Out for dinner tomorrow night, so could well be a different story lol0

Day 3 is going well on calories so far. I missed one of my mini goals yesterday by not doing yoga. I was feeling very depressed and crappy, but I need to learn not to let that stop me. I did take my dogs for a half hour walk though. And I met my goal of sticking to a somewhat healthy lunch.
Mini goal for today?
Do my exercises routine after work... I'm usually lazy on Fridays but not today!0
