Modern Day Pin-up Girls - WEEK 5

You are so great at this!! Keep up the good work on the chart:happy:

Bad week
I really need to get back to working out. I've just been counting but not losing at all. School is making this rough.

Goals:
Zumba - three days a week.
Gym - two days a week.
Walking - three days a week (weather permitting).
Counting EVERYTHING. No cheating.
Water with every meal.
No more than 1100 calories a day. 1200 isn't working

I sent my weight in already but I don't see me on the chart? I'm at 168

Maybe you arent eating enough...? Try eating your BMR for a few days to give your body the fuel it needs. I dont know your height or current weight, but maybe your body needs more in order to lose? I know I lost weight when eating 1200, but when I started eating more (1200 isnt a lifestyle i could ever commit to), I gained it allll back plus more. Now that Im eating my BMR (1500), I am losing about 2 lbs a week, a total of 7 lbs this month. Im not a doc or a dietician, but my close friend is. And she advised me to eat NO LESS than my BMR since that is the basic number of cals your body needs in order to function. Worth a shot..? Hope this week brings some positive changes for you

Have a great week everybody! It's the second month of the year DO NOT LOSE MOMENTUM! You can do this!!!

Goals for the week:
Drink all of my water!!!
Exercise every day
Track all of my food

It's gonna be a cold week for a lot of us, stay warm!!!

Thanks Rach, I really appreciate the work you do on the chart and organizing all of us.

I agree, don't go down on your calories lower than 1200...increase your activity and eat the same or even up to the total exercise calories burned. But most importantly, DON"T GIVE UP. Keep up the good work everyone. Remember this doesn't happen overnight and we'll have to all be slow and steady...Happy February!

My main goal this week is to keep doing what I'm doing since it is FINALLY starting to work for me again. Here's the weekly goals:

1) Drink 2 glasses of green tea a day (seriously, this crap seems to be helping me a lot!)
2) Keep the protein up so I can sustain my muscle building P90X
3) Keep the calories between 1600-1700
4) Log everything
5) Do NOT give in to those damnable girl scouts hocking their wares in front of the grocery store!!!!

1) Drink 2 glasses of green tea a day (seriously, this crap seems to be helping me a lot!)

I love green tea, especially with a little honey. Yummmm!
But make sure you continue to drink water. A friend became obsessed with drinking green tea, had about 3-4 cups per day, and she developed kidney stones. Her doctor told get to cut down on the green tea consumption.
I don't know how common kidney stones from green tea are, but just wa Ted to pass the word along in case anyone else lives it this much!!!

Thanks for the word of caution. I still drink all my water and then I have 2 cups of green tea a day. Kidney stones would be a really horrible thing to deal with...I'll make sure to keep my water intake up. Thanks! :happy:

I weighed in yesterday, too. But no problem! Your chart is amazing and must take so much time!! thank you!!!

I stayed the same.
155.4

Thanks for the awesome chart & motivation!! Keep up the great work everyone!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

The chart looks awesome Rach!
.
Goals:
Keep up the hope after finding out that my thyroid levels are very elevated but apparently not quite elevated enough to treat Explains the lack of weight loss and walking around like there is gauze in my brain.
Get at least 5 workouts in
DO NOT GO OVERBOARD at the hockey game or Super Bowl Party.

Great job ladies! Keep up the good work, cuz we are all worth it!

Rach, that chart is a work of art! Thank you so much- I know how much time it takes pulling something like this together once, let alone having to do update charts with all the palaver of copying and pasting here there and everywhere.

I faithfully promise never to be late checking in on Monday. (Admittedly it helps that I am a few hours ahead of most of you girls!)

Well done to all of us for hanging in there, and a huge well done to those in yellow!

Fantastic work everyone!!!

My goal this week is to start exercising again. At least 3 times this week!

Have a great week everyone!
