    Ugh I'm so far off track! Been stuffing my face and paying no attention to calories. It ends now.

    I think my initial 'woohoo it's the new year, I'm going to seriously lose weight' enthusiasm is starting to fade. I'm still losing but not as much as I could be. Finding it easier and easier to make excuses not to exercise and somehow making it ok to cheat on my eating.




    *************
    I feel the same way

    But besides my lack effort, the chart is looking good. Good job ladies!!! and thanks again, Rach for doing this

    Hi ladies!!

    Just wanted to check in quick. I announced my big "plan" yesterday, but never actually made any goals.

    1. Drink more water. Get at least my 8 glasses a day, if not more
    2. Only eat out ONCE this week. Cook as much as possible (so far so good!!)
    3. Exercise according to "The PLAN!" :D (also so far so good!)

    Last night I did the first day of the C25k and I thought I was going to die or fall off the treadmill. OMG! I was really sore from the Shred workout I did on Monday and my legs were on FIRE!! So, I bailed on the very last set of jog/walk, but I did the rest of it. And I was proud of myself!!

    So, workouts so far this week:
    Monday - Shred Level 1
    Tuesday - C25k Wk1 Day 1
    Wednesday - Shred Level 1

    Keep up the fantastic work everyone!!!

    Oh!! And I forgot to add! I finally gave in this morning and took my very first "BEFORE" pic. Ugh. What a wake up call!!

    Hi, I'm one of those that weighed in late. I'm at 254 now.

    My goal are (1) to increase my water intake., (2) pay attention to what's going in my mouth, (3) move my butt more.

    6 months ago today... I got my butt on the elliptical and decided to finally, truly make a change. 6 months later... I'm down about 35 lbs... eating better... and exercising 5-6 days a week. I can feel that I'm stronger... and I'm down about 1.5 (HA!) pants sizes. Can't wait to see where I am in another 6 months!!!

    How am I celebra...ting? Spending my snow day in bed... with my sore hamstrings :)

    I'm super upset :( I GAINED last week. Its the week I usually bloat because of TOM, but the scale said I gained 4.2lbs and I don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So many things can cause that type of weight gain. Last week I was up 5lbs because I increased my workouts, additional water wait, maybe even a BM but when I weighed in on Monday I was back down those 5 plus an extra 1. Don't stress unless you honestly think you ate an addtional 14,700 calories last week.

    Franky- Spanakopita for any meal is a happy thing.

    AMC- That is a fantastic post. I love that you're still at it after 6 mo. And sometime laying in bed with your sore muscles is just necessary. :happy:

    So I have a third of my workouts for the week done. I ran and did abs this morning and I'm gonna lift tonight.

    How is everyone else doing??

    Hello Beautiful Pin-Ups

    As some of you may know I have embarked on a 9 week TRX training session at my gym as well as doing the Rock Hard Challenge at home with my boyfriend and running 3 times a week.

    My body is changing and I can see it and feel it.

    I have just committed to a one month scale free challenge so I am going to take a step away from the pin-up challenge for the month of February and not weigh again until March 1.

    I know this is going to be a real challenge but I am going to give it a try.

    I wish you all the best this month and I hope there will always be a spot for me here with you lovely ladies.

    All the best

    *hugs*

    1. At least 5 days of working out. On day 3 so far!
    2. Drink more water.
    3. Don't beat myself up over the scale.
    4. Just work hard.

    I figured it out and I could be in One-derland by Easter if I try hard! :)

    Good job this week ladies! I like the goals. I find it such a good thing that we weigh in on Monday's because it keeps me from letting go completely over the weekend. Such a good thing!

    Great job on the chart Rach! Thank you!

    Awe, Karen, I'll miss you! You'll still be around MFP though right? You're such a great motivator!

    This reminds me of a quote from "how I meet your mother": "Whenever I start to get sick, I stop and start being awesome instead." It makes me giggle every time.

    Does anyone else struggle to drink their water when it's cold out?

    Yeah Rach, I do. Usually it comes down to the end of the day and I have to down 3 cups.

    I have a Brita filteration pitcher on my desk at work. It keeps my water at room temperature plus it is easily accessable. It helps a lot. Not to mention the water here tastes AWFUL!!
