Join me... 100 pounds to lose! -part 3

Happy FRIDAY!!!!! Weigh in day

2011 SW: 241.8
Week 1 EW: 236.1 ( - 5.7lbs)
Week 2 EW: 236.6 ( +0.5lbs)
Week 3 EW: 236.1 ( - 0.5lbs)
Week 4 EW: 237.2 (+1.2lbs)

Blah - I can't even blame TOM.....since that was in Week 2........I made poor choices. That's all there is to it. I can't expect to eat 1200+ calorie meals (that's right, meals, not days) and lose. My DH and I are trying to start a family so I'm trying to find out the best time to uh, make that happen....Sorry if TMI. I'm actually taking Ovulation predictor kits and they say you should take it after work and not drink water (it has to be concentrated urine) for 4 hours before. That was the time of day that I was best at drinking my water, so I'm not drinking as much.

I'm recommitting myself to working out 4 hours a week and getting my water drunk...it's almost time to stop testing anyways. I WILL LOSE IT for next week!! I want to get back to 2lbs a week. I just sat here and watched my DH burn 714.9 cals in 1.5 hours on the Wii Biggest Loser.....He was so excited until I pointed out that he'd have to eat those back and top of the 1700 he's already alloted.....LMAO He started panicking....then he realized that means he can go to the pub tonight and eat almost anything while I have a girlie night and eat carrots.

I made a decision this week to make sure I net at least 1400 cals a day...I'm hoping this week's weigh in is just an indication of that higher calorie bump and is temporary.

Glad to hear you are back with us, Carol!!! We've missed you!

I only lost 0.2 lbs this week, but I slipped on ice/slush mix on Wednesday while I was out paying bills and I wasn't working as hard on my exercises

Hopefully, will be back to normal next week.

My mom had her heart surgery this morning at 7:30, its a 6-8 hour surgery at least....not sure how things are going bc she is out of town for the surgery, but I'll be calling her tomorrow to check in! Praying for my mom today!

My wigit says I've lost 50lbs, but I've lost 49.6 lbs, so I guess I can I have hit my 50 lb mark, but I'll make it official when it actually 50.

Praying for your Mom too! :flowerforyou:

Glad your mom is doing well....things should improve But a scary thing to go through none-the-less. Have you talked to her yet?

Challenges for the week...thought I forgot, huh??? :huh:

OK, so I know this guy is just a little kid, but this workout is Guaranteed to shred the pounds, so let's give it a try all week!
Here it is, just look up the songs on You tube, and let's see if this works for us..then I definitely want FEEDBACK. I've never even heard a single song of his, so this is a shot in the dark. Let's GO FOR IT!!!

Warm Up:
Warm up to a mid tempo song. Justin Bieber's "Bigger" is perfect for this. It allows you to stretch and warm up your muscles before jumping into the aerobic portion of your workout. Warming up will help you to reduce your chances of pulling a muscle and will decrease soreness.

Aerobic Workout:
Perform your aerobic portion of the workout to an up tempo track that will help you raise your heart rate. "Baby" and "Somebody To Love" are ideal for this. Use at least two songs for this portion of your workout.

Toning and Strengthening:
Slow the music back down to a mid tempo or even slow song to strengthen and tone your stomach, arms, legs and butt. Perform sit ups, arm curls and squats and lunges to "One Less Lonely Girl", "Favorite Girl" or similar type songs.

Cool Down:
Cool down to bring your heart rate back down and stretch muscles. "One Time" is a perfect song to use for this portion of your workout.

If you do your Justin Bieber workout plan at least 3-4 times a week, (We're going to do it EVERY DAY!!) :bigsmile: and couple it with a low fat, low calorie diet, you will start to see the pounds come off quick. Stay focused on your weight loss goal and have fun with your newfound motivation to take the pounds off.

And let's not forget WEIGH IN WITH A SMILE ON FRIDAY, and do the walking on sunshine dance!! :bigsmile:

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, YOU GUYS!! :flowerforyou:

Came in at 179 this morning - down just over 80 lbs from where I started. Don't know what it is about Friday's, I always seem to be up - I was at 178 yesterday and the day before.

Didn't lose anything, but I didn't gain either! I'm happy with that! Next week is a new week and my leg is feeling TONS better, back to the routine!

It took me till yesterday to lose anything and it was only 0.8 of a pound but it shows that some adjustments I made recently are possibly working. I have one class that takes alot of work and I am trying to squeeze in as much exercise as I can. I am hoping I will lose the rest of this pound plus more soon.
