Can I play too? Could really do with some motivation as keep "falling off the wagon". 159.6 as of feb14. What do I do now?0

Just for the record, I BELIEVE I have everyone up to this point added to the spreadsheet!0

I missed the challenge post! I'll address it now.
12 Cups Water! Not done. I have no idea how much water I'm drinking, but it's not enough. I'll drink more.
45 Minutes activity--- Took a walk with the kiddos and then did my Sports Active 2, then a few minutes of advanced step on Fit Plus. Advanced step just doesn't get my heart going the way it used to -- gonna have to get a step raiser.
Under Calories! Will be!
Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge? I joined the challenge because I want to step up my game. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the full 12, but having a deadline to reach that kind of a goal is going to be good for me. I've started slacking on the nutrition front, and I want to have an extra incentive to stick to my calorie goals. Also, if I lose 12 lbs. before Easter, then I'll be only 12 lbs. from my goal! Wouldn't that be nifty?

Hi! Can I join too? I realize I am a couple of days late but this sounds like an AMAZING challenge and I would love to be a part of it! My weight as of today would be 161.50
-
I am still working on my 12 cups but it will be done
I am working 13.5hrs today so my activity will have to be walking at work.
Since I am "captive" at work it will be easy to stay under calorie.
I joined the challange because it makes losing weight more fun.0 -
Okay, so I just weighed myself... I don't have a scale, and I wasn't able to access one at work until AFTER I'd eaten lunch... And I weighed 277. Way too much for me (I am 5' 11")... but I weighed 173 before the holidays... I know, I don't weigh myself much. I am going to weigh myself every other week... I am worried if I start weighing myself weekly I will become obsessed with the number (it's happened in the past)... Good luck to everyone!0

I'll commit to this challenge. A dozen lbs like a dozen eggs. I like it. Just in time for Easter. ;-)0
-
My current weight, by the way, is 173lbs. Goal weight is 160.0
-
Water, 1/2 way there
45 Minutes activity done and then some
did 5 mins of streching
And under calories thats as good as done, but i will check back in later:drinker:
Why I decided to join this challenge was I needed a change. My other support group on here just kinda fell apart:brokenheart: . I need all the modivation I can get! And I like to be competitive, so why not?0 -
gigglin~ Tausha, you may affectionately call it H2O Tuesday but I think I shall call it Tinkle Tuesday, not so affectionately LOL 4 more cups to go!
Thank you inskydiamonds!
I racked up the activity today. 3 hours of baking, 84 minutes cleaning, 18 minutes yoga, and 13 minutes on the elliptical. Plan on doing some volley ball with the PSmove tonight as well.
I joined this challenge because, Tausha, you are an amazing inspiration. Your mini challenges really help us stay focused, and hey, who DOESN'T wanna be 12 pounds lighter =D
have a great day everyone!0 -
I would love to join this too...just joined this site so a newbie!0

OK, sorry to keep posting so many different messages, but I just found the challenge for today. I am doing great with my water intake already, so I am confident that I will be able to reach this 12-cup goal today. I walked for 1 hr this morning, so check on the activity. I joined this group because I have recently begun to struggle with my weight loss and have gained approximately 10 lbs back. I almost gave up on my health goals, but decided instead that I need to pursue support and stop trying to do this alone. I am an emotional eater, which really affect my weight. I yo-yo between 160 and 175 lbs over and over and over again. I am ready to lose the weight this time and then to find a way to keep it off. Not sure yet what the secret is, but I know that having the support will surely help a lot! Looking forward to getting to know you guys more on this journey!

I'm at 8 cups of water right now! 4 more to go!
I wasn't able to do the 45 min activity challenge today because I am really sick and I'm spending every spare moment sleeping to try to get better!
My reason for joining was to form a support system. I really want to step up my weight loss and get serious about it. I'm presenting at a conference this weekend and I'm hoping I can keep my calorie goals while I'm there! I feel like whenever I go to things like that with the all you can eat buffet and delicious deserts I splurge and I really don't want to let that happen.0 -
12 Cups Water! Almost done!
45 Minutes activity! Unfortunately no! Still sick
Under Calories! Yes!
Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge? I thought it would be fun to be part of a group! And the name of this group was pretty cute lol 0 -
16 Cups Water!
45 Minutes activity---spent 45 minutes running around playing frisbee, catch, and chasing the dogs around the yard while the cable guy was here hooking up new services....
Under Calories!--On track to be!
Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge? Bc Tausha is AWESOME! I joined this challenge because I have been here a month kinda have just been doing my own thing. I like the accountability of a group and I like a good challenge (plus im a born competitor). Good luck to all the losers this week, may we all be successful!0 -
12 cups of water- ✔
45 Minutes activity-✔ (Turbo fire 55ez +10 minute stretch)
Under Calories-✔
Bonus-I am currently at a plateau that I need to break and I love the idea of being accountable everyday.0 -
TUESDAY: I affectionately call this H20 Tuesdays!!
I'm at 6 cups of water, but I know I'll hit at least 10 if not the full 12
I did 47 min of circuit training today. Level 1 of 30 Day Shred, plus Level 2. I skipped the first cool down and second warm up since I was doing both.
Calorie wise, I still have 1224, so I'm positive I'll be under. There is no way I could eat all of that by bedtime. (Well, I could but I won't lol)
Bonus: I joined this challenge to keep myself accountable. It was really close to my goal for April already, so I figured it would be a good way to keep myself on track. This is the first time I've been in a group type setting, so it should be fun!0 -
Hi All!!
Hope everyone had a great day...I did ok :ohwell: Super tired today, hard to find motivation when all I want to do is hug my pillow!!
But, here's how I did today:
12 Cups of water: DONE Thank goodness the bathroom is kitty-korner to my desk!!
45 mins of activity: hmmm....:sad: But there's still a little bit of time this evening...if I don't pass out first
Under calories: YES!! By 90...so I guess no Valentine's treat for me today :sad: (or yesterday) But I'm ok with that!
Bonus: I joined this challenge because I LOVE the idea of 'mini' challenges through the week. I need something more than just the 'end of the race' payoff. I love the daily payoffs!! And you all seem super cool :glasses:
Tomorrow will be even BETTER!!!
Rest easy and have a wonderful Wednesday!! :flowerforyou:

TUESDAY CHALLENGE:
The 12 cups of water has been a challenge for me today. I drank that yesterday, but today it just doesn't seem to be going down as well. I am currently at 9 cups, not sure I will get more than that in.
I did 5 mins of stretching and 45 mins on the elliptical today. The first 20 mins always feels really hard, but the second 20 fly by.
I am definitely under my calories for today.
I joined this challenge because I need to hear other peoples stories to keep me motivated and like the idea of having a small,but hopefully acheivable short term weight loss goal.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!0 -
OK, 12 cups water - check.
45 minutes of excruciating calisthenics with Attila the Hun Instructor - check. (I can barely type from the hurt she put on us)
Under my calorie goal - check.
Bonus round - I joined the challenge to meet some fun people with similar goals and to keep myself on track to becoming the hot chick I know is lurking inside me somewhere! :laugh:0 -
Valenetines Challenge person, coming to join for Easter. Sorry, I'm late, I just found the thread. Beginning weight....176.0. Easter is the day before we leave for the beach for our 10 year wedding anniversary, so I have to BRING IT this challenge!0

ME ME ME
149 starting weight..Stalled here for over 3 weeks. Need some help!0 -
12 Cups Water- Almost done, just 2 more to go so I'll definitely get there!
45 Minutes activity- 25 minutes stationary bike and 20 minutes walking
Under Calories- I was over by 22 calories... so I did some jumping jacks :laugh:
Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge?
The past month I've found it very helpful to have accountability and get motivation from challenges. It's so great hearing others success stories or knowing that I'm not the only one struggling. Plus, a dozen pounds by Easter will put me right above my goal weight so that would be amazing! :happy:0 -
TUESDAY: I affectionately call this H20 Tuesdays!!
12 Cups Water! - done (16 cups)
45 Minutes activity--- (you choose today! Report what you did,. If you need to break it up into 15 minute segments!) - I didn't specifically exercise today. I was on day 4 of my nursing shift and didn't even get a break today due to business. On my feet for 8 hours. I'm not too concerned to be honest and look forward to doing some cardio tomorrow
Under Calories! - done
Bonus: Why did you choose to join this challenge? I so look forward to getting to know each of you! - accountability. Plus I like how it has a shorter time frame.
Thank you for setting this up 0 -
