Starting the seventy day challenge.....ive been already on the weightloss journey but maybe this will help me out sum:) i am obssessed with looking at the scale, i dont feel disscouraged ever if i look at it, or i may feel bad but that helps me to push harder. and wen i see a pound or oz gone im happy and continue to push my best.....water intakes hard with me, i guess i dont push myself to drink all 8 glasses but wen my body needs it boy do i chug. im around 4 glasses, but i am going to still push myself, and i will hide my scale just for maybe more inncouragment that im loosing....hopfully not gaining! lol
My starting weight:220lbs
My Current weight:179
My goal weight:130-140...
not far from it but gotta keep killing it!0 -
Im in also I have now 45lbs to lose. I need something like this to get me working. I would like to get a lot of it off by summer!! Wishful thinking. I just really want to not just lose the weight but be healthier. A few years ago I was down close to my goal weight and looking into teaching spinning classes now I think I might die in a spinning class!
Im going to get to working on these goals tomorrow!!0 -
Made it outside for a mile today. Daughter and I took a walk around town then walked all over park. Probably did more then a mile all together but for the actual walk it was only a mile. Tomorrow suppose to get chilly again. we will see how chilly and see if I can get another walk in, if not Ill do the exercise bike instead.0

Today, I did great with food, water and exercise. I did 5.8 mile pedo, 1.5 elliptical and 4.5 stat bike. I have to pass on the strength training for the next two weeks. I have pulled a muscle in my shoulder. Doc said to let it rest, but I get all tensed up at work and it starts burning before I get home at night.. it may take me longer to recover.
Looks like most everyone is doing pretty good with the challenge.
For those of you who are having bad days, don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is a new day..0 -
Hi all,
I am back! I fell off the wagon some time back and it has come around to pick me back up. I am ready to get rid of this last 25 pounds and darn it I am going to do it. No more excuses, no more feeling bad. I hurt my achilles tendon a while back, so I am still nursing it back to health. I will have to take some of the exercising easy until it is better, but that does not keep me from doing some upper body work. Anyways, glad to see some familiar faces as well as new ones.0 -
Morning ladies, just came in to say I fell off the wagon today but that doesn't mean I haven't made progress Normally I have two weigh in days on here Monday & Friday. I felt that I really should do my Friday weigh in, but at one point, I had 7 groups on here with different weigh in days so I HAD to weigh in daily......Just thought I should confess :P Plus because I'm taking some medications for my PCOS, my doctor wants me to measure weight gained when my cycle starts....since the meds, it's been less and less. I'm expecting her today so I had to weigh in anyways....and I've gone from gaining 3lbs to gaining 0.5lbs, which is good and it'll be great if she does show (which I'm sure she will since I track my temp and it's a classic cycle this time) because it means that the meds are all doing their thing. 0

You. Are. Amazing. And I have four children of my own! Wowzers!!!So this week I have a 7 year old, two 6, one 5, one 4, one 3, one 2, one 19 months and one 3 month old.0 -
Thanks! It feels good. I love how my body feels when I do these challenges. One more day this week, then I'm half way though the entire challenge.... shooting for 100 consecutive push-ups, 200 consecutive crunches, & 200 consecutive squats. Right now, my totals are that of 5 sets of varying reps...
You'll make it! And when you're ready for a little change-up on your crunches, try leg lifts. Works the lower ab muscles and doesn't hurt your back as much.
I have to do my crunches on my fitness ball as I have scoliosis and it really hurts my lower back doing crunches from the floor. I do a lot of side leg lifts, but have trouble doing them laying on my back...though, i will try and throw a few in here and there as I know it is good for the abs...0 -
I got a much better night's rest last night, so I am hoping for a better day today! :happy: I had forgotten that my second postpartum TOM started yesterday, so I am sure that was a big contributor to my hard day.
Here's to a wonderful Friday for all!!! :drinker:0 -
I haven't posted much this week, but I've been reading the posts when I have a break at work. I'm so impressed with all the successes of this group!
Also, all the chatting about nail polish made me check out the new OPI colours when I was at the mall - and I've decided that I need a new shiny pink. And I also love "not just a waitress" red, which I saw and made me think of this group!
Small but strange victory...my husband and I went to a movie, and we had a coupon for two free pops and popcorn. I'd been looking forward to the popcorn for WEEKS, so I worked out and enjoyed eating some. But I actually got water instead of pop, which was tough because it was free. I'm really glad I did, because I didn't waste calories or drink a bunch of aspartame, and the water helped offset the salt, so I felt good the next day. Yay for good decisions!
9 miles down, 91 miles to go...0 -
Oh, and one more thing - I bought a dress yesterday, and after trying on the size 10 & 8, I found that the size 6 fit me perfectly!!!
Most of my dresses from last year are size 12 or 10 or so I bought it on principle I was so excited, though I recognize that it was A-line and my thighs are NOT a size 6 (or 8). But still...it was very cool. 0 -
Okay... let's see if this mile tracker thing works!0

Good for you, it is a great feeling to go down a size smaller even better when it is smaller than you thought.0 -
Ok so I have come to the conclusion that I can't lose weight because of the anti depressents that have been doubled in strength today, this worries me in case I put on now lol. I have to take them as they are for pain and sleep
I have been to doctors today and they still dont know what is wrong with me, they did in searching, find something wrong with my heart though. Not quite sure what yet but I shall be seeing a specialist soon, as well as a chronic fatigue speacialist. I forgot to ask if I am allowed to exercise, so will do it anyway. Just seems like the world is out to stop me losing weight 0 -
*Alegria79* AWESOME on the smaller dress size(s)--how fabulous did that feel?! And I'm sure Pink_and_Shiny has a top 10 list of great shiny pink polishes... if not, I do! :laugh:
*bjshooter* Hang in there... you've come so far (37lbs is great *jealous*), so you are already successful no matter what outcome the docs have!!! Just be stubborn and find SOME way to exercise. Where there's a will... good luck.
I did L1D1 of Shred today and am feeling it all over... but it still feels RIDICULOUSLY GREAT in a weird way :bigsmile: Also did a balance ball workout last night to try to give my legs a rest... it was funny and effective at the same time, as I rolled/fell all over the place but worked muscles I didn't even know I had. I'll be adding that to my routine!
Happy Friday to everyone, and good luck over the weekend 0 -

How was Shred? I got it but I haven't started it yet - I need to pick up some weights to get started!0 -

I'm sorry about your doctors visit. :ohwell: I hope you feel better soon and can get things straightened out. I'm so sorry! :flowerforyou:
Sounds like everyone's making progress. :bigsmile:
I haven't gotten to walk today, but I'm hoping to. I REALLY should be wearing a pedometer. As many steps as I take following these kids around. :laugh:
Water intake is good today. Food choices are good, although I REALLY want to be eating a whole chocolate cake by myself. :laugh: Every time I'm tempted to eat something I shouldn't I got take a l*o*n*g drink of water and that usually takes care of it.
I hope everyone's having a great day! :flowerforyou:0 -
Well I ended up in the ER with a sick kid. I wanted to make sure there wasnt a blockage. She has NO other flu symptoms other than barfing. So I thought there might be. Shes clear, but has been put on a bland food diet. So I am following it too. Not fair to eat stuff in front of her. Ill have a little something else later on tonight after shes in bed. That means Im going to be fairly low on my calories unless I eat something really calorie laden. lol. And I might. I have some bacon macaroni in the cupboard. Might be a good night for comfort food.0

It went pretty good... I had actually done about 20 days of it a couple years ago, so I knew what I was getting into! But, I purposely waited until at least a month after starting this "lifestyle" to start it, as I got discouraged last time. Today I was able to complete everything except all of the pushups, and I had to modify the cardio to avoid shin splints/overuse. When I did it before I didn't even use weights until the second week--it's pretty damn effective all on it's own!!!How was Shred? I got it but I haven't started it yet - I need to pick up some weights to get started!
*tanniew78* Sometimes I go to the Dr/ER with my kiddo simply to put my mind at ease!!! Better safe than sorry never had quite the impact until I had a child. Good luck with recovery--taking care of sick babies always seems to suck the energy out of everyone! And YUM to Bacon Mac :happy: I'm seriously considering making some homemade stuff... but it will be with Turkey Bacon, so your's sounds better!0 -
Shadea - welcome to the group! (sorry I missed you earlier)
ladybu6205 - ohh side leg lifts. Those are good!
JessAnn08 - great work getting out there!
AmandaChaseChance11 - as long as you don't let the scale get you emotionally, then go on with your bad self. Show that thing who's boss! :laugh: Getting in enough water is hard, I know. Try bringing a water bottle with you wherever you go. Always have it within your reach.
Stacil2 - don't think, just do! Having the mindset that you are doing this for the health benefits is fantastic.
aprildauer - I bet your walk thru the park was lovely.
sameantha - exactly, there's no day but today, but each day is a new day!
sereny - hope that achilles of yours heals. We need you back in full-on action!
fitterpam - see, you're going down!
linemansgirl - happy Friday!
Alegria79 - YAY! Size 6 dress!! That's fantastic!! What kind of shiny pink you talkin' here? You want mass amounts of glitter, or are you a fan of the shimmer? Or a nice glossy jelly or creme?
bjshooter - oh phooey on the meds messing with your weight loss. I really wish your docs could find an answer for you. The uncertainty is so unnerving. Take care of yourself. *gentle hugs*
emilysebastian - dang you and everyone else making it sound like I really need to jump on the shred bandwagon! *waves fist*
CrystalS - wow, you know how to take care of those food cravings! That's awesome! It is ridiculous how tempting chocolate cake is.
tanniew78 - I hope your daughter feels better soon, and take care of yourself too! Bacon mac sounds quite delicious and we just got bacon and Kraft mac 'n cheese at the store today...maybe that'll be for dinner instead of the pork roast I was initially planning!
Happy Friday everyone! I got a total case of the lazies yesterday and didn't really attempt to exercise. Did some cleaning but that's it. I KNOW I should have gotten off the damn couch and done some Leslie Sansone, but, no. We'll see how today goes, if I can get any miles in.0 -
Pinky, did that work? That's The One That Got Away with Black Shatter over it.
That's today's haul.0 -
2.5 miles down. upped my water to 6 glasses a day. so far so good. 0
-
I know this directed at Pink, but I have to chime in-SO FABULOUS!!! *jealous* 0 -
Okay... sick today. But since I had to go out to get OTC meds... I bought some 2# weight balls and an exercise ball. So on days when I can't make it to the gym I can still do some strength training. :happy: Even though I feel like crap... I feel compelled to go to the gym and sweat it out this evening. Weird how ya get addicted to exercise after you've seen results! 0
-
emilysebastian, thanks!!! I keep admiring my nails. This black shatter is FAB. Now I'm on a mission to find the China Glaze crackles. I am officially addicted! LOL
cazzincali, great dedication! Just make sure not to push it too hard. You don't want your body to hate you! :laugh:0 -
PAMPERING + ME = NEW DOO..
I was ready for a change.. 0 -
Well, I have decided to only count distance I deliberately set out to do as exercise. I walk around alot for work but it is a short sporadic bursts. So today I did a quick 1.6 miles. Was sick last week and snowed in the week before so HAD to do something today, come heck or high water!!! Tomorrow we are going swimming at the Y and I will probably do the treadmill first. Crazy week for school coming up... 3 tests and 8 chapters... I wonder Why I am doing this at 40 Somedays!!! I hope everyone is well and has a blessed weekend!!!0

Had another pretty successful day! Drank plenty (12+ glasses) of H2O, ate under my calories (still need a snack in a minute) and avoided major temptation by way of the candy drawer at work! Didn't really feel like going to the gym after work and supper, but forced myself and am glad I did. This is a non-running day for me, so I did 30 minutes on the arc trainer (like an elliptical) and a 30 minute ab workout I found on my iPhone. This is the third Friday I've done it, and I'll be feeling it all weekend!!! I'm noticing if I do it Friday night I'm less likely to splurge all weekend because my abs are sore!!! Silly, but it's working!
Hope you all had a great Friday! Looking forward to my 4 mile run tomorrow... geez, did I really just say that? Who is this girl?????0
