Losers! (BBW/BHM thread..)

I ate two green apples and drank green tea on St Paddy's Day for the mini challenge. That one was easy, but the 3500 calorie burn one is hard this time. I am still dealing with intense pain from my back going out the other day so have to limit the amount and type of exercise right now. I am still doing low impact aerobics, but it is cut down to 10 min at a time so basically just the warm-up and cool-down right now. If the weather was decent I'd be out walking the dog, but it is cold and rainy today and it tried to snow yesterday...BRRRR.

I am a dedicated Biggest Loser fan and have finally come to realize that if the contestants on there can gain 2 pounds when they have access to doctors, personal trainers, professional chefs, and all the perfect foods that we are all going to have bumps in our journey. The bumps suck, but no one ever said this would be easy. I have re-evaluated why I want this so badly and why I must at all times be willing to fight for it. I think it is a necessity to re-evaluate from time to time to remind myself exactly why I started this journey and why I have set the goals that I have. It feels good to be back where I should be! Thank you all for your love and support through the last few days when I lost site of the goal and the reason. You guys are AWESOME!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend and a great final weigh-in next week!

Wow Quorn in Aussie!! I used to love Quorn when I lived in the UK ... maybe we'll get some here in NZ!

I have another 2000 calories to burn by Wednesday so going to do my best to get it done.

Going to buy a scale in the morning. I have been making a 16 mile round trip to the doctors office each time I want or need to weigh in and have decided it is time to have one here at home.

Well it is 12:34am here so I am off to bed here shortly. Happy Sunday everyone!

Ok, so I'm sitting on my big fat bum, watching TV, laptop on lap, feeling low and so unmotivated and defeated and just can't be bothered etc etc etc. This journey is too hard, even though I really like the feel of my lighter smaller self, but do I have the strength to keep going. Ate like a pig at the buffet before my daughters show. Today I ate a chocolate forgot I gave them up for lent. So really disappointed with myself. Then I thought there is no way I can meet this 3500 burn challenge and it had been my suggestion that we end this challenge with it so I should at least try. I look back in the diary Wednesday burn 578 thursday burn 0, friday burn 753, saturday burn 0. So here it is sunday 9pm and I have calculated to meet the challenge I need to burn 2169 calories. So before sunday ends (3 hours) I AM GOING TO BURN 723 CALORIES. The same Monday and Tuesday. Back soon got some sweating to do.

Name: Alaina
Location: Missouri, USA
CW: 250.4
GW: 150 or below if I can manage it
Work outs - elliptical, bike and treadmill M,W,F, treadmill and strength training T,Th
Food facts - Chocolate is absolutely my downfall. I eat when I am bored, sad, mad...pretty much anything, and I'm really trying to change it. Unfortunately, I'm losing this battle almost as much as I'm winning it lately :embarassed:
Interesting fact - There's actually very little about me that's interesting. But I do turn 29 the day after this first challenge ends. So I'm hoping for 26 lbs down=happy birthday to me!

I totally failed the St. Patty's Day challenge, I totally forgot to eat anything green. I also lost my battle the other day and had chocolate, so there goes my giving it up for Lent. I guess it's a good thing I'm not Catholic.

I went and bought a scale like I said I was going too. I am actually really excited about it (never thought I'd ever say those words). But I did have to take a sneak peek. I will weigh again Wednesday morning and post my final weigh-in weight for the 15 pound challenge, but also had to share what has been going on ~~~~~

I've lost 2 pounds so far this week so just have 0.8 pounds to lose to be back where I was last week before my gain. And as long as I do not gain between now and Wednesday I will beat my goal for the 15 pound challenge. So even though I had a gain last week and became very stressed, depressed, and angry at myself, sticking with this has paid off. Thank you to all of you who had my back :drinker:

Today is day 61 on this journey for me. In my first 60 days I lost 30.8 pounds, 1" in my neck, 2" in my chest, 10" in my waist, and 6" in my hips.

So here's to a week of losing, a week of won't power (I won't eat the things I shouldn't), and a week of burning calories. My personal goals for this week: psychological - to keep up in my journal, physical - to continue parking a minimum of 25 spaces from the door when going shopping, and spiritual - to remember daily that in myself I am weak, but with each passing day that I remain on this journey I become stronger.

I may have over done it today and may not be able to roll out of bed tomorrow.
30min stationary bike, 20 min Jillian Michael dvd, instead of taking bus walked 25min from train station to studio, then went to Zumba tonight. Burned total 1189 calories, now only have to burn 189 calories tomorrow to reach our 3500 calorie burn. Only I am already feeling the body pain. Even if I dont show the weight loss on the scales this week, I am happy to have boosted my exercise.

Rach, thats fantastic, well done.

Claire, you gave it your best shot and thats what matters.

My personal challenge at the moment is to get some balance back in my life. I am spending to much time on exercise and counting calories. I need to catch up on housework and visits to family and friends etc. I want this new lifestyle to be sustainable.

Lost 1.1kgs last week.

Weighing In At 101.1 kgs. 222.8pounds.

Didn't quite do the 15 pounds but I'm happy.

Good Luck to the rest off you Losers.

Ready for our next challenge.

A HUGE congrats Jen!!! That is an awesome loss! I am looking forward to seeing what the next challenge is, so i can hopefully participate
