    Managing to keep food down! woop woop! So I hope the worst is over... DS got sent home from school today becuase he's ill again... Not keeping food "up" iykwim (sorry if TMI!)

    Will try for the 500 cal burn a day but will probably have to make a couple of doubles as I'm not planning on exercising today or possibly tomorrow... Zumba wii should come tomorrow though or wednesday so if I do a couple hours on that should catch up...

    Fuhrmeister - can I have your weigh in for this week so I can update the chart please? Thanks! x

    74.9 / 70 km is my final answer. Reached that goal like it was nobody's business!

    LW: 176 (I think this was an outlier...)
    CW: 177.5

    My eating has been pretty bad all week, so I'll deal with this.
    I didnt do it yesterday, ballet and treadmill. Will get my lazy butt up soon and try and get it done this morning. The first 5 -7 days are the hardest but try and stick with it.
    [...]
    Its great how my body feels so strong after her workout. I really want to get through this 2nd round of 30 days even if I stick to level 1. Its still tough but wow when i think back to when I first started i really have improved.
    Jen... Ballet and treadmill are still a wonderful workout!! I think it's impossible NOT to improve when you do the Shred.

    Claire... I hope you feel better soon. :flowerforyou: Think healthy thoughts. :wink:

    Katie... Your trip sounds like so much fun!! I really want to try going to a Japanese restaurant with tatami mats and kimono hostesses. I find you pay for the atmosphere though... :wink: Amazing weekend!!
    (and trust me on this one - i HATE jumping jacks!!!) I feel strangely fine now. I did a zumba express on top of that as well so i should start to feel something soon. But if i dont get the pain now i will get the pain tomorrow. I hate when it hurts so much you cant even sit down. Happy monday everyone!!!
    Hanna... I felt the same way about lunges before I started the Shred. Now I really like them, and I think I'm actually pretty good at them! In the beginning, I couldn't do a full push up, either, but I managed to pull them off in my second round! You'll be loving (or at least indifferent to) those jumping jacks by the end! :bigsmile: I actually like the next day pain, for the most part. :laugh: Makes me know I had a good workout. It always takes 24 hours for the pain to set in for me.

    Great job Courtney!! :drinker:

    Good Monday morning everyone!! I haven't caught up on reading the posts yet from the weekend, but am checking in with my Monday morning weight and my goals for this week.

    Weight: 362.2 Total lost this week: 4.2 (YES, my goal was 3.5 to stay on target for my next personal goal).

    Personal Goals for this week: Lose 3.5 pounds (in spite of TOM who will be visiting this week), burn 500 calories daily, drink at least 96 oz water, not skip any meals on my plan, and I am starting the "couch to 5k" today.

    There is a 5k run June 4th and my 9 weeks of couch to 5k will end on June 6th so I am super excited about that!

    Well I am off to walk with the dog. Have a good day all!

    Idahogirl71 - Congratulations!! That is amazing loss and you must be super happy to have lost more than what your target was!!! Very happy for you!! :):)

    Steph_135 - Wow a Japanese restaurant like that sounds amazing! And the atmosphere/ experience would be worth the money. I am finding that as i am getting older, i am appreciating things like that a lot more. I cannot do it all the time, but every now and then is always special. Especially when you get to spend it with the people you love the most!! We are doing it all again in August and i cannot wait haha!!!

    Successful challenge week. I only missed one day for drinking 8 glasses of water. I was able to modify my habits and I began to excercise for 30 min every day.

    and I am starting the "couch to 5k" today.
    Excellent! I'm doing that too, though I've slowed down a little (staying on week 3) because my ankle is weird... Happy running!

    Katie... As soon as I have a steady paycheck, I'll be doing a LOT more stuff like that. :bigsmile:

    Tami... Make sure that [ quote ] is above the text of the person you are quoting, and make sure that [ /quote ] is underneath the text of the person you are quoting. Be sure that it's not under YOUR text. :bigsmile:

    hello all!

    some quick updates:

    - took a tumble after getting off the treadmill on Sunday. my face and mouth are all banged up (there's a pic on my blog if you'd like to see). i passed out after getting off of it, although i have been cleared by my doctor to exercise...just no running, til i get more tests on my heart.

    - i actually weigh 294.4 lbs, not 298.4. my Wii Fit and doctor's office tell me this, so i'm more inclined to believe them and not my scale! i have figured that my scale is 2 lbs off. so i've lost 9 lbs total. one more pound and i get my first reward, new workout clothes!

    - i won't participate in the 500 calories burned a day challenge, but i will make my own: at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, even when i don't go to the gym. so this can be walking, Wii Fit, etc. also i will be sticking with my 4 bottles of water per day or 96 oz. per day.

    glad to see everyone is doing well! xoxo

    Hello girlies! Feeling a bit better today - tummy is still a little fragile so on a clear liquid diet (i.e. water) today.. And still no exercise which is a bummer cos my zumba wii came today and I'm itching to try it out!!

    Have updated the chart with all the weight ins - well done to ALL!

    Just want to feel well again! :sad:

    Love and light to you all with your challenges this week - my challenge this week is to feel less like death! :ohwell:

    Calliope, Sorry to hear about your mishap. But a good warning to us all, about being careful after exercising. I know when I finish on the treadmill, or bike I am a bit unsteady.
    Claire, When you are good and strong again, you can reward yourself with Zumba. But wait till you are really well.

    This last week has been a real low one, I'm hoping an early morning spin tomorrow can re juvenate and re focus the mind on what matters - and that can only be right food choices. I'm going to carry fruit, carrots and nuts with me for the rest of the week and get to Zumba for an hour.

    Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome to hear! So happy for you!!

    VezNo1 - Hugs!! It is never fun to have a low week, just know we are all here for you in any way you need!! Early morning spin might be just what you need to lift your mood! *hugs* hang in there!

    So this week is going really well for me :)
    (despite me sleeping wrong on my neck on Monday night and being hardly able to move yesterday!)
    I have already lost 600 of the 700 grams i put on over the weekend, so i am happy i am still on track to lose 10kgs by May! Ah let's just hope Easter isn't too much of a speed hump for me!!! At least i have a couple of weeks before Easter to try and get as much weight off as i can incase some creeps back on...


    So as of today, it is only 35 more sleeps until NZ: Take Two!!! I am really, really, really starting to get excited! And even more excited that i might just be 10kgs light by then :D
    The friend we are visiting over there is a trainer at a women's only exclusive gym and she said she is making us go to all her classes while we are there! SO EXCITED about that!!! I miss the gym more than anything and that was our thing to do when we all lived in Tamworth, Monday night pump classes together! *memories*

    Jen - you continue to amaze me!! You are so awesome with your exercise!! It keeps me getting out of bed at 6:30am every day to do 30 minutes of something before work!

    Hope everyone is having a great day!! K xx

    Weight for this week is 255.2. The lowest I have been in a long time.

    Sorry about being so absent in the posts, this has been a crazy week at work and home, hoping it will start to settle down a bit. Good work everyone.

    I really pushed to get past the 500 calories today, and I felt like I did SO much to get there. I ended up with 638!! :bigsmile:

    That is SO annoying! It happened to me so bad once, I called my mom in the middle of the night cause I didn't know what was wrong with me. I could barely move, and I just wanted to cry it hurt so much!

    Hello peeps!

    I'm happy to say that i'm running on about 75% capacity today! Hurray! Had to walk my DS to school so have used that for my exercise for the day - don't want to do too much too soon in case I relapse! Will do some of the chores that have built up during my sickness so that will be a bit more activity that I probably won't log as I'm not sure how much I'll eat today anyway - will probably get the "eating too few calories" message again this evening - it'll be the 4th time this week oops!

    Everyone is doing so well with the 500 cals a day challenge! Wish I could join in!

    As I have so much time on my hands from not exercising I thought I'd do a little top 10 on highest % loss this week (a la Biggest loser!)

    1. Chiliflea 2.9%
    2. Hannastyrbjorn 1.54%
    3. Alw2007 1.28%
    4. Idahogirl75 1.23%
    5 Calliope_music 1.21%
    6. Rachypompa 1.16%
    7. sjc04562 1.01%
    8. fuhrmeister 0.9%
    9. poorcopies 0.53%
    10 jellyfishjen 0.36%

    I don't think i should be up there really as it wasn't down to hard work like the rest of you but that's how the top 10 stands...

    Well done to you all!

    Loving the Kcals burned ticker Claire!

    I'm having a tough week, TOM is here and I could just eat chocolate ... I kind of have done today, but stayed within my Calories, so that's all good!

    Congratulations Idahogirl, you are doing so well!

    Big Hugs V, you're here and that's the main thing I reckon.

    Calliope, hope you're better after your tumble, take care. I remember that funny way the ground feels when you get off a treadmill, so hopefully it was just that.

    Right, it's late and I have work tomorrow, boo hiss to that!

    Love the ticker and the biggest loser top 10. I have a feeling i wont be on it the next week. Got on the scale today to look how i'm doing after 3 days of shredding but it seems im going up up up. Hopefully i'll get the weight off till sunday. Otherwise i'll have to use the cheese slicer... Have fun today!

    Xx

    Yay I'm coming last. I love it. I have always said to people don't worry about coming last I will take that position and save you the concern. And I bet no one wants to fight me for that spot. But "BEWARE" I might change my mind about wanting to be last. :love:

    Hi, I am new to the site and just found this challange. I have been walking on the treadmill since Dec. 28th and have missed only three days in that time, moving up to twice a day the 1st of March. But what a rollercoaster ride. SW 203.6....CW 192 so a loss of 11.6 pounds which is very good I know but I can''t seem to get a real good weight loss going. Age is a factor it just does not come off as fast as it used to for sure. I record all my meals now on this site and love it. I am in it for the long hall now and need to lose another 17 pounds to make my Doctor happy. Help!

    Welcome. We are a great group who accept each other as we are and encourage each other, push when we have to or just hold hands when we have to. We have all set a goal weight that we are aiming to be on the 20th June. We have little challenges along the way but it is always your choice to join in. Presently we have, burn an extra 10% calories in April than you did in March. And this week some of us are trying to burn 500 calories a day, some are exercising for 30 min a day. Our week starts on Mondays, but just join in. Claire, our secretary is great with keeping our numbers and stats. I'm Jenni, live in Sydney, Australia. age 51. I do all sorts of different exercise, but presently one of my favourites is attending Absolute Beginners Ballet.
