Alright ladies. I blew away my goal of 30min exercise and at least 300 calories burned a day, today. After doing 3.3miles on the treadmill I burned almost 700cals!!! Looks like I get a bigger dinner tonight. :happy:
Goals:
-5 more workouts this week (min of 30min and 300cals)
-At LEAST 64oz of water per day
-Eat 1400+ cals EVERY day
By next weigh-in......I WILL be 173.5lbs or less! :drinker:0 -
Awesome job, Everyone! 0

Rach, congrats on meeting your mini goal and exercise goal. I worked the night shift the last several days and missed my am weigh in today. I'm still following along though. Clothes are fitting a whole lot better this round, I wish i had taken measurements....weight, though, seems to be holding steady.
Keep up the good work everyone! 0 -
Congrats on reaching your goal rach! That's awesome! Everyone is doing so well! I'm excited to see that in 5weeks I've lost 6.6lbs averaging 1.1lb a week and I'm not depriving myself at all.
I have definitely slacked on exercise and staying in my calories...need to fix that! Have a great week!0 -
my goal this week is to drink plenty of water and try to eat good this week Hopefully i can get back to 231 or 230 this week.depends on aunt flo..lol And congrats on reaching your goal Rach!
I hope everyone has a great week! 0 -
Great work ladies!! Week 5, we are at the halfway mark for our 10 week commitment to ourselves and Rach. What has been working? Keep that up. Where do we see room for improvement? What are some hurdles that get in our way? If we share those, maybe someone else has experineced it along their weight loss journey and can offer advice, or is experiencing it now and can be helped knowing they aren't alone.
I've just decided to coordinate my 1st mini goal with the end date of this challenge. With you gals to encourage me, I know I can do it.0 -
Ooops late! I had a few big losses so it had to slow down sometime... I am the same as last week, 174. Sigh.0
-
Good job ladies!
I am back on track starting tomorrow for food, vacation and then being sick and TOM kinda gave me too many excuses to throw it all out the window :laugh: I have family coming and visiting some sick older relatives so my goal is to get in at least 45 min workouts Thurs-Sunday when I can get my routine back in order.0 -
Thanks Rach!!! And lots of awesome loses this week, I didn't realize we only have 5 weeks left, in the next 5 weeks I want to lose about 12 lbs, and get to my first minigoal of 5% of my body fat lost (well actually, I'll pass it) but for this upcoming week, I have a few smaller goals:
-Do my ab routine every day, Monday-Friday
-Do my stair routine Tuesday and Thursday
-Drink at least 88 oz of water a day
That's it, I hope to make 238 by next weigh-in. Have a good week pin-ups!0 -
WTG everyone!!!
(sent in my weight late- bad monday for me)
Here's my goals for the week:
Tues- 5k walk
Wed/fri- trainer workouts
Thurs/Sat- Cardio
Sunday Rest!
Goal to get back to the 30 decade with the next WI- so with food- staying under 2k is the key:)0 -
Rach, I am so glad you do this chart. I've been feeling bummed about my lack of progress the last couple weeks but-as I can see from the chart- I'm still averaging a bit more than a pound a week for this challenge (and that's not too bad). Thanks for doing this for us!
My goals for this week:
Keep pushing it hard through Insanity workouts (I've gotta get ready for Asylum!!)
Kettlebell workouts 3 times a week
Mountain Bike as often as the weather will allow
Keep refined flours and sugar to a minimum (I do fine on my cals every day cuz I'm so active but I could eat healthier food)0 -
Fantastic job ladies!0
-
Another great week, ladies! And I'm so excited to get a yellow box!!
My on-going goal is to be 175-177 by May 5. That's when I have my final fitting for my wedding dress, and my seamstress took in a little extra for me based on my reaching that weight. I'm at 181.8 right now, and I have a little over three weeks.0 -
I couldn't find the thread yesterday for whatever reason but I weighed it at 198.50

.oh jeez... i'm heavier now than i was five weeks ago... not okay. :ohwell: I have five more weeks to turn it around!!
Vbos- I am right there with you. April has not been kind to my waistline. We can do it though!
My goals for this weeks are pretty simple. Do my workouts and stay under my calories.0 -
Great job this week, ladies!!!
My goals for this week:
1. REFOCUS!!!! And maintain it! I do really, really well Mon - Thurs, and my weight drops about 3 lbs, but then on the weekends I throw it all out the window! I've got to stop doing that!!
2. Water - all of it, every day
3. Exercise - a little bit every day is better than 2-3 major workouts that wipe me out
4. Stop ordering out and start cooking at home!!!0 -
Congrats Ladies for another great week. Even if you didn't lose we all stayed committed!
Agirlfromminnesota - Woo Hoo! Great week!
My goals for this week are to get in my lunch hour workouts and get in two strength training sessions.
Thanks Rach for taking care of us.

Thanks again Rach!!
Must get back on the P90X wagon and stop making the "its a sauna in here!" or "I'm tooo sleepy", etc etc excuses! Missed my workout 2 days now and havent set foot to workout in 2 weeks!0 -
Okay, I NEED to stay off the scale until Monday! I stepped on it after my workout and had sweat out another pound last night. :laugh:
I'm sure it's back now. Ready to kill it this week!!0 -
Rach--this has been the best topic ever..I have always tried to lose weight since I have ALWAYS been overweight..and knowing I have to lose weight because I have to post it every week, keeps me motivated. Yes, I might have weeks where I get bored with my food and my exercise, but in the end I know it's going to pay off..for example: I have been helping with our Confirmation class at Church, and last night was their ceremony, so I had to dress up. I put on a dress yesterday that did not fit me last November. It felt so good to be able to wear it. I got so many compliment last night. It made me feel so good!!! Down, 24.5 pounds and counting since November. I want to lose another 20 pounds and I know with all the support from this forum and this website, I will be able to do it!!! THANKS AGAIN!!! :-)0

Okay...seeing that I am up 2.2 lbs since starting this has gotten me fired up! I saw my doctor today and will be starting physical therapy soon so there may be a light at the end of the tunnel as far as my running is concerned. That has me feeling a bit better.
In the meantime, I am going to get on the recumbent bike in the mornings (at least 3 each week) despite the fact that it bores me to tears. To help alleviate some of that boredom, I will be studying to get my motorcycle permit in the hopes of getting my motorcycle license this year!
Additionally, I am going to (re)start the 100 PushUps Challenge beginning tomorrow morning since it has been a full week since I have done any at all.
With any luck, I will actually see a loss come Monday!!
Keep up the GREAT work, ladies!!!!0 -
Great job everyone! Hopefully next week I can make more of an impact on the final results!! 0
