:flowerforyou: Great Job Everyone!! :flowerforyou:
This week's challenge: Give up one day of eating out this week. Packing a lunch at work instead of eating out has helped me to lose this past week.
Good luck this week everyone!!
That's a challenge I can handle, seeing as I never get to eat out anymore. Unless you call grabing a Subway eating out.

I do this when I am at work when I am not too busy Dont tell the boss!! lol! I know this may be inconvenient for some but I cant make everyone happy

Can you tell?0 -
Doing great on not eating out and fruits and veggies- the 400 calories a day is a killer though (at least for me). I need some ideas on how. I go for a brisk walk pushing my 2.5 year old and carrying my 1 year old (in a carrier) for about 45 minutes every day but that only burns 176 calories- not even half!0

I need to share! While in Ottawa, I decided to take the bus or walk were I wanted to go. I got in about 4 hrs of walking which i logged in as walking at a slow pace, the 2 other days I was traveling - takes 8 hrs to get to Ottawa from where I live. I also made the most healthy choices while I eating out... I am happy and looking forward to weighing in...0 -

Last week i joined the gym and I've been lifting weights, so I didn't loss much weight this week I only lost 1.4 pounds this week. That is ok that means I'm building some good mass. I hit the weights hard five times this week and I have been eating about 150 grams of protein a day. Each day focusing on a diff muscle group. After lifting I'm still doing about 40 minutes of cardio. I tell you what It's been four years, since I've lifted and it hurts so good. Since Jan third I've lost 39 pounds and i went from wearing size 38 to a size 34. I am loving the way i feel and look. I have three months to get toned for my trip to Vegas, so that is why I'm hitting the weights real hard. My goal is to add about five pounds of mass for my trip. I know i can do it if i keep eating healthy and working out five times a week with six days of week of cardio. Hope everyone is doing well and ya'll have a great weekend.0 -
I'm sad I have been working out every single day, hitting it hard at the gym, eating clean and the scale didn't move this week 0

*Sorry if you name is not on the list.:grumble: It is difficult to keep up with everyone especially when many dont come back to check in. Also the SW should be LW for Last Weight.
CONGRATULATIONS :drinker: *~* _TABBY_*~* :drinker: You have once again stole the lead!!! Wow and what an amazing loss!!! Ok, now you get to tell Everyone how you did it!!! And dont forget that you get to make the mini challenge for this week!
Well Done Everyone!!! We are on a roll!!!!! 0 -

Aw, Thank you SO much! Everyone here is doing awesome!!. :flowerforyou:
So... let's see what did I do this week that helped? When I look over my past week the thing that stands out to me most are 2 big burns. Both days I worked out in chunks throughout the day and also on those days instead of all walking as usual I started jogging my last laps. I think that change of pace is what caused me to have my biggest loss yet going into 10 weeks here.
So for this week's mini challenge: Shake up your routine! 2 days this week challenge yourself to try a new workout.
We are 1/2 way there, so let's do this! Have an amazing week all!!0 -

Hi! I'm back. Had a nice vacation in Florida. Still cannot believe it: haven't gained a pound!
So I'm still at 147, I don't mind not loosing a pound last week, I really ate "more": tasty burritos with margaritas. But I went at Whole food and bought ham-cheese and bread so I made my own sandwiches for lunches. I didn't eat any snacks on evenings (with the warm weather I just wasn't hungry).
Coming back here (up-north) has been TERRIBLE. It's freaking COLD and allergies have started. My allergy medecine (Benadryl) give me cravings, it's HARD.0
