Hello all,
I hope everyone made it through the forum changes unscathed. We're getting closer to having mobile access to the forums, which will be a big game-changer for a lot of members!
Day 15 we didn't hear from much of the group, largely due to posts being turned off. However, it looks like the forums are up and running now.
What are your goals for Day 16, and what are you doing to be successful?

Bring on Day 16! My goal is to get C25K week 6, run 2 in. It's been a hell of a week with behavioral problems with the kiddo. I have to work both jobs, so I'm going to be exhausted at the end of the day, and I'm not a morning person so I'm not sure I'll be able to get up early enough to get the run in before my day begins.
Other goals:
Reach my calories, and continue eating clean
Get my water, at least 12 glasses
Avoid alcohol (it's been a stressful week...)0 -
Hi all,
the new forums are quite a change... will need some time to get used to it. Right now I miss the easy access to the group forums. But we'll see, they sure will tweak it over the next time. And there are some nice new features
Day 16:
Main goal for today is going to the gym! I haven't been for about 2 weeks, due to doctor's orders to avoid straining some stitches in the back. They are gone now, and I am allowed back to the gym
Besides this, staying below the calorie limit (and eating back at most half of the calories gained from working out), logging everything, and drinking enough.0 -
Good morning. It was a bummer not being able to post anything yesterday but hopefully the updates will be good. Yesterday my meals were good but I am still losing the battle with my snack monster. I am trying to think of ways to get that under control. Yesterday I went to my son's last football game of the season. I have not been to any since the first one because of my back. By the end of the game though my back was hurting. It may be too soon to be sitting on concrete. I needed to go though for obvious parental reasons. I start my physical therapy today. I am both nervous and excited to get started.
Today's goals
Drink more water - I did horrible on this yesterday
Eat fewer and/or better snacks - I am going to pack myself some paleo snacks to take to work
Walk around the office a few times - If I get too bust and sit too long my back starts to hurt
Walk out of PT with a plan0 -
day 15 i fell over the wagon a bit.... chips ..ugh
Day 16 is filled with my triple hundred challenge and week 2 day 3 of my c25k.
Water is key today. Im ready to face the day0 -
So far food intake has been fine and still walking. Nursing this darn blister is taking longer than anticipated. Going on week two so I had to stop with T25 until it heals. Bring on the day!0

Well I haven't posted since last Friday, so need to get back in the grove.
Yesterday I had a victory with my fitness goal - I was able to jog the entire 2 miles without stopping with a pace of just over 10 min mile. So I was pretty pumped about that.
Goals for Day 16
- Drink 80-90 oz of water
- Stay under calorie goal (will be a huge challenge as we are going out to eat bbq for lunch at work today)
- Do strength training and light cardio (walking)
Let's make it happen!0 -
Yesterday was great. I did my run, my steps, and hit my calorie goal. So all in all, a successful day.
Goals for today:
1. Stay within calorie goal (eating at my parents, so could be an issue)
2. 10,000 steps (this is going to be hard today with my work schedule and after work schedule)
3. Rest day from exercising!0 -
Good Morning All
Yesterday I was able to meet all of my goals (I just barely made the under my calorie limit, but hey every once in a while a girl needs a glass of wine). Today will be more of the same. Right now I need to strive for consistency even more than I need to strive for losing weight.
Goals:
stay under calorie limit
eat balanced meals
hit 10,000 steps
drink lots of water0 -
Hi everyone, I'm so happy things are back to normal and we can communicate with each other.
I feel like myself again after hitting the gym yesterday and squaring, deadlifting and swimming. I did back off the weights a bit since I haven't lifted in over a month but all in all it was a great success. Calories and macros were well in check and today I plan to enjoy my rest day, eat good food and let my body rebuild itself stronger
I wish you all the best! Have a fantastic day!0 -
Hi all
Well I have been slacking a bit lately but the numbers I saw on this challenge spreadsheet yesterday (390 lb lost!!) made me jump to the sky!!! I feel so motivated this morning and my plan is to hit my 10K walk today (if not more)!!!
Respect my planned calories and just believe in my goal every minute! Congrats to all of you challengers, you are terrific!!
Have a wonderful DAY today, we are already day 16, almost 20% far!! We can do this 0 -
Had a good day yesterday, stayed within calorie goal, did disk 2 of Jillian Michaels beginner shred, spin class and boot camp. Water intake still not up where I want it to be, have to keep working on that. Today is disk 2 again, hot yoga and maybe a walk depending on the time.0

Ugggh! I dont like the layout. Need darker lines to separate each post at least! Anywho, glad the lock out on forums is over.
Back to business.
Water... need to drink water today!
Wednesdays are busy busy with work and then Bible study so I may not get any extra exercise in. I'm considering restarting C25K, I need to get focused and push myself. I'm not making the progress that I feel I should be.
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.0 -
Day 15 went well even if I couldn't get into the forums for support (had to complain just a little bit)
Today's plan:- Fast day today - around 500 calories
- Lots and lots of water - I'm already on my 4th bottle!
- Rest my back - even though I'm dying to get on the bike or even walk, my back is still sore. It is getting better though!
Hope everyone has a great day!!0 -
I just need to refocus...and get more than 8000 steps in each day. Started to walk to work, so that is helpful, and need to stop emotionally eating. The stress from work should be over in 2 weeks...just hope I can hang in there til then. So will try to eat within my calorie range and move more!0

Today is a busy day for me. I plan on making time for my workout and staying under my calories, not going to taco bell for lunch as is custom. And I need to get to bed at a better hour. The last 3 nights I have been up until 1 or 2 AM and it just isn't helping my energy levels at all which is hindering my performance on many different levels.
Happy Hump Day everyone!0 -
Goals for the day:
- 64oz of water
- Stay within calorie limits

Day 16 goals are to walk at least 30 minutes and stay within calories limit.0

Yesterday I was 6 cal under my goal. nothing like cutting it close.
Day 16 - Keeping the same goal all week to be under my calorie limit. Tonight is going to be hard as I slipped up and had a jumbo muffin in a meeting at work, but I keep telling myself I CAN DO IT!!! Just thinking of what I can adjust in dinner plans.0 -
Yesterday ended up being miles and miles better than Monday. Got to the gym (19 miles by bike), ate under calories, and went to bed at a reasonable hour, all after a day jam packed with crises at work and getting tons of work done.
My goals for today are to stay on track and not let excuses get in the way of reaching my goals. I'd like to get to the gym, but my clothes need to be washed and I'm a bit pooped from yesterday. I might have another pair of pants I could use...
Today I already had a little victory. I was ordering coffee and asked for pumpkin flavor, thinking it was a sugar free addition. I looked up the nutrition information beforehand and didn't end up drinking it (170 calories of pure sugar).
I'm looking to make dinner at home today and avoid procrastinating at work (so far so good). I'd also like to get to bed at a reasonable time. Tomorrow my agency is having a staff development day at a local lake and I'm running an activity, so I'll need to be on my game.

Whoooops I had forgotten about this challenge I admit!
Looks like everyone is pretty active so I'll try and keep up
End of September I had a definite "not so good time" so went up about 4 pounds, finally hit below my starting weight today.
Today I have a riding lesson, still pretty sore from my lifts/conditioning Monday - so "skipped" my lunch lifting workout. Hope to stop by the gym after the lesson if I'm feeling up to it.
Just in the process of modifying my food settings to TDEE -20%, but that's a work in progress. I was using my Fitbit to get a general idea but that fizzled out, so onto plan B.0 -
Hi everyone
I have been a little absent from the group whilst getting back on track, but looks like everyone has been doing amazing work!

Hope everyone has a great day / evening depending on where in the world you are :-)0 -

Add in a walk this evening and give yourself some extra calories to make up for the muffin.0 -
Hi arrrrjt - no problem, better late than never! I too gained from my start weight and am hoping to be back down for the next weigh-in.0

Day 16! Today is quiet day for me as I finished night shift this morning, so I'm just sticking with my calorie goal today and hitting the gym tomorrow. I'm also planning out my meals for the next week today. Have a great day everyone!

im doing ok with both my intake and exercise. Managed a nice comfortable 5k yesterday morning, made me realize im pushing myself a little to much during the park runs on a saturday morning, but its hard not to try for a good time when there is people running at 50% of your time. but i really enjoyed my run yesterday chatting to a friend all the way round. it made me realize i dont hate running after all.
stayed within my calorie limit all week after my splurging weekend. Home cooked family evening meal planned and prepared, menu planning and food shopping done for next week too.
hard Kickboxing class tonight in preparation for my grading on saturday.0 -

Day 16 goals
