    Great job ladies. I love reading these to help with the motivation. I love the idea of tracking our exercise to. I think it helps us feel more accountable. Feel free to add me as a friend also.

    Thanks for letting me join Leslie!

    This week's check-in:
    Current weight: 127.8
    Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? I am definetely tracking my measurement(s). Especially when the scale doesn't move much for me, it is better for me to look at my measurements.

    My official weigh ins are Saturday mornings. As of this morning however I'm up 2 lbs, thanks to being a woman, so hopefully after some shredding and whatnot that water weight bloating will be blasted away.

    Congrats on everyone and their losses! Friday's my payday and I think I'm going to get a dvd or two off Amazon to add some varitey to my workouts

    Hi girls, and welcome to WEEK TWO of our Bikini by July 4th Challenge!!! I have now closed this group due to it's size and my ability to track it all. If you checked in last week you're in, so keep checkin' in!!!!

    Current weight: 185
    Pounds lost since last week: 1
    Question of the week: Yes I am doing them monthly and am super happy about my first results: Right thigh -2"; Left thigh -1.5"; Right arm -1.5"; Left arm -1.75"; Natural waist -1", Hips -1.5!!!!

    This week my workout plan is as follows:
    Sunday: Rest day
    Monday: C25K and yoga
    Tuesday: cardio muscle and30DS - missed this and will add it to tomorrow.
    Wednesday: C25K and yoga

    Friday: C25K and something else to make an hour
    Saturday: Weights and some fat burn on the treadmill
    **I take my two breaks at work and walk a mile in 20 minutes, so that is an additional 40 minutes each day. I was off work Tuesday though so I did NOTHING and I am sad about that :angry:

    Alright, sorry it took me so long!

    This week's check-in:
    Current weight: 126.7
    Pounds lost since last week: .7 (I didn't specify that last week I was at 127.4)
    Question of the week: Are you tracking inches too? No :( I still have to go buy a tape measure.

    note: I might not do very well this week--I mean, I'll eat well, but I can't exercise too much because of a recent stress fracture in my ankle and I'm on crutches :(

    Oh no you poor thing! How did you manage that?

    I ran too much too fast about 3 months ago and then didn't take very good care of it because I was training for a triathlon and when I competed in the triathlon last Saturday, my ankle got pretty mad at me...hahah but I got xrays last night and I'm happy to say there's no NEW stress fracture, just bruising from the old one and a pretty bad sprain! Hopefully I'll be off crutches soon, they're terrible

    Oh my gosh girl look after your wee self!

    It's hard when you are focused on a goal to put that aside I know - hope you are feeling better soon and are back onto it :)

    Thanks to the poster who clued us in... I didn't realize there was a week 2 thread!:laugh: Will there be a new one every week?

    I'm peeved with my scale.
    Last week: 130.2
    This week: 132.4

    I took measurements yesterday but wont measure again for at least 30 days.

    I started P90X last week and my theory is that the gain is reflective of water retention from muscles tearing, swelling and repairing.... oh, and the fact that I ate more food and justified it because I was doing "hard" workouts. I also confess to two fast food visits, one involving two sandwiches. :grumble: The scale is showing me the error of my ways. :wink:

    This week's workouts:
    Monday - rest
    Tuesday- Chest/ Back and Ab Ripper X
    Wednesday-Plyometrics
    Thursday - Shoulders/Arms and Ab Ripper X
    Friday - Yoga X
    Saturday - Legs and Back and Ab Ripper X
    Sunday - Kenpo X

    Monday - 30DS, 20mins elliptical
    Tuesday - 20mins walk (rest day)
    Wednesday - 30DS, 25mins elliptical, 40mins walk

    Saturday - 30DS, 30mins elliptical + weights
    Sunday - 40mins walk (rest day)

    When I put it like that I am a GOOD person!! Wow. I should chill out a bit.

    Finally weighing- I'm at 166.7 so I lost around 2 lbs. This week is super rough because of all the drinking and celebratory (lame excuse, I know) eating. I walked for 45 minutes and did level 1 of Ripped in 30. I didn't really feel like I got that great of a burn in but at least I was moving...

    I'm only going to track measurements every couple of weeks. I like to see change and I don't think I'll see too much week to week.

    Happy Thursday ladies! Keep up the great work and keep busting your butts to get in that bikini!! It's almost summer time :)

    Current weight: 201.2
    Weight Loss: NONE. In fact I'm up .4 lbs
    Measurements: I do measure myself once a month and I'm sad to say I've not lost anything since beginning MFP in January. I'm pretty darn PO'd about that too.


    Got way-sided by a back injury a couple weeks ago and am getting back into the swing of things this week. Managed to spin twice and run once—repeating Week 3 of the C25K program since that is where I left off—frustrating though knowing I **should've** been on Week 5 now; but just have to remind myself that I'm getting back on track now and that's the important thing. Debating on doing a 30DS work-out tonight but not sure if my shoulders are up to the challenge as they've been acting tweaky as well and still are.

    aww, thanks fromaquizer! Haha I'll try to remember to take care of myself next time. I saw the doctor today, though (not the stupid clinic doctors, the real one)...crutches for 2 more weeks :(:(:( He caught something on the xrays that the doctor at the clinic didn't.

    Mini victory for myself, I actually completed an entire workout on level 1 of the 30DS and I did not stop to take one break. This is such a HUGE accomplishment for me because I ALWAYS would put the weights down for a 8 count:sad: or take a knee and catch my breath:embarassed: and for the first time ever I completed an entire workout with Jillian! Yay me! :happy: :drinker:

    TOM visited me this past week, so no weight loss so far. However, I'm planning on making some progress this next week!

    Haven't weighed in, but I'm sure I haven't gained anything. I'll be sure to go hard this next week and have a lost at next week's weigh-in.

    @Moremari - so sorry you have your son's cold. Hope you are feeling much better soon.

    @Sam363 - Great job this week! Love your fitness plan, sounds like a great one!

    @Stariera - Amazing! 7 lbs in one week! I'm so happy for you!

    My weigh in is tomorrow. I was super on track through the weekend - worked out every day, ate right. Got on the scale this morning and I was up half a pound :-(. I'm ignoring it and will weigh in tomorrow. That half a pound better be gone. I really need to go workout but am just not in the mood - volunteered at the kids school this morning and they sucked all the energy right out of me.:ohwell:
