Pin-up Girls! - Week 1

wow 26lbs in 10 weeks that is so fabulous!! im so excited to start the next round!! thank you for this thread! im starting to feel like the inner pin-up is coming out!! woohooo!

Rach - Thanks so much for all the work you do each week!! Looking forward to another 10 weeks!!

What worked for me last round? The accountability of knowing that I was gonna see my weight posted on the board. While I didn't always come through and yo-yo'd a bit, it felt good to have that extra accountability.

What are my goals? To actually lose at least one pound per week. I am doing more working out now, and I am recommitting to eating well!! My 6.2 lb loss from the first round was okay, but I know that I can do better!!

What will I do differently this round? I tend to give myself too much slack on the weekends and use them as an excuse to stray from eating well. So, I hope to limit my eating out. My boyfriend and I tend to go out all weekend, and I would like to at least make sure that I cook for myself (and him too!) on Sundays and at least every other Saturday.

Welcome to all the new gals!!!! Best of luck to each and every one of you!!!

me too! CW 184 goal 145! how does it work?

hope its not too late =| sw: 137 i believe

I'd love to joint as well!

SW/CW: 168
Goal Weight (31 December) 135

Being new, I can't say what worked or what I'd change/keep. But, I can rock on setting goals!

My goal for this ten weeks is to bust through the plateau that's held me for the last about three weeks. I also want to drink more water ("enough" isn't good enough!), and by the end of the ten weeks, I'd like to weigh in at 185 (though I suspect 190-193 will be more likely). I want to bust my *kitten*, I want to look good, I want to be a help to others, and have others help me. This challenge will end just before my son's third birthday, and if I can get down to the weight I delivered him at (~180's), I will be over the moon!!



(side note, I lost 40 pounds without meaning to while pregnant. Within eight weeks of his birth, ALL FORTY CAME BACK. This is why I don't trust doctors at all. They looked at me like I was toting a diaper bag full of doritos and beer, and didn't bother to assess further than that to see that I wasn't regularly eating enough - they saw a fat woman, and *knew* it was overeating of junk, and refused to look any further.)

I'd love to join if it's not too late. I saw the last round's thread and thought the charts were great. Thank you for doing the work!

SW: 211
weight today: 194.6
Goal: 135

Wow, Rach, it looks like we are keeping you busy with all the new adds. Thanks so much for letting me in! I'm looking forward to getting to know all the pin-ups in here.

What worked for you the last 10 weeks? I wasn't part of the challenge, but what I've realized on my own for the last 4 or 5 weeks is that I must log everything. No excuses. I will continue to do that.

What are you goals this round? I'd like to lose at least 12 pounds. That will put me into the 170's! I've also got my eye on a size 12 skirt.

What are you going to do the same or change this time? As a new pin-up, I'll continue to log all my food as I have been on my own. I'm going to make sure I'm eating at least 5 servings of vegetables a day and I'll continue to exercise at least 5 days a week.

Thanks again for starting a new challenge!

Goal in the next 10 weeks is to keep consistent with exercise and eating enough. My weight goal is 148. We are going on vacation in the middle of the challenge so I'm just going to try and stay on track even on the road and with family, funny thing is, i just got pin-up pictures done a few days ago.

You all look like you had a fantastic 10 weeks with a lot of successes!!!

I hope it's not too late but I'd love to join. SW: 198
