    Way to go everyone from last time round and welcome to all the new ones :flowerforyou:

    Rach Thank you for all your work to keep us organized! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    For me I need to stay focused. I had 2 pretty major colds durring the last round and had trouble staying on track for about 6 weeks because of it living in my chest it was hard to workout and I used that as an excuse to eat more comfort foods... Just a bad cycle. This round will be better! :smile:

    Dang ladies, over 328lbs lost!!! That feels awesome! I'm glad to be a part of this again with you ladies and welcome to the new pin ups.

    What worked for me was logging in regularly to the chat thread to see the successes and struggles of my fellow pin ups. It feels good to be part of a community like this where we are all so open and have a lot of similar experiences.

    My goals for this round are to 1) make it to onederland and 2) log my food every day.

    I'm really going to focus this round on cooking more dinners, especially on the weekend. I did see a difference in my Wed weight versus my Mon weight after a weekend of eating out.
    I also experimented one week with "hiding" the scale between Monday weigh-ins. It was so hard, but ultimately was a good thing for my mental health. I am so addicted I weigh several times a day and even after having a good experience hiding it, I slipped right back in the next week. I need to break that addiction and commit to only weighing one time per week.

    yay so glad to be a part of this one :flowerforyou:

    what day do we officially start? and what days do we weigh in?

    In the next 10 weeks would really like to lose at least 15lbs if possible and keep logging as well as I have been.
    My biggest challenge is to not be so hard on myself if I have a 'bad' day.

    Can you add me too please? I'm in the UK, so my weight log in will be earlier than all of you on the other side of the pond, but I would love to have extra motivation, and you all seem such a lovely bunch...being a pin-up girl appeals to me! :wink:

    SW: 163
    CW: 156

    Goals:

    - Lose 20lb in the next 10 Weeks - it's a tight schedule but I'm off on holiday at the beginning of September, so I really hope if I try hard enough I can achieve it.

    - Complete Gillian Michael's 30 day Shred.

    - Start running again - aim for two 3 mile runs per week.

    - Aim to cook homemade healthy dinners as much as possible.

    - Drink more water.

    Thanks very much.

    um... i only lost 2.8 lbs the last 10 weeks! and it's cause i didnt try very hard. so i'm glad we are in week 1! it's like a new start for me to get serious about this.
    i've lost a total of 70 lbs and i would LOVE to get to maintaining, so I can finally forget about "losing weight"!! I know I can maintain, I've done it for the last year! ugh...:grumble:
    this time around I'm going to work REAL hard on my sugar. you know.. like not eating a half a plate of brownies!!:noway: moderation, moderation, moderation. And smaller dinners! And I know from the past that not eating after 6 Really helps!! because then I have time to digest and burn those dinner calories, instead of letting them rot in my gut through out the night.
    I can do this! One choice at a time!
    and good luck to everyone!! :happy:

    I updated the charts on the first page, but I'm not sure how long it'll take for it to reflect in those images.

    The total amount lost for the group last round is now 354.6lbs! :noway:

    Can't wait for this round to begin! I'm thrilled that I lost 15 lbs last round (1.5 avg. per week and down one pants size!) and look forward to some encouragement from you fellow pin-ups this time around!

    What worked for you the last 10 weeks? I log EVERYTHING I eat... no little bites here and there - it'll be on my diary. For those of you who "zigzag" - I do the same, but don't really plan it. I just expect to eat above my goal 1-2 times a week and I'm alright with that! Also drinking 8-12 glasses of water per day, and working out 5-6 times a week doing a variety of things.

    What are you goals this round? My weekly calorie counts have been above my goal (only by 100-300 cals) but this hasn't affected the scale, since I do a lot of walking that I don't log. I'd like to keep my weekly count under or at my target!
    I plan to do a good mix of yoga (vinyasa flow) and cardio (and more strength!) 5-6 times a week.

    What are you going to do the same or change this time? My mentality is the same... this is a journey. I won't beat myself up over the bag of peanut m&m's I just ate for example :blushing: because I alloted for it and have a great workout ahead of me after work! Enjoy life, food, friends and all the sweat running down your face as you work hard for your goal. I can almost see that finish line in the distance.

    Thanks again Rach for your mad awesome organizational skills! :flowerforyou:

    sw today is 203.5

    What worked for you the last 10 weeks? I was not part of the pin ups but Getting even a little more movement into my daily life makes a huge difference.


    What are your goals this round? Goal for the next 10 weeks is to loose 15 lbs. I want to use the eleptical and bike everyday with a minimum of 30 mins. Plus get my 30 min walk in. Keep my foods on track and get my daily veggies.

    I really look forward these next weeks. In ten weeks I have a big knitting sock event and I want to feel and look my best.

    My goals for this round are:

    1. Lose Between 10-15lbs. (this will put me at or close to goal weight!!!)
    2. Continue with P90X workouts to tone up...even if it's not everyday. Maybe add in some Turbo Fire!
    3. Reduce my Carb Intake
    4. Get my bike out of storage and working so that I can take my kiddies riding :)

    I still cannot believe I lost 11.6 lbs in 10 weeks!!

    What worked for you the last 10 weeks?
    ~Making sure I drink lots of water, exercise and just enjoy life. I also made sure to log everything.

    What are you goals this round?
    ~My goal this round is to lose 15lbs (which would put me at 152lbs) Hopefully I will go over that -15lb lose but we shall see. Moderation is the key especially since the first 4 weeks, I will be in PA.

    What are you going to do the same or change this time?
    ~I am definitely going to keep on logging, exerciseing 6 days a week and drinking water. I am going to try to up the number of ounces to 100oz. I am going to try to eat cleaner.. giving up sweets/alcohol/soda...

    So, what do we need to do? We just come on and give Rach our weights on Mondays? I'm excited to know that we are all doing this together!

    How do we see our totals? Just come in here and go to the first post every time? Is that right?

    Guess I need to answer my own questions...


    What worked for you the last 10 weeks?
    I really stepped up my exercise the last couple weeks and definitely feel like I notice a difference in the mirror, if not a huge one on the scale. It's starting to become more of a habit and I don't feel so much like I'm 'forcing' myself to do it.


    What are you goals this round?
    Goals this round are to stick to P90x. I'm going to be a grad!!! I also want to focus on more protein, less carbs.


    What are you going to do the same or change this time?
    This time I'm going to focus more on getting my water in, cutting out all drinks besides water/milk/oj (I had another iced coffee today :/ ), and preparing more meals ahead of time so I don't eat crap out of laziness.
