    Hi - I have been tracking my food and exercise on this site for a while, but have never joined a group...I could use a kick in the pants! I lost 18 lbs from Jan - April and have gained 6 back...I have 15 - 20 lbs that I would like to lose...how do I join your Sixers Headed for the Beach challenge?

    This a six week challenge. we go for six weeks, weigh ins on tuesdays. We are a great bunch of ladies looking for support to give and receive through this tough life long journey.
    Anyone may join.

    Explanation of how we work. please read, if you have any questions someone will be happy to help you.

    the SW is your STARTING WEIGHT OF THIS SIX WEEK CHALLENGE
    the GW is your GOAL WEIGHT OF WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE THE SCALE TO SAY AT THE END OF SIX WEEKS
    the CW is your CURRENT WEIGHT AT THE WEIGH IN FOR THAT WEEK
    the PROGRESS is your LOSS/GAIN FROM THE STARTING WEIGHT OF THE CHALLENGE
    copy and paste the list. there will most likely be a top section and bottom section when you check in with your weight (right now it's just one). move your name from the bottom section to the top section. If you are the first to check in than just move your name to the top and add a space between you and the ones below you.

    Hi Chipper -
    I am 43 and have been married for 13 years (almost)...I have 2 step children (daughter 24) and son (18). My stepdaughter is a teacher in a school for children with mental illness (she is so good) and my stepson is graduating from high school this week and has joined the Air Force - we are just waiting to find out what his job will be and when he will leave for boot camp. I work in the Consumer Packaged Goods industry and have a job with great work / life balance! It is time for me to take control of my daily diet and to make exercise a priority. I have the time! The hardest part for me is that my husband does not like to exercise (except for hiking) and I NEED to exercise to lose / maintain my weight...
    I look forward to the support and accountability of this group!

    Thanks for letting me join!
    Julie

    Thank you!
    I am also going to get more serious about eating Paleo again...cut way down on my carbs, sodium, and dairy and increase my lean protein and veggetables!
    I look forward to posting tomorrow!

    Hi Julie, welcome to the group! I'm Clare and I am from the UK (I think I may be the only English Rose in the group actually?!) I work in Local Government and am on a healthy weight loss journey ready for my wedding in June 2012. People are starting to bug me about going dress shopping now (bit early?!) and I am determined not to go until I am lovely and slimline! Anyway, welcome :-)

    Good morning my Sixers!!

    Julie...WELCOME!! We are SO happy to have you join us! This is an EXCEPTIONAL group!
    Cathy...Thanks for starting this!

    Well...started level 2 of the Ripped in 30 last night and it is pretty challenging. I didn't burn as many calories as I did with level 1, but I think there is more core work! Hoping to see some good results this week with this level! I WILL lose 5 pounds this challenge! I need to! I have about 12 pounds to reach my goal weight and I want to reach that before Kadence's 2nd birthday (September 5th). So...time to DO IT!

    Plan today:
    Food--
    B-Frosted mini wheats with fruit, skim milk, coffee w/sugar free creamer
    S-Banana, cereal bar
    L-1 sl. european rye, 1 oz. jack cheese, german salami, lettuce, baby carrots, light yogurt
    S-Red grapes
    D-Homemade Fiesta Turkey pie
    S-Newton fruit thins-chocolate raspberry

    Exercise--
    JM Ripped in 30-level 2
    Walk or run depending on how hot it is!


    Have a FABULOUS day gals!

    okay, so I have lofty goals this time too (10 lbs same as last time). I really would LOVE to get down to the 140's by the wedding -- only 3 weeks to go. I know that's like 6lbs in 3 weeks, but i really think that i actually have some water weight form this weekend to get rid of, so we will see. I need to up my work outs too -- it's not as if i don't have the time right now (son is still visiting his grandparents in Alabama)

    Hi ladies! I would be interested in joining your group. I really need to get some motivation to get myself back on track! And to slim down some before my SIL-to-be's wedding! :)

    Good Morning ladies!
    Welcome ladies!
    I didn't weigh in this morning, I had put my scale away saturday :explode:
    Seems like the past 4 weeks or more the scale hasn't moved. I have bumped up my cardio so hoping that will help!! I'm ready to head to the beach and buy a new bathingsuit!!

    tonight I am running for 45 mins and then lifting weights.

    Have a Terrific Tuesday!!

    Hi All,

    Welcome to the newbies!!!! :flowerforyou:

    I set a 10lb goal for this challenge - I know this is a lot of weight to drop in 6 weeks but I am still holding the weekends water weight... so once that works its self out I should be back in the 160's.... I am hoping for a 3-4lb loss next week!

    I didn't eat well the last 2 days... make that 3.... plus my water intake was down. Kicking it in gear this week - I don't have any plans for the weekend either so I should be able to stay on track!

    This is so fun!
    In January, I started eating Paleo and bumped up my exercise (cardio) as I was recovering from shoulder surgery. I lost 18 pounds in 8 weeks and felt GREAT! My sister and her husband started eating Paleo in January and last weekend my sister hit the 30 pounds lost mark! My brother-in-law lost 30 pounds a while ago, but that's a man for you!
    Along with eating Paleo (eating the way our Paleolithic ancestors did - hunters and gatherers), I also cut way back on my carbs, dairy, and sugar (I have a terrible sweet tooth and there are evil people at my office that bring cakes and cookies to work every week!). Paleo is heavy up with lean protein, vegetables, and a little fruit.

    I bought a couple of books about Paleo and also follow a blog (Everydaypaleo.com) for great tips and podcasts.

    Some of my food staples are:
    Coconut Oil - I sautee lots of veggies in coconut oil with a dash of sea salt
    Quinoa - I cook this in low sodium chicken or beef broth and but in chopped up vegetables - delicious!
    Omega 3 Eggs - hard boiled as a snack or scrambled with veggies for breakfast
    Whole (skinned) chicken - I season with olive oil, no sodium seasoning, place in ceramic pot with low sodium chicken broth, bake for 1 hour and take out of oven - let chicken cool and then peel from the bone. I will make chicken fajitas, chicken salad, put chicken in my salad, etc...my family will eat off of this all week
    Lean ground beef
    Ground Turkey

    There are lots of options - just takes some planning...I know that if I "fail to plan, I can plan to fail!"

    Thanks for letting me into your group - I have a goal of 12 pounds in the next 6 weeks, but know that getting back to eating right and exercise, I can do it!
    Julie

    afternoon....

    welcome kim....
    julie...that sounds interesting. i use to cook with coconut oil, stop when i ran out. it makes food taste different. great for fish.

    well, lady said as far as she was concerned i got the job. she still needs to discuss it with husband. he owns the company. he's worried cause i live almost an hours drive. he liked the lady who lived in the same town. but, i got along better with and the dog (boxer) loved me. she was all over me. she will pay under table and every friday and $1 more an hour than i wanted. so talking to DH tonight. she said she would call me on monday and let me know. they are leaving town tomorrow afternoon for her FIL funeral. he passed last week. so for part time, 3 days a week. about 2 hours comute each day. pros/cons. will have to think. it's stepping out of my confort zone, that's why i am stalling. i need to step out of it and move forward.

    later

    Hey everyone. I guess I'm not the only one that has been busy. This past weekend we did a whole lot of yard work to put up one of those Intex pools. Got it on clearance at the end of the summer last year. It's 16' by 48". I got it for $99, it originally goes for $380, so I couldn't pass it up. Took us 2 days to fill the thing. I let the girls go play in it today, then I got in. I was able to wear a swimsuit that I haven't been able to wear for like 10 yrs. It is practically brand new. Though I don't look as good in it as I did when I had bought it :)

    I hope everyone has a great night. Later!!
