    This week was probibly at a defict from the start since I was out of town and had induldged in resturant foods and did not really join in until Friday. But, I did manage to get back to the weight I had started with at my last weigh in last monday and a couple ounces.
    I managed to walk and I did workout on the bike and ellipitical Sunday, and proud of myself that I got back on the elliptical today too.
    I am looking forward to being challenged, and love to have the accountability.

    I've been doing pretty well with the workouts. One day was just gardening, but I've been walking all the other days. I've been under calories all week, but still need to work on eating healthier.

    Hello everyone!

    Hope everyone had a great Monday. I have had a good last few days. Walked on Friday, Sunday, and today (Monday), also did 7 minutes on the elliptical today. Haven't been on an elliptical machine in probably 4 years. Swam on Saturday and had so much fun. I envy all of you doing JM or Insanity and look forward to the day when I can do the same. For now, me and my broken right foot will continue with walking, swimming, and ellipticaling - lol!

    THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!

    Sorry it took so long, was waiting on a couple of people.
    For those who lost weight, WELL DONE!! and for those ladies who didn't see the scale move as they would like, HANG IN THERE! This is only week 1, we have many more weigh ins ahead :)

    WeekOne-1.jpg

    Congratulations to vrags2 and bethabeeg for doing so well this week! :drinker:

    If I got any of your stats on here wrong, please lemme know and i'll be sure to correct them in time for the next chart!


    THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:
    We are all about nutrition this week. I know one of our rules is to stay under calories, but we wanna make sure the calories we get in are actually good ones. So to kick it up a notch, I want all of us to stay under our sugar goals FOR THE WHOLE WEEK! :glasses:

    Haha, yes I said it, and no I'm not crazy, but often we find that even though we stay under our calories, we are going over nutrients like sugar that we should really be mindful of, so CUT IT OUT! lol. You'll find that sugar also makes you retain water and also your body spends time burning the sugar that it doesn't burn enough fat!

    Try to check in everyday to let us know how you are doing with this added challenge, as well as with your exercise! :wink:

    HAVE A GREAT DAY!

    well I'm over my sugar budget for today. I couldn't resist I made pig cupcakes for kobey's graduation into sixth grade. He brought three home after i sent all but three to school and i had one... Oh well I'll change my food area goal to keep in track that sugars this week :)

    Sugar is going to be a hard one since i went over at breakfast. I have a bunch of fruit in my house that needs to be eaten so I dont know what I will do this week but I do know I dont eat a lot of processed sugars although I really know that does not make a huge difference.
    I did not know that you body burns the sugar...So that is something to keep in the back of my mind. Learning all this nutrition stuff is enlightening and scary since I am older and have been eating wrong for so long.

    Today exercise wise I have burn a bunch of calories and when I got on the scale today I seen a loss (yes I am a daily weigher, it helps me remember how fat I really am) So I am excited about gearing my body up and moving to the next level of my journey. I see the 280's in my near future!

    No worries girl! shake it off and start fresh tomorrow. We are all about making lifestyle changes one thing at a time.

    For everyone, it might be hard at first but you'll find you can do it. Today i went over my sugar by 4g, (damn carrots :grumble:) So what did i do? I got my butt up and worked out! I'm sore all over, but i don't have a big shiny red number telling me i could do better lol.

    Hello everyone,
    Wow!!! What a great start to the first few days of the challenge. I am so excited to see how much we will have collectively lost at the end of this. I reset my diary to monitor my sugar, previously I had the default settings. I am very curious and nervous about how much sugar I am consuming. Hope everyone is feel good, even if a little sore.

    Fantastic job everyone! So motivating to see all of your hard work pay off!

    Watching sugar this week? Eek. Making cookies and other treats for the last day of school today. Must have water nearyby and will try to take a drink whenever tempted by a goodie...

    Plan today is walk to/from school (even though it's supposed to be in the high 90's). Pack #4 kid (weighs 24lbs) on my back for an hour for #2 & #3 kids last gymnastics class/show. Do wk6day2 of C25K after lunch. And ab workout before bed. Might be tricky on that last one. Bought Zumba for wii yesterday, did it last night and, man!, am I ever feeling it this morning!!! My hips got quite the workout...more so than when I have done a Zumba class at the gym! But it was fun!

    Have a great Wednesday everyone!

    Had a bad day yesterday. I went over on calories plannning for an evening workout. But my husband did not come home when he said he would, so I did not go out for my walk. I would have gone with my son in the stroller, but had made plans for going when my husband got home, so he was all ready for bed. I know I could have done something else, but I was just mad! Today will be better, I just won't rely on my husband for my workouts anymore!

    Watching my sugar is going to be a real challenge, but a very good thing for me to do. I KNOW I eat too much!

    Today I am feeling the workout from the elliptical. I bought that machine in January and really did not use it much because I really could not do more than 5 minutes on it. Well the last couple of days I realize it helps to have music to workout to instead of the TV. then I dont watch the clock so much. So I have gotten up to 15 minutes. So I have been trying to do that twice a day. I am hoping using the ellipitcal will help in the inches I want to lose in my bottom area. I also have a DVD called 10 minute Abs that I used a couple years ago that produced results that I am going to start using Today. I am not sure how to log those calories. Any way I think I am going to do 15 on the elliptical and a half hour to an hour on the recumbant bike as well as the ab workout. And Maybe when my husband gets home I will do another 15 on the elliptical, if he is wanting to workout.

    Have a great day!

    Feeling good today. Got out and walked this morning and planning on Jillian's 30DS later today. Been under on calories - even with an ice cream treat at work today. Gotta keep working on the dinner menus, especially with summer coming and the kids all home from school.
    Finally broke through my plateau! Maybe that extra little push from Jillian was what I needed!
  • I am having a great day today! Most especially because not only did I lose the water weight I gained over the weekend, I lost an extra 3 pounds!!! I did my official weigh in this morning and I am now sitting at 171.4!!! *happy dance*

    Also, even though I had some dessert at the seminar I attended earlier, I am still under my sugar budget for the day!!! *another happy dance*

    One last thing. I have officially started Week 2 of the Ripped and dear Lord! :S
  • today i am feeling really good. i managed to get my entire house clean and do my 30 day shred workout. and so far i am staying way under my sugar and calorie intake =) hope everyone is doing good. keep up the good work!!!

    I need some ideas for food to take to work.. I need new things, not the same thing every time...
    I work at taco bell, so it gets hard to not eat there.. I don't mind having one thing there every once in a while, but it's way TOO easy to go crazy there....
    We do not have access to a microwave (which is what kills me)
    and my schedule is crazy, always changing... I do have access to a freezer and a fridge though...

    hmmm that might be tough esp if you like having warm lunches....How about making a hearty whole wheat/grain (of course) turkey sandwich or wrap. You can load it up on veggies, wash it down with some light chocolate milk to keep you full and some fruit for dessert.....It's so much better to eat something you make yourself coz then you know exactly what goes in it! good luck!

    Great job getting off that plateau! it can be so discouraging sometimes when the weight doesn't come off, Im glad you stayed focused and kept working at it! :drinker:
