    I did another 1 hour elliptical session tonight at the gym! I really need to keep this going! I did good yesterday and today with tracking my food, working out and being under my calories, like way under!

    So, just a question, do you want your net calorie intake to be at a certain amount or does it matter? I've been working out so hard at the gym that I have had a negative amount of net calories, is that good or bad? Don't know what to do....do I need to have a positive of 1200 calories so my body doesn't go into starvation mode or since I'm eating but burning it off it's ok?

    Thanks in advance!

    I want my net calories to be no more than 1400. I tend not to eat my exercise calories unless I'm really hungry. If I'm not hungry, I don't eat extra.

    Awesome! Thank you for your help!

    I MADE MY 2ND MINI-GOAL THIS MORNING!!!! I've be struggling for the past month to get below 167! Great start to my day! Have.a wonderful day ladies! :happy:
    Yay!!! Fantastic news!
    On a side note, I am part of the Canyon County weight loss challenge in Idaho and I was told by one of my instructors (who checks in frequently) that I am the highest % weight loss for a woman she has heard about. :bigsmile: There is money involved so yeah! But I really need to push hard! This challenge ends on July 16 and I would LOVE to lose another 10-15lb. Here's to hoping and doing my best!!! :wink:
    Yes! Good luck! You can do it!

    I'm a little slow at checking in on this thread, but it looks like we kicked butt last week! I hope everyone is going strong again this week! My goals for the rest of the week are to battle TOM by drinking a ton of water every day and burning over 400 calories a day til weigh-in. I'm also concentrating on getting back to clean eating as I've slipped a little bit over the last 2 days. *shakes fist at TOM*

    sorry for the mope/ rant/ grrrrs:explode: :grumble: :frown:

    hoping I'll be back to at least being able to get out of the house tomorrow!!!!

    Hi ladies,

    Everyone is doing so great. My main struggle this week is to get my motivation back. I have completely lost it and used excuses like having the flu and stress to let myself get away with eating whatever I felt like. My nausea is better, my allergies are getting under control, and I know consciuosly that exercise will help the stress. I just need the kick in the *kitten* to get up and do it :laugh:

    Some more goals I've been thinking about are:
    -stay strong on the weekends!!! I do soooo good all week and then I blow it on the weekends, which needs to STOP!

    -keep on logging my food, everything! I've done good the last few days, I need to keep it up!

    -Gym, gym, gym! I need to go on lots of dates with Gym! I wanna shoot for everyday, I like routine, doing the same things everyday, that's what keeps me motivated, if I do one day on one day off, it throws me off, I just need to go everyday, maybe not the weekends but everyday during the week!

    Lost another 2 pounds so that is great motivation to keep me going, I wonder if I will lose anymore by Monday...?

    I feel like I'm getting back to my routine now, but I'm not exactly sure what to do about P90x. I had quite a few rest days during Week 3, and a horrible diet, but I don't want to start over. I'm thinking that during week 4, which is mostly yoga and Core Syn. that I'll still lay off the strength training, but get in a bunch of extra cardio, maybe just treadmill and elliptical. I had gotten down to 167 but the scale said 170 this morning. I know I had sodium over load a few days and I'm chugging water now. What do you guys think, up the cardio next week??

    Great job! :happy: I hit a plateau at the end of last week and finally dropped some weight according to the scale when I weighed this morning. It was less than I'd hoped for, but every little bit counts.

    I think that if you only missed a couple of days of week 3 you should be ok to jump back in where you should be and not worry about the missed workouts. Workout on the rest/stretch days for week 3 & 4. You kick butt doing extra cardio on top of P90X but if it makes you feel better doing a couple extra cardio sessions like you mentioned then you should go for it!

    I won't be checking in on Monday because I'll be in Vegas eating a ridiculous amount of food and drinking lots of alcohol. I'll be back to weigh in (dun dun DUN) next week. I weighed myself this morning and I weighed the same as I did on Monday.

    Congrats on all the accomplishments, ladies!

    I was wondering if you could give me some dress/outfit options to go with some shoes that I've ordered. They're pearlized red stilettos. Have a look: http://www.pleaserusa.com/showStyleImage.asp?PROD_CD=PLE02G/RPGPT

    Eventually, I want to do a pin up photoshoot with them. It would be great to have an outfit or two to wear them with until then, though.

    You are me two weeks ago! I ate well, exercised everyday, drank a butt load of water, but the Alcohol trumped all. Have fun!
