I want to lose some weight too (passionately), but I"m coming off a two or three-week bounce between the same six pounds, and while I've reevaluated and researched, I still don't dare say the words "Weight Loss" as a goal!
On Sunday I got my new scale, and having one that consistently gives you the same weight for three times in 45 seconds is promising! lol I am encouraged.
I look forward to your success!

Hello everyone! Hope you're having a great day.
Week 1 weigh in went well. Down 1.8 lb. from last week.
1 of 4 workouts for weekly goal completed and duffel packed for another one today.
Stephanie (a.k.a. "dujyandco"), great looking food pics. Makes me want to eat healthier. I ate protein shakes back in the summer, but it's so cold to drink something cold as well now (32 degrees F high today)... I might rethink it though. Thanks for the inspiration.

Today's breakfast (it made a full pitcher today, so gonna take a few hours to drink!
Oh--plus 8 ounces of orange juice to make it liquid, of course.
9 servings of fruits and vegetables... and 31 grams of protein in one shot. Oof.
That's fantastic! (Also you've got some great photography skills!! Everything looks so lovely!)0 -

Cold here, too! (Salt Lake City) If I do this though (a smoothie), then I"m sure to get my micros in for the day. 'Health' is the name of the game for me right now!
And--I just feel so good! 0 -
So guys, will go to bed soon. Summary of today for me
I think I did rather well! I had 13 glasses of water, walked a bit more than 11000 steps, had 4 servings of fruits and vegs, reached 100% of my protein goal, and I walked that extra km!
Hopefully tomorrow will work out too
@dujyandco: your breakfast looks amazing!! come to France and prepare mine tomorrow morning pretty please? haha. And I agree with @justrollme for your photography skills!
@jbaker436: well done for the weightloss! you're starting that challenge right!0 -

That makes perfect sense! Thank you

Hi guys, have a great 3rd day!!0

Yesterday I did so-so; I was low on my water (not thirsty from all that smoothie, I guess), and only 69% on my protein. Boo! But hubby and I went for our walk on the river, and walked 9.4 miles in 2 hours, 45 minutes. I also did my aerobics with weights, so that's something good!
Edited to add: Oh! For personal goals, I also came in with 678 calories left.

Didn't see the "no processed sugar" for today's side challenge until it was too late. Will strive to do that better next week. Also, work's been crazy so I didn't get the extra kilometer in yesterday either. But I did work out last night so I've got 2 of my 4 goal workouts done for this week.
Nailed the weekly steps minimum and will keep working on the other items. Thanks for the encouragement & postings. Hope you have a great day everyone!!

I didn't know about it 'til right now, @jbaker436 ! Don't know why I wasn't on that! Thinking back....I don't think I"ve had anything questionable, today.....
Thanks for the heads up! 0 -
Ok, I didn't see the no processed sugar either, but luckily I did succeed at that today! (good thing it wasn't Monday!) I also got 4 fruits and veggies, all my calcium, and went to Jazzercise. Didn't make 10k steps, it's too icy out. hopefully it's clear tomorrow.0

Nice, @1cand0it2 ! That's great on your veggies and fruits, and hooray for Jazzercize! I used to go with my stepmom when I was around 12 or so (many many moons ago! )
I lucked out, too! Took the children to the skating rink today, and had to think back if I took a bite of their candies, or anything! Nope.

For thursday we have 10 jumping jacks every 90 minutes while awake challenge
i love this one, cant wait to hear where you guys did your jumping jacks 0 -
Last two days were good for me, just shy of 100m on the bike. Coach had me doing back to back hard workouts on the bike, both of 2+ hours w/intervals during the ride. Ouch.
Right at my calorie target, and doing good keeping any sort of junk food to less than 5% of daily kcals as well as very minimal snacking (knowing I have to weight and log this is really helping). Basically just 1/4 of a Hershey's bar right before bed and then maybe one other small treat right in the morning to make taking in water pleasant.
Real goal is to be singing this same tune in 4 weeks, or ideally 6 months. Also doing good on soda...none since Dec 31, goal (for now) is one month no soda period.
Will comment more tomorrow when I have time to read all the cools stuff the rest of you have been up to.0 -
Hi Guys, 4th day This challenge is being good to me so far, I have lost 800g (almost 1kg) so I am glad. Yesterday, I did ok, apart from a sugary yoghurt, I had no refined sugar! I had nuts as an afternoon snack and dates in the evening, no sugar in my porridge in the morning. I walked 11400 steps, had 12 glasses of water, reached 94% of my protein goal and had 5 servings of fruits and vegs. I am trying to go via the stairs and not the lifts at my job (I am on the 7th floor) and walk more instead of taking a bus in the evening.
Fair warning, I will be in a meeting at work almost all day so I will not be able to do the side challenge today so I will do it tomorrow and combine it with Friday's one, hope that's ok!
Good luck for today, guys, have a lovely day xx0 -
@jbaker436: well done on the workouts and the steps!
@1cand0it2: love the idea of Jazzercise!
@L_Master: great job on the exercise and stopping drinking soda!0 -
This is a record for me - two days in a row without dessert or any refined sugar. Even when counting calories, I still add 100 calories at the end of the night for chocolate.
The jumping jack challenge was difficult. I almost hung myself on my necklace jumping around in my office!
@HealthyGinny - WOW! 1 kG/week is huge!
@L_Master - giving up pop is difficult. But now if I am at the movies and I take a drink of my niece's pop it tastes disgusting! So sweet (and I am a sugar person)!! Your body will love you for it!

Hey! I passed the sugar challenge!! (Says Dessert Girl.)
I got in aaaalllll my protein yesterday (and then some!) by eating extra chicken, and (plain) greek yogurt.
Last night after dinner I was okay with no dessert--just this once-- then I thought I'd try something, since I was still low on calories; I tossed a cup of yogurt and a cup and a half of frozen strawberries, milk, stevia, and vanilla in the blender.... and out came a strawberry milkshake! (I even passed some reeses cups in the foil over to hubby... without even being tempted!)
Also walked well over the 23k steps yesterday, and left around 900 calories in the bank, last night.
Ready for jumping jacks today! And... scale has gone down three days in a row, and feeling a little hesitant this morning to get on the scale... will it continue???? Oof.0 -
@L_Master , congratulations on the soda! That's awesome. I think I feel the way about beer that lots of people feel about soda. (Haven't been having it lately, as it can get dang expensive -calories.)
I love your goal of <5% junkfood... it's a great frame! Something like that would work for me, too, as I'm definitely not a 'denial' sort of girl, but have to work those favorite things into my day. 5% sounds very reasonable!
I very much appreciate that idea and insight!

Lol @moremonica ! I'm glad you lived to tell the tale! I'm in a time of extra water (and tender in the chest department), so I'll be doing a low-impact variety! 0
