MEAT Me at the Beach: 7/7-7/10 weigh-in
Replies

Yayyyy! Too bad this weekend I took about 10 steps back
It's all good though, this week I won't be weighing in I don't think but I'm going to push myself super hard to make up for my naughty weekend of booze & picnic foods.. easily consumed 5-6000 extra calories between 3 days, GROSS!
HOWEVER! I can & will be back the the grind first thing tomorrow morning.0 -
Challenge Reflection: I don't think I will meet my goal this week. I was very realistic at a goal of ,5 lbs per week. But I completely thru caution to the wind a couple of weeks in a row. I was just tired of always being mindful about what I was eating.
So, my 1st mini- goal is 134. My last weigh in was 135.6. My guess is that I will probably weigh in somewhere between 135 - 135.6 this week.
But I think I have control of the eating situation again. This has been a good week so far.
Good luck to everyone with the weigh in!!0 -
Previous Weight 179.5
CW 179.5
Mini-goal 176
Weigh-in in 3 days
Daily loss needed: 1 lbs
Realistic? NO
How will I do it? Revising mini goal to 178.5 but would like to keep my goal weight at 170.
FOCUS: WATER!
My body's going through another 9-pound funk where I gain / lose the same 2 pounds over and over. TOM's finally here, but that's totally off schedule.
I've been keeping track of my calories burned via my BodyBugg, and I've been bouncing between 400 - 600 calories / day under for the last two weeks. Either I'm really underestimating my calories (which could be) or I must be retaining water (more likely).
Whenever this happens, I usually end up with a really good week. So I'll keep my goal conservative for Saturday, and still keep the overall goal to give my body some time to adjust. But it probably won't be this week! :noway:0 -
Although I to normally weigh in on Thursday I might wait a bit as well since I really think I won't be able to make it to the 215 goal I have made for myself although I was really hoping I would. Well means I will have to work extra hard to make it to the next mini goal!0

I set a realistic goal of an average of 1 lb a week during this challenge, knowing that likely some weeks would be better than others. Last week I weighed 202.5 and my mini goal is 202. It seemed it would be a breeze to lose that half poind in a week, but it's been a bit of a bumpy ride the last couple of days, so who know?? I don't weigh in till Sunday morning though so there's still hope!

Ugh...Apparently that last 1 lb for the revised mini goal was unattainable. I AM still on track with my original goals, though.
Here's my newly revised chart:

No WI for me this week. I'm up at the cabin with no scale. See you next week!0
-
Continued on from last week's *focus* I didn't want to reassess my goals, or put too much pressure on myself weight and exercise-wise...
So I've tried to be less hard on myself with HAVING to squeeze in the exercise, or trying desperately to lose *extra* weight. I know my diet and exercise levels are working, I can feel it in my clothes - I'm going to focus less on the scales and more how my body is feeling day-to-day....
So because of this I didn't reassess my mini-goals - I hit the first one 2 weeks ago, but last week I didn't lose, and I didn't want to feel bad if I hadn't lost again this week.
I'm REALLY happy with 1lb gone this week!

Do the math! I made my goal weight, so I guess my goal was reasonable and realistic. I know it's getting harder to see that 2 pound loss every week; right now about 5000 calories comes out of my diet and 2000 comes from exercising (and not eating those calories back). I think 1.5 lbs per week might be a little more realistic going forward, but seeing 135 as the final goal (even as opposed to 140) is so inspiring for me that I'm not going to revise anything yet.
One more week and I should be leaving the land of the overweight… if that's not motivation, I don't know what is!0 -
Ok. Super long story involving an evil analog scale and my large capacity for self-delusion. When it's not so raw anymore I'll blog about it, but for now I need to revise my challenge start weight to:
Ouch. At least you stepped up, got the new scale, and can move forward with a reliable indicator of your progress now. Still sucks though...0 -

*personal rant*
I burn over 2000 cals per week exersising, spinning, personal trainer twice a week, two days of solid cardio - I know it's my eating habbits! I can't see to eat less! I eat more than my husband, I know it's 'Just do it' or 'you can do it' but what do I do if I'm starving? I'm having a VERY hard time with this eating! I'm doing my first cleanse right now, hoping it can jump start me into some healthier eating habbits, I just need to grow a pair and get on with it.
This past week hasn't helped me at all, I was traveling with work - 20 hours there, worked 22 hour days for three days (6 hours sleep all weekend) then 20 hours back home - we were in the middle of the woods, and all I ate was BBQ and junk cuz that's all that's available in the woods, so I'm not shocked that I didnt lose! BUT I'm a FAR FAR Cry from my goal of 135 lbs from this week ...0 -
bump
gonna work hard!!! I have to make up for what i gained i am getting there! 184.3 as of tuesday!0 -
weigh in day and I'm happy to say I lost 2 lbs. I went from 177.4 to now weighing 175.4. My mini goal was to reach 175 lbs and since I'm in the 175's I take it as a successfully reached goal :bigsmile:

I hope you get some great rest Vic & thanks again for this challenge!!!! :flowerforyou:0 -
Previous Weight (PW), Current Weight (CW), Mini-goal (MG). You can find out your "Daily loss needed" by doing the following:
(CW - MG) divided by # of days till weigh-in = amt to lose per day
example: (162-161) / 4 = 0.25
Mosneakers!!!
Previous Weight 196.8
CW 192.4 (as of 7/1)
Mini-goal 188
Weigh-in in 1 days
Daily loss needed: 3.6 lbs
Realistic? Hmmmm, probably not.
How will I do it? Keep the water and exercising high and the carbs and sodium low. (And not beat myself up if I'm not 188 tomorrow).
This is a great tool!! I'm thinking my choices on vacation derailed me this week. But, it is what it is...I can't not go on vacation because I'm watching what I'm eating!! At least I continued to log all of my food.0 -
I did this challenge earlier this week, but just hadn't posted it.
THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: Do the Math!
I'm 6.6 lbs away from my mini goal. :laugh: I'm gonna continue doing Ri30, and I've got Zumba tonight, and that will help me move forward. I'm also eating better again, since yesterday I went a little crazy, but I re-assessed some stuff, which put things back into perspective.
(Since then, I haven't been doing any of this... :noway: )
PW: 182.6
CW: 178.6
Mini-goal: 172
Weigh-in in: 4 days
Daily loss: 1.65
Realistic? NO
How will I do it: Pray! Readjust mini-goal to 178, workout (Ri30), eat right (1200 net, so long sugar!), calm down/stress less/meditate.
THIS WEEK'S REFLECTION: Are you realistic?
My first mini-goal USED to be realistic. Looking at my history of progress, it's really not. I'm lucky if I don't end the month ahead of where I started in most cases, and I've been bopping around the low 180s and high 170s for a really long time now. I'll adjust my mini GW this week and the second one as well, to something I might be able to reach.0 -
Serenifly...
Welcome to my year! I was working out like a madwoman, and saw maybe 5 lbs gone. But I eat like a madwoman too! I'm so scared to get hungry and not have food for a long time. When I go out, I usually eat like, a MEAL, before I go, to make sure I won't be hungry, EVEN if I just ate a meal an hour or 2 earlier! :explode: I did a cleanse for 2 days a month or so ago, and it made me feel much better! Lots of fruits and veggies mostly, and a few nuts (all raw foods). I was thinking to do it again, but I don't have that much fruit/veggies/money right now. Hope it goes really well for you!*personal rant*

Looks like I am in the PMS week. I've done great with exercising and eating, but yesterday I was still at 145 lbs, maintaining is good. I decided to weigh in again today and am up to 146.5 lbs. The positive is I did eat a lot more yesterday (PMS symptom for me) and I only gained the 1.5 lbs. Usually I gain over 3 lbs for PMS. So, hoping next week's weigh in will be very pleasing.
I've been getting more exercise in the past couple of weeks, but I did slack off with early a.m,. exercise this week. I think the late nights (up past midnight) and late mornings (waking up well after 10 a.m.) over the 3 day weekend really through me off. I did get up today and go for 30 min on the elliptical so I am getting back on track.
Starting today, I will get up at elast 3 mornings a week to exercise for an extra 30 mins that day. I will exercise every night for at least 45 mins as well. Weekends, I will do at least 60 mins a day (this will include soe intense house cleaning so it should be pretty easy, plus my house really needs some serious attention!!)
Good Luck all!!!!0 -

143.8 this week! Thank the Lord, the scale is finally moving in the right direction.
I don't have mini goals because if I don't meet them I get upset & that often leads to binges.
I did "Do the Math" though & realized our beach weekend is 28 days away. My goal is to do 30. Day Shred once a day until we leave.0 -
