Hey black team! My name's Sara, I'm a sahm to 2 (thus the screen name) little girls, the oldest will be 3 on Sunday and the youngest will be 2 in September. Last year I did so great watching what I ate and exercising and I lost a bunch of weight, but I recently got off track and gained a bunch of it back
I'm motivated again to get this weight back off though, so here I am!
Starting MFP Weight- 197

Food Challenge(7/20-7/27):
Kitchens closes at 9:30pm! So far, so good... I'll report back tomorrow!
Emotional Challenge(7/20-7/27): I eat when I'm stressed, and with 2 toddlers running around the house, I'm stressed a lot! I'm trying to channel that stress into workouts now. I also tend to use dessert as a reward or "treat", when I want to have a fun afternoon with my kids, that generally includes dessert somewhere. I don't want to deprive them, but I also don't want them to equate fun with sugar... it doesn't have to be like that. Some days we can go to the park *without* getting icecream.0 -
Team BLACK........HEYYYYYYY
Ok........where should I begin??? I have not a clue at all......but here goes, something is better than nothing. My name is Keonia. I'm an at home mom of 4 and a military wife. The childrens ages are 11 years, 8 years, 22 months and 4 months. Just to let you all know, I'm just about like all over seem like today when it came to exercising.
Starting MFP weight: 140
Week 1 weight: 147
Today I have walked 2 miles in 30 minutes ( I usually do 4 miles in the house with a video)
160 jumping jacks
40 sit-ups
100 calf-raises
25 push-ups
25 squats
When it comes to meals..... I try my best to have dinner eaten and kitchen cleaned by 7:00, no later than 7:30pm. I just need to learn to eat right.
I have no clue as to why I have gained 7 extra pounds. I talk to some people and they say that it is probably because my body have started toning. I don't know what to think because I never weighed this much unless I was pregnant0 -
Welcome black team! And awesome job being the first one to post Sara!
My name is also Sarah!
Alrighty, so I will just admit to my own stupidity, I had no idea what the acronym for SAHMU was, but I was excited about an upcoming challenge and signed up for it! Soooo, now that i know, I hope no one minds that I do not have any children of my own! I was a surrogate mother, and have children around me all the time in one form or another! However, I'm an aspiring SAHM, and someday soon hope to start my own family- thus the inspiration for my weight loss journey!

Cardio: Recovering from a back injury, but I WILL complete it before the week is over!
Strength:
Food Challenge(7/20-7/27):
Kitchens closes at 9:30pm! Roger that!
Emotional Challenge(7/20-7/27): Like many, I am an emotional eater. In my family food is a sig of affection, making it, distributing it, and re-distributing it! When we are happy we eat, when we are sad we eat. Over the past 10 years, possibly my entire life I have had to deal with highly stressful life circumstances, and developed a deep depression and mild anxiety. I ignored my personal life circumstances by diving into helping others - and always put myself last. Now, the low self-esteem and fractured confidence, and depression all makeme want to eat for comfort, and it becomes a vicious cycle. I don't want it to continue anymore. I want to put myself first, nourish some self-love, and pursue happiness.0 -
Hi Team Black! I didn't see your forum before. I am glad you are here!0

Im so ready for these challenges, 9:30 kitchen closed sounds good to me!

Hey black team! Sorry I didnt weigh in yesterday, Karie was trying to get me over here but I didnt get the messages soon enough. Im Ashley, a sahm of 1 hyper little 2 year old boy! I started gaining weight back in High School because of some meds I was taking and wasnt ever able to get it off. I've been dieting and working out for about a week now and Im so excited to see results already!

Exercise Challenge(7/20-7/27):
Cardio: day 1, 1 hour of aerobics on the Wii
Food Challenge(7/20-7/27):
No food after 9:30, thankfully I've been working out so hard that im passed out by then!
Emotional Challenge(7/20-7/27): This is a tough one, because I dont want to sound like im blaming anybody but, all my life my mom has been telling me I eat too much, I weigh too much, I dont fit in because of my weight, and clothes dont look right on me and I should work out more...Instead of taking this as constructive criticism (no matter how hurtfull it was) I rebeled because I could control what I ate and my weight and I just let myself go to spite her even though the only person I was hurting was myself. Proud to say that I am at a place in my life where I can rise above the emotional pain that her words inflicted on me and get healthy!0 -
Just completed my Day 4 of Insanity! thats 35 minutes today and roughly a burn of 444 cals!! 0

Awesome job Katelyn!
I have never tried the insanity work out but my fiance does it every morning before work and it looks INSANE! As for your question about points I believe that is correct. I will double check and update you if it is NOT correct, otherwise keep doing what you're doing!0 -

HEY HEY HEY LADIES
I hope that we all got it in on our exercises today. Keep p the good work on our goals. I know that we all can do it. This is Keonia checking on this evening. Today I kinda fell behind due to pain and the kiddies, no excuses though. I didn't do as much as I would liked to have done, but I did do. Today, I did 3.5 mile walk, 25 squats, 60 jumping jacks and 20 calf raises. The kitchen here was closed at 7:30. I was a bit disappointed at myself and barely ate today.....but tomorrow, trust and believe....... my goal is to really get it in and go hard like I did yesterday. I can do and so can you. LETS GET IT LADIES.0 -
Stayed on it for today! Did 45 minutes of walking, while carrying my son most of the way because he got tired, plus another 1 and 1/2 hours of cardio (steps etc.) and my 25 squats! Kitchen closed at 8 tonight! Glad to see we're all sticking to it...Question, are we posting new threads for each day or should we just go back and edit our original posts so that the points are closer together??

Great question bella!
I think it would be easier to just continue to update our original post, but adding a new entry with the date. However, I think as a team we can all pick which works best for the majority?
Great job everyone ...
P.S. Bella I ♥ your signature!0 -

I will probably do another 30 minute walk tonight. Hoping a praying that I can get some things done this weekend even if its just a little bit...its so hard to stay motivated when everyone else in my house is laying around a relaxing. The 100 degree weather doesnt help any!0 -
GOOD AFTERNOON LADIES!!!!!
Today, I went really hard and got it i like I said that I was. I really had to make up for yesterday. Today I have really pushed myself and I pushed hard.
Today I started off with a 4 mile walk in the house with low-impact, 200 jumping jacks, 50 squats, 30 push-ups, 70 sit-ups 10 leg raises and I worked out my triceps a bit. I felt REALLY DARN GOOD AFTERWARDS. Oh wow. That is all that I can say. I really ejoyed myself and I had plenty of fun. I hope that you all have had a very good and prosperous day.0 -

Forgot to add to this, Kitchen closed at 7:15 thanks to a big grilled chicken salad my husband brought home for me!0 -
Got my workout and squats in... hows everyone else doing?0

Another 80 minute workout and squats. Feeling pretty good that I got up and did something on the weekend! Hows everyone elses weekend going???0

Hii everybody!
Looks like everyone is working hard!
I got my workout in last night ...I was so proud of myself for working through the back pain!
I burned 1001 Calories in 127 mins, of cardo! wOOt! Did my squats ... not much fun at all I must say! Hope to repeat it tonight!
QUESTION: Do you all get you daily recommended fiber in? If so what types of foods do you all eat to boost it up?
Fiber is my biggest challenge, even "high" fiber items I buy only end up having like maximum 9g! I recently started eating Bran ...everyone told me it is disgusting but I don't mind it and it is supposed to be good for you.
Keep up the great work TEAM BLACK!0 -

Bran is pretty bad, but if you can find something like grape nuts, something crunchy that you can throw into light or fat free yogurt really helps that awful after taste!0 -
Good afternoon everyone! Hope everyone has a a good day! I didnt work out today because my husband insists that I dont kill myself and take a break so thats what im doing today. I did sneak in 30 squats while he wasnt looking, I just couldnt help myself! Still sticking to my low cal diet and no sodas, even though I cheated and had a sip or two of a dr.pepper and thought it was disgusting so switched back to water! Hope everyone is having a blessed day!

LOL
Well, everyone really scared me with how bad it was going to be so by the time I tried it .. it wasn't THAT bad .. although it isn't good. I will look into finding grape nuts and trying that out. For now I'm in a state of mind where I will just eat what I need to no matter how terrible it tastes .. if it's good for me, I'll eat it.
Same goes for working out ... even if i hate it and it hurts .. I push on! This is the first time in my life where I won't allow myself to stop working out when there is like something sore, or blister, or minor pain! Yahooooo.
have any of you done the 30DS? I bought it today and I'm thinking of starting it tomorrow.0 -
Another 80 minutes clocked today, and 450 calories burnt! Plus 30 more squats. The kitchen has closed at 8:30 for the passed two nights. If im adding correctly I think I've got all 4 points for this weeks challenge! Hope everyone else is having success this week cannot wait for weigh in on Wednesday!0
