Christmas Countdown Challenge (CLOSED GROUP) - Week 1

Testing 123

just want to see if I posted the CCC sticker right

add [ img ] before the image link, and [ / img ] after the image link, but take out ALL the spaces

I did the weigh in yesterday and was happy with it.
then horrible salt cravings!! I gave in JUST alittle(crackers-5 torilla chips(10) and avacado)
well this morning I have a 3 lbs gain
so pushing the water and natural fruits and veggies..dinner a veggie night.

BTW
awesome job EVERYONE!!:bigsmile:
what a fantastic start.

Yes, drink LOTs of water, it always makes my relationship with the scale a happier one
Also, I try really hard not to weigh myself until at least 2 days after I eat out or make a choice I'm not too happy with.

Trying again

Ok this is my last try. If you don't see the ccc sticker below, I'm asking for help... I added all the img... if it is not there can someone copy and paste the link here so that I can have it?

You've managed to remove the [ ] boxes from around img. find the link and recopy and paste it, then just remove the spaces.

Yeah, you need the [ ] brackets around the img and /img tags. We can't just post the link, because it will just turn into the picture in the post

Well heres my weigh-in :mad:
CW: 222.8

I so gained 3lbs. But its all my fault! I didnt exercise at all, I only completed the challenge 2 days, and I ate really bad. I eat good for breakfast and lunch but dinner is awful and during the night. I wake up at night a lot and I eat half asleep. :yawn:

So I have no exuses or anyone to blame but myself. I just wish I had a easy button because this is really hard with 3 little kids! I feel so disapointted in myself! But I am ready to start with a clean slate and begin the week strong. :indifferent:

Roseagee -- I completely agree with azeria -- hang in there and try not to be too discouraged!! One awesome thing about this challenge is that it is lengthy and we have time to meet our goals! We are all in this together...take care and have a great week!!! :flowerforyou:

Current weight: 179.4 lbs.

Bust: 42.75
Waist: 34.5
Hips: 42.5
Legs: 25
Arms: 15

Guh. My measurements are all over the place. Arms and legs up, waist, hips and bust down. No wieght loss this week, but I completely fell off the wagon at the end of the week last week. What does everyong do to keep yourself movitivated on the weekends? That is when I struggle the most.

Off to a good start today. My personal challenge is to not only walk dog...but start doing daily exercise besides that. Tried 1 10min fitness routine before work and am going to do 30 min of dance with Wii Just Dance 2 when I get home and then walk the dog again. I will be doing at least 1 10min fitness routine/day...more when time willing and getting in Zumba and Dancing inbetween. Ate well for breakfast.....awaiting the weekly challenge...googled burpees....oh my!!!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!!

Well, I am trying to add ANOTHER ticker to my profile and signture. Can some one please help? I went to Tools>Tickers> but it only gave me the option of changing or updating my current one. I was looking to make a new CCC one to add to it. :happy:

Working on the chart everyone It will be posted by this evening along with the challenge. I am still missing a TON of weigh-ins. Just to make things a little easier, can everyone post their WEIGHT for the week in the format of

CW: 190.2

It's difficult to read through the posts and find "no changes this week" or "lost a pound". Although I try to read as much as possible, it's hard to skim for weigh in numbers when there are no numbers I appreciate alllllllll of your help!!! :smooched:

Except that it would blow up your inbox, would it be easier if everyone sent you a messages with their weekly weigh in. Then you could just go through all your messages and delete them as you fill in the chart? We can all post it on here as well, but might make it easier for you with so many people. lol

last try and I give up
