Good morning ladies:) I weighed myself this morning and it was 76,8..I hope to drop 6 kg during the next 12 weeks.
Thursdays I have boxing and running so I need quite a bit of food on that day. So I had a lot of fruit, almonds and a huge portion of salad with chickpeas with me to work, to be able to fill up on healthy stuff instead of sugars:)6 -
Good day!
Week 1
Start Weight: 161.4
Challenge Goal Weight: 149.4
Weigh-in #1: 154.0
A positive thought I had this week was: it’s almost a year since I joined MFP and it’s amazing how I have recovered my health (and you can even say my life). I know weight should not define who we are, but when you are as overweight as I was it’s hard not to. I feel so much more confident now and I am looking forward reaching my goal weight this year.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: this week was about cutting off all the excess from the holidays ... and it definitively paid. I think the healthiest meal I had was grilled salmon with sautéed spinach and for snack almonds.
My most effective workout this week was: I did a barre video from daily burn; it was hard for me so it push me and I was sweating tons which I hardly do actually.7 -

Start Weight: 10st 12lb (152lb)
Challenge Goal Weight: 10st - 10st4lb (140-144lb)
Weigh-in #1: 10st 9lb (149lb)
This week was the first week I have been able to run (jog?) in well over a year (medical issues). I thought I would start by doing c25k from the start, and week 1 day 1 was easy-peasy! Healthiest tea was probably stir fried chicken & veggies with Chinese five spice and a dash of soy sauce, and rice. Lunch was a big bowl of homemade green soup. I try not to snack too much, but it felt good to add fruit back to my diet (it pretty much disappeared over Christmas/New Year as we were away and I ate so much at meals I didn't want any fruit. Also there was chocolate everywhere).7 -
Week 1
Start weight 77.8 kg
Challenge goal weight 72 kg
Current weight 79.8 kg
So a 2 kg gain - however today is the first day i have used my new scales (which weigh heavier than my old ones) so I'm not too despondent, although it's difficult. New start for the New Year!
A positive thought - I'm looking forward to getting back on track with my diet and exercise, and to feeling better about myself.
A healthy meal ( I don't snack) - I am re-starting lower carb eating and have made a batch of vegetable soup which has turned out really well.
Most effective workout - I have been trying to do Yoga with Adrianne but have admitted to myself that it is not for me and have gone back to Pilates. I have just finished a "Morning Energiser" routine and feel so much better.7 -
Week 1
Start Weight: 130.2
Challenge Goal Weight: 124
Weigh-in #1: 127.8
A positive thought I had this week was: How nice it is to have this group to keep me motivated to log honestly, which often kept me from grabbing a high calorie snack that I didn’t need!
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I just learned about high fibre/low carb wraps on MPF. I enjoyed them as a base for much lunches all last week and they were so satisfying after years of lunch salads.
My most effective workout this week was: I enjoyed a particular cardio-strength routine from FitnessBlender.com. Exercise is routine to me but it’s still a challenge to find new things that I enjoy, especially as it’s been exceptionally cold here since Christmas and I’ve not been outside to hike in the woods. I miss the fresh air and time with my dog!
Comments: I was surprised that my weight dropped so quickly so I think I was extra bloated after the holidays. I am traveling next week so it will be hard to keep logging but I’ll think of this group and do my best. Thank you all!!!7 -

A positive thought I had this week was: Honestly, need to do better here. Not too happy with my food choices this week. But I did work out every day for 30-60 minutes each day.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: salmon with savoy cabbage and grapefruit salad
My most effective workout this week was: 30 minutes of upper body weightlifting. I get plenty of cardio, but need to incorporate more strength training.5 -

My most effective workout this week was:
On Saturday I did 60 minutes of my lifting program and incorporated resistance bands and a few additional moves. I burned 278 calories which was pretty good.
Comments:
Although I did not lose any weight I am SO HAPPY I maintained. I worked out 6 days last week. I am doing the Bikini Body Mommy 7.0 - 90 Day Challenge which is AWESOME and short and to the point. I wanted to incorporate it into what I’m doing for days I can’t get to the weights and for days I want an extra workout. I had late night candy (mostly Starburst) all week from mindless eating because I was up past midnight. Also I didn’t have my scale this week to weigh my food. Considering those two factors I think I did fairly well.8 -
Week 1
Start Weight: 205.8
Challenge Goal Weight: 193.8

A positive thought I had this week was: I ate at a caloric deficit, got some good workouts in, now just stay consistent. I'm doing what I should be to be successful, so just give it time.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Greek yogurt, salads, banana.
My most effective workout this week was: Breaking in my new kettlebells!
Comments: I'm not surprised I'm up a pound. I feel really bloated on my period. The 3 previous days were 203.2. My goal is for my weight to just keep trending downward. My terrible cold is finally almost gone so I'm feeling really great.6 -
Start Weight: 205.5
Challenge Goal Weight: 193
Weigh-in #1: 204.4
A positive thought I had this week was: I feel so much better when I workout every day. Even if the scale hasn’t gone down a lot my clothes fit better and my mood is a huge improvement. Winter is always tough for me but I feel like I’m kicking Winters butt this year
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Baby carrots. They are great for making me feel full.
My most effective workout this week was: My elliptical because it’s all I’m doing right now. I want to add in Tai Chi and weights after I feel like I have turned working out into a habit.8 -

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: Peanut butter and crackers
My most effective workout this week was: 40 min of weights and an hour long cardio class. First time I had felt the workout the next day.
Comments: Not weighing myself this week because its period week (sorry if thats too much info) but I usually weigh 5-7 pounds more during that time and its not good for me mentally or emotionally. But next week I will definitely weigh!4 -

Hi
My start weight was 135 and my goal weight fot this challenge is 128. My weigh-in for this week is 134.
A positive thought I had this past week is how much better my stomach feels eating less and drinking less alcohol (too much of everything over the holiday).
A healthy change I applied this week was to cook vegetarian meals for the whole week. I have wanted to eat more veggies and legumes for awhile and actively seeking new recipes to use really helped with this (I'm not a big fan of cold salads - my previous veggie go- to option).
Unfortunately I don't have a good exercise accomplishment. I am quite lazy ☺. I will make incorporating something regular into my schedule my goal for this week. I'm super impressed with how much activity everyone else is doing. Very inspiring!

BIG loss for you last week; that's AWESOME! I am glad you can run/jog again. I am more than certain it felt great.0 -

A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: I love to cook, and I made ham and potato soup and it was delish!
My most effective workout this week was: Can't remember what day, but I walked the dog---at under 5 degrees---did 30 minutes of PiYo and 30 minutes of yoga.

Mostly water weight and Christmas bloat I am sure, but always good to see the scale go down. I am not expecting great things from here on in... half a pound a week is my aim, and my scale only weighs in whole pounds!1 -
Week 1
Start Weight: 164.2lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 155lbs
Weigh-in #1: 160.8lbs
Feeling really happy with this week's progress, although it's most likely just water weight, it's a start!2
