BIggest Loser Challenge - The Unstoppable Panthers (closed g

Hi team : )

My name is ashley and im a stay at home mommy too, i have two kiddos 16 months and 2 months old. I also am in school for nursing. My highest weight was 225 (while pregnant with my son), I was 200 2 weeks postpardum when i started changing my habits, started mfp at 192 and I am currently 180. My long term goal is 135 or lower, my first mini goal will be approaching labor day weekend.. im hopeing to be 170.

Hello Team!!

My name is Bridgette and I am a working mommy of one 8 month old daughter. When I started MFP I was 185 and now I am 170 (well, 172 if I count this morning :grumble: ). My goal is 145 and mini goal is 160 by Labor Day. I need all the help I can get! I usually can only squeeze in a 30-45 minute workout after the baby is down for the night. I do a combo of Ripped in 30 (only on Week 1) and Zumba for Wii; and try to get in a long walk on the weekend. I am trying to get up early to workout also but I have a hard time with this as the baby is going thru a no sleep phase. :frown:

Let's go Panthers!

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Have the water down already - 80oz so far and will probably add another 24 or so. :drinker: :drinker:

Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the bit of a delayed response, I got called into work and yesterday was a day away from the computer. It was way too sunny and nice here to be on this thing.

My name's Jeff. I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. I'm 23 and a student studying social work. I started getting into shape June 2010. I started at 286lbs. As of last week, I was 215.5lbs, so I'm down 70.5lbs (and went from 2XL and 3XL to L and XL shirts).

My first goal was 220lbs, which I obviously already passed. My next goal is 200lbs and after that, I'm gonna take it 5lbs at a time until I get to a place where I'm happy. It's also becoming more and more about the fitness than the weight for me. I set a lot of fitness goals, such as running 5k, hiking mountains, kayaking, etc.

From now until the end of the entire Biggest Loser Challenge, I am doing p90x. I'm currently on week 2. I'll also be swimming regularly come the end of this month. I'm not able to swim at the moment because I work a casual call in job and can't have the phone next to the pool. haha.

Jeff.


P.S. CharlotteintheUSA, no worries on the English, I didn't even notice. Now, if I started speaking french, then we'd be in trouble. :P haha

We are quiet aren't we? It's the quiet ones you gotta look out for though!! LOL Well, all my water is down; think I"m at 80oz so far. I'm a little concerned, my back has been sore all day. I'm hoping it's 'tired' and it'll be better tomorrow when I wake up. I just did a lighter workout tonight; downloaded the walk at home video (since I can't get out to walk right now). Pretty good workout, more than I thought it would be. Anyway, looking forward to Friday! I'm hoping I'm in the 160's and shed those inches! Keep up the good work everyone!!

Hey guys!! My body is feeling pretty tired today.. Just finished day 13 of the 30DS. D5 of L2. It was a nonrunning day and I'm glad..:) Since I started the 30DS I find that without my break day, by the end of the week my body is tired... I have a 25 minute run and 30DS shred tomorrow and then no more runs until Monday. I can usually recover a bit during those 2 days.. 4 cups of water so far today... Fixing to get to work for the afternoon..:) Looking forward to tomorrow!!!!:happy:

So were we supposed to post stats here or on the other board? I posted them on the other one. Let me know if I need to post here.

We post them on the other board...

The good news!!!!!!! We were in third place last week...

The bad news:( 3 of our teammates didn't report!!! Come on guys!!!!! We all have something to add and contribute!! I know we have all heard the acronym for TEAM...

T - Together
E - Everyone
A - Achieves
M- More

I think of you guys each day when I run, when I choose what foods to put it my mouth.. There really is strength in numbers, and EVERYONE has a contribution to make.. We all want this.... Let's do it!!!

This weeks challenge - 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days this week.. I know life is hard and busy, but this is doable... If we all work together we are quite a team!!!

It isn't until we get to the end of our excuses that we will really see true life change!!!!! Let's change our lives...


LETS GO PANTHERS!!!!!!!

Well said!!! and 3rd place!! WooHoo! :bigsmile:

30 min of exercise is a piece of cake - been averaging about 40 minutes this past week.

ardeornellis - I agree; I'm slowly coming to that realization. It gets easier every day for the most part. It's the getting up early I have a problem with! :laugh: I mostly do workouts in the evening after the baby is down but I do try to get up early to exercise on some days (when she's not up 3 or 4 times during the night). I don't run so I just use dvd's mostly; some walking. I am also in Texas and heat is a killer!! Ugh - I can't wait for it to cool off so I can go for walks in the afternoon after work with my daughter. What part of Tx are you in? I'm in San Antonio.

Ok, looking forward to the week to come!

Discipline is remembering what you want.


Let's make it a great week Unstoppable Panthers!
