    Hello everyone!
    I am doing quite well with the exercising. I am doing about 90 mins a day of Turbofire, swimming and walking.
    Today I have decided I will cut down on sugar, biscuits, bread and chocolate, I want to see if I binge less if I don't crave those foods.

    Keep it up everyone!

    Hi everyone! I havent been checking in because i've been in the moving process, so my eating habits have been horrible but at least moving boxes counts as exercise :)

    Anyway, I'm settled back in at school and am visiting my family at home this week so hopefully i'll be able to get exercise in again (even if my eating habits still aren't quite right yet :( )

    Beautiful morning today so went for a bike ride before work, rode for an hour. Will walk at lunch today and then onto rowing class for an hour.

    Have a good one!

    Good morning everyone!!!

    since i've been lousy about checking in, here's what i've been up to since i've been home:
    wednesday - ran 4 miles with my brother, walked with a friend at the park, and walked with another friend to go get a beer (total: 5 miles, and still under calorie goal)
    thursday - met up with a friend at the gym she works at (she's a personal trainer and is so proud of me for losing weight). we worked out for an hour (more worked out our jaws than our bodies from all the talking lol). was a smidge over my calorie goal but thats ok with me
    today - just finished another four mile run. Felt fabulous, it was SUCH nice weather outside and it felt really good to go running through my hometown

    Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

    Hello everyone!
    Well, I have been doing Turbofire, swimming and walking everyday, as usual.

    The only thing is that my knees are starting to hurt, I think it is the Turbofire workout, so I won't do any jumping for the next few days.

    Everything else is good.
    I hope you are all having a great weekend, keep it up, and don't forget to check in on Monday :)

    July 25: 156.6 lbs
    Aug 1: 157.8 lbs
    Aug. 8: 155.8
    Aug. 14: 157.2

    So... I knew that I did awful this week... not with exercising but with eating so I decided to weigh in a day early instead of a day late to see the damage and kick my butt into gear. I'm up two lbs. :(. So back to work today ... I need to kick those two pounds this week to go back to school. Good luck with weigh ins tomorrow everyone!!

    Went up this week but it was really expected since I was away from home/my gym and went out to dinner with friends three times last week. One more week before school starts for me.... I hope to at least lose back those two pounds this week. Current short term goal is to get down to 200pounds before i go to Vegas in October.

    25th July FIRST DAY : 169 lbs
    1st August : 167.8 lbs
    8th August : 167.4 lbs
    15th August : 164.4 lbs
    22nd August FINAL DAY


    This week was a good week... I am stoked. I even had a cheat evening on Sat. It was my b-day so needed mexocan food for dinner then went to see a movie. I could have made better choices, but ate lite all day to save up. We ate an early meal & went to the theatre at the mall. We walked, albeit at a slow pace, for an hour and a half. I think that helped.

    My shoulder is feeling better. I made it to yoga on sat & then went for a massage. It still hurts a little, but nothing like before. I made it to my 60 minute Plyo class today & feel better now that I am in my normal routine

    Hi everyone! Sorry I have been so slack about posting. I went on vacation and it threw me off. Here are my weigh-ins:

    25th July FIRST DAY : 154.2 lbs
    1st August: (Out of town)
    8th August: 157.6
    15th August: 155.2

    Hope I can at least get back to my starting weight by next week. :( Oh, vacation! I'm going to try mixing up my workouts this week, so I'll be doing some combination of jogging, walking, elliptical, weight-training, hiking and yoga. I need to sit down and make myself a workout schedule. :)

    Hey! we are doing great!
    Vacations, b-days, etc can get in the way, that's just how life it, the important thing is to get back on track straight away and have no regrets

    Haven't been able to weigh in (i'm at home and my mom threw away her scale years ago) but I'm doing very well with my eating despite all of the temptations with being at home and going out to eat with friends. Last week i got in a total of 10 miles of exercising and i was able to squeeze in a 3 mile run, a canoe trip, and a 2 mile walk with my boyfriend so today is a rest day (since i'm really sore)

    I've gotten so many compliments on my progress since i've been home, it's really nice when people who havent seen me in a few months go "WOW! Your legs are so skinny!"

    Appears we have all been busy this week...

    I have done 60 minutes each day thus far, at least 8 glasses of water a day. I have another 60 minutes tomorrow & then yoga on sat.

    I'll be jogging today C25K, but I've been slacking and I really don't have an excuse. No weight change for me, and I know why. My eating hasn't been that great. I'll be back on track today though:

    July 25th: 205.0
    Aug 1st: 200.5
    Aug 8th: 200.5

    CoComaa: At least you haven't gained, so no big deal, just remember why you are doing this and get on with it, Also remember: Often motivation comes AFTER action, no the other way round.

    My exercise rutine is still the same: Turbofire, walking and swimming. I am losing weight slowly but surely, just as planned, so I am pleased. Looking forward to Monday! I weigh myself everyday but Monday is the official day, what counts. And it is the final day of this challenge!

    Hope you are doing well

    Aug. 8: 155.8
    Aug. 14: 157.2
    Aug. 22 156.2

    Well... I didn't end up losing much through this challenge. The past two weeks have been a really bad time so I was way off my exercise routine as I took care of my family and got ready to come back to school. But I did learn that I love the gym through this challenge so hopefully now that I'm back to school and will be on a more regular routine I can do better!

    I am late, I know.

    25th July FIRST DAY : 169 lbs
    1st August : 167.8 lbs
    8th August : 167.4 lbs
    15th August : 164.4 lbs
    22nd August 163.2 lbs - using todays numbers, can't remember mondays and really don't want to scan through old posts to find it (lazy, I know) So, 5.8 pounds total. not bad. I didn't get the workout in every day though. I am burned out on workouts. I have cut back to M-TH, with a yoga on Sat. I have been shopping... I mean walking on the weekends. Hey, I have to walk from store a to store b & so on. I stay on my feel moving, so it should count, right? Esp when I am shopping for several hours.
