30 Pounds and Counting! (Closed Group)

So just wanted to share, I hit an all time low of 154.8 this morning! WOOOHOOOO! I cannot wait to be in the 140's again!

That is amazing!! You will be in the 140's in no time!

So Friday morning are my weigh-in time. This morning I lost 2.0 pounds. I attribute it to having started doing boot camp. I have burned 4457 calories this week which is crazy for me. I am finally in the 170's I have not seen the 170's in 2 years so I am stoked and it has motivated me to keep up my hard work. I have yet to see any difference in my body or the way my clothing fits but hopefully that will come in the next month.

So my goal for last week was to run for 30 minutes straight without having to stop to walk. Well I didn't accomplish that this last week but I did do it on Wednesday! I was so excited.

This weekends goal is to work out twice a day. Yup I am going to do it. I am going to do cardio on both days and then do upperbody P90X on one day and lower body P90X on the next. haha I will probably hate myself Monday morning

What are your goals?

2 more pounds today .... total of 19 so far !! OMG I never thought I would get here ... yeah me

Congrats on the 30 mins run on Wednesday!

My goal this weekend is to work out on Saturday and Sunday (I usually don't). Your running has inspired me! I think that I will try to go for a run both days. Two years ago I ran a half marathon and literally have not run one day snice then...which is kinds funny because I did enjoy running then.

WAIT!!! You ran a half marathon???!!! WOW what an accomplishment! I would love to work my way up to a half or even a :devil: full marathon! I cant believe you never ran after that though! All that hard work and then no running.
How was the half? Was it so bad that you never ran again lol maybe I shouldnt make that a future goal. :laugh:

It was great, I finished in 2 hours and 17 mins. Keeping through the first hour was the hardest then after that I just keep telling myself u just ran for an hour straight you can keep going. I was fortunate to have a great running partner who keep me encouraged through the whole run. I literally have not run since that day. It was my goal to run the Toronto half before I turned 30 and had talked about doi g for years then the year I was 30 I finally did it and after was kinda just like yep, I have proven that I could do it. Check that off the goals list. I know it seems strange but that is what went through my head.

I am so proud of all of you. I am getting super motivated to keep this up! I feel like monday is taking forever (my weigh in day). I hope i will be sharing good news. I do however want to share that today at work was a food day and i tried hard to go for the healthy choices. I went over my calories but not by much so im not too disappointed in myself. My goal is to workout both days this weekend and at least 5 days before my next weigh in. Im ready to see my number drop!

Sounds like Friday was an awesome day!!! I hope all that awesomeness carried into the weekend!

My son's birthday party was yesterday - made his cake and frosting, so of course I nibbled some of the batter/frosting to taste test it. Wasn't too bad though and I only ate one piece of cake and a small scoop of ice cream. Normally I would have down 2-3 pieces of cake before getting irritated with myself and pitching the cake out. I can say that 1/2 of it is still sitting on the kitchen counter and I could care less.

So that is my victory this weekend - I made sure to only have fruit and veggies to nibble on yesterday (though, there was veggie dip for the carrots and broccoli and I have an olive habit that is a bit over the top whenever I crack a can open) but I didn't chow down on chips and dip or drink any soda/alcohol, so it was overall good.

I got a new HRM on Thursday - yesterday was my first time taking it out for a spin (Friday is my rest day) and so far so good. It shows a higher calorie burn than the machines or MFP was showing me, but I think it's because I was working out at a higher intensity of HR than the machines or MFP accounts for. I may need to alter my calories a bit (increase by 100-150) to account for this. I was likely under eating to begin with. I will play around with that over the next few weeks to see what works.

Anyway - rambling a bit (okay, a lot). Hope everyone is having a fab weekend!!

So today was my weigh in and i lost two pounds!! Im excited to see my hard work payoff. I really wanted to see the 170s but hopefully next monday i will. Im still very pleased with the results. I started doing this only two weeks ago and have lost 5 pounds so im pretty proud of myself. I hope everyone is still as motivated as i am and also has good numbers to report. Have a great day everyone!

Way to go! You inspire me - I need to get off my butt and exercise, but first wanted to touch base with people. I've got another goal for this week for myself, which is to drink my 8 glasses of water every day. I have already caught myself a couple times the last few days thinking I want to eat something, only to realize I was just thirsty. Any ideas on making water more appealing or on keeping motivated to get all the H20 in?:drinker: (Let's pretend that's water, not beer :blushing:
