    I have a question...I just came back from the dr.' s office and the scale says I weigh 152 and then when I got back home i checked my weight on my scale and it says the same. I checked it 3 times to make sure here at home. So maybe something weird happened this morning with my scale. Should I still count it for today's weigh in? Because if that is the case then I need to change my weight loss from 1 lb to 2lbs. This is such a surprise to me and I'm so excited!!!!

    I was like that last week. I didnt lose anything either, but this week I made up for it. I'm pretty sure you will make it up in next week's weigh in. Just keep up your hard work and it will pay off.

    Emotional Challenge: My moment of clarity would have to be when I was moving around slower than my grandfather and that I was getting cellulitis on a regular basis. I finally had to make a change! I went to my neurologist, got back into my physical therapy to get some strength back in my legs then starting MFP. I have made good progress and the continual progress keeps me going. More so now that I am also being able to keep up with my 3 yr old. I LOVE IT! Its all about baby steps but i will get there. :-)

    Strength: took a couple of rest days but then doubled up on Sunday so 7pts
    Food: Sadly, I was over on sodium, cals, and carbs on 3 separate days so, 4 pts :-(
    Emotional: just submitted so 1 pt
    Cardio..went over the amount i had set my goal at so 1 pt baby!
    Total pts: 13pts!!! woo hoo

    Starting MFP Weight:320
    Starting SAHMU Weight: 320
    Week 1 Weight: 320
    Week 2 Weight: 313
    Week 3 Weight: 313
    Week 4 Weight: 312
    Week 5 Weight 310
    Week 6 Weight 309.6
    Goal: Healthy! The number is just a plus but ill say at least 300lb by the end of this challenge

    Holy Crap! I did the stairs for 5 minutes and burned 74 calories per HRM!! Wowza!! Gonna do the arm workout now

    WEEK 7 Challenge:

    Nutritional Challenge:

    Calcium – meet or exceed your calcium goal every day. Worth 1 point

    Strength Challenge:

    Build muscle tone in your arms as well as bone strength to help prevent osteoporosis

    http://www.besthealthmag.ca/get-healthy/fitness/8-arm-exercises-for-women

    Complete full workout (all 8 exercises, 3 x a week, with one day’s rest in between workouts) each workout = 1 point for a maximum of 3 points.

    Added bonus, keep this as part of your routine to see some serious definition within 4-6 weeks!!

    Cardio Challenge:

    Burn Baby Burn! Cardio this week is all about stairs, stairs, stairs! Did you know that jogging up and down stairs for 5 minutes burns approx 130 calories? Add some stairs into your normal routine. 5 minutes x 3 days this week (do it on your rest days from the strength challenge!) each workout = 1 point for a maximum of 3 points.

    Calorie Challenge:

    Set your goal in the spreadsheet created by Karie don’t just meet it, exceed it! If you’re up for a challenge, increase your goal by 5% from last week. Remember something as simple as running those stairs will significantly boost your calories for the week = 1 available point

    Emotional Challenge:

    We’ve all been working hard for weeks. We’ve all lost weight. And hopefully, we all feel empowered by our demonstrated self control, we feel connected to our fellow SAHMUers and we feel optimistic about the future. But at the same time, I’m willing to bet we all have moment’s where we feel like giving up. Why? Because this is HARD!!! So this week’s challenge is to write yourself a note. Something short and sweet that you can keep in your wallet, or stick to your mirror, something you can pull out to remind yourself of how far you’ve come. Think of that girl you were before starting your weight loss journey. Think about how much better you feel now and give yourself a freaking compliment! Cuz you deserve it!!! Worth 1 point.

    Commitment Challenge:

    Log on to MFP every day! Check in on the calorie burn spreadsheet daily once you have completed your workouts. Keep on track of your points and report in daily to show all your fellow teammates how committed you are to your team (not to mention making it easier on your captain to add up the final tally)! Post an encouraging note on the main thread or your team thread everyday! Report daily 7 days a week to earn 1 available point.

    Total Available Points: Max 10

    Nutrition – 1 point
    Strength – 3 points
    Cardio – 3 points
    Calorie – 1 point
    Emotional – 1 point
    Commitment – 1 point

    You can do it girl!!! You have the will power to do this, youve been doing it for 6 wks already. Dont let a bad day or two get you off track. We all are working so hard, there will be a day we need a break. Just keep i mind that after that day its back to business. %lbs in a month and a half is great. We have all of Sept, Oct, Nov and 25 day in Dec to stay motivated. Even if you progress in the same way at 5 lbs a month you will be at your goal and exceed it; I know you will! Keep up the great work, its those baby steps that matter so much! Have a great Labor Day!

    Ive been thrown off lately.

    Friday I was on the phone with my MIL for 2 hours in the AM and missed breakfast. By the time we got off the phone it was nearly lunch time. Didn't work out, just didn't feel like it :grumble:

    Saturday I wass dealing with my 17 year old kitty who was acting like she was on deaths doorstep.. Missed breakfast and working out, checking on her every few min. She stays on the screened in porch in the spring/summer/fall and I think the heat got to her. Shes acting better today.

    Today I missed breakfast. Ran out early to get my shopping done before everyone else got out (we are supposed to get a ton of rain, wind and "moderate" damage from Lee so I wanted food before the shelves were clear. Got home and got doing housework and before I knew it, it was 1pm. Did 25 min workout and couldn't even get thru it.. 2 bad days killed my motivation:angry:
