    i'm thinking that i'm going to try some calorie cycling action. i dont REALLY know how to do it. but i think i get the gist of it. I'm hoping that keeping my system from getting too used to anything will help me along.

    OK, Merril invited me to join- I know I am a week late. Anyway, my goal is to work out 3 times/week and I am going to start month 2 of P90x on September 19 so then the goal will be 6 days/ week. Weight-wise, being realistic with so many weddings and stress at work this month, I would like to be at 157 by October so I basically just need to maintain until my life settles down. Reach goal is to lose 5 pounds this month by cutting calories and working out.

    works for me. do you have a "starting weigh in" weight for last friday by chance? if not that's fine. just wondered. also. what's your name?

    Alright, so my fat *kitten* only lost .5 lbs this week.
    133.5 (which is still up 1.5 from the summer :( I'm hoping it's just due to me eating dinner at 11 last night, but who knows. )
    Measurements:
    Hips: 37
    Lower Waist: 33
    Upper Waist: 28

    I did do my weights 3x this week and I did burn 3500 calories. So I met 2 out of 3 goals. Unless I had more goals. I forget. How did everyone else do today?

    well like Merrill, i'm also down 0.5 pounds this week.
    i'm gonna say that it's because i'm lucky enough to be on shark week and hope that it's the truth.... we'll have to see.
    I'm still glad to be down though! cant wait to see how everyone else has done!
    i managed to do a little something everyday this week. even if it was just a short walk around the block so at least i'm keeping my goals in mind even while busy! i'll take small victories.

    oh right. so my weigh in for this week puts me at 153.5 -- not exactly off to a strong start but its a start none the less.

    I am Jessalyn, I work with Merrill. Last week I weighed in at 157.8, but that is the low end of my normal range which goes up to 160 regularly. Today I weighed in at 158.9, which is not surprising and that is really my starting weight anyway.

    My back story just so you guys don't think I am random for joining up. I have always had weight issues even when I was a dancer and cheerleader as a kid. I had a breast reduction in 2008, and since then have lost a little over 20 pounds (over three years, I realize it's not much, but I have kept it off). I have also become much more active mostly because I can. I have about 20 or so pounds left to lose, and I would like for that NOT to take three years.

    I tried to have an accountability thread of emails with friends from home (COnnecticut) but we have stopped since they would tell me how they didn't work out and ate McDonald's and I decided it was doing more bad than good.

    So- Thanks for welcoming me!

    Welcome Jessalyn! Good luck to you!

    Ok, so for today my scale says 183.4lbs. I did it 3 times to it must be right. (yay!) I revised my calories and have been under my goal but i did not run this week or do my jackie warner weights. My honey is going out of town today through Sun so I think I'll have a better shot tonight and this weekend. (so like ya'll should harass me and get me off my *kitten*).

    SJ, is there a chart we're supposed to fill in or a ticker or something? Please advise Darling.

    Brad is at ....will update when he tells me.. he is packing.

    SJ, is there a chart we're supposed to fill in or a ticker or something? Please advise Darling.

    Brad is at ....will update when he tells me.. he is packing.

    i have made little graphs in an excel document that i'm updating as i get results. but i just realized that i have no idea how to get that to show up on here. how does everyone feel about me setting up a group email to send off the updates each week so we can watch each others progress? or would you all like me to keep track and send the results at the end so you can see how you did?

    i dont know. suggestions?

    is everyone down with me emailing??

    Well after the 100lbs I gained this weekend, my goal is now to lose 104lbs. Ugh....but worth it :).

    Also, emails work for me. Whatever is easiest for you SJ.

    okay. i was trying to save the excel doc in as anything else and i think that it just isnt cooperating or i'm dense. either is a distinct possibility so if curtis, brad, and jessalyn could just send me their email addresses that would be great. you can Private Message them to me. :)

    Almost weigh in time, are you guys ready?
  • merrillfoster
    merrillfoster Posts: 855 Member
    Nope, I have been absolutely terrible this week--zero exercise and over cals pretty much every day. This month sucks for me, but if you guys want to do another one in Oct, I plan to rock Oct (with or without you all, but I always prefer with!). I refuse to turn 30 until I reach my goals, which gives me 2 months to get my sorry *kitten* in shape :)...or :(, I'm not sure yet.

    Bad news---I've gained 2 pounds. But I have been really strict on myself and only thing ive done different is played tennis twice this week. So im hoping its muscle. anyway:

    Current weight 280.2 :(
    Previous weight 278.2

    Oh well, i won't dwell. I'm optimistic for the rest of the month and i'm only going to move forward and get it done.

    Peace.
