    I moved the additional people down off of the chart because I haven't received weigh-ins from them in 3 consecutive weeks. If you are one of these people, I'll put you right back on the chart as soon as you update me on your weight. We seem to lose a good chunk every week. :ohwell:

    Great job everyone!

    Goals for this week are more exercise including riding my bike, and more home-cooked meals for the family. My son and I also need to practice some defenses and forms for karate.

    Sorry Rach. I was out of town this weekend and was only updating from my phone. I did get a chance to let you know my changed weight! Oh well, until next time!!

    Goal for this week:
    - Get my body's water table back under control
    - Start P90X
    - Ride my horse at least once
    - Eat my calories for a week. I was WAY too under lately.

    Thanks Rach! I had a bad weekend, but I'm already down a pound this morning...thank goodness.

    I need to drink more water. I need to log everything. I need to run Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

    Thanks, Rach!

    This week and next I need to get back into the habit of actually following my exercise plan! I already missed a day this week because I wasn't feeling well. CANNOT happen again!

    Nicely done all! I'm hoping to have a loss, eventually. I'm in the second week of half marathon training (HMT) and today is a 50min run/walk/crawl...lol

    My next 5k is this Saturday, can't wait! And next month is my first ever Warrior Dash! Woot Woot!!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    See, too bad weigh in wasn't today! I lost 1.1lb today, guess that will work out great by the time Monday rolls around again!

    Thanks Rach for all that you do!
    I seem to be good Monday - Friday so this weeks goal is to stay on track over the weekend also,
    this is where I always blow it. I have one meal (cheat meal) and my head says "well you have already
    cheated" and I keep going. Not going to do that this weekend, no cheat meal.
    Have a great week Pin-Ups

    Alright guys we need to step it up! Me included. In 2 weeks I start back at my old job which is more manual labor. No chair butt for me!! Out wandering a chemical plant 10hrs a day, lots of walking, stairs, ladders, and climbing towers/tanks etc. Going to ease back into exercising but I really want to do the month of Brazil Butt Lift, so maybe starting in October once my abdomen is 100% again. For now I'm going to get my butt back on the treadmill even if it's just to walk a mile.

    How are you going to step it up this week??

    Thanks for your work each week, Rach!!

    This past weekend was complete rubbish for me, but I am happy to see the number on the scale coming down already this week. I have a VERY hectic week this week so getting in good workouts is going to be a challenge, but I am planning on doing stationary bike or treadmill tomorrow morning, Body Works class tomorrow evening, bike or treadmill again on Friday morning and then bootcamp class on Saturday morning. Meeting with my trainer on Monday evening so I hope that will be a good workout, too!

    Hope you all have a great week!

    Have a great week Pin-Ups

    Me too! This weekend was especially killer because it was my nephew's 8th birthday. He decorated his own cake (chocolate cake, chocolate frosting) with Reese's Pieces and Hershey Kisses. Even a small piece was enough sugar to put a diabetic into shock.

    Well I've stayed the same for the past two weeks and I'm hoping to break through this plateau and get into the 170s. I honestly can't remember the last time I was in that weight range.... sad but true! Anyways, my plan for the week is to drink more water, take my supplements religiously, get in 3 or 4 cardio sessions AND strength training every other day. Actually, yesterday was my first day of strength training and I'm feeling it in my hamstrings and biceps but it's a good feeling... even a little empowering. :bigsmile: I hope adding the strength training to my routine will kick it up enough to restart my weight loss. Although I know I shouldn't be looking for a loss next week because if history repeats itself and I'm sure it will, I've gained the first week of a new program (i.e.: 30 Day Shred) and lost the second. I was told this is because your muscles hold on to water (weight) to help repair themselves so we shall see what Monday brings. Regardless, gain, lose or maintain, I know I'm investing in my body by making it stronger and taking better care of it and the effort will be worth it in the long run.

    Hope all of you Pin-Ups have a fabulous week! And Rach, your work is always appreciated! :flowerforyou:

    Definitely get some more exercise in and start walking again.:)

    I know I need to step it up again, but the motivation is waning a little bit. I Move a lot more this year at my job than previous years (my room in my new school is upstairs and I have to go up and down those 24 stairs at LEAST 4 times per day... Average would be 6-8 I'd say. I should start counting.)

    Anyway I need to get back into more cardio. I just need to do it but I keep making excuses... Blah. Oh well. I will figure it out shortly I'm sure... I have also not been caring as much if I go over my calories for the day... I shoud work on that. I need to go back to "only one day over per week"... But that's a lot easier to do when you are doing more cardio... Hmmm

    Thanks rach... I appreciate the chart! I will try to step it up a bit.

    I'm stepping it up with the addition of treadmill walking now that my foot it on its way to being healed.

    How I am stepping it up:
    I am taking the enormous plunge and starting P90X tonight. Lord help me...
    On days that I ride I will NOT be doing P90X as there is no coming back from a 1000 calorie burn (eating healthy wise). I want to keep it reasonable.
    I am also going to get off my duff and hit the grocery store. I am going to plan meals and eat healthy and not try to scrounge together something out of the pantry that is processed and gross.

    Hi Ladies!!

    Just to let you all know that I've not dropped off the face of the earth! My M.E. has been flaring up something terrible recently, so have been taking it easy for a while!

    Eating isn't too bad, but could probably be better!

    I don;t think I was eating enough carbs, I've incorporated a very small amount of rice into my diet and seem to be doing much better, so am pleased about that!

    Also the scale is moving down again! hoping I can keep it that way!!! Desperate to see the back of the 180's for good and be somewhere in the mid 170's by the end of the challenge! perfectly achievable, I just have to pull my finger outta my butt!!

    You've all been doing great!!

    Special thanks to you again Rach! Hope you're feeling much better!!!

    Will be back with numbers next week!!

    Ciao xx

    Great job ladies!!!

    I'm so glad this short crazy week is almost over. DD started 4th grade yesterday - yikes! Today I'm off to get my hair cut after work. Thankfully, I see next week being much calmer. Looking forward to it.

    Thank you Rach! I hope all is well with you!
