Hey!!! I didn't lose this week but I didn't gain. I've been on a mini vacation so I haven't been as focused as I should have been. My goals this week:
1. Go to the gym a minimum of 4 times
2. Drink all my water
3. No fast food
4. Watch my sodium and carb intake
Have a good week everyone0 -
I started juicing this week. I haven't really been eating all that great. My schedule was kinda messed up last week with jury duty, but this week I plan to do better. That's my goal anyway. I weigh the same this week as I did last weigh in...ugh...but cant be too mad at that--at least it's not more. LOL
The juicing thing is ok. I haven't figured out what I like and what I don't like yet, but I think I'll get there eventually. I ate dinner tonight though. My run had me hungry0 -

I juice on and off. A lot of people love carot juice, I'm not one of them but they're better if you peel them before you juice.
My favorite: 6 celery stalks, 1 cucumber, 1 yellow pepper. Peppers are really good!
Good Luck0 -
Weight :149
Goals
WATER
GYM
I’m in Brazil right now so it’s hard to track my food. But I’ll do a little research. The food here is amazing!0 -
Hi gang! Sorry been off for awhile. School is in and my work is crazy(I work nights). So here it is.....195! ugh! Didn't loose anything this week but also on a lighter note ...didn't gain either. My goal this week is to hit the water and make better food choices. My daughters are both is sports...1 is a cheerleader and 1 is in soccer so meals are wierd this week but I have a plan to do better. Also my TOM is making me want to eat and be miserable. A friend and I have a goal to loose weight before Thanksgiving also and we paln to hit walking 3 times a week at the park while my youngest daughter is in preschool. Plan of attack made and so here it is...a new week to a new me! Yay! Have a great soggy Monday gals!0

I'm proud to say that I didn't gain any weight during my camping trip...even water weight, which is a feat for me since it's hard to resist sugary and salty treats in that type of setting. Hubby and I brought pre-cooked chicken and veggies to cook in foil and didn't bring any snacks, which was my saving grace.
Last week's weight: 132
CW: 131
Also just signed up for a 5K obstacle course race filled with "zombies" called Run For Your Lives that is at the end of October, so I plan on hitting up P90X again consistently to get my strength and endurance back up to where it was a few months ago. Hopefully I'll get a nice side effect of losing weight more quickly too!!
Goal 1 - Work out every day this week, including the weekend
Goal 2 - Lose 0.5 lbs0 -
Well, I am glad I put off my check in for a day. I got on the scale yesterday "just to see" and had "gained" a pound, though I knew it wouldn't be accurate! So, TWO pounds lighter today Here are my new measurements
Neck: 13.5
Bust: 39.75
Waist: 34
(I added this one, it is the biggest part around my belly and is down 2 inches from last time) Belly Roll: 39
Hips: 42.5
Thighs: 24.25
Calves: 14.5
I can see the difference in that there is less "fluff" around the edges; this is getting exciting0 -
Well I forgot to put my goals...plus I looked at my past measurements....hmmm lost a little in a couple places and gained a little...so I think it's a wash. Surprised to have gained in the bust; not sure what that is about but I am not complaining
So my goals for this week are:
Pilates 3 times
Memorize 2-3 Zumba toning songs for my class which starts next week
walk 6 days
drink 10 or more glasses of water a day0 -
Amazing losses, ladies!!! I can't wait to see the results on the spreadsheet on November 14th!!!
New day, new week for me!!!
Goals:
1. 400+ cals burned a day. No exceptions.
2. No sweets or junk at all anymore. Eating clean.
3. Water!!!
I saw pictures of myself from four years ago and I looked so good!! I want to get back there!!! Have an awesome week, ladies!! Let's kill it!!!0 -
Hey ladies! Just checking in. I opted to skip weighing in this week. I was sick all last week and then had TOM. Over the weekend my Father-in-law went into the hospital which became a bad case of stress overeating. I decided that I didn't want to have another de-motivating factor so I am taking a week off of the scale in hopes that when I step on it next week I can counter any damage that I did last week and over the weekend.
My goals for this week are:
- be honest about what I am eating and track everything
- Drink water
- go running at least 2 times
- watch sodium intake
- No snacking after 8 pm.
Sorry I haven't been much support for this challenge. I am in a funk and am desparately trying to claw my way out of it.0 -
Wow! Today is already thursday and I have not exercised one day this week I don't know what is up with me this week but I am really tired all day and have no energy at all Going to try my best to get my run today and maybe even some UFC Trainer or Zumba too. Hope everyone else is doing better than me0
-
Popping in to say howdy...been a crazy week - started the new job, not eating well - but trying. Am working out somewhat, however. My upper body is so sore from doing bridges/planks per my trainer...gonna yell at him tomorrow.
Hope everyone is doing well!!!0 -
It has just been a crazy week for me. I haven't really had a lot of time to exercise like I want/should. Hopefully weigh-in Monday won't be too bad.
My goals this weekend:
run the Beardsley 5k Saturday
walk six miles Sunday
drink plenty of water
do my best to stay within my calories0 -

Thamre- good luck on your 5k tomorrow!!
Everyone else, keep it going!! Next week, we'll have to restart weekly challenges!!0 -
FINALLY getting measurements in! I still need to take a few, but I will edit this post tonight with the rest. Pretty excited to see I'd lost 1.5" off my hips (my usual problem area) since early April!!
I also wasn't sure where to take the arm measurement, so it took it across my bicep since that's the widest part. Let me know if that's wrong and I'll change it.
Measurements:
Bust: (right across nipples)
Waist: 28.5
Navel-line:
Hips (widest part!): 36
Calves: R- , L-
Arms: (where they jiggle!) R- 10, L-10.5
Thighs: (widest part!) R- , L-
Neck:0 -
Hi everyone!
I just wanted to say I think everyone is doing a great job. I love seeing how much everyone is losing! How did everyone do with their goals this week? I did very well. I squeezed in two spin classes and got on the elliptical for a bit last night.
My weekend goals:
Fit in cardio sometime on Satuday and take spin class on Sunday!
Going out to dinner tonight at a restaurant with high calorie meals- going to try my best a keeping the calories to a reasonable amount.
Keep in check with my calories the rest of the weekend
Get my water in
I want to weight in under 160 on Monday! I want this really bad!
Have a great weekend ladies! :flowerforyou:0 -
Hey Ladies, we've had some craziness in my neck of the woods. Two deaths in the family, and my daughter was really sick this week. Sorry I bailed on you all, I hope to be back on track by Monday, and I hope to catch up with you all. Take care.0
-
OK, so it's been hectic here between work, kids school and then football and soccer season. I know, it's no excuse to bail on my diet but I need to somehow refocus myself. My weight did stay the same at 195 this week so at least it didn't move up. Planning my meals and diet better this week and hopefully get back on track. Hope all is well and hope everyone does awesome. Also, I'm willing to put up a challenge anytime if you want another to help out in any way.0

8-15: 159.0
8-22: 162.4
8-29: 158.0
9-6: No weigh in
9-12: 156.2
I am back on track and it feels great! I did great with food last week (with the exception of last night when I couldn't stop snacking). I am still not exercising much. I fractured my finger tip last week and if I don't have my hand elevated it throbs so exercising hasn't really been possible. Hopefully it will feel better in a couple of days and I can start running again.
My goals for the week:
- Follow my meal plan for dinners
- No snacking after I close out my diary
- Drink water!
- Be more active.
Lets have a great week ladies!0 -
weigh in this morning was 176...no change again. Now that my crazy work week is over I can get back to eating right and exercising and hopefully the scale will start moving again. My weekend was jammed packed...but managed to get in some exercise...did a 5k Saturday morning, went for a 10 mile bike ride Saturday afternoon and a 4 mile walk yesterday morning.
My goals this week:
eat right
start 30 day shred
drink more water0 -
My weight in this morning was at 191 (last week was 193) - although Saturday morning I was at 189.4. I liked that one better. LOL I don't think I drank enough water over the weekend - need to work on that.
The next two weeks will be difficult for exercise - part of what keeps me going to the gym is my daughter's swim team schedule there...and for the next two weeks, the pool is closed...SO - my big goal for the next two weeks is to keep going to the gym regularly!!!0 -
I'm at 177.6!0

Hi Ladies,
Well, I'm aiming to be back on track starting today, especially after a 4lb gain from 2 weeks ago. Yikes. Last week was very full of stress and I definitely did a lot of emotional eating. It was supposed to be a week full of fun with my family, whom I never get to see, instead, my uncle died, my husband's aunt died, and my daughter had a bad asthma flare-up. Not exactly what you'd call fun.
So, my weigh-in today is 216. I will be purchasing a new scale ASAP because this one is not very consistent, which is so frustrating. Anyway, I hope to do better and at least exercise every day this week. My husband finally went to midnights with his job, so I'd like to work out a schedule with him so I can exercise in the morning while he gets my daughter ready for school. That way it's done, out of the way and I can plan my meals/calories for the rest of the day. As it stands now (WHEN I exercise!) I'm exercising after I drop my son off in the afternoon. Sometimes stuff pops up at that point and my exercise gets pushed to the side, so not a good plan.
Anyway, I hope you girls have a wonderful week!
Take care,
Bridget0 -
Hello all,
Weigh in this morning at 158.6; down 1.6 this week. Goodbye 160s!
My September is going to be pretty busy with both boys playing soccer and the oldest in HS marching band. But I will do my best to get my workouts in.
My goals for the week:
two spin classes this week, maybe even three if I could fit it in. Weight lifting class on Tuesday.
plan ahead my meals and stay close to my calorie goals
Shamrock - sorry for your losses!0 -
Awesome numbers!!!
My weigh-in was 180.0- down 1.6.- so that's good!!!
Beachgurl- you're in the 150's!!! Yea, buddy!!!!
Bridget, again so sorry for your losses...glad to see things are settling down for you!!
Imarunner- awesome work! Scale keeps going down!!
Bjclaywell- I know the feeling- I am trying to only count my Monday weigh-ins even though sometimes it's lower during the week!
Thamre- maintaining is good too!!
Drcarrier- you are amazing!!!
My goals for this week-
1. Eat clean- be under cals each day
2. Exercise everyday.
3. Be 178 by Monday!!
Let's do it!!
I will post the weekly challenge later today! (sorry these have not been so weekly!)0 -
Oh no... I've gained and I weigh more than when I started this challenge. I weighed in at 278. I think it is a mixture of bad choices on my vacation, water weight, and it being that time of month. I'm getting back on track today and hopefully the number will be back down next week. I hate seeing such a significant increase. I went from 273.2 to 278. :frown:
My goals for the week:
Log every bite every day!
Drink 8 cups of water a day!
Exercise 5 out of 7 days and 3 of those days at the gym!0 -
EWWW!! Okay so a gain! But this is a new week and I am so committed to make this happen.
LW: 156.6
CW: 158.2
Week goals:
1) Lose at least 1 lb
2) Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day (really hard for me)
3) Be under my cals everyday (also very hard for me)
4) Workout even when I feel tired and just want to veg out on the couch and watch TV0 -
Well, no loss this week, but it is PMS time for me so am thinking I am a bit bloated. I managed 2 of my 3 goals this week, YAY!!!
New goals are:
Continue Pilates 3 times a week, but increase time from 30 to 40 minutes
Live my life as if on my school schedule so I will not be too worn out when school actually starts
Continue to drink 10 glasses of water a day
Stop acting as if I was still sick, acknowledge days I don't feel well, but then move on and live like it is in the past, not the present0 -
Not sure what my weight is this week but I am guessing 154, I didn't exerise much last week
Goals for this week:
-Complete c25k week 4
-Do UFC Trainer 3 days
-Do Zumba 3 days
- Drink 8 glasses of water a day
-Stay away from the box of chips on my frigde
-Replace breakfast or lunch everyday with Fiber 1 cereal
Might not be checking in here much for the next 4 weeks, my instructor for this class is being really hard on me for some reason.0
