Over 200 Club Week 4 (open group)

I am here. :drinker:

Challenge yet? Just checking to see if I missed it

Weigh-in for me today is 196.8, which is down 1.8 lbs from last week (198.6). Slow but steady!!

Way to go - under the 200 mark! Well - my weigh in is 221 - which is probably the same as last week, but we went away for a romantic weekend and I haven't logged my food all week because I have been sick...so I am just happy I didn't gain. I need some motivation! I haven't worked out for 2 weeks now - last week we had company and this week I have a brutal cold and can't seem to catch my breath. I feel horrible and guilty and disappointed in myself and need to just snap out of it. Any one else ever gone through a slump like this too?

Thanks! It feels good to finally be under 200, but now I've just got to keep it under!

Hang in there, get better and get back to exercising as soon as you can. I had a really bad head cold this past week and didn't workout nearly as much as normal. However, if you can keep an eye on your caloric intake and drink lots of water, then you should be okay for a short while without exercise. My first workout at the end of being sick was strength training that included lunges and kept my heart pumping at a good fat-burning rate. Even though I still had my cold, working up a sweat without a high intensity workout and drinking lots of water really helped me feel better. Get well soon!

Sorry Guys! I have been totally MIA and I feel bad!

Does anyone have a suggestion for this week's challenge? It's been really hard for me to get on managing the baby and school... I would love suggestions for the challenge though!

Crunches!!!:drinker:

Weighing in at 216.2 down 4lbs this week
Thanks for all your support

100 crunches for me today...I hope crunches are worth the sweat lol:flowerforyou:

Ok, so I just did BL Cardio Max- that baby is a killer! I got through levels 1 and 2 and burned 500 cal! Woo Hoo! I also started a lean round of P90X today so I did 60 min of core.

My boyfriend and I usually do pull ups and crunches together, so I'll report on my number later.

Question: How much water are you all drinking each day when you're doing well? I've been trying to drink a gallon a day, but that is hard to do! I can usually get down 3 liters, but thats it on most days.

Hope you all are having a great night!

I dont drink nearly gallon ..6-8 glasses for me when summer comes I wil drink more naturally

Hi all, I think this is where I need to be - the numbers don't lie. I've gained 5 pounds back in the last week - I know :mad: but I'm trying to change it. I'll try to join the challenge by walking this week.

I'll read up on all you guys later - I just need to commit right now to my eating and exercising.

Will post weight on friday.

Welcome! Hang in there. I know you can do it and get back on track. We're all in this together, so we're with you girl!

Ok, ok....I will try. This is one of my least favorite exercises! But I will try.:sick:

I only have 4 lbs to lose before being "out of the 200s" but I have only lost 1 lb over the last 3 weeks. :sad: I need some motivation!!

I have been working up to running on the treadmill little by little each day, getting a little faster. I ran for 2 minutes last Wednesday (the first time in YEARS!) and actually went for 5 min on Thursday. Today I ran three 5 minute intervals(on 5.5) with 2 minutes rests in between each time. :happy: I was sweating like a dog but I felt so good about myself!!! As I said before, I haven't ran, um.....probably since playing softball & soccer about 14 years ago. I am working on increasing a little more each day!!!

I did 45 Monday and 45 today.

Why not shoot for a longer time on the treadmill instead of a fast jog...I think you may get more out of it if you walk for 60min or so perhaps with some handweights....u could do the walking and jog as an additional...do u do other excercises as well?.....Good luck in your journey

125 crunches done today!! Now off to do my 2.5 workout and burn my 1300 cals for the day.Good Luck to everyone.

125 crunches today..woot woot:drinker: Belly fat be GONE!!
