Butterball Babies~ ! (Closed Group)

Thanks Melleyd, I'm trying to change my mindset like that but it's really hard to change 48 years of dieting habits!

Donna, I know EXACTLY how you feel (see above rant!)

Anniep-awesome on the loss!

My goal for the week was 2031 calories. 1580 plus the 451 I lacked for last weeks goal. This week I have burned a total of 2740 calories. Total water consumed 41. 4 more cups today won't be a problem!
I am checking in @ 155.5 today! Loss of 2.5 pounds!
Good luck everyone finishing up your goals!
Go team red ladybugs!!

Great job jenneyd!

Team Orange - I know we've been pounding hard, but it appears we need to pound harder & refresh.

I didn't gain but I didn't lose either.... AGAIN! I am seriously looking back at my diary & seeing my downfalls - little things that I have allowed to get out of control & not holding myself accountable - doing the almost ostrich effect (sticking my head in the ground so I don't really "see" what I'm doing wrong!)

It's time to step back & re-*kitten*. My food diary is open for you to peruse & tell me what I should maybe cut out which may be impeding my progress & if you'd like, open your diary's & I'll do that same. We can see things in each other that we don't see in ourselves - and that's what this is all about.

I also just found out that my in-laws are offering to pay for me & Hubby to take a mini-vacation since we never got to get a Honeymoon when we got married earlier this year (we got one day together the day after & then it was back to work & life so still haven't got to "celebrate" our union!). The only time we can both get off work is less than 2 weeks away!!!! SO..... I HAVE to lose at least 4 pounds so I can wear my bathing suite & shorts and a couple of my cute dresses if we go out. I'm not worried about gaining from vacation as we're getting a unit with a mini-kitchen so I can still prepare my own foods (safer with my food allergies for me to take care of myself), but I need to get a handle on my foods. Critisism from anyone is WELCOME!! I need it right now

To everyone that lost & met or exceeded goals - that is AWESOME!! You're retraining your body & mind now so it will be easier to maintain a month from now - Congrats!!!

Suzanne-you KILLED your goals...WTG!!! Glad to have you on my team!!:drinker:

Pat-you did a great job with both of the goals this week!! And even if you were a little short on water, you still tried to get in more than normal, and that is what counts...wtg! and CONGRATS on your loss!:drinker:

Renee-good comeback girlie...you were so close!

CONGRATS TO THOSE OF YOU HAD LOSSES AND TO THOSE OF YOU WHO MET THEIR GOALS!!! EVERYONE IS DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB!

Anita-no prob...you are gonna do great at a 10k...I know it! and don't be too upset about the small gain...sometimes when you start cranking out more exercise then your body is used to, you will have a gain due to the water retention and build of of lactic acid in the muscles for rebuilding...it's normal and should come back off soon!:flowerforyou:

cardbucfan-read my message to Anita....same goes for you!!! PLUS, you are soooo close to your goal, your body will not give up those last 2.7lbs easily! My suggestion to you: take your measurements ASAP and start using that along with the scale numbers, and try switching up your workouts...no reducing strength...just start a new routine! once your body gets used to one type of exercise, iot tends to not react so kindly to it....keep your head up, you are doing great, and it will show on the scale sooner or later:flowerforyou:

Donna-same as I told Anita and cardbucfan....and just keep your head up!:flowerforyou:

Rynatat-great idea to open your diary to your team...it always helps having extra eyes and extra ideas!! and CONGRATS on the vacay offer...I am sure it will be a blast, and it gives you something to work towards!

Team Yellow - I posted my exercise/ water last night and weighed in early this morning. I just can't follow the thread during the rest of the week because there is so much of it. Please know that I comment and encourage my teammates on my newsfeed. We are still here. :happy:

ohh i like this new challange!

1. Do 30 Push-ups per day!
im going to try and do this in sets of 3 so i can get them done!

2. 50 Cups of Water for the week at least!
water is not a problem for me.

3. AT LEAST 5 SERVINGS of Fruit and VEGGIES per day and 4. LOG EVERYTHING YOU EAT EVERY DAY!!!!!

Ok so ive been in a bit of a funk lately with my food and have developed a sweet tooth for biscuits and sweets which is very unlike me! Im a chocoholic so will have to factor in some chocolate but in minimal quantities. so time to change and start eating cleaner! I start off badly with my chocolate cereal i think! so after this box is done im going to stop! bring on the 5 a day! will try my best for it. also ive been errm not putting some things in my diary so will make sure i do that from now!

30 pushups, again will try and get this done in 3 sets of 10 or so throughout the day. didnt manage any yesterday as ive only just read the challenge!



TEAM ORANGE: what do you guys say to a team challenge too? Nat and Angie i know you two are struggling as i am with sweets and treats! shall we try and limit these as part of our challenge? My diary is open so feel free to comment! let me know what you think! what about other orange team members?
