    Down 0.8 lbs today...so close to a pound! :tongue:

    I also did my measurements and I'm down an inch in my thighs :happy:

    For my check-in goal - I want to be down 5lbs and down 2 inches in my thighs and stomach.

    My weight stayed the same this week. I can't complain 'cus I have a bunged up knee from my supposed ski vacation :laugh:

    I can't do any cardio for a few weeks but I've been doing an upper body weight routine to keep me in the groove. :wink:

    I think the goal idea is great! I'm going to pick a 5 lb weight loss for my goal, with the time line my phsiotherapist gave me for my knee to heal I should get enough cardio in by then to do it!!! :bigsmile:

    i dont have a scale at home thats really up to par, so i wont know my weight until i go to the gym today.
    my goal is to be 125 by april 30th, always working out 5 days a week for an hour, and to put my fat percentage down. It was 21.8.
    good luck everyone

    I will set my goal to be 5 pounds for 4/30/09. I hope that I pass this up but the way my schedule has been going I am not real sure.

    :drinker: :drinker: 2 glasses by 10:15!! I am setting records today!

    Start 163
    wk 1 162.6
    wk 2 161.2

    I'm not sure how I lost a pound from working out only 1 day this past week but none the less it's awesome.


    My goal by April 30th is to be in the 140's and fit in my jeans without an exploding 'muffin top' :bigsmile:

    So, I don't know what's going on with me. I'm a member of the gree team and we had our weigh in yesterday. I was up to 157.8 from 156.4. Today, for our weigh in, I'm down to 155.6. I just don't get it:grumble: but I'll take it.

    The goal I'd like to reach by April 30th is to complete the 100 pushups and 200 situps challenges I'm working on. These challenges both have their own threads if anyone wants to participate. The pushups is under support and motivation and the situps is under fitness and exercise. I'd link them but I don't know how:frown:

    3/5/09: 162
    3/12/09: 160.5

    :smile: Down another pound and a half! :smile:

    I started a Bikram Yoga class today and my goal is to go 3 or 4 times per week. . . . no matter what. Even if it means 9am on Sunday mornings.

    My goal for April 30th will be 150 lbs and no muffin top (or inner tube smuggler) :happy:

    I think that would be a great idea. I like Tamaras ideas..maybe we could pick one that we want?!?

    sounds great guys, so if we all pick a goal for the 30th April, something that we really want to achieve, be it, fitness level, exercise time, weight, inches or whatever will get you motivated!

    wk 0 - 177
    wk 1 - 176
    wk 2 - 174.8

    i did ok with the challenges, but i could have done a lot better :blushing:

    i compared calories and figures on bread, but i was very surprised by all the added stuff so i am going to try to eat homemade bread from now on

    congrats on all your losses guys, we WILL do it!

    i will post next weeks challenges tomorrow morning when everyone has weighed in, if you have any suggestions feel free to add them, i was thinking that thinking of a realistic goal for 30th April could be one of our challenges this week

    i always set my goals too high, then i get really mad when i dont reach them, so be careful ladies, set a good goal for yourself, one that you have to work hard at, but not one that is really never going to work! (like i do! lol) :blushing:

    Hey ladies

    SW 186
    CW 184

    My goal by april 30 is to be 175 or less so that I can fit in something else then my maternity jeans for my daughter's baptism on the 3 of may.

    I think that a good challenge idea would be a exsercise like climb # of flight of stairs or # of crunches. Then we could share how many we have done for the whole week.

    I think I'm going to add to my original goal. I would like to be able to do 100 consecutive squats by April 30th (starting out slowly and working up to it, of course:bigsmile: ).

    Hi everyone,

    A second week on MFP, and a second pound of weight lost. I am SOOOO pleased with myself!!! I didn't do any comparing, but I did adjust portion sizes quite a bit, based on the calories MFP would show when I entered my meals, and that is probably a bigger deal to me. I loved the idea of doing 50 crunches a day from some other person's challenge, so I incorporated that, and push ups and squats either during the day, or in the middle of my workout.

    Yesterday and today I actually made the 2L of water challenge, which was another first. So much quality time in the bathroom. But at least my hands are really, really clean.

    I'm not ready to think ahead to an April 30th goal, I just keep thinking about the next Thursday weigh-in. What workouts will I do from now until then, so that the scale keeps heading downward from Thursday to Thursday?

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    I've been MIA for a while for personal resons. But, I'm able to refocus now. My weight for today's weight in 203. Down about half a pound. So not too bad. I will have to read all these post for the last week and a half to catch up with all you beautiful babes! Can't wait to see you all in your bathing suits in a bit. :drinker: :bigsmile:

    just wanted to say i love this group, some groups are way to hardcore and strict to the point where it sounds ridiculous to me. its deffinitly important to make this a healthy life long choice, its not reasonable to follow some of the strict guidlines some people are in other threads. so yeah e thumbs up for this group, everyone seems to have done good this week, congrats!
