GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!0 -
thanks mak and lttee!
mrogers: hope you feel better soon!
wednesday check-in:
1- Keep up with Chalean X schedule - Lean circuit 1 DONE!
2- 5 fruits/veggies a day DONE!
3- Drink a glass of water before every meal. DONE!0 -
sharron6906 – Great goals to choose! Good luck this week. Mini goals are a great way to get yourself on track
Mrogers52 – I’m so sorry to hear you have another cold! Great job with your goals, it sounds like you are doing well even with the cold. Hope Zumba is going well!
KrisPage – Sounds like you are doing well with your calories and water. Good luck getting C25K in.
Papillon22 – Awesome job with your goals. You are doing so well Keep it your doing so amazing :happy:
I’m getting my check in done early today. Then I’m off to spend some time with the husband.
Wednesday check in:
1. 30DS – Got my shredding done nice and early this morning.
2. Get in 3 non 30DS workouts in – I’m hoping to get one in a little later tonight before I go to bed.
3. Bring lunch and snacks to work every day – Done! It’s getting a little light in the fridge again… seems to happen at the end of the week. Tomorrow might be interesting. I’m taking Friday off of work so I won’t have to pack a lunch tomorrow.
4. No extra BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, sips) – Did ok today with this. Had a few bites here and there better then yesterday, but there is still room for improvement.
Went out to dinner with a good friend, we had a wonderful meal, but I didn't make the healthiest decisions. We had Chinese food, which is typically higher in sodium. I hope I haven’t tanked my whole week.
Hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday. :drinker: Here’s to a great Thursday!0 -
Mak, 30DS scares me. I guess when I get smaller my shins will be able to handle the jumping. Keep it up. I know you will be amazing at it.
La_nanita, we’ll get through this stupid TOM thing (I’m apparently in the club as well) and you are doing so well. Great job! Don’t get discouraged. And woah, 5k, you go girl!
Kris and lttee, thanks. The goals for myself are the hardest ones I’ve ever done. Seems we don’t take care of ourselves enough, huh?
Lttee, have you started Chalean yet? Do you like it? I sure hope so. I stick to her routine for the most part and it kicks my butt! What ab workout did you do?
Philosohoe, having lived in a women’s college I have experienced that phenomenon. Unfortunately, I too am apparently in this club as well. We really are a close group! LOL! And yes, PCOS sucks. Thankfully, I’m the type that never had any symptoms at all; but when I’m taking fertility drugs I really feel for women who do.
Papillion, I’m so proud that you’re so dedicated to your exercise routine. Trust me, you’ll appreciate that more and more as time goes on and your body slows down. Way to go!
Mrogers, way to go on your sodium and exercise goals. You’re doing amazing!
Sharon, welcome and great goals!
Progress:
1. Chalean X schedule completely as is, except I will be switching in burn intervals in favor of zumba if I can make it. Otherwise, going to do the schedule as such and then add in one day of extra cardio in some form.-Did Push 2 tonight. I need to work on my form because my shoulders are killing me already.
2. Try to find some me time in every day. With my longer hours, I no longer feel like I have time to do what I want. Maybe I should take half of my lunch hour and do something stress relieving.-had some me time with a longer shower tonight and then today at work took 15 minutes of my lunch to goof off and play games. It was nice.
3. Do something fun next weekend with my husband and child. We've spent too many weekends away from the house running errands or doing things for others. Now it's time for fun!—can’t wait for this goal.0 -
Ladygloria - my respect for you doing chalean is greatly increased, and anyone that can stick to a schedule has my awe and admiration. I have chopped up parts of the very first video and done it without weights about a week ago, but once my weights came in I'm all for it. Today I did that video again with weights. Don't know how much I'll follow her schedule, would like to, but not sure if I'm that dedicated yet.
MAK - great job on your BLTS, and yeah, chinese food is tough one on sodium. You're still doing fantastic
My check in:
Exercise 7 times, two chalean, abs three: went swimming, and completed chalean burn 1.
Calories = protein outnumbers fat: check
3 fruits/veggies: 2 servings of fruit again. Gosh this goal is so difficult for me. I reallly need to pack something for lunch instead of expecting everything to magically happen after work.0 -
Wednesday night check in:
1) Exercise 5/7 days--2/7 tonight
2) 10-12 cups of water everyday--check 2/7
3) Try to keep Sodium & Logged Potassium as close as possible and Sodium under 2000 5/7 days--check 3/7
4) DO NOT WEIGH IN ON ANY DAY OTHER THAN MONDAY--check 3/7 I PROMISE, AVOW, AND AFFIRM THAT I WILL NOT WEIGH IN TOMORROW. (There is a sick and twisted part of my brain that wants to weigh in despite the fact that I know that I am full blown TOM and probably holding on to every drop of the 10 cups of water I drank today. It's almost like I want to sabotage myself with negativity. This is why I do my chant. FYI, I don't copy/paste that sh*. I type out every word and say it in my head and sometimes out loud when I'm feeling too much temptation.)
MAK--I don't know where, but I think I've heard other people talk about getting stuck in the "odd tens" too. What a weird phenomenon. However, you are seriously kicking butt with your program, so I know that you'll do great with breaking through your next milestone.
Ladygloria--WTG with your Chalean! Ittee & I did Burn 1 in three parts mostly because I'm a wuss. She did it straight through on her own while I was working late. She's so sweet to slow down for me. Anyway, I am so impressed by your dedication to the program. I get dizzy with NO weights and can't do floor work yet because of stupid back/hip problems.
Papillon22--Nice work with your veggies & workouts! Keeping up with all of that while still staying on track with studying is NOT easy! You should be proud! I know we're proud of you! :smooched:
KrisPage--Good job keeping up with your water while doing all that outdoorsy work. I've been struggling with water this week just because I get too busy at work and forget even though my water bottle is sitting right next to me and staring at me all day.:ohwell:
So tomorrow I'm headed out of town again. Fun family reunion time at Disneyland! I know I'll be getting a lot of walking in, but I'm a little nervous about how food will go. I'm allowing myself 2 free days from my sodium count, but I still don't want to go crazy. Plus I have a wedding to go to on Saturday, so wish me luck. I'll be logging in from my phone, so I probably won't get a chance to check in with the group for a few days. Probably back Sunday in time for new goals for the week.
Hope everyone has a fantastic finish to the week. Happy 1st day of Autumn too! HUGS EVERYONE!!!!0 -
My check in:
Exercise 7 times, two chalean, abs three: went swimming, did half of chalean burn interval, and did ab burner. So amazingly checked all three of in a way today.
Calories = protein outnumbers fat: check
3 fruits/veggies: 3.5!! I actually am learning and packed fruit for work.0 -
Hi everyone! It seems like everyone is working so hard on their mini goals, it’s really inspiring and making me work hard on my mini goals (even those evil BLTS … more on those later)
Ladygloria – have to admit 30DS scares me. That Jillian Michaels is intense, and level 1 is tough. But I am going to keep working at it. Great job with your goals this week. You are doing so great with Chalean X! Glad to hear you got some me time in and you had a good time. That is great to hear. Almost time for those fun weekend plans! You will have to tell us all about them!!
Ittee – Thank you Great job with your workout goal Wednesday and Thursday. You are doing so great. 3.5 servings of fruit and veggies today way to go! Keep on packing that fruit for lunch.
Philosohoe – Thank you It’s hard to believe 5 pounds and I go from obese to overweight. Never thought I would be so excited to be overweight! LOL!! I love the fact that you type out your vow every day! Makes you stop and think uh!? And I’m the same way with TOM for some reason any other time I can ignore the scale but TOM comes and I want to weigh in all the time... why is that! I can guarantee it will not be good news. <sigh> Great job with your goals on Wednesday! Keep it up.
Thursday check in:
1. 30DS – Day 3 done!
2. Get in 3 non 30DS workout's in – So I got turbo fire, and I did one of the workouts today. Lots of fun, but it is tough!
3. Bring lunch and snacks to work every day – brought my snacks but not my lunch. No food in the fridge.
4. No extra BLTS (bites, licks, tastes, sips) –Ok day today. I think my enemy is a little jar of M&M’s in a coworkers cube… They call to me (really they do, I can hear them!) and I walk by her desk often, I need to just walk past and pay no attention to the M&M’s.
Have a great night everyone. Keep up all the hard work, it’s almost the weekend. YAY!!0 -
Hi guys! Weigh in today ... Up half a pound. Need to really think about what I'm eating. I know I've eaten things that I didn't log. More BLTS then I care to think of. Time to get back to logging everything. Hope everyone's doing great today!!0

So exercise has been non-existent this week. :sad:
Calories / Water
Sunday +559/ 6c
Monday -426/9c
Tuesday -1310/10c
Wednesday -448/8c
Thursday -284/7c
So I really have not achieve any of my goals this week.
Weekend are my worst so doubt I will get in the exercise. We will see. D@$n you TOM.0 -
Ladygloria: weekend's here. I hope you can enjoy it with your family!
lttee: burn intervals are super tough, so well done!
philosohoe: thanks for your kind words :blushing: Have fun!
MAK: pay no attention to the stinky scale. You're working hard, and it will pay off.
KrisPage: the good news is that a new day/week is just around the corner and we can always try again!
Super late thursday check-in:
1- rest day from Chalean
2- I ate only 4 out of 5 veggies. Combination of poor planning + one of those crazy days when I feel I could eat everything in sight...
3- I had a glass of water before every meal. I haven't experience less hunger as a result, I think I need to drink it farther from the meal, not right before.
Friday check-in:
1- Chalean is done for today. I'm having a little issue on my left buttock! I get little shocks that go down my leg...I hope it doesn't last, it's not fun!
2- got back on track with veggies, so done.
3-had water before meals.0 -
Week was good so far. I will weigh myself tomorrow. I am planning on changing my official weigh ins to Fridays again. Weekends are too hard. I dont think I have lost any weight. TOM finally started today, after a whole miserable week of crazy symptoms. For a second I actually thought I might be pregnant.
So far this week:
1) Breakfst 6/7
2) water 64oz 4/7 (not too bad but not that great, I forgot to take my big cup 2 days and it made a difference)
3) Workout 2/3 (I still have tomorrow to do my third day)0 -
la_nanita: glad TOM finally started so that you can start seeing some loss and getting away from the symptoms. It seems like you're accomplishing a lot of your goals.
Papillon: thanks for supporting us all, how kind! And I personally think eating 4 servings is amazing. It's something I'm struggling with.
Kris: I'm sorry you haven't gotten in the excercise you want. You've been doing well at this and I can see you getting right back into it though.
MAK: I'm so sorry you're up half a pound. I definitely know how frustrating that is recently. You're amazing active and I'm sure once you conquer the BLTS, you'll be good to go!
My check in:
Exercise 7 times, two chalean, abs three: went swimming, finished half of chalean burn interval. Moving along quite nicely on this goal
Calories = protein outnumbers fat: check in such a wonderful way, not even close comparison
3 fruits/veggies: 3.5!! Again :happy:
For myself, I've hopped on this TOM train, started early and dang it, had no idea the power of an internet group.0 -
1. Get back to 10 glasses of water per day!
2. Research Saturday---different exercise programs that won't hurt my knee!
3. Find all of my next size down clothes, replace buttons and Smile Smile Smile!!!!0 -
Hi Bestest Group Ever! I'm back from family trip time. Headed to the wedding in a couple of hours, so I figured I'd pop in and say hello, catch up on all the happenings since I've been gone, and do a quick recap for Thurs/Friday:
1) Exercise 5/7 days--yes for both days! 4/7
2) 10-12 cups of water everyday: nope 9cups Thurs/8cups Fri Darn it! still 2/7 Didn't realize this was going to be such a tough one for me.:grumble:
3) Try to keep Sodium & Logged Potassium as close as possible and Sodium under 2000 5/7 days: nope. I did plan for 2 free from counting days, but I actually didn't do too badly on Thursday: 2090. Friday, however, was a little not great with 2750. Still, not as bad as it could have been. 3/7 for the week so far. I'm not hopeful about today's number.
4) DO NOT WEIGH IN ON ANY DAY OTHER THAN MONDAY: check and check! Despite an inordinate amount of TOM driven insanity/tempation, I did NOT weigh in on Thursday before I left town. I have a little nagging in my brain that I should weigh in a "little bit" just to see if I'm on track, but I'M NOT LISTENING!! I PROMISE, AVOW, AND AFFIRM THAT I WILL NOT WEIGH IN TODAY OR TOMORROW!!.
MAK--I just had to LOL when you talked about the M&M's calling to you from your neighbor's desk! I just pictured you walking by her desk with your fingers in your ears mumbling, "La La La I can't here you!" and her thinking that you're just a little crazed. :laugh: :laugh: Cracked me up! I feel you though. In the afternoon, I sit at a desk where the morning teacher keeps a bowl of candy for her kids. After the first day of having the Twizzlers taunt me, I put the bowl in a drawer the second day. I try to remember to pull it out, so the other teacher doesn't think I ate them all. (I don't even LIKE Twizzlers, and yet, when they're right in front of me, I somehow make myself believe that they'll be better this time. They never are, but I still fall for it.)
Amy911--Welcome to the group! You'll find lots of support here. You've already made amazing progress! Great goals, and great to have you with us!:flowerforyou:
I'll probably do today's recap tomorrow, just in case we stay late at the reception. Have a great rest of Saturday everyone!!0 -
Sorry ladies, I’ve just been super tired lately. I think I’m a few days behind my daughter on a cold. Trying to keep it away with the diet and exercise kick.
Checking in for the last time this week (will start new thread tomorrow):
1. Chalean X schedule completely as is, except I will be switching in burn intervals in favor of zumba if I can make it. Otherwise, going to do the schedule as such and then add in one day of extra cardio in some form.-made up for last night’s missing due to car issues (power steering went out), by getting it in today. I did Push 3 and every weight I did was at least 15 lbs. I was super impressed with myself. Who knows, maybe I’ll get muscle afterall.
2. Try to find some me time in every day. With my longer hours, I no longer feel like I have time to do what I want. Maybe I should take half of my lunch hour and do something stress relieving.-this has been the hardest goal EVER. I did not do this yesterday or yet today aside from goofing off on my ipad earlier. Going to keep this goal for next week as I obviously need to find a way to work on this.
3. Do something fun next weekend with my husband and child. We've spent too many weekends away from the house running errands or doing things for others. Now it's time for fun!- Planned to go to a festival, but it has been raining all day. Hoping it dries out after dinner so we can walk around and have fun together. If not, will find an option B for the entire family. We will NOT send home this entire weekend or only do chores.
Now, onto you guys:
Lttee, thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words, both here and on my profile. You are a great motivator. I think if you push yourself, you’d be surprised how easy it becomes to stick to a schedule. I do the three weight lifting phases every M/W/F and then do cardio and rest on other days. Sticking to the weights on those days gives me the break I need, but also the knowledge that all I have to do is my 35 minutes of strength and then if I want to add more, that is completely up to me. Chalean is easy because everything she has put together is so short. You know? Remember, the burn, push, and lean circuits are designed for a day of rest in between so if you want to do a video without weights, I’d highly recommend the other two as they are more cardio based and also give your muscles a bit of rest. I need to add ab burner back into my schedule. With Zumba on the scheduled cardio days, I frequently fail to do it. Maybe I should add that to M/F circuit days. Oh, and never fail to do the Recharge. It’s glorious.
Philosohoe, it gets easier. Keep trying. I have a bad neck (it has no curve in it for which I am still under doctor care), so I take it easier on shoulder exercises or anything that might put too much strain on that area of the body; but still push myself to muscle failure as much as possible. Taking it slow and maintain good form is more important than doing it fast or lifting so heavy you can’t control your body. Chalene says repeatedly that she’d rather you go slower than them and get it right then to have bad form. Record what you’re doing (weight/band resistance levels, etc) so that as you keep repeating it, you will be able to do it closer to their speed and not take as much time to transition. Before you know it, it’ll be time for you to move out of Burn and you’ll be increasing weights and resistance in no time! I hope you enjoyed your trip this week!
Mak, way to keep up with Jillian! I hear it does get easier. Of course, that’s also when you move to the next level. I’m not worried though, you kicked Tony’s butt so no doubt you’ll pass Jillian with flying colors. Turbo fire is amazing and intense and almost as fun as Zumba. I have it, but I’m not ready for a full video yet. I have thought of doing the HIIT 15 after my circuit burn days for a full blast of exhaustion (especially since like strength, they require “rest” days in between. Once I get through with my 90 days with Chalean Extreme, I’m going full tilt with the full turbofire schedule. I can’t wait.
Kris, I’m with you on the TOM cursing. Our bodies are so annoying at that time. Keep fighting the good fight, you will meet those goals! I have no doubt.
Papillion, thanks, I plan to try. I hope your left glut is working better for you. I know with all of the squats that we do in that program, any stress in that area can become pronounced. Maybe you can do an extra round of stretching?
La_nanita, great job on your goals this week! Take every success you can. Well, I’m not sure if you’re happy or sad about the possibility of pregnancy, but I definitely understand the crazy symptoms. I was experiencing crazy TOM symptoms for three weeks.
Amy911Gray, great goals! Welcome to the group!0 -
Saturday check-in:
1- No exercise today. I really needed to take both a physical and mental break, I felt exhausted. So, I'm getting back on track tomorrow. Glut's doing better, but today my shoulders and back were sore from yesterday's lean circuit.
2- Five fruits/veggies done!
3- Completely forgot about the water before every meal...I've been feeling so off...
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!0 -
Hey all! Quick check on before we see a movie. Miserable day for me today. Didn't work out at all. Ate out all 3 meals. Not the best choices. I need to not dwell on today that part of today is over ... Behind me... I'm not thinking about it any more!! Tomorrow is a new day, a new week, new goals to work on.
You guys are the best. Sending HUGGS to you all!!! Keep working on those mini goals. Together we can do this and you all are doing wonderful. Keep it up!!0 -
Not the best week for food, some days were just plain sad!:blushing: :sad:
Workouts M-F I feel good about this!
Water - did well
Bedtime - still not a set time but making progress!
Tomorrow starts a brand new Mini Goal Week and I'll be working on my logging/healthy foods in particular.
Hope you've all hung in there as best you could even if it's been a bit rocky at times, we've got a brand new week ahead!
:flowerforyou:
Here's to the New Week My Friends!:drinker: :smooched:0 -
My check in:
Exercise 7 times, two chalean, abs three: went swimming, and completed chalean burn 2, and did abs, so met all three today!
Calories = protein outnumbers fat: went over my calories, I blame TOM, and stress, and the freaking donut again
3 fruits/veggies: 2 servings today :grumble:
HeartsDesire: glad you're making progress on your bedtime
MAK: great attitude!
Papillon: hope you enjoyed your break and it was everything you needed it to be
Ladygloria: can't wait to do recharge then and experience the glorious-ness of it. Hopefully tomorrow. I am loving the videos thus far, and I did the ab burner portion three times this week. Hope the night dried out enough for family fun time.0 -
So to finish the week :So exercise has been non-existent this week. :sad:
Calories / Water
Sunday +559/ 6c
Monday -426/9c
Tuesday -1310/10c
Wednesday -448/8c
Thursday -284/7c
So I really have not achieve any of my goals this week.
Weekend are my worst so doubt I will get in the exercise. We will see. D@$n you TOM.
Friday -429/13c
Saturday -1095/11c
Yesterday was a crazy day weworked outside rebuilding a shed and I had 2 hrs of moderate activity and I took over 15,000 steps. Lots of lifting and hammering and heavy work.0 -
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been commenting to much this weekend, it has been a little crazy, but know I'm rooting for each and everyone of you and you all are doing amazing. I've been reading all your posts and you guys are working so hard at your mini goals. This week was a bit of an off week for me, and it's turned into an off weekend. I am determined to make this upcomming week better then this past week. Keep up all the hard work and I will see you all on the new thread :happy:0 -
Yesterday was horrible. I at least got my exercise out of the way nice and early, but went to a birthday party and consumed way too much pizza and beer.
This week's total:
1) Work out 3xs: 3/3
2) Drink 64oz of water per dady: 5/7
3) Eat breakfast everyday: 7/7
I have been thinking about this non loss thing and it is really pissing me off. I need to start losing again or I am not going to make my Jan goal date, not only that but it will hinder my plans of getting a tummy tuck by April.
So I am going to take a page out of Mak's book for my new goals.
1) Do P90X everyday before work. This means getting up at 5am! :sad:
2) Do 3 non P90X work outs
3) Drink 80oz of water per day
4) Eat a healthy breakfast every day0 -
Happy Sunday!
I just wanted to say that this is a very motivated and inspiring group! Thanks for the warm welcome!
lttee-the baby in my profile pic is my now 2 year old grandson. That's probably the only picture that I have sort of liked of myself, even though it's not current.
1. Exercise 4/4
2. Water 5/7
3. Vitamins 5/7
Cheers,
Sharon0 -
Hello everyone! Saturday night/Sunday morning recap:
1) Exercise 5/7 days: Yes! 5/7 for the week achieved! Sunday swim is a bonus!:happy:
2) 10-12 cups of water everyday: check 3/7
3) Try to keep Sodium & Logged Potassium as close as possible and Sodium under 2000 5/7 days: nope. 3/7 for this goal so far. Saturday's sodium was 2535. Slightly better than Friday, but still more than I'm comfortable with. I think my sodium is going to tank my weigh in for tomorrow. We'll see...:grumble:
4) DO NOT WEIGH IN ON ANY DAY OTHER THAN MONDAY:Check! 7/7 for the week. I did not weigh in this morning or yesterday, so I'm good on this one. I think I might try next week without this goal and see if I can still stick to once a week weigh in. If I start slipping, I'll bring it back.
Seems like this was a very tough week for a lot of us. Fortunately, the week is over, and now we have the opportunity to start fresh and re-energize for the new week. See you on the new thread! Great job hanging in there everyone!!:drinker:0 -
Has anyone posted a link to the new thread that I missed or should I go search for it? You guys are very impotant for my weight loss sanity!:bigsmile:0

Just signed up today.
Goals:
1. Exercise 4 times this week
2. Drink all my water each day.
3. Find a friend on the boards.0 -
