    Week of Feb. 24th .....

    My personal goal of the week ..... BUNS!!

    I vow to do 30 squats and 30 lunges each leg DAILY!!!!!
    Last week I did crunches ..... I am still going to do my crunches and add the buns stuff to it!!

    Here we go ..... my weigh in is Tuesday .... I'm not feeling too good about it right now. This weekend was not as good as what I'd hoped it would be. :grumble:

    MOTIVATION!!! Here we go!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!! :smile: :wink: :happy: :tongue:
  • First week weigh in, 198 lbs, previous 200 lbs, did get the unexpected two lb weight loss. Happy about the 2 lbs after a Friday night out. I guess Saturday and Sunday of healthy eating offset the Friday night out. Good luck to all in the challenge and hope all reach their goal.

    Story: Memorial day starts horse show season for us, tight jeans and tight shirts for western showmanship and western pleasure classes. None of what I have fits and let's just say the outfits are $$$:grumble: Would like to use some of my nice outfits from last year (pre 4th baby).

    New Idea for post: Need the most help with: For me... maintaining exercise habits. Anyone have any help for how to get the motivation to get up an hour earlier each morning to exercise after being up several times a night with a newborn???

    I'm so encouraged by everyone else out there making great goals...:happy: Best wishes...looking forward to the updates.

  • At average 1 pound a day , bouncing back up then back down.. yoyo'ing
    not counting the rest of this month, but starting at March 1 I think there is about 87 days to Memorial day. So I need about 36 pounds to reach my goal..

    It seems so possible, yet it does not.
  • Just joing the challenge this week:


    Current weight: 150.5
    Goal weight: 135
    Goal weight loss a week: 1.5 lbs
    Pounds lost this week: 1.5
    pounds lost total: 2.5
    :tongue:
  • I'm in!
    I only started MFP on Saturday, so I have a few more days until my first weigh-in. But, my starting weight on Saturday was 172 - here's hoping for a few pounds less on Saturday!
    And I would love to get to the gym more often, but my work and kids.... you know. So, here's my alternate plan: cardio 5 times a week, gym 2 days a week for weights. I can do the cardio at home and some strength training at home as well ( I hate push-ups and sit-ups! But they work!)
    Good luck everyone!

    My Thursday Weigh-In:

    Last Weeks Weight: 207
    Current weight: 205
    Goal weight: 180 (as of Memorial Day anyway)
    Goal weight loss per week: Hopefully 2 lbs a week
    Pounds lost this week: 2
    Pounds lost total: 4 for this challenge (65 total since September 4)


    I was only able to get to the gym once this week...but I did go out dancing Saturday night, which we all know is great cardio! :)

    Man, I am so close to being under 200!! When I started my new lifestyle back in September at 270 lbs, it seemed like an impossible goal and now here I am, not only nearing that goal but also feeling confident I can and WILL reach my ultimate goal of 135!
