Thank you!
No worries about last week. I was a little relieved as I've been slacking. But promise to do better from tomorrow, today was a complete mess too. but that is what happens when you have visitors....
Happy challenge-ing everyone0 -
Hi, I see this is a closed group and I apologize for intruding, but would it be possible for me to join you guys? I think this is an awesome strategy and I have been looking for someone to workout with for months now. I have a hard time motivating myself and just had to discontinue my services with my trainer due to financial obstacles . I hate to beg...but PLEASE!!0
-
This was a great week, I didn't get in a lot of exercise in, but I did get a lot of work done. I have learned to control what I put in my mouth & I have sucessfully lost another pound. I would like to check in this week at 162 lbs. Enjoy your week & keep up the good work.0

BigChid, Awesome loss lady! You rock:drinker:
ta, I seriously think the diet part of losing weight is most key. If you can choose the right foods and keep your portion sizes accurate it seams like pounds just melt away. It's amazing when you actually start measuing your food and realize you are eating 3 or 4 servings in one sitting... Its no wonder we gain:ohwell:
I'm down .6lbs this week. I'm having issues with our Monday weigh-in because my will power sucks during the weekend. I also have weigh-ins on Wednesday and Friday for other challenges too and my losses always seem to be greater on those days. I'll get it worked out though... As longs as the scale doesn't go up too much over the weekend I'lll be okay0 -
I'm down a 4 pounds from last week(now at 221).
Thanks april and I totally feel you on the monday weigh in. I weigh myself on wed and fri for accountability reasons and then when it comes to the weekend its like i lose control or something. I just need to be better about the fact that the weekend is a break from school and not from my eating habits LOL
Best of luck this week!0 -
I totally fell off the wagon last week I'm back on this week. Adjusted my plan a bit and revamped my goals to balance my lifestyle and long term goals a little more realistically. Have a great week everyone!! One day at a time!0
-
Last week was pretty good exercise and food wise, but once I get to the weekend I seem to blow it. This weekend I'm going to try to plan all of my meals like I do during the week and hope that helps.
I just did workout one of Insanity(day 2 of 60) and I'm so excited to see some results!!0 -
How is everybody's week going. Mine is lretty good but it could be better if I actually exercised.0
-
Not doing so good on the exercise either. I ran yesterday but i've just felt super blah and tired lately. I'm almost starting to wonder if i'm having vitamin C withdrawls. We had tons of sun so for long and I was out in it all the time then bam! No sun at all... Makes me really sad.0
-
I didn't realize the group was still going! I haven't been doing the best for about a week. We stayed in SLC for a few days and had to eat out. But I"ve been trying to watch my portions.0
-
Today I did a 4 mile run, 200 lunges, 60 pushups, 200 body weight squat and ab exercises. All I can say tomorrow I'm gonna be sore.0
-
oh dear, i've been rubbish this week! too much food, next to no exercise...
but i'm going to do some cycling today and tomorrow and will try and get some jillian work out in the mornings done next week. I'm struggling with eating at uni and finding time to exercise with all the work i have to do and it being dark when i get home aahhhrrrggg.
also I am just below the weight that I had a year ago and my jeans are fitting nicely again, which is a great success, but it means I'm a little complacent and am not taking this serious enough at the moment even though I still want to lose another 8lbs.
can everyone please post how well they are doing, it will motivate me! (busymom: i'm definitely on the lunges and squats today!)
have a great weekend everyone0 -
Hey Ladies,
The flu has got me down since Thursday (And I was soooo tired leading up to it)...Haven't exercised much this week and haven't been tracking my calories which consist mostly of popsicles and toast :-/
Hope everyone is doing great
E xo0 -
This week was good exercise wise( I started insanity and went to the gym 3 times for 45min-hr long cardio sessions) my eating was better but not great. I stayed below or just a hair above my calorie limit but its ok.
We shall see what tomorrow's weigh in brings considering I just downed a 5hr energy and have to write a paper and misc other grad school related thing tonight >_<0 -
How was insanity??? I want to try this workout it seems very challenging but better with a group. Good luck………….. today is my first day back.0
-
Any spaces available for new comers....0
-
i'm so stoked! I've finally broke the 220 barrier!!! I weighed in at 219.2 this week.
I only completed the first challenge in addition to my workouts this week. There are plenty of burpees in insanity so I didnt want to over exert myself and do more lol I also didnt run because of my knees but I biked over 12 miles 3 days during the week and ellipticalled 2.5-3.5 miles as well
Best of luck this week to everyone! We are at the half way point but remember: "just keep swimming"
Carterl unfortunately this is a closed group but insanity is a GREAT workout! It is really challenging but I modify some of the exercises because of my knees.0 -
We are starting week 5 today and October is almost over. I hope everyone has lost at least some weight. I am moving along at a good pace. I do not get the exercise challenges done, but I have climbed a lot of stairs, chased grandkids & worked in the garden for an hour this week. I currently weight 160 lbs, so I guess I lost 2 lbs this week. Keep up the good work, you are the only one that can get the job done. And remember the reward is fitting into those smaller jeans & tops.0
-
My goodness it got super quiet around here. How is everyone doing? There isn't a new thread that I don't know about is there?0
-
I have been wondering the same thing! No new thread but we got to keep working towards our goal. Maybe there will be some posts tomorrow since its our weigh in day =/0
-
Hmm... I hope so. Wonder how Reese is doing with her internet issue.0
-
Week 6, I weigh 159 lbs. so I lost one pound this week. Have a nice week. I think this link is done. I be talking to myself.0
-
Hey ta, Me and BigChid are still here. Is anyone else still in? I can put together a chart if you want to send me your weight. Has anyone heard from Reese at all? We can take turns posting exercise rountines for the week also that way we get a variety of workouts. If we still have a group here and no one objects I will step up and take lead until Reese gets back. I personally need all the motivation I can get. Is anyone still in?
I lost .4lbs this week. Almost half a pound... not great but I'll take it. As long as the scale keeps moving down I am happy.0 -
So I just clicked on Reese's name to send her an e-mail and her account has been deactivated. What's everyones thoughts, should we say goodbye or do you want to continue? I can't offer T-shirts or Magazine Subscriptions but I can offer support and motivation. Let me know.0
-
sorry its midterms week. I lost 0.4 pounds this week. Not great but not bad given how i ate this past weekend. I would like the few of us that are still on to keep going for support and motivation. We dont need a tshirt or prize just the fact that some one is there to support motivate and keep me accountable is all i need.0
-
Same here if you want to set up a chart. I will get you the information. I enjoy checking in on everyone, so if you are willing to keep it going I will be happy to continue with this group. Thanks for all your efforts they are really appreiciated.0
-
Looks like it might just be the 3 of us but if anyone else is here please speak up. I will make us a chart but I need to know if you guys want to start over with Monday's weight being our starting weights or if you want to pick a new weigh-in date. Since Reese missed a couple of weeks we don't have an updated chart to continue from. What's your thoughts ladies?0
-
If we start over would our goal be till the end of the year or still till dec 5?0
-
Whichever is fine with me. I guess i do have our starting weights so I do know how much we all have lost since the beginning. We could just finish this one and start a whole new challenge after the 5th and get more people involved. Thoughts?0
