Weigh in this AM-169.6 (from 167.6) Can't blame on zigzag, because I was at 170.2 on Monday...fluid retention from somthing, can't gain that much real weight from eating (of course, since I was in permanant dehydration and am now drinking water, may be fluid normality! lol)
Tara-I think that was my problem (focusing on GROSS cals, as opposed to net). I don't think it was that big of an issue when I was only exercising 3x week for lower calorie burns, but now I am doing 6 hours a week w/ 3000+ burns, so I think it caused my net to be too low. Will def keep you updated on how it is working! I added Kashi granola bars for my afternoon snack to help boost my protein a bit (6 g protein, 4g fiber, 130 calories and very nomalicious-dark mocha almond)
Laura-Hey, at least you recognize what happened and are willing to change it! Do you seem to always follow-up a great weight loss week w/ a poor eating week? I do! I don't know why, but it seems like I am always doing that...
Miriam-Thanks for the feedback-I tried to exercise light, but I still burned about 450 calories. BUT it did make my net be about 1800, which was below the high zig zag target of 1930, but a lot more than I would've normally eaten. Had to supplement w/ 3 snacks throughout the day (2 granola bars and digestives!) I agree that I am needing to shake up my metabolism to get this going again.
Tausha-Good idea for posting the basics. You are correct that I could've pushed myself more (i.e. focus more on water/sodium/protein goals, not just using my goals list as a 'try to' list, but as actual GOALS!) Thanks for the new goals (and taking the time to make the goals)--any news on pups?

I'm definitely in for the new challenge: I've gone back over my initial goals & if I don't lose any more weight, I really am good with that, as long as the tape measure shows me the difference :happy:
I'm sure I can burn at least 3000 calories this week
I have definitely made it a point to log all my food in the last week because I really want to see where my downfalls are
Water is no problem
I cannot believe it's only 4 weeks left to Thanxgiving! WOW! This year has flown but we've all made some killer accomplishments in the last few weeks - these challenges have given us a chance to see what/where/how we each work & see what we need to do to change and accomplish our goals. I think moving on with a New Years Challenge would give us greater success as we've now figured out a lot about ourselves & can definitely accomplish a lot more!
Tausha - I'm hoping you find your babies!
Angie - we'll be here when you need us!
Miriam - Baby steps starts it all - you've been doing amazing with your running club (and it sounds like you guys have awesome run-fun!); I see BIG changes in your future by the end of this month!
Kory - I like your zig-zag idea - I may be trying a variated version of it as we're suspecting I'm not eating enough to balance out my weight training - need to shock my body a little extra so will be working on that after halloween :happy:
Laura - great job on keeping the weight off! It means that your body knows & understands what you're doing & eating a little more or not the best once in a while is not going to affect you too much in the long run!
Looking forward to an AWESOME Challenge Week :happy:0 -
I am deffently in for another challenge ! I lost a pound this week to be checking in at 184.0 this week . Love the challenges for next week thanks for all your hard work Tausha !0

Renee-awesome work this week! As for RI30...I did 6/7 days (rest days Tues) for 4 weeks...so 24/28 days total!!! JM recommends 1-2 rest days on this program...good luck girl!
CONGRATS TO THOSE WITH LOSSES THIS WEEK!!!
Laura-no worries girl...that is still an avg of 1.5lbs/week, which is great!
Mariam-great job on your loss and your goals! 1 week of not meeting your cal burn is not the end of the world...glad you enjoyed your vacay time!
Tausha-AWESOME goals for the week!!
Angie-I'll keep you and youR family in my thoughts...seeya when you get back *HUGS*
Kory-make sure you give the added workouts, cals, and water a few weeks do catch up!! all of those things may make you retain!!! A few more high protein ideas: milk, Atkins Bars<<<<super yummy!!!!! and WW smoked string cheese!0 -
MY original weightloss goal for this challenge was 17.6lbs (16-20lb group) in 13weeks, to put me down to my goal weight. I have done a lot of research and have realized that with the amount of lean muscle mass that I have right now, I can not get down to my original goal weight/body fat % of 112lbs and 18%...so after a lot of thought and a few math equations, I have changed my goal weight to 119lbs at 18% body fat!! This still keeps me in the mid-low healthy weight range (and BMI), and keeps me at the "athletic" body fat% that I want! So...that means that I would still like to get to my new goal by Thanksgiving (now 10.6lbs total), which would be another 5.2lbs or 1.3lbs/week!!!

hey strangers!!! sounds like your all doing well!!
Yes, Tausha - this was a good reminder- I printed it out to bring home & re-evaluate myself. I believe i first wanted to be down to 145 by Turkey Day. Without beating myself up- i am pretty sure that i will not make that goal. I will now be happy if i can get down to 147 by then. I am happy with my slow & steady loss so far. I have made this workout routine a habit & really don't like the days i skip- so that makes me proud of my life change!!
today I thought i'd treat myself to "arby's" chicken sandwich & curly fries since i have been doing so good. I find amusing that i almost feel sick having now eaten that crap (and to think that THIS was such a routine for me). So it turns out, my "treat" to myself really isn't much of a "treat"- this fast food makes me tired & frumpy....
and to think that Arby's slogan is "GOOD MOOD FOOD"- i think NOT!!!

Wow...throw some chicken on some carb balance tortillas and cheese...that almost gets me to my daily protein goal! :smokin:0 -
Weight for today: 209.4 this week, so down .8lbs.
1. Re-Examine your original goals: Definitely not going to reach the 20+ weight loss. But I'm okay with that, I've lost 8lbs since starting this challenge, which is more than I can say for the whole summer!
Realistic for the next 4 weeks? I would say I could lose another 5lbs +/-. That would put me at a total of 13lbs. Ya know, I think I could push myself for 15.
2. Burn 3000 (three thousand) calories this week! Ugh...Okay...I will do this.
3. Log EVERYTHING EVERY DAY! Yeah...there's been a few days I haven't done this :-s
4. 60 Cups of water for the week. Not a problem!
5. Self check in on the TYPES of food you are eating. I actually do eat relatively well(most days).0 -
HOORAY! I got rid of last weeks 2 lb oops plus another 1. Weigh in 260. I am down 12 lbs now for the challenge. I will need to focus hard but I think my goal of 16-20 is attainable. I have added some gym time to my week. Does bowling count for strength training? :laugh: We had our first snow yesterday so that might get in the way of my goal of outside walking miles. I am keeping on with tracking my fruits and veggies and trying to get that water in.:drinker: I am off to a quilt retreat for the weekend. :bigsmile: Will try to log but it won't be easy. Good luck ladies with the coming week! You guys are working so hard! You are really an inspiration.:flowerforyou:0

Hey Butterball Babies! Here are the goals for the week!
BACK TO THE BASICS BOOTCAMP!
1. Re-Examine your original goals. We have 4 weigh ins left. Can you meet your original goal? Have you toned and strengthened? Have you really pushed yourself as hard as you can the past couple of weeks?
If not, what's the new goal? What's realistic for you to acheive the next 4 weeks?
It's not failure to look over our progress and make a new game plan! Come on girls!
2. Burn 3000 (three thousand) calories this week! Come on girls!! :0) I'm guilty of not pushing hard enough the past couple of weeks.
3. Log EVERYTHING EVERY DAY! (some of us have fallen off the wagon here.)
4. 60 Cups of water for the week.
5. Self check in on the TYPES of food you are eating. Remember, just being under calories doesn't really mean you are nurturing your body and promoting fat burning. Let's try to reduce the amounts of processed, sodium loaded foods. Let's up the fresh produce, whole grains, and fresh meats/proteins.
So, really goals 1 and 5 are just some self evaluations and the ones we need to keep up with to check in are numbers 2, 3, & 4.
Hope this encourages you and helps have some self thought time. We all probably KNOW where things are slacking. And we defintely KNOW where we are kicking butt! :0) You are amazing ladies. I'm excited to see the changes this week!
Love ya!
Tausha
1. Doing exercise every day (not just walking)
2. Burn 3000 (three thousand) calories this week! now that a big challenge.
3. I am 1 of the ones who has fallen off the wagon here.
4. 60 Cups of water for the week i think i can do this.
5. I will keep an eye on this.
Lw weight = 178.8lb (81.1kg) - 0.7lb
Tw weight = 177.9lb (80.7kg) - 0.9lb
Yay not much but as tom is here i'm happy.
I drunk 9 cup of water yesterday, but i gave in to some Victoria sponge @ work. I will not give in today.
My husband told me i had a phone call about a possible job & he will ring me back @ 9am today omg im nervous. I only have 26 minutes till the call.
I made a home made veg soup & i really enjoyed having it.0 -

BACK TO THE BASICS BOOTCAMP!
1. Re-Examine your original goals. My original goal was to lose 2-3lbs or maintain (im aiming for 118/119).
2. Burn 3000 (three thousand)
3. Log EVERYTHING EVERY DAY!
4. 60 Cups of water for the week.
5. Self check in on the TYPES of food you are eating.

First of all Tausha, OMG - I just read about your doggies - I am so heartbroken to hear that - I will keep thinking lots of positive thoughts for a safe return. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
Suzanne - way to burn up those calories!
Maria & Jojo girl - good luck and have fun practising!
Angie - nice that hubby is getting on board with you!
omg - to tausha re doggies
Anita - you can do this - we are here to help, hang in there and use exersize to kick stresses butt!
Kory, really looking forward to seeing how you like the zig zag method!
Laura, I think you're still doing great - keep up the good work!
Pat- great job on the weight loss! Way to go!!
Joanne, great job tracking and exersizing - I'm so proud of you!!
Purple butterfly Nat - you can do this, one day at a time, just work towards meeting those
daily goals!
Melinda, hang in there - this is your week - you can do it!
and finally Tara,
Tara - Thank you for making your little chart showing how many people lost however many pounds.
I have always thought I'm so bad at losing weight, but I'm starting to see that my struggles are
shared by everyone - and I can see that I'm doing my best. Having 5 weeks left to lose .2 of a lb is very
doable and I can't wait to see how much further than that I can get! (see below for more explaination)
Thanksgiving day goal:
I have to let everyone know though that I will be cheating because I am having a breast reduction surgery on November 10th - I'm so nervous, I can't wait to do it, but I'm such a suck when it comes to pain! I'm really proud of myself though because it was my goal to lose 10-15 lbs and I know I will at least hit that 10 lb (I'm already down 9.8 lbs) mark by my surgery day so I will know that I made my goal on my own!
Thursday - 654 of 3000 calories burned, logged all of my food and was under 334 calories, drank 7.5 glasses of 60 Cups of Water.

Back to 269 even.
I am definitely not going to make my original goal of losing 20 pounds. I've only lost 5.3. There are 4 weeks left. I really want to get out of the 260's so I'm going to aim for 259. 10 pounds. That may still be too much, but I know I can do it if I really work at it. I've got to increase my exercise for sure, and I have been letting myself slip too much in regards to food.
Goals for the week:
Log Every Day!
Burn 3000 Calories
Drink 60 Cups of Water
I'm not off to a great start, but I'm going to get busy right now!0 -

Jojo-awesome job on the loss...I have no doubt that you will reach your new T-day goal! As for the fast food...even when I do have a cheat day, I decide not to have fast food for it! I think that I have maybe had fast food a total of 4 times in the past 10 months!!!
Suzanne-awesome job on the loss this week!!! and great goals for the upcoming week...I also believe that you will make your T-day goal too, you have been doing great! CONGRATS on admitting to your nighttime snack...not a lot of people are brave enough to do that, and I give you props girl! :flowerforyou:

Whoo Hoo!!! Weighed in at 224.0 this week. I am down 2 more pounds!
Update on my fertility news. I am mostly recovered from my surgery now and will be starting fertility meds this weekend. We are going to be doing the FSH shots to stimulate ovulation followed by an HCG shot to release the eggs. We will then do IUI (artificial insemination) followed by 2 weeks of progesterone. Pray that this works!!! I am really hoping to be pregnant by Christmas but have learned over the last 2 1/2 years of "trying" that nothing happens as planned! I am still keeping my fingers crossed though!0 -
