    Just checking in..

    Julie
    SW: 226
    CW: 224 (2lbs)

    I'm happy that I exceeded my number of days exercising! Only planned to exercise 4 days last week and did 5. I'm going to take a break on it today because work kicked my butt. Lol I didn't get veggies in for breakfast, but did for lunch and dinner. Congrats on everyone's weight loss this week, great job! :flowerforyou:

    Julie how did you do on on the mileage/water challenges???

    I didn't join until the end of the week last week so no real check in. Weigh in today: 173.8

    NSV: I bought new pants (size 10- a size smaller than I've been wearing) and they not only fit and looked good but they were comfortable too!! YAY!
    1 IL: I love that I'm starting to see definition in my arms- muscles are hot!!

    As for why I finally committed to losing weight- I was visiting my sister-in-law on vacation this summer and she invited me to go to the gym with her. I knew I had gotten chunky so I decided to weigh myself after our workout. When the scale said 192 (I'm 5'2"!!) I almost cried. That is the heaviest I have EVER been when I wasn't pregnant. As a matter of fact that's almost the weight I was when I delivered both of my daughters. Then I saw a picture of myself and my husband (taken the next day) and just decided I didn't want to be that person anymore. I don't want to hide from cameras (from the whole 2-week trip and over 400 pictures taken there are only 3 with me in them). I want to be comfortable in my own body and I want to be healthy as an example for my little girls. I have a big frame; I'll never be super model skinny. I've accepted that and it doesn't bother me (most of the time). I just want to be strong and healthy. I don't want to be "skinny fat" but I really don't want to be fat anymore. What does that show my girls? They are beautiful, intelligent, loving, and happy girls, but I've noticed that my 9 year-old doesn't want to get undressed in dressing rooms at the store because she said that her belly is too fat. All I can think is- my God, did I do that?

    Great job ladies!!!

    Remember, even if it's not a huge loss, every little bit counts. This is a long-term (7 month) challenge, so there will be good weeks, and maybe not so good weeks. That's what we are all here for....support!

    I will be posting the spreadsheet from last week tomorrow. A weekly winner will be announced. Monthly winners will receive special recognition.

    It will be harder to win points for weight loss (1 point for every 5 pounds - cumulative - lost), so make sure you are doing the week's challenges! It's the easiest way to win and rack up points for monthly totals.

    I'm doing well after day one of week 2. Had veggies at every meal last night, and burned 325 calories. Well on my way :-)

    So far i am doing well on this week's challenge, except I can't seem to get veggies at breakfast - lunch and dinner, i have salads with whatever I am eating but I can't seem to get it into breakfast. Any suggestions?

    I am going to make a spinach and feta cheese fritata tonight, so I can have that tomorrow.

    Weigh In - Sorry missed yesterday's didn't work and with Halloween

    Starting Weigh: 305
    Weigh in: 301 - Lost 4 lbs.

    NSV is I was able to pull my pants up without jumping into them today :flowerforyou:

    Final motivator for me was so sick of being stuck in this body. My knees and back are starting to hurt and I find myself not being able to keep up with my kids.

    Honestly, I don't love anything about my body.... in time I will get there.

    I think the best way to add veggies to breakfast is by doing a scramble or an omelet with green and yellow peppers, and maybe onions, too.

    Sorry I forgot to post yesterday! I was in LaLa Land.

    CW: 155

    Didn't lose, but I didn't gain! Ate a lot this weekend, so I'm happy.

    I did my 10 miles last week and drank all my water!

    NSV: I was able to wear my Halloween costume with ease. I wasn't all covered up like I usually am.

    I'm so sorry, I've been sick with a cold and trying to do a report for school so I forgot to check this board.

    I apologize.

    I forced myself to do 3 miles today.

    I feel that I am doing well this week. I did not have any candy for Halloween. This was hard for me but I am proud of myself.

    I have been able to eat veggies for every meal. My most difficult meal to add veggies into is breakfast. I think I am going to cut up veggies so I can have them ready in my fridge. Breakfast is a crazy time around my house!

    So far, not counting today, my calorie burn for the week is 395.
