    Morning Everyone,

    I guess I'll start us off this week. I did 4 pounds! I'm pretty stinking excited about that. 2 more pounds and I've done 2 stone.

    Hope everyone has a really good week.

    Good Morning Ladies (I don't think we've had any men join),

    Hope we're all ready for the weigh in tomorrow. Here's next weeks challenge

    1. Lets try to burn 2000 calories this week!
    2. do 50 pushups everyday( can do them on your knees, against a wall, or countertop...whatever works for you
    3.drink 10-12 glasses of water each day

    Oh man pushups are going to be a hard one for me..


    Good luck.

    Stormie

    Ugh! Push ups... almost as hard for me as crunches! LOL! I guess that means that is why I need to do them :) Good challenge! :)

    I lost 2 pounds this week! :) I have 18 left to go to make it to my goal weight. I don't think I will make it there by Christmas, but if I stay on track I should be well on my way. :)

    For Friday I weighed in at 164.5! I've finally lost a pound!! I haven't actually started on the pushup challenge yet :( I've done exercise every day and have been drinking water, but not 10-12 glasses. I need to step it up! Pushups begin today!

    Hi Guys!!! I'm back:) Had an awesome vacation, but I weighed myself this morning on my own scales, and I weighed 176lbs!!! I was 170.8 on my mothers scale( but I think it must be 4lbs lighter than mine). So I guess I start again at 176 :( Time to get back at it and see how close I can come to my goal for christmas. Will post the challenge tomorrow.
    Looks like everyone is still doing great!!! Keep up the good work girls...hopefully you guys can motivate me & get me back on track!!!

    Welcome back, prairienewf! It's nice to see you! I'm glad your vacation was great. Back home and back to work.....you can do this!

    I'm guessing some of that weight will melt off within days. You can do this!

    Welcome back! I just have to say it - 6 more weeks till Christmas! We still have plenty of time to drop some pounds before then! :) My new goal between now and Christmas is to lose another 10 pounds. My first goal was a little unreasonable, so I am making a more realistic one. We can do this girls!!!! :)

    Ok..here is this weeks challenge:

    aim for 14 miles this week..walk/run/bike/whatever you like
    do 50 bicycle crunches everyday (or as many as you can)
    try 1 day this week meat free (but remember to get your protien in)
    *let's do our measurements tomorrow as well, bust,thigh, waist & hips*

    I'm running out of ideas for the challenges, toss some ideas my way:) I think I need to adjust my goal for xmas as well tami...I'm going to shoot for 160lbs, thats 16 lbs...I just need to get my head back into this! Soooo hard to get out of vacation mode

    Thanks again stormiel for keeping up the challenges!!:flowerforyou:

    I better get walking then :) No weight loss for me this week but I started 30 Day Shred last week so I'm not going to feel bad about it.

    Hope you guys all had a good week.

    136...no change from last week. I need a scale that reads tenths of a pound just so I can see a change, lol.

    well....here I am, back at 176lbs (didn't want to see that # again!!!) 3 miles in today, but I've been terrible with my eating and water intake. so hard to get back on track! At this rate I'll be back at 200 for xmas instead of at 160!!! I'm gonna step it up this week and see what I can do!! Good Luck girls!!

    Forgot to check in 1lb lost...I am at 160.4...was hoping for 2lbs like last week but I am still losing so can't complain..

    2 miles in today, 50 bicycle crunches...gotta say, they're not my favorite!!! I haven't been logging my exercise because when I see that I've earned extra cals it makes me want to overindulge. I'm just going to try to stick to the 1200 for this week and see what happens!

    128.6 (again!) I keep playing with the same pound...going over a month now! Just gonna keep on going!!

    I have been told I shouldn't be eating my exercise calories... I am going to try just eating half of them because 1200 is hard for me to stick to. Thoughts?

    I still haven't figured that out yet...I guess everybody is different. I feel like when I eat back exercise cals, that I've just ruined what I worked soo hard to burn off. but in saying that, what I'm doing isn't really working for me anymore. I've been considering trying the zig-zagging.
    If you need to eat back some of your exercise cals, I think 1/2 should be fine...wouldn't hurt to try it for a few weeks and see what happens.
