AWESOME POSSUM'S WEEK 4.........(CLOSED GROUP)

Just checking in... I did Monday and Tuesday's exercises this morning. Maybe I'll get caught up with todays a little later. My water intake has been great so far this week and havn't ate past 8pm yet.... Feeling pretty good. How is everyone else?

Hey everyone,

Well...I started off the week great and now...Not so much.

October wrecked havoc on my health (was very sick) which has meant almost no workouts and almost no tracking.

I weighed myself this morning and gained...5 pounds...Yikes!

Tomorrow is another day...And hopefully I ca get back on track and put all this funk behind me!

Have a great week everyone,

E xo

BigChid where are ya?

Alright ladies... We are headed into a nasty storm! Thanksgiving is next week... It might be time to start planning some healthy dishes for our day of grub. Anyone have a recipe you'd like to share. Maybe together we can come up with some dishes that might be a little more forgiving than the traditional Stuffing and Mashed Potatoes that go along with that delicious Turkey dinner.

ta, great work on your weight loss this week. A cookie here or there is no biggy... you have to allow yourself a treat now and then. Would you mind coming up with this weeks exercise challenge? It doesn't have to be anything crazy just post your favorite exercises and we will do them along with you!

Twin, I'm sorry you have been so sick. It is really hard to eat healthy and track your food when you aren't feeling well. Maybe while we are thinking up recipes for Thanksgiving we could also come up with or share some "Comfort" food recipes. It's the season for the ickies and I'm sure we all will appreciate a good soothing meal at one point or another in the next few months.

I had an alright week. I did good in the beginning but like usual the weekend killed me. I didn't eat too late at night but I didn't drink enough water. Gonna have to try a little harder. I did have an awesome walk with my little boys and our dog on Sunday morning though. Gotta love the cool air and bright colored crisp leaves that autumn brings.

Alright ladies good luck this week and ta please post some workout ideas or let me know asap if you'd rather not and I'll do it. Thank You:bigsmile:

Wow, I do not ever exercise. I used to walk 2 to 4 miles every evening a few year ago. Recently I have walked a mile a day. So if you enjoy walking I suggest 20 to 30 minutes when ever it fits in your schedule. Once you get used to 2 miles the last 2 miles are easy. It takes me 1 hour and 20 minutes to walk 4 miles. it is so time consuming I have not done it in a while.

Still here!!

Tried Zumba today for the first time...And LOVED IT!!

So far my week has been good...Focusing on what my goals are and eating when I am hungry as opposed to tired, sad, lonely, angry or bored...

Hoping everyone else has a great week

E xo

P.S. We still have 6 weeks for those of us aiming for Dec 31...WE CAN DO THIS!

weighed in today at 221.6. Im so sick of my weight constantly fluctuating.
on the bright side I went shopping this weekend...I offically fit in size 12 jeans! Skinny jeans at that lol and now all my tops are either meds or larges!!!
Regardless of the scale I know that there is a change happening. Slow and steady wins in the long run and that is all that matters right now =]

Week 9

Alright ladies... Thanksgiving is tommorrow! Lets all just try to stay focused and get through this.

BigChid, way to go on your new clothing sizes. That is always so reassuring to go shopping and have to put back clothes that you picked out cause they were too big! Do you measure yourself regularly? Reese had us do that in the beginning... if you guys still have that recorded somewhere I would encourage you to look back at that and compare. I'm sure you guess would be extremely impressed!

TA, looks like your at a Plateau... no worries, you'll get through it. Just try changing up a few things. I've heard zigzaging your calories help.

Hey BigChid, what have you been doing or exercise? Will you post challenges for this week please?

No worries lady! Just pick up where you left off. I'm sure all of us had a bit of a struggle this week... I know I did. It happens:flowerforyou:

I dont know how but i weighed in today at 213.4!!! I stepped on and off the scale 5 times but it kept telling me that was how much i weighed. Lets see what happens these next few weeks with finals coming around and me being super stressed I gonna make it an effort to eat healthy and sensibly

Thanks so much April! I'm not really sure how I lost that much esp during thanksgiving...im still a little skeptical

Here is a link to what a BW squat is http://www.oprah.com/health/The-No-Equipment-Workout-You-Can-Do-at-Home/2

You dont have to go down nearly as far(just go to parallel) and you can put your hands on your hip

Best of luck this week!!!!

BTWS Great job April on loosing this week too!!!! Now we know we can lose during a holiday we will make it through christmas and new years with ease =]
