still plan to stay focused on 1 to 1.5 pounds loss per week and NOT losing too fast and therefore losing muscle.
working on eating almost all my exercise calories. doing at least 45 min of cardio PLUS jillian's SHRED daily.
sleeping 8 hours, eating 4 to 6 veggie portions per day.

worked out 45 minutes every morning AND added nightly shred video...AND did a 10k race on Saturday
BUT this was my highest calorie week since i started MFP and i was over goal like half of the week so i am grateful for losing at all.
this coming week the goal is 1.5 or more pounds down
lets stay totally focused EVERYONE!
nonscale victory: ran the 10K... cut about 30 seconds off of my average pace AND was ahead of my super fit size 4 gal-pal at the end!0 -
Sorry, I forgot to post this on Sunday (11/27). From Sunday (11/21) to Sunday (11/27) I lost a total of 4 pounds. I'm hoping this will be a good week for me. I want to get out of the 260's and get in to the 250's! I've been stuck in the 260's all year (because I kind of gave up during the summer... LOL). But I have been trying so hard! I even started doing the treadmill at work for 30 mins a few times a week (my lunchbreak is an hour), plus my workouts at home. Congrats to everybody doing their thing and making progress!0

I'm baaaaaaack! Alright- I got 10 lbs left to go- don't stop till I get it!0

Weigh in: 204.2
2.6lbs down this week, 18.8 in total, just 1.2lbs to go!!!! Eeek, I'm so excited!! Unless I break my leg tomorrow and have to spend the next three weeks in bed, I think I can do this no problem :bigsmile:
I've had a horrible cold this week (as any of you who are friends with me are no doubt bored of hearing about by now!!) So thats probably helped, I over indulged the first day with biscuits and chocolate, but then I lost my taste so haven't eaten any exciting stuff this week! Quite handy since I haven't been able to exercise either, but I've still been walking to school and going to work etc so I've kept moving.
Hope everyone else has a great weigh in this week :happy:0 -
down to 162.8, down about 1lb from last week.
have a great sunday everyone!!0 -
165.2 today, from 168 last week, so a loss of 2.8! I've noticed that I will have a really good loss one week, then 1-2 weeks of little to nothing...so maybe this will keep me from getting discouraged in the future I'm really ready for that healthy BMI milestone at 162. My goal is to reach it by Christmas!! I definitely won't make 20 lbs, but I'm at 12 now so I could get close...maybe 15 or 16!
Have a good week, everyone!0 -
gain a pound:sad: .
Spreadsheet updated.0 -
Hellllooo:)
So weight in I'm 159lbs today:) that's only one up from what I was before I left on my trip ! It a week to shake off but it was 8 lbs ( water weight or something lol) but I'm almost there ! I want to be 157 for the next weigh in!
Good to go!:)0 -
144lbs down -2lbs from last week 8lbs to go 0
-
no change
but at least I'm still trying...still @ 214 0 -
I lost 0.6 pounds from last week.... Getting discouraged and trying not to throw in the towel. I've only lost 4.8 pounds since joining this challenge on 10/23/11. There is 3 weeks left to go in this challenge and there is no way that I will lose 15.2 pounds in that time frame. I'm very disappointed and feeling like a failure.... I know that this process is not easy. I'm just feeling like there is something that I am not doing right. Congrats to those of you that are doing such a great job!0

Oops I'm a day late, lol I thought it was Sunday today
Weigh In:
146.2 FINALLY lol took forever to see more than a pound lost in a week going to update spreadsheet! 0 -
Good morning ladies.
I have started 30 day shred and 6 week 6 pack for the month of December. I am determined to see a nice drop on the scale when I weigh-in at the end of this challenge. You guys are doing awesome with your weight-loss. I am always going to post some changes in my measurements in the end if I see any.0 -
Hey ladies! Sorry I have been so busy lately, what with the holidays coming I'm working longer hours and am just so busy! I have been keeping an eye on the spreadsheet, it looks like a few of us are almost AT OUR 20 POUND GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's give a shout out to everyone who is close to hitting that 20 lb mark, and for those of you that aren't quite there yet, time to pull out all the stops! This is OUR last chance work out. Christmas is at the end of the month!! Give me EVERYTHING you have!
I finally broke my plateau! I was on that thing for weeks! You all need to give me more cardio!! DO IT UP!! I want to see everyone at LEAST -2lbs this week. Let's get it done
Also- I love how everyone's been so accountable lately! Weighing in without a loss or even a gain is really difficult to do, I'm guilty of it as well. I only post when I lose weight.. but I need to be more honest with myself. You're all an inspiration, and the reason I run in the morning 0 -
143lbs -1lbs from last week0

YOUR NOT EXACTLY THE SAME...YOU'VE LOST 15 pounds! WOOHOO:flowerforyou:0

holding at 169!!!
down another half a pound
holding at 19.5 TOTAL loss (even though the ticker shows 20)
For DEC started DOING RIPPED IN 30 everyother day...plus the usual work out schedule (teach 3 spin classes, teach 1 cardio/strength training/core class, run 4 to6 miles at least one day per week, 60 min zumba one day per week, and if it doesnt rain on sunday ride my bike 40 or more miles)
nonscale victory: today i am wearing my size 12 Anne Taylor lined wool pants (no stretch and not oversized) and they are soooo looose i look silly! and can slide them off without unbuttoning! OMG!!! time to open my suitcase of formerly retired skinny clothes.
when I weighed in today the digital scale kept bouncin back and forth between 168.5 and 169 -- I actually saw 168.5 several seconds before that TEASE of a scale settled down to 169
Hit me with some James Brown: I FEEL GOOD...

My weigh-in today is 164.8. Of course I would have loved to drop a whole pound (I was 165.2 last week), but given that I lost almost 3 lbs the week before, I knew I wouldn't see a huge loss this week. I also went over maintenance Friday night, which is the FIRST time since I started this 4 months ago! I only got to the gym 3 times, & didn't do weights or the elliptical before class a single time, so not my best exercise week, either. This week is not nearly as crazy so I should get my normal workouts in! I hope everyone has a good weigh-in today. Just 2 more weeks until Christmas! I can't believe it!0

Another 2.4 pounds lost... Total loss to date: 13.6
spreadsheet updated0 -
I updated the spreadsheet this morning, but forgot to post in the thread Now I'm on the wrong computer and can't access the spreadsheet....
OK, weigh in... 203.6 - I've lost something, but I'm not sure what, because I updated the spreadsheet without making a note of my old weight first :noway:
So close to goal now!! .4lbs to go!
Well done everyone on your losses, well done Cschu for breaking your plateau! I love looking at the spreadsheet and seeing how much weight we've all lost together, we've done so well:drinker:
Edit: just worked it out, I've lost .8lb this week!0 -
I am less then 2 lbs away from the 20 lbs lost mark! I am waiting to see that nice number by the end of the month. I haven't lost anything. So I am hoping by adding in Jillian Michael's 6 week 6 pack and 30 day shred for this month will give my body a change. Although I am still Kickboxing :-). Plan on following a more strict diet starting this week. We got this in the bag team! We all should be proud of ourselves thus for.0
-
I weighed this morning and the scale said 306.6 lbs!! I started at 328 even and am now down to 306.6!!! I have lost 21.4 lbs doing this challenge!! Thank you so much for the motivation!! Keep it up guys it can be done and you still have time!! 0

i will weigh in tomorrow morning- i was in Banff last night and I didn't have access to a scale today!!0

Well ladies looks like I have lost the 2lbs I thought I had gained plus an extra pound. i have lost 22 lbs, current weight is 232 according to the doctors scale. curious to see what the end of the month brings.0

Hopefully, next week will see some improvement but...... if not,, I am PROUD of myself for losing so much since May, most of my weight loss was from October, when I first joined MFP. Back in May, I was 283, now I am 253.6,, a huge improvement -- 30 pounds!0 -
Woohoo!! I did it!!
Not only did I do it - I smashed it lol!!
My weigh in this week - 200.4, down 22.6lbs in total:drinker:
Thanks everyone for the support and good luck to everyone crossing the finishing line - you can do it! This has been a fantastic group and we've all come so far together, I never truly believed I'd actually lose 20lbs, and at the same time nearly hit that massive milestone of ONEderland!!!
Big, big, thanks to Cschu for setting up the group and sticking with it all the way through, You've been fantastic :flowerforyou:
Well done and good luck everyone!0 -
As we gear up for the final Sunday before Christmas, I just want to say I'm proud of each and every once of you for giving this challenge everything you had. I missed the mark by 3 pounds, but I am very proud of the weight I did lose in just under a month. Many of you have KILLED the 20 lb mark, and kept going- What an amazing loss!! I am so proud.. you don't even know. Later today I'll pull our final numbers from the spreadsheet, and we will see how our progress has really been.
I'd like to Thank you all for sticking with me through these last few months as we tried to avoid all the tasty, tempting holiday foods. I will be making a new challenge for Valentine's Day. Keep an eye out!
You're all an inspiration to me, and the reason I keep going on my journey.
Please enjoy your holidays, eat that cookie, you've all earned it.
Much Love-
Christina0 -
