whats sixers slimmer? is it a workout program?0
-
It is what it is. up 5#s since the beginning of last challenge. any reason why are just excuse. i am the one in control. no exercising this last week cause of a hurt foot, i could have done upper body, bike, etc. eating to much. i could have made better choices, or not ate as much of the foods i wanted/ate. i could have this or that. it was my choice not to, so there's no reason for the gain. i accept that and learned and move on to a new challenge.

LOL Kristin. I love your weight!
I'll weigh in later during my afternoon workout. I just wanted to put my name near the top of the list for once! :laugh:
Yesterday, I ran 1.25mi straight through (mind-boggling to me!!) AND I DIDN'T BINGE EAT!!! Yessssssssss. I stayed within my calories. The "Complete Your Day" button told me if every day was like yesterday, I could weigh 152.7lbs in 5 weeks. :noway: .
For this challenge, I am going to set a real goal, not 2lbs like last time.
For this challenge, I am going to buy a pair of jeans in a size that is too small for me (by about half a size too small) and I want to wear them at the end.
I want to conquer my weight. I want to move into the low to mid 150s and quit hanging out by the 160s.
I think I can do this. :flowerforyou:
Have a great Tuesday, Sixers!!! I'll be back later.0 -
finishing the last team paper today and then I'm DONE DONE DONE!!!!

Ok I want to join this group if that is ok!!! So The goal weight what you hope to achieve the next six weeks or each week?? Thanks laides for letting me join!!
Jess0 -
Jess, welcome! Yes, we've been doing 6-week challenges for a while now. You set the goal you'd like to see for the end of the 6 weeks and we weigh in on Tuesdays (and start a new thread). You can just randomly pick a number if you want or you can go with 10 to 15% of the weight you've got left to lose. Whatever you think will be challenging and fair
Kristin, I also love your check-in. CUTE! And GREAT pics. Just amazing isn't it?!
Cathy, join me and get your head back into the game woman!! :flowerforyou: You can do it!!! I hope all goes well at the Dr.
AmyLou, SO glad you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Soon Em and Tiff can join you there!
Lauryn, YAY YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Nice work running :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I love your goals too!! I'm going to copy you a little
Well, it's 7:44am and I just got back 15 minutes ago from a 7.65km run. WHEW! It was a tough one, but when I consider I'm gearing up to run the half marathon in 5 months, I am forced to keep it in perspective
I have still been hovering between 176 and 178 since the 10k but I'll weigh in tomorrow morning for my official start weight for this challenge. Then, as I mentioned before, I'm not weighing in throughout this one. I am going to make the most of every day and if I do find I'm slacking off without the scale then I'll change my plan. I currently have a pair of jeans that are 1 size too small (definitely a full size!) so I would either like to fit into those by the end of this challenge or fit loosely into my current jeans which are snug at the moment :grumble: I'm looking forward to this challenge!!!

Welcome Jess!! The goal weight is your 6 week goal.
We use to calculate them mathematically, and that fell to the wayside to all of us just making up a goal :laugh: . Our old goals were based on 15% or 20% of how much you have left to lose.
So if you have 43lbs left to lose, 15% = 6.45lbs and 20% = 8.6lbs. Those are just general ideas for goal weight loss in 6 weeks time.0 -
Ok wel if that is the case I will shoot for 170 instead of 171 I think I can manage 8 pounds in 6 weeks. I just got my slim in 6 ideos so this couldnt be a better start time for me. GOOD LUCK ladies!!!!0

Lauryn you are so cute!!! ((((Lauryn)))) :bigsmile:
I try :bigsmile: 0 -
Jess, sounds great! Keep up with us and you'll go far. (That sounds like a cheesy line from a movie, doesn't it???)
Rhiannon, I think not focusing on the scale but focusing on a pair of jeans is somehow easier for me. And it's SO REWARDING to get in those jeans. I have done this a couple times now and I LOVE IT. I was dancing around my room night before last in a bunch of clothes from high school that fit. :blushing: However, I need to either lose more or tone better 'cause that mama-gut is NOT cute in my high school clothing!!
It's a happy day for me, folks. YAY!!!! I need all the happy days I can get!

AND welcome!:flowerforyou:0 -
Welcome Kelly!!
A little background for the newest members:
Kristin (Kistinbee) is our fearless leader. However, being halfway through her first pregnancy (a baby sixer!! haha), her goals are to GAIN and not LOSE, lol.
And me? I'm just a crazy nut who avoids work by posting here non-stop. You actually might see less of me after I'm laid off (displacement job end date of Friday, May 22) because I won't be avoiding work, :laugh: . I'm newly separated, 27 y/o with a 3.5 y/o (going on 14) diva extraordinaire, currently living at home in Mom & Dad's House for the NonCriminally Insane. Life's crazy for me. I recently starting running and just did my personal best of running a whole 1.25mi without stopping yesterday! Woot woot!!
So Jess and Kelly, give us a little background on you!!0 -
Lauryn

Seriously -- this group has been the motivating factor in keeping me losing weight. No lie. Without this group, I'd have given up a while back, I just know it.0 -
