    Hello my lovely ladies....... :flowerforyou:

    A big apology for just going rogue style MIA...Life just completely overwhelmed me and I couldnt keep up anymore!

    I knew you guys would be here, with another challenge :) Im so glad you are!

    Im not sure on my weight..I have gained I know. I stopped checking it when I stopped checking in with you guys! I still fit in my 10/12's so thats a good thing.

    I let the stress of school, motherhood, and life in general get to me and I ate..and ate..and drank good beer and yummy wine! Plus, I havent been good with exercising. I went to the gym maybe 4-5 times out of a month.

    I'm ready to start with a clean slate :) I'll fix my weight tomorrow and put up my stats.... Fill me in ladies through a private message- I dont want to clog up this thread with catching up :)

    Ive missed you guys SO much! You will accept me back wont you?!?! I promise to not go astray again without some notice... :smile:

    :heart:

    Hey Katy, welcome back!!!! We are still here, and our fearless leader Kristin is preggers!! We are gonna have a Little Sixer on the boards soon! :laugh:

    If you took off all that time but stayed in your 10/12s, I'd say you are doing super wonderful lady! Now get back in gear and ready for our weigh ins!

    Well Miss Lauryn,

    Thank you evry so much for the info on how to copy. And of course for the kudos and caring about my sunburn. How ever my kid is off work today (due to her car breaking this A.M.) so.....off to the pool I go again. LOL Can' t help my self. Thank God I turn brown after a day. Still not feeling all that great though. I have a Headache and sore throat. Working outside as I do it could be the pollen. I normally don't have any problems with it. But it's very bad this year. Any Thanks again for the info.

    KATY!!!! I'm so glad you're back! Now we just need to wrangle up Deb, Cass and Connie...

    Lauryn, that's VERY true what Robin said. Especially in the processed foods.

    Robin, good for you for looking into your sodium levels. Cottage cheese is a big one. I found a brand of organic cottage cheese that has only 25mg of sodium per half cup rather than 420mg!! I also found an organic salsa that is very low. Eden Organic doesn't use any salt in their canned products, and on top of that they don't use bisphenol-A inside the cans so you're not eating wicked toxins.

    Just a quick hello... got to get a move on and make lunch then head to the beach with my kiddos for some stone throwing. :flowerforyou:

    So when I woke up this morning I was so unmotivated and didnt want to workout at all, I just wasnt feeling it. As the day progressed I decided to just do my video and get it over with. Half way through I found an amazing energy that helped me get through it, the whole thing. Thats not all I just got back from a brisk 30 mintue walk. I have no idea where the energy came from Im just glad I got it. I hope that it keeps up and I can feel like this the rest of the week and the rest of my life. Thanks for all the amazing inspiration ladies you have truely helped me!!

    Well My lovely Sixers!!! I wanted to post on the first day of week 2. Is anyone else ALARMED THAT IT IS ALREADY NEAR THE END OF MAY. Now I understand that real time DOES FLY. :laugh: I'm proud of everyone's progress. Congratulations!!! Today I burned 904 cals with the trainer and 106 cal on a 20 min walk w/ Dylan after training. WHEW..... I ate a salad for dinner and I'm pooped. This BETTER pay off. LOL. :happy: I hope everyone is doing well and I'll check back later!!!

    Lauryn- I too started eating what was easy but when I wasn't working I got into my fresh veggies and fruit. You will too!! Give yourself time. You can definitely do it!!!

    Robin- Glad to see you staying with your plans. Good luck

    Rhiannon- I see you are still focused.

    RedNeckW- What is your real name? I hope you are doing well. Good luck with your goals.

    Josie: Anyone of the old members will add you to the list. We usually copy and paste the latest updated version and then add our info. You will catch on. However I believe you need to calculate how much you want to lose for this challenge. So you want to lose 44 lbs overall.... 10% of that is 4.4 lbs and 15% is 6.5 lbs. Best of luck to you!!! Glad you joined the group!


    Tiff is doing well. She starts her review for national boards this week and I'm sure she will be as busy as I was when I was studying. Keep her in your thoughts.

    Love yall!

    I have yet to weigh in. I think I might get to that today. I feel very lax about things this week. I have a head cold (pollen allergies) and a possible uti. Overall, I would really just like to stay in bed and sleep forever but I know I shouldn't so I don't.

    I'm still eating processed garbage for now. I need to put together a real menu of decent meals.

    Breakfast:
    coffee with lotsa creamer
    Smart Ones breakfast quesadilla

    Lunch:
    Lean Cuisine Sesame chicken with pasta
    Lipton Diet Green Tea

    Snack:
    100 calorie (Target) Market Pantry cheese crisps

    If I'm still hungry, 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzels or maybe a Fiber One chocolate bar.
    I'll also be sure to drink plenty of water. I'm trying to drink plain water, no extra flavorings added to it. I was able to pull it off yesterday. Summer heat helps me drink my water.

    Speaking of yesterday, I ate more during the day, a "better" dinner (not sodium wise though.... 4300g of sodium!!!!!! yikes), and didn't have anything to snack on after dinner. I was proud of that minor accomplishment.

    Hello ladies! Well, I finally weighed in. I stayed the same. That is good and bad I dont want to spend this entire challenge right here at the same weight. Still super limited on the exercise due to anemia and hernia. So, the solution will have to be in my food.

    Katy, love the new pic and sometimes a fresh start it just what you need!

    Lauryn, I'm glad you have your sights set on lowering your intake of junk and sodium. I'm amazed at the path my sodium intake has taken since I made an effort to improve in that area. I had gestational hypertension the second time around and pregnancy is a great window for ones susceptibilities so I know I need to be careful of blood pressure-related lifestyle issues. Though I've set my daily sodium limit at 1500 and added it to my spreadsheet (along with fibre), I usually don't go over 1000mg a day and frequently it's more like 600-800mg for the day. It's amazing how much I taste salt in things. Last time we went to a restaurant I could barely eat my supper because it was SO SALTY.

    Cathy, sorry about the stresses. Money worries are so hard to navigate... Hopefully the move will refresh your sense of optimism :happy:

    Tamm, nice workout! How are you liking working with the trainer?

    Tiff, thinking of you!!

    Amy, how's it going?

    Kristin, have fun at the lake!!!

    Everyone else, HI!! Got to get a move on. Have a good one!

    Cathy, from my experience, I don't feel the impact of ab or but workouts same day, but boy do I feel it the next day!! (And sometimes the next and the next after that, lol)
