It is finally that time! I can't wait to see your loses! Since today is weigh in day I will post our challenge tomorrow (we are starting weekly challenges)

I am posting the team list again on here with everyone's starting weights.

Each team member will be posting their results as follows:
Previous Weight (in this case it would be your Starting weight, since this is our first weigh-in)
Current Weight (your weight on Tuesday)
What you did this week to accomplish your weight loss / what you did this week that hindered your weight loss .....we can all learn from each other! (This is optional.....)


GOOD LUCK!!

    Previous: 185.0
    Current 179.9

    Helpers: Going to the gym and getting my weekly groceries delivered so I'm not tempted to buy rubbish as a "treat" while doing my food shopping.
    Hinderances: The availability of white choc chip cookies! :ohwell:


    * 179.9 lbs converted from 81.6 kg on a digital scale to lbs using Google's built in conversion

    Starting weight: 198
    Current weight: 196

    Helpers: actually attending my gym (also parking the car further away from the house and havig to wak) and eating small snacks Throughout the day. Ie. instead of a fruit salad. Have an orange here. An apple there ect.

    Complications: On Sunday I met up friends I have not seen in months. As a result we ended up in TGI and out drinking. Although I'm happy with my weight loss for my first week, I wonder what it would have been if I hadn't eaten and drunk that night.
    Plus A LOT more social events to come :-{

    current weight 179.8

    good thing: cut out the diet sodas and processed food.
    hinderance: didn't get all my workouts in due to working late some. need to just get up before work (even if it means getting up at 4:30am) and exercise then.

    Good thing - All my classes are now back to normal this week and my cold is getting better
    Hinderance - having a cold, didn't track somedays and just ate what I wanted which was usually comfort food plus wasn't well enough to workout

    Started the c25k program and walking the track at my kids basketball practices (which is 3 days a week). Stayinging at or under my calories goal most days. I think letting myself have the things I want but in moderation has helped me tremendously! !!

    Starting weight: 220.4
    Current weight: 213.4

    I really did a lot to make sure to see success. I drink half my body weight in oz of water, I limit my carb intake, and I stay around a 1200 calorie goal (my dr recommended that I eat about that much since I have issues losing weight). I make sure to fill my body with nutrient dense veggies that make me full so I'm not hungry and grazing later. Every morning I make sure to eat within 30min of waking up because it helps get your metabolism up and going. Also I big help to me is logging my food, if it touches my lips I log it.

    Exercise wise I make sure to get at least 20min of cardio (I prefer 45) in as well as different abdominal exercises.


    *****Good job to those that have logged their weight so far! Blue team is doing great!*****

    starting- 202.8
    Tuesday weigh in - 196.2

    Things that helped...
    I logged all my calories on my ipod
    I did at least 30 minutes of cardio 6 days a week.
    I ate at home more.
    My friend is also working at getting healthy. We check in with our buddies often.

    Difficulties...
    I caught an awful cold.
    My family and I went on a day trip and ate at a restaurant famous for fried chicken.
    My family caught my cold so I was very busy caring for them too.

    starting weight 183.2
    current weight 182.2

    Things that helped:
    Logging my calories everyday even on the days that I went over gave me a good perspective of what I am putting into my mouth and the total of calories I'm consuming.

    Difficulties:
    My family graciously shared a terrible cold with me and didn't exercise like I had planned due to not being able to breath well. Also, when I'm not feeling well I tend to reach for carbs and sweets.

    I'm feeling better now, so my outlook for the next week is looking good.

    I will be posting Blue Team shirts with lbs lost on each one....for this week I am doing 1-4lbs and then in 5lb increments. So if you have lost say 6-9lbs then you will have the 5lb image until you reach 10lbs....etc I will post these up really soon!

    Starting- 188
    Current - 184.6

    Helpers- I have been working out more than I use to.

    The issue I had trouble with last week is my great grandmother passed away last week and I was doing alot of baking for the family that was at the hospital. I had to try the items I was baking, so I am hoping that this week I will loose more.

    Great job everyone.

    Did you try changing the IMG to img. It has to be lower case on both places. You may have tried this already but just a suggestion.

    I'm so late - but I found my link and I'm here now! I didn't weigh this morning - I will do it when I get home. Some things show up on my phone so easy to use, then this had to be signed on computer to find. :) Another post when I get home then, hope I'm not up :(
