I may be joining this challenge a little late, but better late than never right? Sounds like a great challenge, so I am in, I love challenges. Your story sounds a little too familiar. I just got back from the beach and had the pleasure of seeing myself in pics in a bathing suit. Well let me just say this, reality has set in. I am surprised some animal activist didn't try to save the whale, haha, just kidding. Well I hope you all are -pounds closer to your goal, and here I go . . . see you on the lighter side! YES!
Starting weight : 190
Goal: 1500 -
Guys... I want to up the stakes this week.
One, because I need a swift kick in the A$$butt and two, I feel like doing a penance for a sinful week.:noway:
This puts us into week 5 and besides the eating and exercising, are we really pushing ourselves to the best of our abilities or...is this a walk in the park, too easy?
Here are some challengei deas...
You love that glass (or 3) of wine each night to unwind. Not allowed this week until Friday night!! OMG!
No sweets/candy all week
Take a hike outdoors instead of hitting the treadmill at the gym
Take a new class you've never done before, yoga, pilates, kickboxing
Clean out your pantry of all the crap and restock
Are you freaky about weighing yourself??? Like, every single day! Not allowed to weigh yourself until Friday ( I want to do this one)
I will not eat past 7pm
I will drink my quota of water each day
I will walk my dog for 20 minutes 5 days this week
I will be in bed by 9 and rise by 7am to stretch and start my day
etc!etc!....plug in your challenge
Any ideas out there. Let's pick one for the group, or come with your own personal challenge that you've conquered for 5 days.
Don't forget to post it next week. What do you guys think????
OK. I'm in with ya! I also need a kick in the *kitten*!
These are my goal/challenges this week AND next week:
~ Up at 5:30AM M-F to do 30 day shred. NO SLEEPING IN, AND BEING A LAZY BUTT!
~ In bed by 9:30PM!!!
~ No eating after 8PM (that's going to be the hardest I think :blushing: )
~ No fast food
~ Drink my water quota
~ WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN IN MY FOOD JOURNAL - No cheating, even on the w/e, every morsel!!
~ Do not go over allotted cals.
OK. I think that's about all mentally I'll be able to focus on, haha!

I did try to eat right this week but failed miserably. I didn't get any exercising in this week. But I guess my body didn't agree with the things I ate. I lose weight because I was sick bringing up every last thing I ate this week. Not how I wanted to lose but at this point I'll take anything. WHOA!!!!! 6lbs down GO ME!!!0 -

I know everyone has been doing this for over a month now but I wanted to know if I could join? I have had a very frustrating last couple months with this whole weight loss thing, including crying last Friday night before going out because I felt like crap. :explode:
I just don't know what has happened and I have pretty much hit rock bottom as of last Friday. I worked out 6 days last week and really tried to eat within my calorie range. I lost 2.5 pounds so i am going in the right direction. :glasses:
This group could be exactly the motivation I need and I know 20 pounds will stop me from crying before nights out with my girls:drinker:
So....

ok here are my goals/challenges for the week
walk my dog for 20 mins a day for 3 days- I hate the heat so this is definitely a challenge
drink my alloted water for the week- easy I love water
log in all foods for this week-usually only get in a day or two. when I start eating poorly i stop logging
get in more fruits and veggies
spend more time being activity- no tv or computer til after 6- this will nearly kill me
in bed by 8 sleep by 9- good luck to me. 4 kids out for the summer they never sleep
I think thats all for this week. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
